Today on the Marvel Cinematic Universe Podcast, we are two weeks away from Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantum Mania coming out, and the Hype Train is just a rollin'.

Oh, that amores us that we have no control over.

Welcome to the Marvel Cinematic Universe Podcast, my name is Matthew Carroll, and I'm Jeff Randall.

Oh, Jeff, we've already recorded this section of the podcast once. We're back to try it again, because Patreon was a mess this week.

We're going to be talking about some feedback on this episode, but we had recorded this long thing to tell you guys about the new plans for Patreon, and then we went on to Patreon, and we had all the changes made, and Patreon shattered our plans.

So, just to give you guys a heads up, this is the deal. We are pushing the Patreon. We are trying to put a lot of new energy into the show, and we're going to put a lot of new energy into the Patreon.

Patreon.com slash MCU cast. That's right. That's the main headline is that we got new stuff coming. There will be some very deliberate, like Patreon exclusive stuff.

In the past, we've been very hesitant to do that, mainly because I just have this like, oh, we made the content, we put it out into the world. It's for the people. Let's give it to the people.

Yes, and I feel like we up until now have short-shifted the Patreon patrons, because we don't give them enough bang for their book, and they are giving us books, and we want to start doing that more.

So, we've completely changed all the levels on Patreon. It's $5 a month to join.

You get exclusive Patreon episodes. We're at least going to do one a month. We've got some really cool. We're going to be doing, this is my favorite thing. We're going to be commentary tracks.

Leading up to the new movies, so starting in March, we're going to be doing Guardians of the Galaxy commentary tracks on Guardians of the Galaxy 1 and 2, leading into 3.

That's exciting, because it's going to be like, literally watching the movie with us, and we're going to talk about the way that the movie is interacting with what we're thinking and stuff about the new movie coming out soon.

It's going to be really cool. That's one of the coolest. That's one of the coolest.

Exactly. That's the things that you love. That is the plan.

You want us to talk over the movie you love? Give us money.

No, it's one of those things. People have been asking for commentary tracks for years, and we haven't done them partially because I always felt weird about it.

Yeah, I always feel like my opinion can't matter that much to talk over the movie.

Right, a little bit. That's kind of how I felt, but then I thought about it. I feel like on the Patreon is kind of the perfect place for it.

It just fits in very well with what the patrons want to hear. We're going to be doing that, and the idea of doing them for movies that are leading into movies that are about to happen, that just is really cool.

That's one of the many kinds of patron exclusives that we're going to be doing.

But we're going to be doing patron exclusives every month. We're going to have, you have all your episodes are ad-free.
