Ok, wow, it’s Headgum’s first ever Comic-Con live event! This special bonus episode taped live at San Diego Comic-Con is brought to you by the power of Thor’s hammer, the power of Gabrus in Hercules cosplay, Thor’s butt in the buff, and Gabrus’s butt in a speedo. Plus new and returning guests Sasheer Zamata (Home Economics, SNL, Best Friends) and Ify Nwadiwe/Tengen Uzui (Grand Crew, Twisted Metal, Maximum Film)! What a way to wrap up our mightiest season yet. Not saying Kevin Feige scheduled the Marvel panel right after ours in different venue because he was scared…but he hasn't said otherwise…

Thanks for tuning in and see you all for the next one!

Special treat: Watch the video version of the episode on Headgum’s YouTube at 8am EST.

The time has come: Pip the Troll (whom you might know as Patton Oswalt) joins Nicole and Lauren to wave goodbye to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and discuss the swirling rumors of a Patton-Oswalt-and-Harry-Styles Eternals spinoff vehicle. But, wipe those tears: Newcomers will be back next week with a very special bonus episode, recorded live from Comic Con in San Diego this weekend. The journey continues!

Let's give a big, warm welcome to Jake Gyllenhaal to the Marvel Cinematic Universe -- and an even bigger, warmer welcome to Whitmer Thomas (The Golden One on HBOMax, Corked coming soon on Headgum) to the Newcomers Cinematic Universe! Nicole and Lauren take Whitmer on vacay with them and Peter Parker, and establish once and for all that Marvel does the teen-road-trip-romance genre right.

What is this podcast, if not Nicole and Lauren persevering? Producer/writer/host/professional nerd Emma Fyffe joins us as we go from widescreen to the tube and dive into our first MCU installment on (and celebrating!) the small screen. Is the Scarlet Witch our favorite Marvel superhero? Or just, apparently, the powerful-est? You'll have to tune in to find out.

Next week's movie: Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) (Yes, we know this is out of order don't come for us!)

All good Avengery things must come to an end. Comedian/writer/actor and creator of Fire Island (arguably the best film outside the MCU), Joel Kim Booster joins Nicole and Lauren to wave a teary goodbye to the ensemble-est part of the franchise. They also do some NSFW Marvel-related shopping on Etsy.com, a sentence that none of us ever thought we'd ever write, ever.

The MCU finally serves up a female lead superhero and Nicole and Lauren are... well, less than impressed. Emily Gonzalez and Sammy Smart of new Headgum show Too Scary; Didn't Watch go off-script to watch a non-scary movie with us, as we meet Carol Danvers and discuss the moral ambiguity of Nick Fury doing... that thing... he did... to the skrull. You know the scene we're talking about.

Well, well, well - if it isn't last season's Newcomers host Gabrus, reunited with Lauren and Nicole once again, not unlike the way the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy join forces in this week's MCU installment. We totally planned it that way! Join us, and them, as they fight to protect all the Infinity Stones (not unlike Croc Jibbitz) from the evil grasp of evil Thanos.

Bet you've been wondering when Lauren and Nicole would make it back to Wakanda. Well, they've arrived. And? They love it. True friend-of-the-pod Shaun Diston stops by with his well-worn copy of the Marvel Encyclopedia to teach us a thing or two about the Xhosa language, vibranium mines, and - most importantly - which MCU characters Lauren and Nicole should get to play.

Everyone said Nicole and Lauren would like this one. Since the start of the season, they all said: "Just wait 'til Thor: Ragnarok." And so we waited, traveling to Xandar and the Quantum Realm and the Avengers' mansion, until it was time for us to reunite with Thor and Loki and Heimdall (but this time, they're funnier).

Paul Scheer (How Did This Get Made?, The League, Marvel 616) stops by to find out if Nicole and Lauren did, in fact, like this one. Well, did they? You'll have to tune in to find out.

Fiiiinallyyyy, Nicole and Lauren get to hang out with Peter Parker for a whole feature. And who better to take us through Spider-man's return to the MCU than actor, comedian, and Marvel's Next Breakout Superhero according to Stephen Colbert: Zach Cherry. And before you ask: yes, we watch Tom Holland's wet-hot performance of Umbrella and, yes, we get a Cam update! Wow, a jam-packed ep.
