New mask. Same podcast. MCU Diaries breaks down what matters in the MCU—why it works, why it doesn’t, and how it all points to Doomsday and Secret Wars.
New mask. Same podcast.
The MCU Diaries is a smart, craft-first Marvel podcast hosted by Blake Larsen—built for people who love the MCU but don’t want a 4-hour recap of everything that ever happened.
Each episode is an essay you can listen to: we focus on the story choices that actually matter—character pressure, turning points, theme, and consequences—and we track how those choices set the table for what’s coming next.
This isn’t “hey remember when…?” fandom. It’s what worked, what didn’t, why, and what it means on the road to Doomsday and Secret Wars. Expect selective coverage (not checkbox coverage), big swings, and zero sacred cows.
Spoiler note: We talk full spoilers for whatever we’re covering.
