Marvel Zombies
Disney+’s Marvel Zombies spins the “What If… Zombies?!” timeline into a full-season undead romp. Five years after the outbreak, Kamala Khan teams up with Kate Bishop, Ironheart, and an AI-Natalie stuffed bear for a road trip through a Z-soaked MCU. Between Zemo’s floating fortress, a trap at New Asgard, and a Nova Corps quarantine that turns Earth into a snow globe, we break down the big swings (Wanda as zombie queen, the Infinity Hulk showdown), the best gags and grisliest deaths, and cameos. Then we get into what works (pacing, creative kills, improved humor) and what doesn’t (plot holes, certain sacrifices, and that cliffhanger after being billed as a miniseries).Is this snackable apocalypse worth your time—or just franchise leftovers? Tune in for our recap, comparisons, trivia, and final rating.Welcome to Today’s Episode!

From a sus “suicide” to dodging neo-Nazi haymakers, we break down what worked, what didn’t, our favorite moments, and how it connects (and doesn’t) to Reservation Dogs. Shout-outs to the acting, some Tulsa texture, and a bunch of quick comparisons (ex: Fargo, The Nice Guys, Bored to Death). Welcome to Today's Episode!
Black Rabbit (PILOT)
Though this miniseries may have taken the fact it's a dark comedy with the title Black Rabbit a little too literally, judging by the lack of lighting, Netflix’s latest is an intriguing blend of restaurant drama, heist thriller, and thorny family saga.
