Today, the Kicking the Seat Podcast re-unites Earth's Mightiest Critics for a look at one of the year's most anticipated and controversial films, Captain Marvel! David Fowlie of Keeping it Reel, Emmanuel Noisette of Eman's Movie Reviews, and Don Shanahan of Every Movie Has a Lesson join Ian for an in-depth look at the character's problematic four-color origins; the online battleground surrounding the film's marketing and star Brie Larson's remarks to the press; and how Marvel's first female-driven comic-book blockbuster stacks up in the decade-long mega-franchise.
