Episode 38: Our full series review of She-Hulk on Disney+

We’re thrilled to finally record some of our thoughts about the full She-Hulk series on Disney+, where we discuss such questions like: Did Marvel Studios crack the code on the MCU sitcom? Is Tatiana Maslany one of the top 5 castings of Phase 4? And is Daredevil’s first full appearance in a MCU property worth the wait? Listen to the episode and find out!

SHOW NOTES

The time has finally come for another D+ series review pod, but this one is extra special as it’s been one of our most anticipated MCU projects given its distinction as the series that relaunches Daredevil in MCU TV. Phyllis, Rhiannon, and Shelby gather on a late October morning to review, discuss and dissect all the details of the show, from She-Hulk’s place in fandom discourse, to whether Daredevil’s much-lauded appearance met our expectations (spoiler alert: it did).
