Chris and Ev briefly investigate the most recent (and supposedly best) video game adaptation, Inspector Rodent (2019). No Pokémon were harmed in the making of this podcast (even if that one Likitung was asking for it).

This episode we start Evansfest, a made-up celebration of the superior Chris, Chris Evans and an exploration of four of his most significant adaptations. First off we have decided to start with his most celebrated role as America's Ass himself, Captain America. Note this episode was originally recorded pre-April 2018 hence no discussion of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.    Random Recommendations: Chris: Still Alice. Ev: Juno.      Feel free to email us at mediumshift@gmail.com. iTunes: https://apple.co/2V1JAIX Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2YqDMuqGoogle Podcast: https://bit.ly/2Yw2J7IStitcher: https://bit.ly/2UgpEVl Spreaker: https://bit.ly/2OuBCWh Podbean: https://bit.ly/2OuBOot

Between their bouts of intense sobbing, Chris and Ev manage to edit together a Minishift episode about the movie 11 years in the making. Welcome to the Endgame... Alright, back to the sobbing.

In our first adaptation of the written word, we drive a (metaphorical) sword into the heart of our childhood to see what works, and what definitely doesn't, in Eragon.

Chris and Ev say the magic word and quickly check out the second Captain Marvel film to come out this year. Superpowers! Orphans! Tonally dissonant boardroom scenes!

It only took four episodes but we're finally getting into our first (but surely not our last) mediocre American remake, this time of a beloved British comedy classic. Random Recommendations. Chris: Mary Poppins. Ev: Powerless. Feel free to contact us at mediumshift@gmail.com.

This episode we dive into the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the first (but definitely not the last time) with last year's monstrous success Black Panther. Note this episode was originally recorded after the film was released, hence no mention of Avengers: Infinity War and its Oscar success.
