Bill vs. The MCU: The Defenders Saga II - Jessica Jones S1

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, Alex and Bill are continuing the multiversal phase of
their podcast by checking in on 2015’s Jessica Jones S1. They
praise Krysten Ritter’s star-making turn as the titular Jessica
Jones and the insidiously evil performance by everyone’s favorite
Doctor, David Tennant. They also debate the merits of the Will
Simpson character and just who’s to blame for him sucking so
hard, whether we needed to learn that much about Jeri Hogarth’s
divorce, and which of Jessica’s days was the very worst day of
them all.


They are also joined by special guest Tori
Preston, Managing Editor of Pajiba.com
and host of their TV Podcast Podjiba, to help
understand the cultural context around the series when it first
debuted, how well its emotional and sexual abuse storylines hold
up post #MeToo, and what went wrong with those last two seasons
of the series.


Alex and Bill also unveil their new 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’ll be reviewing
Daredevil S2


Jessica Jones S1 and
Daredevil S2 are available to stream
on Disney+.
