34:23 Surprise Question: Sidekicks!

Who’s enjoying Moon Knight so far?! Is it easier to just sit back and enjoy something when you don’t have the burden of canonical knowledge??? Maybeeee. However, so far there’s no “Baby Yoda Moment”. 

How do we think the pilot of Moon Knight stacks up to other MCU shows? Is it similar to WandaVision? Every episode, Lorelei has to remind me that this isn’t a WandaVision podcast…

As we’re transitioning more into Phase 4, how do we feel about Moon Knight not being connected to the bigger MCU? Does that give anything or take anything away? As the MCU progresses is this how they tell new stories without it feeling “Phase I”?

How’s Oscar Isaac doing, navigating playing multiple roles, here? Are we enjoying his performances? Are they believable? Steven feels like such a character and Isaac is bringing such comedy but also shows the incredible burden that this character is sustaining. But also,

DON’T GIVE UP ON LOVE, Stephen!

What do we think of all the CGI and the Suit(s)? I love a great Superhero suit - and both of these are great. But does all the CGI make Khonshu look like a Disneyland character? Do the visual effects matter as much if the story is great?

Surprise Question: What Superhero would you want to be the sidekick to??? Let us know you answer! And let us know your thoughts on Moon Knight so far!
