Well, that happened. After years of turmoil, The Flash finally made it to the big screen in his own live action solo movie… but did anyone see it?

3/12/2023
That’s right, we have returned! Okay, it’s not from the Quantum Realm, but UNT is back to review Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania (brother). If you were wondering what S.U.P.E.R.J.E.W. stood for, why Cassie looks different or just how many holes we have, look no further as we dive ooze-first into our latest podcast, where we discuss the latest installment of the MCU. Was this movie as disappointing as the critics say? Or is it building to something with a rarely-seen nuance and subtlety not often present in the MCU? Will Kevin finally stop calling Bill Murray, and is Michelle Pfeiffer still white gold? To find out, kick back and exile yourself with us and the Dynasty of UNTs (no we didn’t leave out a letter).

How does a single woman navigate life in the MCU as a courtroom lawyer, while dealing with her new Hulk powers? These are the questions raised by the latest Marvel show, that dared to be a little too comic book accurate for some folks. But also... Is it as bad as they say it is? Has it “ruined” the MCU? How much fourth wall breaking is too much? And which cameo was your favorite?

With the Multiverse of Madness on its way, we used the power of the Time Stone to go back and correct a mistake to finally review the MCU movie from 2016, Doctor Strange. Benedict Cumberbatch and Stephen Strange have since become a mainstay in the MCU, but this is where it all started. We covered sorcerers, sling rings, the difference between dimensions, realities and universes, as well as taking a look to the future to what the new Doctor Strange film might unlock. Most of all, we want Bruce Campbell. Hosted by: ‘Captain Boomerang’ Greig Tansley (@GreigT13).

UNT 136: The Batman

3/20/2022
Yet another comic book reboot has landed upon us, but is this one any good? Opinions are mixed, but we decided to dive cowl-first into The Batman. A new psychopathic version of The Riddler... an obsessive, detective Batman... non-Catwoman Selina Kyle and more flying rats that you can poke a Batarang at, this movie was so full of comic book lore, we spent almost the full runtime discussing it. So before you join the ‘ugly actors need roles too’ picket line, chill out at the Iceberg Lounge and take a listen to our latest episode. Hosted by: 'Captain Boomerang' Greig Tansley (@GreigT13).
