Friends From Work: An Unofficial Marvel Podcast

Both of us felt like VisionQuest episodes 5 and 6 were a step up in what is already a great show. This is becoming some of Marvel's best television and we are HERE for it.

You know the drill. What worked and what didn't? How is this going to impact the MCU? What do our listeners think of the series thus far? How would we rank these episodes?

Be sure to tune in the next couple of weeks as we discuss how Terry and the crew land the plane on VisionQuest. After that, we look forward to Avengers: Doomsday.

Higher. Further. Faster. Together.
