Marvel Phase One | Survivor: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes vs. Villains

Marvel Phase One | Survivor: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes vs. Villains

The Marvel Cinematic Universe rewatch is here! Josh Wigler (@roundhoward) and Kevin Mahadeo (@KevMahadeo) have launched “Everything is Super,” a new superhero and comic book focused podcast on Post Show Recaps, beginning with a full deep dive into the MCU.

For the next several weeks, Josh and Kevin will focus on a different film from the MCU, in release order. Before moving on to Phase Two, Josh and Kevin welcome LOST: Down the Hatch co-host Mike Bloom (@AMikeBloomType) to the podcast for a game of “Survivor: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes vs. Villains,” a Brant Steele simulation pitting the best of the best and the worst of the worst from Phase One against each other. It’s one last farewell to folks like Ivan Vanko, Justin Hammer and Levi the Leviathan (???) as we move onto the next phase.

Check out the video of the BrantSteele simulation here: “Survivor: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes vs. Villains” Video.

Check out the BrantSteele simulation on your own here: “Survivor: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes vs. Villains” Simulation.

Coming next: Iron Man 3. Send your feedback for the recap by no later than May 25 by e-mailing super@postshowrecaps.com.
