An Easter egg from the vault as we discuss a slew of then-recent Superhero sequels; Incredibles 2, Deadpool 2, Avengers: Infinity War and Ant-Man and the Wasp, as well as theorising on the future of Marvel and DC fare.

Serge joins us as our first guest on the show. We discuss The Incredibles movies and how the sequel differs, its focus on superhero teamwork, villain misdirect, the levels of humour for a young and adult audience and the ever-popular Jack-Jack.

For Deadpool 2 we talk about the charm of Ryan Reynolds, the marketing mislead around X-Force, the tonal shifts throughout, Vanessa being fridged, Cable dropping the C-bomb, and the future of the franchise under Disney.

It's been over 20 movies of build-up, does Avengers: Infinity War live up to the hype? We talk about the connective tissue of Age of Ultron and Civil War especially, superhero fatigue, the various team up pairings, our thoughts on Avengers 4 (we still didn't know the Endgame title back then!) and how many of the character deaths may be permanent.

Still in the MCU we talk about Ant-Man and the Wasp. The nature of the quantum realm and its narrative importance, the charm of Paul Rudd, Antz vs A Bug's Life, the comedic success of this series, villains and the introduction of The Wasp.

Finally, we discuss a number of trailers for upcoming superhero/comic book fare from Marvel, DC and others. As well as a brief discussion on the surprise sequel reveal from the end of Split and what that means for Glass.
