Justice for Taskmaster – A Review of Thunderbolts pt.2

Welcome back to Part 2 of our Thunderbolts movie review! Kareem, Ken, and Pat are joined by special guest Mayday to dive even deeper into the MCU’s latest team-up. But as you know, nothing with this crew stays on topic for long.

Today, we double down on tangents you didn’t know you needed: pitching dream cast replacements (because, yes, we have strong opinions on who should and shouldn’t be in this movie).

We’ll be running the MCU’s new Super-Soldier Staffing Office, flipping the Thunderbolts from freelance mercenaries into A-List government troopers. Picture each team member filing into HR for clearance, who’s green-lit for full Avenger status, who’s reassigned to Wakandan R&D, and who lands a cubicle in Department H’s covert task force?

Show Notes

This week, the conversation goes completely off the rails as they get into:

Why the MCU seems obsessed with constantly reminding us that the Avengers are gone. We get it, you miss them too!
The tragic, wasted potential of Taskmaster. Could this movie have been saved if they hadn’t, you know, done that?
A heated debate about the Eternals and why they feel so… insignificant. Are they even real?
Plus, a whole lot of other tangents you never knew you needed.

Tune in to hear their unfiltered thoughts, wild theories, and a healthy dose of exasperation with the current state of the cinematic universe.

EP.121 – Catching Bullets With His Teeth – A Review of The State of Martial Arts Films pt.1 – Tangential Giants Podcast

This week on Tangential Giants, Kareem, Ken, Patrick, and guest JPG attempt the impossible: giving a straight, disciplined breakdown of the state of martial arts films today. Naturally, it goes off the rails immediately.Kareem and JPG revive their long‑running feud over who the real host of Tangential Giants is, Ken tries to keep the peace like a weary kung‑fu mentor who never asked for this, and Patrick wonders aloud how Superman ever got talked into snapping necks in the first place.From the elegance of classic martial arts choreography to the modern trend of turning every fight scene into a small‑arms convention, the crew eventually lands on Roadhouse and its staggering devotion to gunfire. They try to talk technique and philosophy, but Roadhouse keeps showing up like an uninvited bar brawler.If you like martial arts cinema, chaotic detours, and the kind of debates that only get louder when no one is winning, this episode is your dojo.#tangentialgiants #martialartsmovies #actioncinema #roadhouse #superman #moviepodcast #filmtalk #popculturepodcast #JPGvsKareem
