#166 – Ironheart Ep. 2 – “Will the Real Natalie Please Stand Up?”: AI, Grief, Trouble Ahead

The mystery of Natalie deepens—and Riri Williams is caught between genius and grief. From an awkward crew meetup to a dangerous heist beneath Chicago, Episode 2 brings big questions, magical mayhem, and a whole lot of moral gray. I break down Joe’s shady tech stash, The Hood’s villain speech, and what might be Marvel’s boldest AI storyline yet.
Also? Cubs fans, dog poop, flower-snipping tension…
You know, just another day in the MCU.
