Across the Omniverse

It gets real in this trio of episodes, as the traditionally kind of lame villain Scorpion proves a bit much for a young version of Spider-Man. When we say we gasped... Also:  Brave New World  gets the worst MCU Cinemascore, they may have a Dick Ryder ready for the  Nova  show and there's cursing in a promo for  Superman .  If you want to hear us talking about  Captain America: Brave New World...

They're tossing a whole bunch of Spidey at us each week, but at least the show is good! This new take on young Spider-Man is having a blast playing with Marvel Comics lore and using real bottom of the barrel villains like Speed Demon and Unicorn. But Doc Ock waits in the wings, so maybe Spidey will be facing a real threat soon.  Before that: the Super Bowl! There's a new Thunderbolts* tr...

We interrupt your week to bring you breaking news about the  Fantastic Four: First Steps  trailer and also Post Malone Oreos. 

It's a new show as Marvel debuts their latest Spider-Man cartoon, the one with the impossibly long name. It was originally going to be set in the MCU but they changed their mind, and now it's taking place in its own little continuity with plenty of nods to what came before but some major changes and big swings. But is it any good? Before that: lots of news, including the fact that Harris...

It turns out Falcon's first appearance in  Captain America  #117 left us hanging, so we're back this week with the next issue, where the Red Skull does the ultimate evil of telling a group of Cap stans to go eff themselves. Technically the story doesn't end here, so we will be talking about #119 in the intro to next week's episode! Speaking of intros: Derek gets a new camera an...

Let's go back in time to when Sam Wilson, aka The Falcon, first entered the Marvel Universe. You know him as a Harlem social worker, so of course Cap meets him... on an unnamed tropical island populated by WWII war criminals? You know how the comic books are.  Before that we have some news and another installment of listener mail. You want your questions answered? Simply email us at ask.cinem...

Our first look into the new DCU comes to a conclusion, but does it stick the landing? Can James Gunn bring it all together and make it work? And why doesn't Nina Mazursky get a lawyer anyway? Before that we go wide ranging on the LA fires, the news (what little of it there is), the  It's Always Sunny/Abbott Elementary  crossover and we answer listener mail. Find out what our least favori...

This episode sees a big change for us: we're also doing it on video! This audio version will remain forever, but you can also watch us if that's the kind of weird thing you're into. We're going to be uploading these to YouTube moving forward, and the videos will also be here on the Patreon .  In the meantime: this week we get the origin of Dr. Phosphorus and if you were worried...

It's the best episode yet as Frankenstein takes center stage. And this episode of MarvelVision is certain to be the only podcast you hear this week where the conversation ranges from the origins of some racial slurs to the nature of evil with stops along the way to discuss robot vacuums, the global reaction to  The Wizard of Oz and whether it's sad when an old person dies.  In the intro...

This week we get a flashback to Weasel's supposed crime that landed him in Belle Reve. But is Weasel even capable of understanding that he's in prison? And does everybody need to be a misunderstood monster? Also, we somehow get into a discussion about who won WWII.  Before that there's news, including some good  Superman  news and some possibly troubling rumblings about that same mo...

This morning James Gunn dropped the first teaser trailer for his Superman reboot on us, and we knew we needed to get on the mic and blather on with our impressions, insights and opinions. And so here that is, a quick episode devoted entirely to this trailer which - spoiler! - we both quite like! See you next week at the usual time.

It's Nazi killing time on Creature Commandos as we get GI Robot's origin story. But am I being too nitpicky with this show? And if so is it because of bias or because I expect something more from James Gunn? Also: some news! Perhaps too much discussion of Better Call Saul ! And some tough trivia. If you don't care about any of that skip to 28:35. If you want to hear more of us talki...

It's our first look at the new DCU, spearheaded by James Gunn. Is the view good or are we a bit concerned about what we're looking at? You'll have to listen to find out as we break down the first two episodes of this very adult-oriented cartoon that may be a remake of  Suicide Squad  (the first one).  Before that: where in the world should Devin go? When is the  Superman  trailer co...

