Episode 206: VisionQuest Deep Dive (Ep 3 & 4)

October 26, 2026 by Kurt Onstad

Time for a bird hunt. But, in this case, the bird is more hunter than the hunted. Butcherbird’s true name is revealed, with a connection to Vision and Ultron’s comic book histories. Also, DUM-E and U get voices, and other surprises along the way as we reach the halfway point in our VisionQuest.

The comic book version of our Butcherbird…aka Jocasta!

The Marvel Comics version of the Vision Family Tree. Jocasta and Wasp should actually be on here and connected to Ultron and Ant-Man respectively, as well as to each other.

It’s complicated.

Episode 205: VisionQuest Deep Dive (Ep 1 & 2)

October 20, 2026 by Kurt Onstad

He joined me for WandaVision and for Agatha All Along, so it only makes sense I invite friend Joel Levitz back to discuss the show VisionQuest. We do a Deep Dive into the plot, the mysteries, and the philosophy underpinning all of that in this long podcast dedicated to the first two episodes of the Disney+ show.

Comic accurate Paladin. How do you think the show did in its translation?

Episode 203: Lanterns Deep Dive (Ep 7)

October 04, 2026 by Kurt Onstad

We name a few suspects in the murder of Hal Jordan, including Hal himself. Do we guess right? And also, what’s that yellow glow coming from down deep in the planet? Hear my theories in the penultimate Deep Dive of Lanterns with guest Woody Gaertner.

We don’t see him in the uniform this episode, but you never know what’s coming up…

Episode 202: Lanterns Deep Dive (Ep 6)

September 27, 2026 by Kurt Onstad

Death of a Lantern. We dive into the mystery of who killed Hal Jordan, starting with a revelation about John and Hal meeting the night of the murder. We investigate all the clues, including meeting some new characters and an old…favorite? Well, let’s just say people have strong opinions both ways about this Guy.

This is the kind of funeral Hal thought he was getting (obviously not exactly the same, since Hal is one of the pallbearers in this one).

Episode 201: Lanterns Deep Dive (Ep 5)

September 20, 2026 by Kurt Onstad

This mid-season episode felt like a season finale, with a massive battle in and for the town of Rushville. Guest Woody Gaertner and I have a lot to say, discussing not only this episode, but where things might go from here.

Doesn’t look like we’ll ever get a scene like this in the show…

This one, on the other hand, is fairly similar to a scene in this very episode.

Episode 200: Lanterns Deep Dive (Ep 4)

September 13, 2026 by Kurt Onstad

Who Hunts the Manhunters? The Green Lanterns, of course! We reveal the mystery of who the Manhunter is this episode, but more questions are asked than answered in the halfway point of this Lanterns Deep Dive.

Who in the show is secretly one of these monstrosities? The answer…probably won’t surprise you, if you’ve been following online discussions.

Episode 198: Lanterns Deep Dive (Ep 2)

August 30, 2026 by Kurt Onstad

Continuing the Lanterns Deep Dive with my guest Woody Gaertner, we discuss Manhunters, Kanes, Mogo, and Sinestro. Find out the significance of all of those and more by taking a listen to this latest episode!

“No man escapes…the Manhunters” (Be prepared to hear that multiple times this series)

Well, look, maybe he does occasionally socialize, but it’s rare.

Any relation, Sheriff? (Probably not, but it’s fun to theorize)

Episode 197: Lanterns Deep Dive (Ep 1)

August 23, 2026 by Kurt Onstad

Welcome Back to Welcome to Geektown! We return with a Deep Dive into the DC show Lanterns, currently airing on HBO. This first episode gives us mysteries aplenty, as well as the opportunity to discuss lots of comic book history. Take a listen!

Wake up, Junior.

Episode 194: Agatha All Along Deep Dive (Ep 9 and Final Thoughts)

November 10, 2024 by Kurt Onstad

Anne (who helped me discuss both seasons of Loki) fills in for Joel on this final Deep Dive on Agatha All Along. We discuss the final episode, which fills in quite a bit of the past, and discuss what it means for the future; of these characters and their place in the MCU.

You couldn’t have had her say she’s been “Agatha All Along”?

Episode 193: Agatha All Along Deep Dive (Ep 8)

November 03, 2024 by Kurt Onstad

The final two episodes of Agatha All Along were released at once, but my conversation with Anne (filling in for Joel) was too long to put out in one go, so this is the penultimate discussion. Secrets galore are uncovered and we get a fight to the death…with Death.

