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

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.

The branches get much more literal.

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

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)

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.

One particularly appropriate example, in case you don’t have time to click the link above…

Episode 166: Loki - A Deep Dive (Season 2, Episode 3)

The Deep Dive of Season 2 of Loki continues with Guest Anne Valliant.  There is much costume discussion, as well as World’s Fair history, as we look at the episode that takes place almost entirely in the year that it’s named after…1893.

The production team did a great job recreating the Ferris Wheel (actual photo seen here)

Did we get an appearance from Turner D. Century? (Maybe, but probably not…)

Episode 165: Loki - A Deep Dive (Season 2, Episode 2)

Continuing our Deep Dive of Season 2 of Loki.  Guest Anne Valliant returns from Season 1 to join me for this episode as we discuss the little easter eggs, the production design, the costumes, and of course, the plot and character development. The hair flip counter continues, and we learn…Who is The Phone Ranger?

Anne’s reaction is…well, pretty much what you’d expect.

The “Zaniac” as seen in the Marvel Comic Books…

and the movie poster seen early in the episode. Pretty spot on…

Yes kids, McDonald’s used to actually look like that.

Episode 164: Loki - A Deep Dive (Season 2, Episode 1)

We’re starting a new Deep Dive, but it’s our first continuation, as we discuss Season 2 of Loki.  Guest Dennis Riddle joins me for this episode as we discuss the new characters, the new situations, and of course, any comic book connections.  Plus, how many hair flips does Loki do?

Let’s go!

Episode 95: Loki - A Deep Dive (Episode 6)

Kurt and Anne wrap up their conversation on the first season of Loki (Season 2 has already been announced!), including the mysterious power behind the TVA, and how this all feeds in to what is coming up in the next year or two in the MCU.

Other than the hat, you can see a lot of this in “He Who Remains”’s outfit.

I really hope we get the “floating invisible chair” at some point in Kang’s MCU appearances.

Continuing the discussion of "Loki" with special guest Anne V., we dive in and talk all about what makes this show so great, and how it connects to the comics.  And yes, we definitely talk about that mid-credits scene and who all those characters are.

I’ll take “Things I never thought I’d see in the MCU” for $1000.

Episode 92: Loki - A Deep Dive (Episode 3)

Continuing the discussion of the Loki show with special guest Anne V., we dive in deep on all the details we can find, especially as they relate to “Sylvie,” including her comic book connections, and what her actions reveal about the character.  And we talk about the big reveal regarding the TVA and what that means.

Not an exact duplicate, but certainly has some similarities to our Sylvie.

Episode 90: Loki - A Deep Dive (Episode 1)

With the Loki show diving into one of Kurt’s favorite subjects (Time Travel), of course he’s going to dive deep into the show as well, looking at all the comic book connections, and theorizing with his guest, Anne V.  This first episode we discuss the TVA, Mobius, and all the little moments that made the show so much fun.
