Marvelous! Or, the Death of Cinema
The world’s premier and only ’anti cinematic-universe’ podcast. We take a critical and vulgarly comedic look at the MCU, the DCU, and other ultra-commercial modern blockbusters and chart the decline of Hollywood and the diseased, dying culture that it represents. Hosted by Discourse Stu (@Discourse_Stu), Nicole Veneto (RIP @kuntsuragi) and Cole (@RaceplayShawty). Audio production by Miguel Tahni. Cover art by Zoe Woolley (@probablyademon). Banner by Heartworme (@barfoid). Discord: https://discord.gg/7vRmbRJDgs Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/marvelousdeath

Spider-Man: Far From Home, or Batalon Royale
Thursday May 02, 2024
Thursday May 02, 2024
Right off the back of the milestone of watching/shitting on Avengers: Endgame, followed it up with another Spider-Man movie, and to nobody's surprise it literally doesn't matter. This is an anime beach episode that has no bearing on anything else that happens in a cinematic universe. Spider-Man accidentally drones a school bus driving through the Czech Republic to get back at fakeass Charles Melton for taking revenge porn of him, and somehow it doesn't feel as insane as it should be. Everyone is so fucking tired here! Except for Jacob Batalon. Love that guy, let him be James Bond.

Avengers: Endgame, or This is (Not) the End
Thursday Apr 18, 2024
Thursday Apr 18, 2024
It's all led to this. 21 movies, tens of billions of dollars made at the box office, a movie going public willing and hungry to return to the trough to see even more purple Josh Brolin. It's the second highest grossing movie of all time (unadjusted for inflation) and the episode you've all been waiting for since the very beginning: Avengers: Endgame. Has enough time passed now to say it sucks?

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, or The Real Glup Shitto
Thursday Apr 04, 2024
Thursday Apr 04, 2024
A $4 billion dollar Disney acquisition, Reddit internet flamewars, and three film trilogies of the so-called “Skywalker Saga” have finally led to this: a movie so desperate to backtrack on The Last Jedi and meet its 2019 release date that the end result is something akin to a term paper written half an hour before you’re supposed to turn it in. Rise of Skywalker isn’t so much a film as it is the apotheosis of every single horrible trend in IP blockbuster filmmaking this podcast has discussed since our very first episode, a movie that set out to please everyone and in turn satisfied absolutely nobody save for your dumbest co-worker and children with the attention spans of goldfish. JJ Abrams’ mystery box collapses in on itself in a jaw-droppingly stupid way that leaves you asking one question: how did anyone think this was okay to release?

Joker, or How I Got These (Psychological) Scars (Feat. Ty)
Thursday Mar 21, 2024
Thursday Mar 21, 2024
Comedian and friend of the show Ty from TGOF(V) joins us to discuss the most well adjusted and normal practitioners of the greatest art, and it's greatest artist: Noted non-rapping Insane Clown and sometimes Bats-men pesterer: The Joker. A role now more prestigious than MacBeth, it both won an Academy Award and turned every lonely man that saw it into a spree shooter. Join us as we dive into the sick n' twizted origin story of the clown prince of crime, and maybe crack a few jokes of our own along the way.

Dark Phoenix, or Professor Baldy's Academy for Freaks
Thursday Mar 07, 2024
Thursday Mar 07, 2024
In our first run at the Fox X-Men films proper we tackle Dark Phoenix, a film that turns one of the classic story arcs in comics that turns it into a flaccid two hours of cinematic rice cake. We explore the film's very troubled production history, the career of writer/director Simon Kinberg, and discuss the source material, how commercially oriented film production strips it of everything weird, exciting or interesting, and put two more Xs into the X-Men.
