WandaVision's penultimate episode explores the past events that lead Wanda to where she is now. While the previous episode showed that it was, "Agatha all along," this episode is all about trauma, which serves as the primary villain of this series. 

This episode was a surprisingly moving character study of Wanda Maximoff that exceeds all expectations. WandaVision isn't just a good show, its a great show.

In this Nerd Flix & Chill podcast, we dive deep into WandaVision, episode 8, "Previously On."

Also, we have a new prediction for who may show up in the final episodes.

It seems like each episode of WandaVision has viewers rethinking all of their theories from the previous week, a sign that the showrunners are still several steps ahead of the audience. This week is no exception. Pietro Maximoff does not appear to be what he seems, neither to Wanda, nor the audience. Pietro is a shark, a devil in disguise.

This week's episode of The Mandalorian is a thoughtful look at the moral relativism and consequences of war. This is a thoughtful look at how power structures can fail, and the chaos that war leaves behind.

In this Nerd Flix & Chill podcast, we discuss The Mandalorian: Chapter 15, The Believer.

Chapter 14 of The Mandalorian, The Tragedy, offers some incredible action sequences and gives new life to a classic Star Wars character. However, there are some issues with the emotional stakes. The Tragedy doesn't feel so tragic because the constant presence of Din Djarin's mask makes it difficult  to grasp the emotions of the character. More time without the mask will lead to a greater connection to the character.

We discuss all this and more in the week's Nerd Flix & Chill podcast.

Mulan has finally been released on Disney+ after months of delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While it is a film that has some flaws, it nevertheless tells an important story that will resonate with many. It is a film that speaks to those who have had to hide their passion, talent and power in order to adhere to social and cultural expectations. This is a story of one who defies those expectations and forges a new path. 

In this Nerd Flix & Chill podcast we review the film and discuss the experience of streaming versus the theater experience.

Watchmen's finale was a very successful ending to an incredibly successful show. The final episode brought its main characters and story lines together and tied everything up quite nicely. It was bittersweet, but also inspiring and ends on a more hopeful note than the comic.

Watchmen's penultimate episode takes a step back. It explores the relationship between Angela and Dr. Manhattan, filling in many missing plot details.  Manhattan's entrance into the story never overshadows Angela or the narrative. It's another terrific episode with incredible moments and brilliant storytelling. 

In this Nerd Flix & Chill podcast, we recap Watchmen's eighth episode, A God Walks into Abar.

Watchmen's sixth episode mostly takes place in the past, and while that lack of forward movement can sometimes stifle shows, it occasionally provides something brilliant. Such is the experience of This Extraordinary Being. Up to this point, Angela Abar has rejected her past, her legacy. But now, she is getting a full dose of it, reliving the memories of her grandfather. 

What Angela learns is not just that her grandfather was the first hooded vigilante, but also the difficulties and hardships that he faced. She learns  about the anger that lies beneath each injustice that he faced, and the mistakes he made.

In this Nerd Flix & Chill podcast, we discuss this terrific episode and the awareness it raises and its ongoing cultural relevance.
