Episode 1

WITS chats Loki S2E1

Loki returns! Rebecca and Tori (mostly Rebecca) rhapsodize about Tom Hiddleston and his hair flips in Loki Season 2, episode 1 Ouroboros. We discuss Marvel fatigue (Tori no/Rebecca yes) and ponder the relationship between General Dox and X5 (anyone else find it creepy?). From religion to confusing timelines to how to correctly pronounce Ke Huy Quan and Jörmungandr, we land on how much we loved this episode!

Profile picture for Rebecca B

Rebecca B

Rebecca has always appreciated nerdy and cult-classic media such as Star Trek (in all its iterations), Star Wars (leaning toward the early stuff), Battlestar Galactica, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and so on. She has also been a huge fan of Fantasy content like Lord of the Rings, Piers Anthony, The Wheel of Time, Game of Thrones, and many others. She is relatively new to Marvel content and the world of Buffy, but she is enjoying the ride. She loves to talk about ALL of the above and could not be more thrilled to do so with her long time friend and often partner in crime, Tori.

Tori S

Tori is a life-long tv and movie fan, growing up with classics such as Gilligan's Island, Lost in Space, M*A*S*H, and movie musicals. Alas, she never got into "fandom," which is probably because her mom wouldn't buy her the teen mags needed to be a super fan back in the day. Now, this Pacific Northwest transplant is trying to rectify this by chatting television and movies with her intrepid friend, Rebecca.
