Marveling at Marvel's Marvels

This week, we discuss the latest film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Marvels! Join us for our thoughts on this superhero team-up film!  Needless to say, spoilers abound. So, if you want to see the movie unspoilt, maybe consider holding off on this episode... 

It's a jam-packed episode, Marvelers, as we discuss Captain America (not the one you like), Bucky (not that one), Nomad (still not Cap), Bucky (another one, but still not the good one), and Scourge (not the one you think). That's right, it's Jack Monroe! This dude's story is strange, confusing, and fairly depressing, so strap in for some fun!

Let us deal you in for an all new episode! All you'll need for this winning hand is the Jack of Hearts! Jon's quite the card, but Josef plays it straight- and you'll be flush with knowledge by the time they're done! 

Longtime listeners know we've been looking for an excuse to talk about Dune, and here it is. Join us as we discuss 1984's Marvel Super Special #36, an adaptation of David Lynch's Dune movie! Yes, it's technically Marvel! Spoiler alert, we go into some detail on the entire Dune novel series by Frank Herbert.  

I hope you've been nice and not naughty, because it's time for our ho-ho-holiday special, 2023 edition!  I might humbly suggest you enjoy Episode 45 before listening to this one... https://matmm.libsyn.com/episode-45-christmas-mystery

On this all new episode, we talk about Marvel's season two of Loki! 

Where do superheroes go with their trauma? No, after they beat on criminals... No, after they risk their lives for...  It's the therapist, OK? They should almost all see a therapist. Unfortunately, Marvel only has one non-evil psychoanalyst, and that's Doc Samson!

Behold, the silent scavenger! Majestic wings spread, bald scalp shines, he circles his prey. With a swooping dive, he... yoinks a briefcase and gets whomped by Spider-Man.  That's right, it's The Vulture! One of Marvel's oldest villains (in more ways than one).

Warning: this is gonna get confusing. We discuss the long history of Marvelman/Miracleman/totally not Captain Marvel. Even Jon is lost by the end...

When Josef's away, the nerds will play! With the sensible member of the Marveling team out on paternity leave, Jonathan pulls in a couple very special friends to endure the Morbius movie!  It's a spoiler-heavy episode, but honestly, no one needs to watch this movie. 

We've got a special treat: Josef read some comics! In this episode, we dig deep for a discussion of the classic 1986 series by Frank Miller and Bill Sienkiewicz, Elektra Assassin!  Expect full spoilers for this almost 40 year old comic, so if that's a problem, maybe come back later...

By listener request, we present the favorite son of the Mojoverse, Longshot! Get ready for some lucky 4-fingered madness!

We go back to the movies, this time for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse! Into the Spider-Verse was loved by all members of our podcast team- can this one possibly live up to that standard? Only one way to find out! Needless to say, we spoil the film, including every surprise and twist. So if you haven't seen the movie, maybe wait to listen to this episode...

Wondering what your favorite podcasters have to say about the Disney+ Secret Invasion series? Well, wonder no longer! Needless to say, spoilers abound. 

Join us for a another cinematic journey, as we discuss the latest (and perhaps final) entry in the Guardians of the Galaxy series.  Be aware we will delve deep into to spoilers for the movie, so if you'd rather watch it uninformed, maybe save this episode until you have.

Hold on tight, this is a wild ride! Join us on a break-neck run though the entire 1982 series "Team America". Don't miss this one!

This character is a wild ride, folks. Originally written as a throwback-style hero, he became a comic relief before taking one of the darkest turns in comics. We're talking about Speedball- no, not the deadly drug combo, but the Marvel character. Don't miss it!

What do you get when Marvel tries to make a Looney Toons character? Slapstick, a character who almost lives up to his name. Join us as we discuss his origins, powers and (lack of) genitalia. 

Want to hear what what your favorite podcasters think about the third installment of Marvel's Ant-Man series? Then don't miss our review of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania!

Spider-Man has always had the best rogues gallery, so why not spend some time with one of his first opponents? On this all-new episode, we spend some time with the one-man beach party, Sandman!

By Patreon request, we bring you Marvel's premier ninja, Elektra! We'll discuss her origins, her career as an assassin, and her eventual superhero turn- with our usual digressions, of course...

Despite Josef's protestations, we once again find ourselves having that age old argument: Is a bow a viable tool for superheroics? This time, it's in the context of the (possibly superior) Hawkeye, Kate Bishop! Don't miss this one!

We've mentioned him before, but now we're fully immersing ourselves in Onslaught! Join us to learn about his origins, the major event he anchored, and his inevitable return. 

In this episode of Litigating Literature's Legends, our panel discusses Cormac McCarthy's masterpiece, Blood Meridian. Is this the "Great American Novel" or just a pretentions pile of paper? Listen and decide for yourself!

Please take a few minutes to listen to this important announcement from your Marveling team!
