Cloak & Dagger was one of the projects produced by the old Marvel TV group. In the days before Disney+, Marvel TV produced many hits including Agents of SHIELD and the six Marvel Netflix series. Out of all of those projects that received multiple seasons Cloak & Dagger seems to have been left behind. The two season series ran on the Freeform cable network. Following the adventures of Tandy Bowen and Tyrone Johnson the series seemed to be pitched towards a younger audience, but that didn’t keep them from compelling storylines. In this episode we look at the second season of Cloak & Dagger. We discuss the series’ evolution, and how we felt the characters and plots were handled in the season. We also talk about what we would have liked if there had been a season 3.
In this week’s five-minute controversy the cast discusses whether Mahershala Ali’s casting as Blade in the MCU is a problem, since he already played Cottonmouth in Luke Cage.
This week Ryan, Mike, and Mark join the cast.

Come celebrate 50 episodes of The 42cast. Unlike other podcasts we’re not doing anything special. We’re just bringing you the same great reviews that you’ve come to expect from The 42cast. This time we discuss season one of Marvel’s Cloak and Dagger. The series is a bit of a looser adaptation than many other Marvel properties and skews far younger in the demographics. This week we discuss the series, how it works as an adaptation, and how well it works in its own right. We’ll also discuss stylistic choices, how it stacks against the CW and Marvel’s Runaways, and make much ado about their musical choices.
