  • Highest-quality Marvel podcast around!

    If you want to have a thoughtful conversation about enjoying the wins of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this is the podcast for you!

    If you enjoy pessimistic “it’s so over” takes, this podcast is NOT for you, and there are plenty of other options available for you.

    Kyle and Robby genuinely care about each other, their fans, story, writing, and the MCU as a whole. They watch Marvel content because it’s their passion; they don’t seek out reasons to hate. They’re optimistic critics who aren’t afr... more

  • Great pod

    Plus members don’t really get enough content for $5 a month. Kyle interrupts Robbie too much. Gets a little annoying. Also, they literally love everything marvel makes. No honest criticism and review. But decent pod

  • Little Knowledge of Marvel

    They don't know much more about Marvel than my mom. Painful to hear them try to piece together history then get it wrong.

  • A Staple for any MCU Fan

    FFW has been a part of my weekly podcast routine for years now. Their reviews and input always bring a positive yet critical light to all things MCU. It’s fun to have their podcast as listening material for new MCU projects that come out. And, their Patreon content is worth every penny!

  • Must listen

    Best and most positive MCU podcast out there. I love their energy and how they are able to be critical but not hateful and mean with their reviews. I always look forward to their episodes.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Your Spider-Man Questions Answered. Plus X-Men '97 ep. 1-4 with Eric and Julia Lewald
Q: Do you think Miles Morales will be featured in the upcoming MCU project or will there be Easter eggs in Spider-Man Brand New Day about him?
They acknowledge the rights and timing complexities around Miles Morales, suggesting it's more likely to be revealed gradually as a future development rather than a quick incorporation, possibly as an Easter egg now and a fuller presence later as the character is introduced at an appropriate moment.
Daredevil Reflection with The Newton Brothers (Special Guests)
Q: Is there another composer currently right now that you feel is crushing it and worth fans checking out?
They highlight a mix of fellow modern composers and bands, with note of contemporary electronic and rock-influenced collaborators, underscoring a broad spectrum of inspiration in scoring today.
Daredevil Reflection with The Newton Brothers (Special Guests)
Q: First listener rapid-fire question: which Marvel character or film would be a dream to score a theme for?
The guests suggest X-Men as a natural fit for their style, and they playfully discuss the potential yet acknowledge the practical limits of crossovers, while affirming their openness to scoring big, iconic moments in the MCU.
Daredevil: Born Again - Episode 6 - Initial Reactions (spoilers)
Q: Do you think Jessica Jones is here to stay for the end of the season or just a one-off appearance, and how does that affect the broader MCU connections?
We think she's likely here as a bridge to future narratives and potential MCU crossovers, with the cameo feeling purposeful but not overexposed, suggesting there may be a larger plan rather than a gratuitous cameo.
[special guest] David Marquez (Uncanny X-Men, Invincible Iron Man, Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man)
Q: Are you going to keep writing after The Unchosen?
I'm actively writing stuff right now for people, but it's different doing it work for hire versus for myself.
