[@manzington]

Not sure if you’ve done this yet but you should go back and edit the descriptions of older videos to add the merch! That way if anyone watches an older video before a newer one, they can see the merch!

[@keegannielsen]

Woke up from surgery. very happy to see this notification

[@WallyB.]

I LOVED the ending of Love and Thunder. Thor adopted the child of his enemy, just like Odin did with Loki.

[@chiefinwithwill6058]

I just want to let you two know that your content means a lot to me. I have quite a few mental health issues and when you guys upload it takes me away from my stresses and my reality and makes me feel like a kid again, I don’t want to sound weird but you guys genuinely help me daily and I love yall for it, keep up the hard work keep grinding I can’t wait until y’all’s channel explodes, much love from Massachusetts 🤞🏼

[@Starwarsgeek817]

Thanks for another amazing episode guys!!!! And the merch!!! I’ll definitely be getting one of those hoodies!!!! Thanks so much!

[@Reverse_God0807]

Getting to come home relax and watch this, is what makes Mondays even better

[@WallyB.]

I was laughing WAY too hard when Andrew went through all those comments. “You and your malnourished friend” 😂😂😂. I actually agree with that Ahsoka take strongly.

[@MacReacts.]

Andrew: Heres your gift Alex, enjoy! Andrew 16 seconds later: GIMME DAT

[@CRISPYPOP]

True legends have been waiting for this merch drop since January

[@supercamstudios3230]

It was awesome getting to meet you at the Con! Keep up the great content!

[@LeChris89]

My favorite is Hat Man! Should be a superhero!

[@lilyh9955]

YES MERCH! IT ALL LOOKS AWESOME! GREAT JOB!

[@eliasjohansson2195]

The goats!!!So hyped for the merch it looks awsome.Hope you ship it worldwide

[@dwhipart]

Looking sharp boys. Cant wait for the next drop 👀

[@manzington]

To be fair: the part where Tom messes up in that movie is just when he talks during the spell. Him taking the box makes perfect sense, he wants to save the villains.

[@natedogg2815]

1. No Way Home 2. Shang-Chi 3. Eternals 4. Wakanda Forever 5. Love & Thunder 6. Multiverse of Madness 7. Black Widow

[@TylerSmith-np8hk]

Andrew laughing at that comment asking for his name was golden

[@WarEagle-SD]

[@theoffice072]

Alex I want to buy all of the merch but what is one you think I should get

[@Embrr01]

The merch looks so cool I’m probably buying the white T-shirt

[@SilentGaming85]

I could never be more on the separate side of this conversation about Black Panther 2.

[@JacksonNotJaxon]

Eating Trolli gummy worms at 2 am while playing madden and watching the escape pod is very much a vibe. Highly recommend

[@alexfitzpatrick9558]

Omg no way, I was at the Cinci comic con too that’s so cool

[@sachinplayz_]

Hoodie looks so fire🔥🔥🔥

[@aniafernandez-doqui3956]

Falling asleep to you guys has been great, love from Australia P.S if you guys need an extra editor that’s my job so lmk xx

[@manzington]

20:38 this is the funniest thing on the pod in recent memory 😭😭

[@crimson9608]

Copping the hoodie

[@Zottix]

LETS GOOOOOOO (i think the segment should be called “unknown hatred” idk)

[@twitchcactusfv1]

Why does the Finn mcmissile shirt go so hard 🔥🔥🔥

[@braydencooper5726]

I can’t believe I finally agree with hat guy, MJ should not come back

[@CRISPYPOP]

17:12 y’all should call it "mean ones"

[@nayiris5455]

Have you guys watched Gran Turismo? If so I am interested in hearing a review on it!! I thought it was amazing.

[@anastasissympas]

Great episode as always! P.S. Put the merch in your channels description

[@ethyntouchton6401]

got 5 seconds into the video and instantly went and bought a hoodie 😂

[@ichristiantorres1448]

Love the merch and I would get it, but the biggest size is XL. 😢 Plz get bigger sizes when you get a chance. I’m a 3XL.