Why is my chair so squeaky? Is Derek burping? The only person who might know is The Watcher, who is introduced in this issue of  Fantastic Four . A truly jam-packed bit of storytelling, this issue has dead cities on the Moon, a commie villain, a trio of super-apes, the winning of the space race and more. It's the kind of comic book fun that could only happen in the 60s.  In the intro we chat...

When does a criminal deserve leniancy? When they're very hot and have nice legs, according to Batman. Here's the first appearance of Catwoman, and it's a doozy. From Batman speaking directly to the kids at home to his immortal words "Be quiet or papa spank," this one has it all.  Before that, some news, including a rumor about  The Young Avengers  becoming  The Champions ....

This week we take a look at the first appearance of the next superstar of the silver screen, Kraven the Hunter. In his first appearance he fights apes, drinks a mysterious smoking brew and goes cruising in Central Park. Also: Peter Parker's love life is a mess, and we couldn't be happier about it.  Before that we talk about a whole bunch of TV shows, including  Rings of Power and  Dune:...

It's the finale of  The Penguin and good news: everybody ends up happy! Whew, I was worried for a minute there. Well okay, maybe that doesn't happen but  wow  was this a good final episode. We loved it.  Before we get to  The Penguin  we have some news, including James Gunn personally humiliating me, new MCU trailers out of Brazil, and we discuss the ins and outs of Bluesky, the social n...

It's the penultimate episode of  The Penguin , and things get explosive. Plus, we take a look back at Oz's childhood and hoo boy do things get dark. Real, real dark. This show is not afraid to make this guy a true villain. Speaking of which, Sofia seemingly graduates to real supervillain status this episode, and we couldn't be happier.  We recorded this episode on Election Day eve,...

It  was  Agatha all along after all. The show comes to an incredibly satisfying end, and lays groundwork for more yet to come in the MCU. This week Derek and I finally find a version of Aubrey Plaza that gets our motors humming, we discuss why Agatha ends up in the form she does, and argue about whether lemons were available in Massachussetts in 1750. Before that: we are recording on Halloween! Th...

Oz is up against the wall when the Maronis and Gigantes put the kibosh on his Bliss business, but he's always at his best when he's up against the wall. And when he's at his best he's a lying, cheating, backstabbing villain - this show does not hide just how awful its protagonist is.  Before that: Zendaya is a goddess! James Gunn debunks more dumb rumors! And maybe the new triv...

It's a whopper of a Marvelvision as we go long on the  excellent  new episode of  Agatha All Along . Is this the best Marvel TV episode? Is pre-trauma real? And has Derek ever had his tarot cards read? Find out! Before that:  Blade  disappears from the release schedule! Tom Holland talks  Spider-Man 4 ! And does  Venom: The Last Dance  set up a Sony/MCU crossover in that fourth Spidey film? P...

Can the show live up to last week's stellar episode? Hell yes, it turns out, as things get hotter and hotter for Oz (and some other folks as well).  Homecoming  is a packed episode where a ton of stuff happens and where the status quo changes in major, major ways, and we're here to break it all down. As part of that we ask questions like: does the Chief of Police think Sofia is the Hangm...

It's the Teen backstory we've been waiting for, and even though we all knew who he was, it still lands! And we get to see his side of the interrogation from episode 1. Plus: did they sneak Hulkling into this episode? Before that we have a bit of news, including new  Fantastic Four  images and Tom Holland saying the  Spider-Man 4  script still needs work. What does that mean? And what doe...

What if we got an episode of  The Penguin  and it had almost no Penguin in it and it  was still one of the best episodes of the show so far? This week's installment has Sofia's backstory and really heightens the so-called grounded show to a level that is thrilling and fun.  Before that we have a little bit of news and Derek relays the story of his visit to the Winchester Mystery House. A...

It's a big reveal this week as Teen's true identity becomes known - well, to anyone who reads Marvel Comics, I guess. But don't worry, because we break down just what that crown means and who he is, as well as talk about what did and did not work in this Ouija-tastic outing.  Before that we talk about some dumb life stuff, all the  Lanterns  news and whether we should be criticizing...
