What if…you listened to a podcast about What If…? In a universe of infinite possibilities, Michael Holland (currently post-production supervisor on The Peripheral for Amazon) finds himself once again teaming up with Paul and Arlo for a discussion of MCUTV. This time, it’s the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s first animated series, the multiversal What If…? Ostensibly an anthology series, the show ponders the ways in which our heroes’ lives could have gone very, very differently. For their part, the gang ponders the series’ relationship to the classic comic book of the same name, how the 2.5D animation allows for greater freedom than live-action, how voice acting is not the same thing as physical acting, and how–of course–everything is connected.   NEXT: we bid farewell to 2021 with the comfy, cozy The Muppet Christmas Carol.     BREAKDOWN 00:00:30  -  Intro / Guest 00:04:06  -  What if…there was a comic book series called What If…? 00:20:04  -  What If…?  (the show!) 02:19:40  -  Outro / Next     MUSIC “Changes” by David Bowie, Hunky Dory (1971) “Howard the Duck Theme” by Dolby’s Cube feat.
