Bill vs. The MCU: The Defenders Saga V - The Defenders

Hello and welcome to Bill vs the MCU! Each month your
hosts⁠⁠ Pop Break Podcasts Editor Alex Marcus⁠⁠
and⁠⁠ Pop Break Editor in Chief Bill Bodkin⁠⁠
take another step into the wider Marvel Multiverse, with reviews
and interviews on the film and television series that may be
drawn upon as the MCU dives deeper and deeper into its Multiverse
Saga.


After completing their twelve month rewatch of the Marvel
Cinematic Universe, Alex and Bill are fully embracing the ethos
of the MCU’s Multiverse Saga with miniseries devoted to all the
MCU-adjacent material out there. Currently, the pair are taking a
guided tour of the Netflix Defenders-verse, featuring reviews of
select seasons of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage, along
with this universe’s crossover event The Defenders.


This month, it’s time for the final installment of Bill &
Alex’s coverage of The Defenders Saga as they travel back to
August of 2017 to see how the first phase of this entire
Defenders experiment came together with the eight part
miniseries: The Defenders. 


To help us celebrate the finale of this season of Bill vs. The
MCU, we have invited ⁠WatchMojo’s⁠
⁠Derick McDuff⁠ on to the pod. He is currently
the host of the film podcast ⁠Underrated⁠, where
he and his co-hosts discuss underrated films, but he also is the
host of an MCU-review podcast called ⁠Infinity Stones and
Dragon Bones⁠, where he has been keeping up with new
installments of Marvel TV and Film since 2018. We’ll get into his
experience covering both sides of Marvel and why he chose to
invoke the big McGuffin of The Defenders in his show's title.


Alex and Bill also discuss The Marvels’ trailer, Guardians vol. 3
box office, Blade’s delays, Coven of Chaos’ leaks, and more in a
new edition of their monthly segment Miss Minutes Marvel Memo,
where they try to cram in a month’s of MCU headlines in five
minutes!


Don’t forget to come back next month when we check back in on the
MCU with featured reviews of Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania
and Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3 and take a temperature check
on the MCU Phase V, six months on.


The Defenders is available to stream on⁠⁠
Disney+⁠⁠.
