It's 3pm on Sunday afternoon, so you know what that means! It's time to watch one of the Lawrence brothers get superpowers and then use them to throw an awesome house party to impress the Popular Girl in the latest Disney Channel Original Movie.

Today we are rewriting some of the more classic DCOMs with Marvel characters. Presenting for your ear pleasure: The 13th Year starring Namor, Gamora: Girl of the 21st Century, and a version of Smart House where Katey Segal is swapped out with Ultron.

FLAVOR TEXT: Marvel Secret Wars

in , , ,

Do you think the people at Marvel back in the 80s would ever have thought that their one-off concept of "make everyone fight each other on an alien planet" would go on to be the single most important thing to happen in the Marvel universe? And that this one storyline would be the thing that retconned, redefined, and completely undid multiple series more than 15 years in the making? This week's FLAVOR TEXT is giving you the entire Secret Wars saga, a notorious storyline that started as a flimsy excuse to sell more toys to being the actual most ambitious crossover event in Marvel history.

**HUGE MASSIVE SPOILER WARNING FOR AVENGERS: ENDGAME**

The release of Avengers: Endgame marks the end of an 11-year saga. A saga which, quite frankly, many of us thought would never actually work out. But much like our 20s (excluding Matt), the Avengers saga is done, and we are now left only with one underlying question: What happens now? The boys spend their time sharing their thoughts about what’s next for the MCU, as well as impressions and hot takes after seeing the movie.
