Season 2, Episode 01

July 17th 2021

While my first few episodes weren’t to any particular schedule, the next few were all planned in advance, with an expected gap of about a fortnight between each episode. It’s a pattern I’ve tried to stick to since, with varying degrees of success.

Obviously for the first one I went back to the MCU, and while it’s not as well structured as some of the episodes that would come later, I was just finding it fun to talk about something I love.
