Y. M. Nelson and guests Marcie and Staci talk about the Marvel TV series Ironheart. All of us had something to say about Riri Williams and her status as a legacy hero. And in light of the censorship and extortion of Jimmy Kimmel, what I say about a certain media company's IP is particularly relevant right now.
Topics discussed:
- How we found the show and the controversy around that
- Rotten Tomatoes Review bombing
- Are we "Marvel-ed out"?
- Tech mixes with magic
- Riri Williams was annoying
- N.A.T.A.L.I.E. - friend, foe, or Terminator?
- Has Riri changed since Wakanda Forever?
- Why the "Ironheart is bad" argument doesn't work

Marcie, Staci and host Y. M. Nelson continue their discussion of Star Trek Section 31. They analyze other characters, talk about the show's future, and give this one a Goodreads rating.
This action-packed movie follows Emperor Georgiou as she joins the secretive Section 31, a covert division tasked with doing Starfleet's "dirty work"—all while facing the ghosts of her past. But does it merit a series or even a sequel?
We discuss:
🌌 Pan and Philippa's relationship
📍 The Cast of Characters: what do we think?
⭐ Final verdict – We rate it using the Goodreads star system!
🔮 Bonus: A couple of Easter Eggs

Is Star Trek: Section 31 a must-watch sci-fi movie or a Trek spin-off flop? 🤔 In this episode, host Y. M. Nelson and guest cohosts Marcie and Staci give their honest review of this highly anticipated Star Trek film starring Michelle Yeoh as Emperor Philippa Georgiou. WARNING: This episode is full of spoilers!
This action-packed movie follows Georgiou as she joins the secretive Section 31, a covert Starfleet division tasked with protecting the United Federation of Planets—all while facing the ghosts of her past. But does it live up to the hype?
We discuss:
🖖 Michelle Yeoh’s performance – Does she steal the show?
🚀 The story pacing – Engaging or uneven and too fast?
🌌 The ensemble cast – Standouts and weak links
🔮 Future predictions – Where could the story go next?

We talked about:
- What we liked about the relationships between the characters
- Why Queen Charlotte is, so far, better than Bridgerton
- Shonda Rhimes storytelling technique and signature touches
- Our Goodreads rating for the series

I say tackle, because if you've been following the series (and the books), the "you" in YOU has been an love interest that main character Joe Goldberg obsesses over. This season the "you" is someone totally different. If you've watched the season (or if you just want to get our take on it), check out what we thought about the way YOU, Season 4 turned out.
