Full Episode Transcript



Alex:                 Welcome to MarvelVision, a podcast about Marvel the MCU and Falcon and Winter Soldier. I’m Alex.



Justin:              I’m Justin.



Pete:                I’m Pete. Zalben, this is your ep, buddy, huh? You excited?



Alex:                 Number-one Baron Zemo-



Pete:                To see your dad on screen?



Alex:                 … fan over here. My time has finally come. My ship has come in. We’re going to be talking about Power Broker, the third episode of the series. Now, requisite spoiler warning here. If you haven’t watched the episode, go watch it. I’m sure you woke up at 3:00 AM just as we all did-



Justin:              Just like us.



Alex:                 … and we’ve been talking about it nonstop for the past couple of hours-



Pete:                Nonstop.



Alex:                 … just really breaking down, heavily scripting this show. So we are ready to go.



Justin:              I like to get up at like 3:02 to really let it marinate a little bit for those first couple minutes and then press play, you know?



Pete:                Wow.



Alex:                 Yes. 100 percent, and also, I like to just sort of fairly let people have the chance to watch it. So that’s why I-



Pete:                [crosstalk 00:01:03].



Justin:              Exactly. Before I start shouting spoilers on Twitter, I wait until 3:02.



Pete:                Super nice of you guys.



Justin:              Of course, Alex, you scream first when you press play on it, right?



Alex:                 Every time for every show-



Justin:              Dope.



Alex:                 … even when it’s just on broadcast-



Pete:                [crosstalk 00:01:16].



Alex:                 … [crosstalk 00:01:16]. I’m first.



Justin:              At Broadway performances, you’re like “First. Yeah. I love this.”



Alex:                 So in this episode, just to give you the broad strokes, this picks up right where we left off pretty much in-



Pete:                53 minutes.



Alex:                 Left off in episode two as Sam and Bucky have gone to visit Zemo in prison to get information on the Power Broker. They don’t know about the Power Broker yet, but find out about the Power Broker, find out how the Flag-Smashers got the Super Soldier Serum and what’s going on with that. He has researched that over the years. So they think he’s going to be a good source, but of course, as we suspected the last episode of this podcast, they end up actually breaking Zemo out of jail and teaming up with him-



Justin:              We called it.



Alex:                 … in a hilarious buddy comedy, and they head to none other than Madripoor, which is a very important location for-



Justin:              I love this.



Alex:                 … X-Men fans. I’m sure we’ll get into this a bit. That’s where they meet Sharon Carter, who’s been hanging out there. They get into a big action scuffle there, find out more about the Super Soldier Serum, head on the next chapter of their journey, while in the background, John Walker and Battlestar are hot on their heels and just getting hotter on
