Cap's back! And once again, your Planet 8 crew dutifully trudged into the theater to check out this latest entry in the MCU. We'll give you our honest, spoiler-filled opinions on the film.

It's inevitable when discussing a new Marvel offering that speculation about upcoming features occur, and Fantastic Four, Daredevil, Thunderbolts, and more also enter our discussion.

It's amazing to think that this all started with Iron Man (2008) 17 years ago! The MCU has had its ups and downs lately, but it still draws us back over and over again. Let us know how you felt about this new Captain America film, and what MCU project you're looking forward to.

Our Sensor Sweep this time was all over the map. Bob shared a new book on The Mighty Heroes -raise your hand if you remember them! He also had a new Iron Giant figure from Super 7 that has removeable plates that let you see the inner workings of this giant robot. Karen recently appeared on our friend BillyD's great podcast, Magazines and Monsters, discussing the Star Trek episode Balance of Terror! You can find Magazines and Monsters on your favorite podcast ap, or follow this link to go straight to the episode. She had a fantastic time talking about her favorite Trek episode with Billy.

Finally, our Mission Commander Larry is back from Australia and shares some stories about his trip, including a visit to Minotaur Comics in Melbourne! It was an impressive shop.

That's it for us. Thanks for tuning in!
