Before Black Panther, there was Blade. For Black History Month, Caroline takes a look at the Blade film trilogy starring Wesley Snipes. While Blade was essential in paving the way for the MCU, the character hasn’t gotten the attention he deserves. Caroline unpacks the importance of Blade as a Black vampire hunter as she journeys through the complicated history of race in vampire fiction.

Deadpool is officially part of the MCU! Genn and Bridgette share their insight on the Deadpool and Wolverine trailer and laugh and speculate as we start the countdown to July. Our beloved Merc with the Mouth tangles with TVA (we Nerd Alert Girls EAGERLY await roasting the Loki series). He's also teaming up (or battling to the immortal, bloody death?) with Wolverine (yeah, we know...calm down).

Howard Stark has played a supporting role in the stories of Iron Man, Captain America, and Agent Carter, but what is his story? Caroline and Bridgette argue that Howard is a more complex and ultimately tragic character than he’s initially made out to be - both by his son and by fandom.

Cynical and heroic, secretly kind and not-so-secretly in love with Steve, Howard struggles with self-esteem and communication issues all his life. We hypothesize about how Howard and Tony’s vastly different generations, class backgrounds, and emotional needs contribute to their fraught relationship. We also look at Howard’s other relationships throughout the MCU movies and television series. And Bridgette throws in a Pride & Prejudice reference for good measure.

We came, we saw, and we loved it. The Nerd Alert Girls finished watching Marvel’s Echo and have MUCH to discuss. This phenomenal show runs the gamut: healing from generational trauma, struggling with estranged family members, and coming into one’s own power. Listen as Bridgette, Genn, and Caroline applaud Alaqua Cox's performance as Maya Lopez, gripe about the Kingpin's roach-like ability to survive anything, and more.

He’s not who I had in mind, but I liked him in The Creator. Alright, let’s do this

John David Washington is reportedly being considered for the role of Kang in the MCU

Season 2 of What If…? flips our expectations of who’s a hero and who’s a villain in another inventive slate of episodes. We start our season recap with an overview of themes, including light vs. darkness, the power of friendship, and becoming more than a tool for another person’s ends. Then we do a deep dive analysis for every episode from Nebula Blade Runner, to 80s Avengers, to Marvel Die Hard, to Kahhori in Sky World, and more. We laugh, we cry, we rant! We conclude with a broader look at the series’ place in the MCU and address Sam Wilson’s absence from the series along with fandom hate toward Peggy Carter.

Brace yourselves, because this is the longest episode in the history of Nerd Alert Girls. In our defense, it’s our favorite Marvel series and it got dumped on us all at once over the holidays! We start our episode-by-episode breakdown at the 39:10 timestamp.

I'm so glad that Josh Keaton is voicing Steve Rogers in What If...? because, yes, he is absolutely excellent in the role but also... if I heard my bias Chris Evans say "my lady" in that way, my appendix and my ovaries would have exploded.

There should be an Oscar category called the Samuel L. Jackson Award for Acting in a Terrible Movie.

I thought about it during Secret Invasion about how he elevates material (other good actors in that show did too, like Olivia Coleman). But his monologue in Deep Blue Sea is so randomly great, and the movie is so dumb. I think it must be harder to be good in a bad thing than be good in a good thing. So he's actually better than a lot of people who have won Oscars in competition. (Still randomly mad his lifetime Oscar wasn't presented on TV.)

Imagine someone else saying the line "Hold onto your butts" in Jurassic Park.

The Echo trailer has dropped and the Nerd Alert Girls have thoughts and feelings! Listen as Bridgette and Genn are joined by the Sorceress Supreme Caroline in theorizing what the premiere of Echo will mean for the MCU and what could possibly happen with BAMF Maya Lopez and the terrifying, unkillable Wilson Fisk.

America: Can I go to the movies tonight?

Stephen: What do I look like? Your dad? Do whatever you want. I don’t care.

America: Okay—

Stephen: But be home by ten, don’t talk to strangers, and remember to look both ways before crossing the street.

America:

Stephen: Oh, and here, ten bucks for popcorn.

I am Groot, you are Groot, we are Groot. I Am Groot is a delightful Marvel series of shorts about Baby Groot’s childhood antics, and it is an absolute treat. Bridgette and Genn discuss and coo over the show, chuckle at its cleverness, and make some surprising connections that heal the battered souls still reeling from Ultron in What If? and Thanos from Infinity War. Groot is the Chosen One (as he should be), and this is a miniseries you can't miss!
