About this listen

This show is about movies, but it’s really about conversation. We dig into films we love, films we argue about, and films that land differently depending on who’s watching. We compare opinions, challenge each other, and disagree without turning it into a fight. Liking different things doesn’t make anyone wrong, it just makes the conversation better. If you enjoy thoughtful debate, strong opinions, and the idea that fandom should bring people together instead of pushing them apart, you’re in the right place.

  • Captain America The Winter Soldier Part 1 | The MCU’s Political Thriller Masterpiece
    Feb 18 2026

    In Part 1 of our deep dive into Captain America The Winter Soldier, we jump into what might be the most grounded and intense entry in the MCU.

    From the unforgettable “On your left” opening to the brutal Nick Fury car chase, we break down why this film feels less like a superhero movie and more like a full blown political thriller. We talk about the Hydra infiltration twist, the uneasy “don’t trust anyone” tension, and why the SHIELD reveal still hits hard more than a decade later.

    We dig into Steve Rogers’ evolving morality, the return of Bucky Barnes as the Winter Soldier, and why that reveal works so well, especially for non comic readers. There’s also plenty of love for Natasha Romanoff’s expanded role, Falcon’s introduction, Robert Redford’s perfectly cast villain, and that chilling Zola scene that flips the entire story on its head.

    Is this the MCU’s Dark Knight? Does it hold up even more in today’s world? And is this actually the best Captain America movie?

  • Thor: The Dark World | Underrated Setup or MCU Flyover Movie?
    Feb 11 2026

    In this episode of Psyber Conversations, the crew takes a long, honest look at Thor: The Dark World, the MCU entry that almost everyone agrees is… complicated.

    Rewatching it years later, the group debates whether this sequel is unfairly dismissed or exactly as forgettable as its reputation suggests. They dig into why Malekith never quite lands as a villain, why Loki steals the spotlight yet again, and why some of the movie’s biggest moments, including Frigga’s death, feel strangely underplayed. There’s plenty of discussion around the Dark Elves, Norse mythology versus sci-fi logic, the uneven tone, and how much of this film exists mainly to move Infinity Stones around the board.

    Along the way, the conversation hits on Thor’s stalled character arc, Jane Foster’s role as a plot device, the Earth scenes that feel shoehorned in, and the mid-credits reveal that quietly shaped the entire Infinity Saga. Is this a misunderstood setup film, a necessary bridge to bigger stories, or the MCU’s ultimate flyover movie?

    Love it, skip it, or tolerate it on rewatch, Thor: The Dark World sparks more debate than its reputation suggests.

  • Iron Man 3 Part 2 | Extremis, Anxiety, and Why Tony Blows It All Up
    Feb 4 2026

    In Part 2 of our Iron Man 3 conversation, we move past the explosions and into what the movie is really doing, breaking down Extremis, Aldrich Killian, and why this film might be Marvel’s most honest character study. We dig into Tony Stark’s panic attacks, his relationship with technology, and why this is a Tony Stark movie more than an Iron Man one.

    The discussion covers the Mandarin twist, Harley’s underrated role in Tony’s growth, Rhodey’s Iron Patriot era, and the idea that Iron Man was never the suit to begin with. We also debate whether this film has aged better over time, how Shane Black grounded the story, and why blowing up all the suits actually makes thematic sense. Sharp takes, disagreement, and a few unexpected tangents included, because of course they are.

    🎙️ Psyber Conversations is where it’s okay to agree to disagree, especially when it comes to the MCU.
