The Re-Watcher's Council is the podcast for MCU fans who aren't just watching — they're rewatching.

Every Disney+ series. Every post-credits scene worth obsessing over. This isn't a recap show. It's a deep dive — into villain arcs and emotional journeys, connective tissue and callbacks, the moments that hit differently the second (or fifth) time around.
