Marvel’s Squirrel Girl: The Unbeatable Radio Show!: Season One

April 20, 2022 6:58 AM

Watch out, evildoers and college kids who need advice! Doreen Green, the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, is back, in podcast form!

Milana Vayntrub leads the cast, Ryan North writes, Nancy and Rachel and Koi Boi and Chipmunk Hunk and Brain Drain return, what's not to love?

I listened to the first episode immediately upon seeing Ryan North's announcement of it on Twitter. It was pretty much a foregone conclusion that I would enjoy this, but I actually made a little fist-pump gesture when the celebrity guest called in, playing himself. Just utterly delightful.

Her advice to the caller who could fly, but only 3 feet off the ground... Chef's kiss.

I'm looking forward to when Doom calls in and is a jerk.

I just wish Tippy-Toe sounded more like an actual squirrel.

I love that Milana Vayntrub is finally getting cast in things (like the fun horror comedy Werewolves Within) that really utilize her as a comedic player, and Squirrel Girl is such a great part for her energy. I've been a fan ever since she showed up in the short-lived Yahoo! sci-fi sitcom Other Space, and have been disappointed that she hasn't become more than just "that girl from the phone commercials" in terms of TV/film roles.

I adored Unbeatable Squirrel Girl and having this follow on directly from the last issue is so good! I missed these characters a lot more than I realized.

The theme song is perfect.

Just finished the season. Fun, very true to the spirit of the comic, and particularly a great vehicle for Brain Drain's idiosyncratic line delivery.
