CATWS Minutes 101-105: Condorman, Photostatic Veils, and the Death of SHIELD

Cap gets to punch things the old-fashioned way, Falcon proves the value of a truly good sidekick, and — in the span of five minutes on the deck of the Insight — the entire MCU quietly reboots. Pete, Matthew, and Kyle break down minutes 101 through 105 of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, from the fighty-fighty cross-cutting chaos to Natasha's data dump that ends SHIELD as we knew it. Plus a deep detour into a lost Disney gem, a debate over whether Alexander Pierce actually believes his own pitch, and Bucky doing Bucky.Links & Notes

• MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios — the behind-the-scenes history the crew cites for the Agents of SHIELDstories, by Joanna Robinson, Dave Gonzales, and Gavin Edwards. (Swap in your own affiliate tag on this link to support the show.)
• Condorman (1981) — the Disney live-action glider-suit caper starring Michael Crawford. Heads up: despite what we said on the show, it's not currently on Disney+ — it's rent/buy on Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home.
• Onset: Manifest, Book One — Pete's first full-length novel, a dark YA thriller and the opening of a new trilogy. Aunt-Mimi-approved.
• Superhero Ethics — Matthew's show, now welcoming new co-host Paul Hoppe. An upcoming episode digs into Pete's writing and the ethical choices in his first book.
• Star Wars Generations — the crew's Star Wars podcast, covering the new series The Ninth Jedi.
