About this episode
MCU tries to reset, Murderbot tries to escape emotional damage.
This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl break down Captain America: Brave New World, where Sam Wilson’s shield meets political paranoia and a very red, very angry Hulk. Then it’s back into the soap-operatic arms of Murderbot, as Episode 5 serves up sabotage, sass, and an unexpected anatomy lesson. One’s trying to save the world, the other just wants to be left alone with their shows—and honestly, we relate.