[@oscarherrera779]

Andrew lowkey convinced me with that MJ debate

[@impulse43]

Alex where do u get all your awesome sweatshirts or t shirts and episodes 27 and 18

[@jasondiaz4090]

I finally have a Finn McMissile shirt to wear in my wedding

[@Pxrple13]

5 seconds in the video and I’m going to buy the hoodie rn

[@BelbyB]

Best part of a Monday for sure! For the mean comments section, you could try something like Escape-GOATs, like 1, they're scapegoating the take in the comment, and 2, those takes are generally GOATs in terms of most hits and (I assume) revenue

[@trustedsource6666]

MERCH IS HERE BABY

[@Limitless680]

If anyone agrees with me like this comment but alex and andrew should do an episode with doomblazer

[@nickm4410]

Damn that mean comments section was brutal😭 the hot takes are what makes the podcast so interesting and entertaining so keep doing what you’re doing because it’s awesome 🤌🏽

[@kingofentertainment7052]

Merch is here!!

[@TheUltimateStarWarsFan]

How long was the argument after that Final Cut?? 😂

[@jaxsoncranford3082]

I didn't know what SGA stood for until now. Thank you.

[@joshpickford1111]

Merch!!!!!! Will it be available to ship outside the US soon?

[@davecardwell4452]

Did you not see The Creator? You really need to and review it! Gareth Edwards made a great sci-fi movie!

[@WallyB.]

Andrew, about Spiderman- you keep saying it was MJ’s decision because she wanted to date Peter. But it was Peters decision- he didn’t want to date MJ.

[@Gazilla__]

I need that Finn Mcmissile shirt

[@MaxG2110]

Kinda disappointed the merch isn’t available to buy in Australia

[@chasew7551]

In fantastic 4 2005 von doom literally said reed richards the smartest dumb man alive

[@Joooeeel]

I'm gonna cry. You guys only ship to USA?! 😭 I need a Finn mcmissile shirt!!!

[@eliasjohansson2195]

Yea me too😭.I need the merch it looks amazing

[@FACTSDADD]

i disagree with alex on 6/10 things but he is 100% RIGHT about not bring back mj ! lets see a spiderman deal w the hardest thing ,which is being alone and knowing he needs to do WHATEVER it takes to keep his loves ones safe by not letting them to close to spiderman . as in not going back to mj to keep her alive and safe .ALEX SQAUD ON THE MJ TAKE!

[@druzii8089]

Another banger

[@jacobmolina1]

Totally agree with Andrew on no way home take it’s her life why make the decision for her!!! It was your fault all those consequences happened to you in the first place

[@BelbyB]

Kinda with Andrew on the Spiderman take, not in that Peter made the wrong decision, because yeah, he's like, you may die and I'm not going to have you die for me, but in that, it is kind of MJ's decision to make, right? Like he could do anything else to leave her, like break up immediately after, but removing her choice I think is the problem there.

[@AdventuringCole78]

Finn Mcmissle is the best!!

[@cyrussteliga6295]

Andrew made a great point about Tom and zendeya I never really thought about that before that’s a great take I’m with Andrew on this one

[@robertmundt4232]

You can tell Andrew has never been in love with that mj no way home take

[@MacReacts.]

The hoodies only go up to XL. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@lennonhillman485]

Alex spitting facts on Monday night football 🤣

[@mopsy246]

THE GOATS

[@ishansinha639]

SHAI GILGEOUS ALEXANDER REFERENCE

[@MOVIESPECTRUM007]

Don't worry, hat guy. I whatched cars 2 recently, and I thought it was don pretty amazingly

[@MrSombody1239]

I think his name is alex

[@kwillz2003]

been waiting for this woooooooooooooooooooooooo

[@urboys2154]

Fine. I’ll rewatch Wakanda Forever

[@manzington]

The craziest part about ppl hating on Alex is the fact that he’s right like 95% of the time 😭

[@jordandaniels507]

But that 5% is LOUD 😂😂love these guys tho

[@eliasjohansson2195]

I know

[@CM-jc7gk]

Literally only ever see this Alex clown when clips of his takes are getting dunked on by thousands of people on Twitter. He seems entirely media illiterate & almost like a satire of the most dull-brained "nerd culture" type of people.