Last episode I mentioned the “half-skull/half-flesh” face look for Death. Here’s one example.

Episode 192: Agatha All Along Deep Dive (Ep 7)

October 27, 2024 by Kurt Onstad

It’s Episode 7 of 9, but the Voyage is All Along the Witches Road! Joel and I continue our Deep Dive on the latest MCU show, with quite a bit of discussion on Tarot thanks to some extra expertise from friend of the show Johnnie Breen.

Of course, after the podcast was recorded, they announced an official Tarot deck that you can pre-order now.

Episode 191: Agatha All Along Deep Dive (Ep 6)

October 20, 2024 by Kurt Onstad

Well, hello there, Billy! It’s (mostly) a flashback episode, where we fill in a lot of the gaps of how we got to where we are with Teen (aka William Kaplan, aka Billy Maximoff, aka Wiccan). Some questions get answered, though others are asked, as Joel and I continue our Agatha All Along Deep Dive.

This makes sense as a related image if you’ve seen the episode. Trust me…

Episode 190: Agatha All Along Deep Dive (Ep 5)

October 13, 2024 by Kurt Onstad

We’ve reached the halfway point of Agatha All Along, with some major reveals, and Joel and I have plenty to say about it, as well as a fairly long conversation at the end about our feelings on the MCU in general, post-Endgame. Take a listen and let us know what you think!

Don’t scroll down until you’ve watched the show, otherwise you’ll learn that this Teen…

…who we all previously saw in Wandavision.

Episode 189: Agatha All Along Deep Dive (Ep 4)

October 06, 2024 by Kurt Onstad

We may have lost Mrs. Hart (Sharon!), but we’re continuing to talk about the rest of the coven in our Deep Dive of Agatha All Along. Hear Joel and Kurt’s theories about who Teen and Rio really are, and their relationships to the title character, plus some musical talk from a recurring contributor.

Some of the people we think inspired their second trial outfits, including Agatha’s…

Episode 188: Agatha All Along Deep Dive (Ep 3)

September 29, 2024 by Kurt Onstad

We’re moving on down the road in Episode 3 of Agatha All Along. As the coven faces their first trial, Joel and Kurt are surprised to discover an old name get mentioned that they had relegated to the dead theory pile at the end of WandaVision.

Episode 187: Agatha All Along Deep Dive (Ep 1 & 2)

September 22, 2024 by Kurt Onstad

We begin the Agatha All Along Deep Dive with a double episode dose of witchy goodness. There are many questions raised to theorize on, and tons of new characters to discuss and compare to their Marvel Comics counterparts. Take a listen, and then let us know your thoughts!

I mentioned it on the show twice, so I figured I should link it as well.

The comic versions of our new coven: Lilia Calderu…

and Alice Wu-Gulliver (or Alice Gulliver, whose title is “The Wu”)

Episode 186: Who Has Agatha Been All Along? (Deep Dive Prequel)

September 15, 2024 by Kurt Onstad

Since the next few weeks will be devoted to a Deep Dive of the Agatha All Along show, I thought it would be a good idea to edit together some of the thoughts Joel and I had about Agnes/Agatha as she appeared in WandaVision, along with a comparison to her comic book counterpart, edited together from the WandaVision Deep Dive.

Wait, it was who?

Episode 169: Loki - A Deep Dive (Season 2, Episode 6)

November 12, 2023 by Kurt Onstad

Loki Season 2 comes to a climax as one of the most complex and well-performed characters gets a very fitting ending (it appears), and my guest Anne and I get into every detail along the way, as we discuss the writing, direction, costuming, and other choices made and how they impact the story as a whole.

Episode 168: Loki - A Deep Dive (Season 2, Episode 5)

November 05, 2023 by Kurt Onstad

It’s the penultimate episode of Loki Season 2, and Anne and I have quite a bit to discuss, from the gorgeous camerawork to the rise of the God of Stories. Take a listen, and let us know what you think!

I have a feeling we’ll be hearing this line from Tom Hiddleston’s mouth soon.

Episode 167: Loki - A Deep Dive (Season 2, Episode 4)

October 29, 2023 by Kurt Onstad

Continuing our Deep Dive on the second season of Loki, we’ve reached Episode 4. But with that ending, is it the last episode? No, but we’ll discuss our theories on what happens this episode, see where theories went right or wrong from past episodes, and what happens next.

In the episode, we discuss some Soviet-era mosaics and specifically mention a website to view some of them. Said website can be found here.
