Assembly Required: An MCU Retrospective

For the first time since LOKI began, we finally have Eduardo, Peach3z, Chris, and Robbie all together at once to discuss the newest episode of the Marvel Studios Disney+ series, and do they have a lot of questions! Who's really in charge of the TVA? What caused that nexus event on Lamentis when it looked like the Low-Kai were about to die? And just what was going on in that mid-credits scene? Tune in for some attempts at answers that will probably be disproven by next week!Assembly Required now has a Patreon!

The Loki (pronounced "low-kai", plural) and the Assembly Required gang have found their way into another apocalypse! Join Eduardo, Peach3z, and Robbie as they discuss the third episode of the Marvel studios Disney+ show LOKI, "Lamentis." Are we witnessing legitimate bonding between Loki and Sylvie? Are both victims of the other's scheming? Has Robbie revealed a subtle but brilliant Surveillance Stork, or did he whiff and Nork instead? Tune in to find out!Assembly Required now has a Patreon!

The god(s/esses) of mischief are up to something, and Assembly Required is here to try to make sense of it! Join Peach3z, Chris, Robbie, and special guest Angela as they discuss the second episode of the Marvel studios Disney+ show LOKI, "The Variant." Who is this variant? Whose side is our Loki on? Is the latest Peach3z theory another surveillance stork, or has he uncovered the biggest conspiracy in the Multiverse? Tune in to find out!Assembly Required now has a Patreon!

The wait is over, as Assembly Required begins its weekly deep dive into the new Marvel Studios Disney+ series LOKI! Join Eduardo, Peach3z, and Chris as they take a look at the first episode, "Glorious Purpose." How does it feel to revisit Loki as we last saw him in THE AVENGERS? Just who are these Time-Keepers to say what belongs on the "Sacred Timeline?" Mephisto, is that you??? (No, no it's not.)

It's the moment the Assembly Required crew has been dreading: time to review THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2. Noted series defender Bailey joins Eduardo, Peach3z, and Chris to discuss the 2014 sequel starring Andrew Garfield as ol' webhead. Is it as bad as they remember? Will they be surprised by what they watched? Will you be surprised to hear it? Would you have remembered Electro's birthday? The answers to some of these questions and more await!Assembly Required now has a Patreon!

With the Raimi/Maquire trilogy complete, it's time for Assembly Required to move on to the Webb/Garfield duology with THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN! Eduardo is on vacation, but Angela joins Peach3z, Chris, and Robbie to discuss Sony's first attempt at rebooting the story of Peter Parker. How does it compare to what came before, and what came after? Is it a series cut short before it could truly blossom, or a transparent attempt at holding onto the film rights? Did Curt Connors think he was fooling anyone the way he talked about the Lizard? Tune in to find out!Assembly Required now has a Patreon!

Assembly Required wraps up the trilogy as we take a look at SPIDER-MAN 3! Join Eduardo, Peach3z, Chris, and Robbie as they take a look at the much-maligned 2007 film that wound up being the conclusion to Sam Raimi's take on the character, being rebooted five years later. Is it as bad as its reputation suggests? Better? Worse? Can we all at least agree that its take on Venom left much to be desired? Tune in to find out!Assembly Required now has a Patreon!

We continue our trip to the Sonyverse with SPIDER-MAN 2! Join Eduardo, Peach3z, Chris, and Robbie as they take a look at Sam Raimi's 2004 sequel, a movie that was once widely considered the best comic book movie of all time. How does it hold up today? Would it even be considered the best Spider-Man movie? What makes tritium so precious, anyway? Tune in to find out!Assembly Required now has a Patreon!

As we wait for LOKI to debut on Disney+, we're taking a page out of his book and visiting some alternate universes to discuss the five live action, non-MCU Spider-Man films, starting with the original, 2002's SPIDER-MAN! Eduardo, Peach3z, Chris, and Robbie give it the full Assembly Required treatment as they discuss opening title sequences, over the top villain performances, awkward teenagers, Nickelback, and more!Assembly Required now has a Patreon!

Here it is: the fabled #SpiderCut, the very first recorded episode of Assembly Required! One day in May of 2019, Eduardo, Peach3z, and Robbie got together to record a "prototype" episode as a proof of concept for their new MCU retrospective podcast (the Sound Lord was off on a beach somewhere). Unsure if the episode would ever see the light of day, they decided to practice on one of the biggest non-MCU Marvel movies: 2002's SPIDER-MAN. Come take a trip down memory lane with us with the never-before-heard Assembly Required pilot episode! It's gonna get weird!Assembly Required now has a Patreon!
