The Contrarians99 - Avengers: Endgame

Let’s start 2020 by tackling the biggest movie of 2019! AVENGERS: ENDGAME is like the rich bully at the playground, walking around like they’re the greatest thing ever, making up their own rules to every game and refusing to stop even after everyone else has had enough and is crying. Listen to Alex and Julio poke fun at the MCU’s temporary climax before they engage in the longest and most divisive Real Talk yet!

PLUGS!

- If you want to see The Black Widow and Kylo Ren break each other’s hearts, Julio can’t recommend MARRIAGE STORY enough. Also, if you like superheroes, you should check ASTRO CITY out.

- Alex and Julio both heartily endorse 1BR if you’re into creepy thrillers. Thanks, Other Worlds Film Festival!

- If you love Endgame and love the craft of storytelling, you should check out DRAFT ZERO’s ENDGAME ANALYSIS (with Julio as a guest).

- Hans Rothgiesser, the man behind our logo, can be reached at @mildemonios on Twitter or you can email him at mildemonios@hotmail.com in case you ever need a logo (or comics) produced. And you can listen to him talk about Peruvian politics on his own podcast, NACION COMBI. Aaaaand you can also check out all the stuff he’s written on his own website. Don’t know Spanish? He also did a podcast in English called LIVING IN PERU, about immigrants in - where else - Perú.

Up next, we celebrate our 100th episode by crossing another biggie off our list: WATCHMEN! Until then, let us know how you like AVENGERS: ENDGAME! Was it too much noise for too little payoff? Can it really compare to Wrestlemania 30? Do you think Scorsese would at least tear-up during that scene with Thor and his mom?
