27. Moon Knight 1x1, ”The Goldfish Problem”

Fresh off their Loki bonus run, John and Danielle tackle a new MCU series, Moon Knight. Danielle is still (sort-of) in the MCU driver’s seat, with John bringing his more "critical" eye to the project. Together, they consider Steven Grant’s role as storyteller, Egyptian cosmology and the broader colonialist vibes of the property, and whether this is a successful first ep of a series (read: will John enjoy this more of less than Loki?). They bring back some of their regular MCU segments, change up the Easter Egg hunt a bit, and hang with Deleuze and Guattari in the Cave. Of course, there’s some Oscar Isaac/Ethan Hawke talk, and some bonus theory-chat sprinkled in too.
