Webb Streaming: What I’m Loving, Reading, and Watching this Week

Webb Streaming is back to take you through what content I’m watching, reading or enjoying this week.

This week’s top 5 Webb Streaming recommendations are below:

1- The Loki Season 1 Finale

Holy cow. What a way to end the series.

Michael Waldron, the shower’s main writer, has absolutely killed the dialogue. Whether it’s the seriousness of the show, or its moments of levity, this show just crushes it. Loki brings fresh life into the MCU and plays around with avant-garde ideas. If you’re looking for a Marvel show to bring you up after the Infinity Saga, Loki is your meal ticket. While Falcon & The Winter Soldier, or WandaVision were outstanding in their own right, This is by far Marvel’s best show to date.

2- The Mysterious Benedict Society

Based on the hit children’s series by Trenton Lee Stewart, The Mysterious Benedict Society is a wonderful twist of puzzles, great and small, and uncovering the secrets behind a mass event known as the Emergency. The story is rather gripping and involves children going undercover in the fictitious town of Stonetown. While the show is generally made for children, you’ll still enjoy this show ifr you’re an adult in age, but a child at heart. Star Anthony Hale (Arrested Development) absolutely kills it. Between this, Harley Quinn, and Rugrats, Hale keeps himself busy.

3- Mario Golf: Super Rush

Mario Golf: Super Rush might be the crowning achievement in the Mario Golf arena. Not only does this game bring elements of Mario Kart, but the golf itself is incredible. The courses are perfect, the specialty courses deliver everything and then some. I can promise you’ll love this iteration of Mario Golf. If you ever want to play me in a game, here is my Nintendo Switch Friend Code: SW-8557-9540-0508.

Let’s get up on a game.

4- Secret Empire

While this is an older comic miniseries (2017), it truly was one of Marvel’s best events in recent history. A lot of people took umbrage with the notion of Captain America going Hydra. I personally thought it was brilliant. It reminded me of the Hulk Hogan WCW heel turn when he became Hollywood Hogan. It truly was a memorable experience and they made the most out of what they had with heel Captain America. The story showcased exactly how difficult it could be to try and take down the heart and soul of the Avengers. Nick Spencer absolutely killed this run and it might be one of my favorite modern stories.

Introducing Webb Streaming: What I’m Loving, Reading, and Watching this Week

Welcome to Webb Streaming, an UnafraidShow.com column featuring content I’m loving, reading, or watching that week. The weekly column will provide a brief recap, as well as links and resources, so you can follow along with the comic books, games, movies and shows I’ve fallen in love with on platforms like Netflix, Amazon, or AppleTV.

This week’s top 5 Webb Streaming recommendations are below:

1- Loki

I called this show the best product Marvel has put out early on, and that still remains as true today as it did then. This show keeps on hitting. It doesn’t matter if it’s the soundtrack, the emotion, or the lore, but this show is digging deep in the Marvel lore and it delivers week in and week out. Musical director Natalie Holt has pieced together one of the most memorable soundtracks Marvel has delivered since Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1 and Vol. 2; they’re both classics. This show will truly go down in the record books as one of the best examples of how they support one another. You can watch the whole series on Disney+, all episodes will be up by this coming Wednesday (7/14). 

2- Black Widow

Now that they are able to put out a much more in-depth trailer and a familiar tone, the current market projections have Black Widow have the film tracking at an $80m-$90m opening weekend. Out of all the films Marvel has put out for our pleasure, only two of them have been dedicated to women; Captain Marvel and Black Widow. While the present course of films are going to be more dedicated to women, minorities, and underrepresented cultures. Still there is a bit of irony that the two films put out by Marvel feature white women, that will soon change with Ms. Marvel, the Eternals, Shang Chi, Thor: Love and Thunder, and Black Panther 2 will change the landscape of the Marvel sandbox going forward. The film releases in theaters on July 9th, but can also be purchased on Disney+ Premier Access for an additional fee. 

3- The Tomorrow War

Chris Pratt stars in the Amazon exclusive film, The Tomorrow War

An Amazon exclusive film starring Chris Pratt, Yvonne Strahovski, J.K. Simmons, Sam Richardson and Edwin Hodge. The Tomorrow War is a sci-fi thriller set in two distinct eras. As humanity deals with an alien threat they cannot seem to beat, the people of the future travel back in time to seek aid from humanity in stopping the war in their time so it never happened in the future. Chris Pratt plays a former special forces soldier who is drafted into the war and ends up fighting alongside his daughter thirty years in the future. If you’re looking for a quick action burn for those hot summer nights, check out The Tomorrow War on Amazon Prime Video today. Subscription is necessary. 

4- Seven Secrets

Looking for an incredible comic? Seven Secrets delivers in which Tom Taylor and Daniele Di Nicuolo put their best foot forward to create an incredible book surrounding seven secrets that an ancient order is tasked with keeping from the general public. The secrets are kept by a Keeper and a Holder. But what happens when one of the people charged with keeping the secrets decides to share them with the world? Find out in the explosive and wonderful story about secrets, hidden worlds, and perfecting the art of keeping these secrets from the general public. This series can be found on Comixology and is published by BOOM! If you’re going to pick up a new comic, I can’t recommend this one enough.

Well, folks; there you have it. This column will be a weekly one and it will cover something new in every column.
