Jon and Remy dust off another Snarklet from The Marvel Super Heroes, and this time the Hulk comes out noticeably greener. Rick Jones steers the big guy away from the shooting, only for the alien Toad Men to snatch Banner and Rick from beneath the earth with force fields that showed up a few scenes late. Captain Torrak hauls them aboard his ship, Rick gets yeeted back to Earth in a space cylinder, and...

Peggy Carter is finally on the wrong side of the interrogation table, and Jon and Remy are here for every minute of it. The SSR's revolving door of questioning serves up a good cop, a bad cop and a.. confused cop, all while Dr. Ivchenko lurks in the chief's office pulling strings and Peggy stonewalls the very men she spent weeks winning over. Jarvis charms his way past the phone company front with a "...

Peggy Carter sits in SSR custody, facing a rotating interrogation from Daniel Sousa, Jack Thompson and Chief Roger Dooley. She refuses to explain her ties to Howard Stark or the orb in their possession, which secretly holds a vial of Steve Rogers' blood. Dr. Ivchenko lingers in Dooley's office, quietly steering the chief's suspicions. Edwin Jarvis bluffs his way into the SSR with a signed confession from Howard Stark and offers a deal for...

Jon and Remy dust off another Snarklet from 1966's The Marvel Super Heroes, where the death of Tony Stark arrives remarkably early in his career. Pepper and Happy have Iron Man pegged as the man blackmailing their boss, so Tony shoos them out and suits up just as the Mandarin, ten rings and all, hijacks a satellite and fires a long-distance beam that levels the very room Tony was standing in. With no body...

Jon and Remy dig into Agent Carter Season 1, Episode 6, "A Sin to Err," an episode that runs two threads side by side before slamming them together at the finish line. At the SSR, the rescued Dr. Ivchenko plays part scientist, part therapist to Chief Dooley, reading the man's crumbling marriage off a face-down photo and a toothbrush on his desk, while across the street Dottie dispatches a handsy dentist and lines up a rifle...

With Dr. Ivchenko tucked safely inside SSR headquarters, Chief Dooley leans on the Soviet scientist for answers, never suspecting the man across his desk is the one pulling the strings. Across the street, Dottie Underwood talks her way into a dentist's office, kills the lecherous dentist, and trains a rifle on Dooley's window, only for Ivchenko to open it and tap out coded orders in Morse. Peggy and Jarvis, convinced the woman framing Howard...

Jon and Remy dust off another 1966 relic from The Marvel Super Heroes, and this Captain America outing may be the wildest yet. The Red Skull, stabbing a knife into the table and pointing at a map of what appears to be open ocean, sends a spy into a POW camp. A prisoner gets shot mid-escape, the spy takes his seat on the supply truck, and a suspicious stick tucked in an armpit turns out...

Jon kicks things off by walking back through the Red Room flashback, a deeply unnerving stretch of bare-knuckle sparring, girls handcuffed to their beds, and a classroom reciting Snow White word for word. From there it's Dottie palming Peggy's keys right under the nose of our resident super spy, Peggy cracking the Leviathan cipher in about thirty seconds flat, and a mission to arrest Howard Stark that lands her in the men's locker room...

In 1937, a Soviet academy trains young girls to kill, chaining them to their beds each night and teaching them English through Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. A sparring match between two friends ends with one snapping the other's neck. Nine years later, that killer lives next door to Peggy Carter as the sweet and curious Dottie Underwood. Over breakfast at the L&L Automat, Dottie knocks Peggy's purse to the floor and quietly...

The Snarklet that finally broke Jon and Remy's streak with these vintage segments, and not in a fun way. We open on Prince Namor laid low by a mysterious illness in Atlantis and dosed with a sleeping drug, only for the ailing prince to slip off to the surface world on some unexplained urge, pass out, and deck a cop who makes the mistake of drawing a gun on him. Amnesiac and mostly undressed...

Snark Industries breaks down the fourth Agent Carter chapter, an episode juggling several arcs at once. The full plot gets run down: from Jarvis and Peggy recovering a smuggled Howard Stark from a rail car, to the women's-hotel dumbwaiter caper, to the camera-pin inventory run at the SSR, and on to the reveal that the so-called Blitzkrieg Button holds not a blackout device but a vial of Steve Rogers' blood, a lie Peggy catches...

Howard hands Peggy a camera pin to inventory...

A Snarklet trip to Asgard for the Mighty Thor block of The Marvel Super Heroes, three chapter titles that spell out the whole plot before it even starts and get reacted to in real time. The hosts talk through it as it plays, from a leaf-in-the-eye that dupes Heimdall, to a Thor who spins Mjolnir like a dreidel and reverses atoms with anti-magic particles.. Then, there's Loki, whose ever-shifting powers include mind control, transforms...

New York, 1946. Peggy pores over books of symbols trying to identify the mark a dying Leviathan agent left behind, all while settling into a strict women's residence where a late-night visitor and a roommate's expulsion spark a realization: no place is truly impenetrable, including Howard Stark's robbed vault. Before she can act on it, the SSR pulls Jarvis in over the license plate found in the refinery wreckage, pressing him about a dishonorable discharge...

A Snarklet plunge into the Hulk block of The Marvel Super Heroes, reacted to in real time and, by the hosts' own repeated verdict, the most incoherent thing they have watched on the show so far. They talk through the whole disjointed run as it plays, from a gamma bomb test where Igor pushes the button anyway, to Rick Jones somehow surviving unirradiated, to a Hulk who bunny-hops, changes pants mid-scene, and speaks in...

New York, 1946. In the immediate aftermath of the refinery explosion, Peggy Carter races to recover the truck of Stark's stolen singularity bombs before anyone connects the blast to her.

A Snarklet trip back to 1966 for the Captain America chapter of The Marvel Super Heroes, three loosely connected segments watched and reacted to in real time. The hosts talk through the whole disjointed run as it plays.

Snark Industries digs into the What If...? series opener, the story that pivots the First Avenger arc on a single choice: Peggy stays on the lab floor. Because of this; Kruger strikes early, Steve is shot before he can enter the chamber, and Peggy takes the serum instead. The full plot gets walked through, from the Hydra Stomper armor Howard Stark builds once the Tesseract is recovered early, to the train trap that presumably...

The first Snarklet, Snark Industries' format for shorter, harder-to-find Marvel media that rolls the watch party and deep dive into a single episode.

Snark Industries hits its first feature film with Captain America: The First Avenger, and both hosts come in adoring it. The full plot gets walked through, from the plane in the ice to scrawny Steve's rejected enlistments, Erskine's serum, the Hydra assassin, the bond-tour detour, the rescue of the 107th, and the crash that puts Steve on ice until a not-quite-right baseball game gives the present away. The comic roots get their due, with...
