Hi Malia. How you doing? Oh my god I genuinely thought your name was Brian the Sultan Joe.

I know because you're a good guy and definitely not a villain and everything's fine. Great we are here to talk about this Marvel episode five time and again written by Fatima Asgard and directed by Charmine Abad Shinoi.

And this is the penultimate episode of a Marvel TV product which usually puts us in a position where we're like where are we going where have we been what are we doing here what can we expect it's a it's always an interesting play.

In a six episode series episode five.

So we'll get into all of that we'll do a breakdown we'll give our overall thoughts and feelings just quick of course business before we get into that program reminders.

The midnight boys will be here on Friday tomorrow maybe if you're listening to this on Thursday maybe you're listening to it on Friday the midnight boys will be here with with their Thor 11 Thunder thoughts and feelings I'm really excited to hear what they what they thought of that.

false and social and last but certainly never least your friendly neighborhood spoiler warning which is quite simply that we will be talking about everything Miss Marvel leading up through episode five we're also going to do a little like time travel in film and television and books discussion so we will let you know what we'll talk we're talking about before we I don't know layout the full plot of a movie you've maybe been waiting to see so

but I'll let you know we get this section I'm just going to blanket it now please do not be mad at me first boiling quote unquote a movie that's 20 years old or something like that we'll talk about it later maybe a earlier later version of yourself has already insured that that can happen predestination paradox regarding the spoiler warning

you know it's a cause of loop that's that's a that's all the business I think that I have to have to do so let's let's just give some overall thoughts of feeling smelly how are you feeling about this episode and how are you feeling about this season of television so far overall

this was the episode that I was probably most mixed on to date there were parts of it that I really enjoyed and I thought were incredibly like emotionally cathartic and impactful and I loved those parts of it I thought that the mythology centric lore centric elements left me wanting a little bit more in terms of like the actual insights and explanations the mechanics of the story choices on the time travel front and otherwise

and that gets me to the place that I am and every episode five of every Disney plus show today which is that I wish the show were longer and think it needs more time and one of the things that this episode did that I've actually really like long for and craved and other shows was spend time in a different character set

a different place different moment of the timeline I thought it was so cool that we got to go back to that 1942 to 1947 window and spend time with Aisha and Hassan and see the roots that became this beautiful family tree that we are so deeply invested in an attached to at this point
