📅 Release Date: May 2, 2025

💥 Episode Summary: In this episode, Lori dives headfirst into the morally murky, emotionally layered world of Marvel’s Thunderbolts. Forget the headlines calling them the “Discount Avengers” — Lori is here to unpack why this movie might just be one of the most underrated gems in the MCU. From tortured anti-heroes to unexpected character depth, Thunderbolts brings more than just explosions and sarcasm (though don’t worry, there’s plenty of both).

Though we eventually get into spoilers, the early portion of this episode is spoiler free so everyone, whether you have seen it or not, can get a review of the film. Spoilers happen later with plenty of time for you to leave or stay as you wish.
