While the Marvel Cinematic Universe's latest outing has enough outsized star power to go around, one of its sharpest casting decisions had zilch to do with that. For the voice-only role of Arishem the Judge, the Celestial who shepherds the Eternals and sends them on the mission that opens the film, director Chloé Zhao and casting directors Sarah Finn and Anna Tenney made the eminently commendable decision to hire an actual voice actor. And, while this actor may not be as much of a household name as his fellow castmates, he's certainly a superstar in his own field. David Kaye. He's one of the few performers to have played both Optimus Prime and Megatron in some of the Transformers animated shows, while he also lent his voice to both Professor X and Apocalypse in X-Men: Evolution. He's played several more Marvel characters in the past, as well as Clank in the Ratchet & Clank games. He also serves as the announcer for Last Week Tonight with John Oliver on HBO.

An in-world book from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Wakanda Files—compiled by request of Shuri (Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War) as part of her quest to improve the future for all people—is a collection of papers, articles, blueprints, and notes amassed throughout history by Wakanda’s War Dogs. In a nod to Wakandan technology, the pages of the book have a printed layer of UV ink with content that is visible only under the accompanying Kimoyo bead–shaped UV light. Within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Wakanda has been on the forefront of what is technologically possible. Their ability to stay ahead of the rest of the world is second only to their ability to keep themselves hidden. As the architect behind many of Wakanda’s great advancements, Shuri is constantly seeking ways to improve what has come before. To aid in her search, she researches the past for context, reference, and inspiration by compiling The Wakanda Files. Organized into areas of study,

We are joined by Dave, the host of Pop Culture Case Study, one of our favorite podcasts which pairs psychology with pop culture, be it movies, music, books, tv shows, or comic books. The new movie we will be talking about in this episode is a comic book adaptation, the newest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Avengers Age of Ultron. This inspires a theme of Responsibility With Robots, where we look back at the Pixar classic WALL-E, which predicts a future where robots care for and ultimately control the survival of humanity, going up against the second older film which is only a few weeks old in EX MACHINA. This movie has the responsibility for one being of artificial intelligence being shared between a mad scientist and the young man brought in to test her humanity. Along the way we come up with the appropriate defensive porn watching tactics to use against A.I. and wonder if lovable WALL-E was involved in an abusive relationship.
