Seen Thor: Love and Thunder? Have questions? Drop us a line at xray@crooked.com. On this episode of X-Ray Vision, Jason Concepcion and Rosie Knight workout with Surtur’s chains! First in Previously On (2:59), Jason and Rosie discuss the upcoming Paper Girls adaptation on Amazon Prime as well as the Duffer Brothers new production company and expanding the Stranger Things-verse. Then they lightning recap episodes 4 & 5 of Ms. Marvel, exploring the messiness of time travel narratives and pondering whether Damage Control will inevitably lead to the Sentinels and the X-Men (because it’s not X-Ray Vision without talking about X-Men!). In the Airlock (1:05:09), Jason and Rosie dive deep (deeeep) into the shadow realm to discuss Thor: Love and Thunder (in theaters now), recapping the film, giving their reactions on Christian Bale’s performance, Taika’s magical, manic energy, as well as background and lore on some new and familiar ideas and characters in the MCU.
