It was a big week for Marvel's Cinematic Universe this week, as the first two episodes of the limited series Agent Carter debuted on Tuesday. So we spend some time talking about that episode, its themes of sexism, how its mid-40s setting is a blessing and an opportunity, and how an obscure comic from 1942 might hold some secrets about the series.

Agent Carter also featured the debut of the first teaser trailer for Marvel's Ant-Man movie. We've made no secret that we're looking far less forward to this movie now that Edgar Wright is no longer directing, so we talk about whether this trailer changes our mind at all. Short answer: watch the trailer with no audio, and see if it doesn't look like a prison flick with Paul Rudd as a convicted child predator and Michael Douglas as his lovesick warden.

We also discuss:

Ant-Man #1, written by Nick Spencer with art by Ramon Rosanas, and:
The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #1, written by Ryan North with art by Erica Henderson!

And now the legalese:

We record this show live to tape. While this might mean a looser show than you are used to from most comics podcasts, it also means that anything can happen. Like the definition of "Cream of Swede." It's not what you think! It's far more disgusting!
This show contains spoilers. While we try to shout warnings ahead of time, just assume that we will ruin everything you care about.
This show contains adult, profane language, and is therefore not safe for work. I refer you again to the phrase "Cream of Swede." You're gonna want some headphones.

Enjoy the show, suckers!