[@Optimus1048]

Facts

[@WebheadFlash]

I used up all my energy in my other comment so I’ll keep my phase 4 movie ranking short 😂 7: Eternals (3/10) 6: Black Widow (4/10) 5: Thor Love and Thunder (5/10) 4: Black Panther Wakanda Forever (5/10) 3: Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness (6/10) 2: Shang-Chi and Legend of the Ten Rings (8/10) 1: Spider-Man No Way Home (9.5/10) Even including shows this is definitely my least favorite phase in the MCU.

[@sam_elmesey]

Saving another shitty monday. Heroes

[@Mooseiscool444]

how do i join the discord

[@cmodgli]

W merch

[@cooperstrecker]

I think Andrew’s opinion on peter not talking to mj would be different if he wasn’t single

[@silasdominguez2191]

Personally I rank Vol. 3 over No Way Home story wise because Peter makes a lot of bad decisions but nonetheless both great

[@ActOfRod]

yay monday! So excited for this episode. Also, Ryan Reynolds is clearly the hottest man lol.

[@wyattodaniel]

Love u alex ❤ Keep it up 💪

[@discontinued759]

of all time its def henry cavill he was prime at every age

[@andrewrouleau7298]

Genuine question, are you legally allowed to sell merch/make money using Spider-Man’s likeness?

[@WebheadFlash]

Ok I couldn’t wait to finish the episode to make this point cause good god. Andrew is in fact VERY wrong on his point about the end of NWH in the shop and I’m actually in COMPLETE agreement with Alex on this. Peter’s entire fucking motto is Great Power Great Responsibility, and that perfectly applies with MJ. You downplaying it by saying “oh no she got a boo-boo” is awful cause it was the thought of how she almost died that caused Toms Peter to do what he did, and because he needed Andrews Peters help to save her is what had him questioning if he could keep her safe. Sure Peter loses the love of his life, but guess what, it is exactly how Peter Parker would respond to something like that!! The same also applies to him taking the box from strange, because he wants to try and save the villains which is also a very Peter Parker response!! Definitely gonna go down as one of the hardest disagreements I’ve had on one of these episodes, but still loving the show and hope y’all keep up the great work.

[@hydr8990]

alex i would love to join the cars 2 love club

[@joshuawhitaker2913]

Ok, I know I’m late on this, but I hate how Alex says that Icarus is the best representation of Superman cause of how it’s shot, when the director literally said that her biggest inspo for the shooting of Icarus was Man of Steel, a movie Alex vehemently hates.

[@nrg1229]

I don't think ALL of nwh is peter's fault tbh. I think at least some of it was strange jumping the gun. Peter came to him specifically ABOUT his friends and just assumed on a whim peter wanted them to forget him too lmao. Also not stopping the spell when he saw peter constantly making new additions just feels kinda dumb since he knows peter always yaps in situations like that. But yeah, a significant portion of it is still his fault though.

[@visualvandal3986]

Second greatest QB is Joe Montana Alex , common L

[@rodrigoandrade5601]

hey, quick question: is this a spinoff of the nerd crew?

[@manzington]

I don’t think they’ll bring Jane and Hiemdall back. I think it was just to show that they were together in a nice place.

[@man-fp3gh]

When I got out of the theater for no way home I thought that movie was an 11/10 I was obsessed with it and it was all I would talk about for like 3 or 4 months and then the hype died down for me and I rewatched it and I still think it’s a great movie but the nostalgia for it kinda wore off on me but even then I give it an 8.5/10

[@Sike13vr]

I actually agree with hat guy about bringing Mj back because he is showing his love by not wanting her to get hurt or die and he loves him so much that he can’t lose her

[@Sike13vr]

I mean not bringing her back

[@getfunkod]

Yall should watch WWE because the strikes have made it amazing 😅

[@Pxrple13]

POV: forgot i am a teenager who has no money and cant get the best merch *crying* rn

[@skeletonflash3965]

🎉🎉🎉

[@The513NerdsPodcast]

If you take out the nostalgia from no way home there is no plot. The villains aren’t present.
