Previously: We talked about villains and anti-heroes in V. E. Schwab’s Vicious

Sweeney: This title is the fucking worse and we are very much aware. Phases 1 and 2 were so nice an easy! But Phase 3 will have 10 movies by the time it concludes with Avengers 4 and if you’ve heard us struggle to talk about 6 movies in a reasonable time frame, you know that 10 is just not possible. AND SO, we are splitting this up into 3 parts because we do what we want. This episode ends with Thor: Ragnarok, we’ll discuss the next 4 films when Captain Marvel is released in March, and then we’ll finish with a bang and give Avengers 4 its own episode.
Still with me? OK, cool. Today we’re talking about Captain America: Civil War, Doctor Strange, Guardians of the Galaxy vol 2, Spider-man: Homecoming, and Thor: Ragnarok. It’s less of a matched set than in the previous phases, but we found plenty to talk about.
We are joined once again on this journey by our friends Nick Jenkins and Rich Camillucci. Nick is senior producer for Crash Course and the host of Reel Bad, a podcast about bad movies and why they want to hurt us. Rich is the president of Arcade Audio and hosts two podcasts of his own – Podswoggle & The Blank Slate. You can keep up with his many projects over on Twitter.
