Hello everyone and welcome to a special two-part episode of The Happy Xen Podcast! This week Adam and Matt do some serious tongue-biting as they each order the Marvel Cinematic Universe films from 18 to number 1. In part I (what you have right here), the guys do the heavy lifting of going through numbers 18 to 11, and some of their choices will no doubt surprise you! Listen as best friends try their hardest to keep from fisticuffs (you’ll notice a purposeful lack of alcohol in this episode for good reason!), and attempt to reason with each other on their admittedly biased lists. So click on, buckle up and listen in, as we present you another Xennial point of view on The Happy Xen Podcast!

Show Notes:

• See what films count as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) from Wikipedia
• What will all 18 of these films lead to? Check out the Avengers: Infinity War Trailer on Youtube
• Do you agree or disagree? Let us know on social media: Facebook, Twitter and Instagram

In some weird alternate universe, we have now had our second guest on The Happy Xen Podcast! This time we tricked Senior Coordinator of Volunteer & Intern Resources at Toronto International Film Festival (and friend/fan of the show), Katie Epp into joining us for a fun and slightly educational episode. Listen as Adam is schooled on the awesome responsibilities and perks of being a TIFF volunteer. Katie tells how she went from school teacher, to blacksmith (not joking), to managing the volunteer program at one of the world’s largest film festivals. Matt, Adam and Katie also dive into what their go-to films are, Katie makes some film suggestions for teens of today, and the group discuss their thoughts on binge watching TV. Plus a minor gaff that leads Adam and Katie to gang up on poor Matt. All this and so much more! So click on, buckle up and listen in, as we present you another Xennial point of view on The Happy Xen Podcast!

How have things changed since the terrifying days of public school and high school? After we open up those old wounds, we move right along to what may be the only time in history that Matt has a sports rant! Of course it’s about Olympic Women’s curling, but he might just be on to something. Lastly the guys wrap up by discussing & debating all the important geek movie trailers that dropped during the Super Bowl. You don’t want to miss this!

Is this the most embarrassing episode yet? It may be as the guys gush over their hero, Kevin Smith. Listen as Adam and Matt go over in painful detail their appreciation of everything Kevin Smith has produced and done, from movies, to books, to TV and more!

If you’ve never heard of Mr. Smith, (and seriously, where have you been?!), hopefully we’ll convince you to take a trip down the rabbit hole of all his creative endeavors. Whether it’s Mallrats, Tusk, Comic Book Men, or maybe his Podcasts and live Q&As, we’re pretty sure you’ll find something to enjoy.
