Across the Omniverse

This week I yell at my cat live on mic! In the spirit of transparency in which I try to operate I left it in, as well as Derek disapproving of how I deal with the cat. Are other Marvel podcasts brave enough to do this? It's a Gambit-centric episode of  X-Men , and we don't like Gambit! However, this show is so reliably goofy that we had a great time. Also: I talk about being a sweaty wei...

Eh you hoser, it's time to head to the Great White North as this episode tackles more of Wolverine's origin. Alpha Flight shows up, and so do some very sad robots.  We also go very, very long on the intro. Very long. Like, skip to 51: 47 if you don't want all kinds of news and views and to hear Derek get upset about using the soundboard.  Next week: more X-Men! In the meantime, join...

Hey, we're back. Remember us? It's been a bit of an unintended break, but we have returned with an episode of  X-Men  that has no bearing on modern politics at all, one where Russian fascists try to reabsorb old nations from the USSR. Totally unrelatable in 2023.  But first we have a lot of BSing to do! 49 solid minutes of it! If you don't want to hear us talking news and nonsense,...

This podcast has somehow hit 100 episodes, believe it or not, and we celebrated by doing a live chat with listeners on our Discord. Where, you ask, is our Discord? Why it's accessible to all subscribers on the Patreon - even those at the $1 level! - and it's a pretty great place where people hang out and chat and, today at least, share pictures of their cute as hell dogs.  We tried to ma...

This week the X-Men are globetrotters, as our storylines take them to Africa, Brazil and Antartica. Morph gets sexy with Wolverine! Rogue throws a boulder at some smoke! Professor X gets snow on his head! Also: we talk about all the comic book movie news, including speculating about where Shang-Chi will show up next, and also I reveal who I heard Steve Yuen is playing in  Thunderbolts . Let's...

Scott and Jean are married? But are they? Or has the worst happened and they are actually living in sin? Scott will never be the same. This is the episode that introduces Mister Sinister and his, I swear to God, Nasty Boys. It's also the episode that raises the question of what Sinister was doing cruising the park in full costume at night.  Al Pacino, is that you? We also catch up on our live...

Scott and Jean get married, and Wolverine is not too happy about it. Also not happy: Morph, who it turns out  did not  die in series pilot but has been hanging around in the same pair of clothes ever since. All of this happens as anti-mutant hysteria reaches critical levels, and Beast is starting to wonder if he should have stayed in jail.  In the intro we do lots of news, including  The Flash  tr...

After many weeks away we return to X-Men: The Animated Series , and it’s the season one finale. It’s a big one - how big? So big that Professor X does a suicide bombing mission in a plane full of clearly marked TNT. It’s wild.  Before that we have a very lengthy news segment. We talk about Marvel’s Midnight Suns , a new Marvel superheroes video game that we both love and that is much weirder than...

We are back! If you don't subscribe to the Patreon ( www.patreon.com/cinemasangha ) you won't know why this show was dark for two weeks. The short answer is that I had a serious family health crisis. The long answer you'll get in the opening minutes of this show.  But we are back... without  X-Men: The Animated Series . Instead we are dropping an episode talking about the big DCU an...

This week we mourn the ways the world has changed, making Quik and Twinkies worse than ever before. We talk about  MIdnight Sons , which is essentially an Avengers friendship simulator, and we discuss why it's cool that Ant-Man gets to go from being a between phases palate cleanser to being the big kick-off of Phase Five. And there's some really astonishing trivia this week as well.  Don...

The animated series tackles one of the most famous  X-Men  stories of all, a story that has inspired countless imitators and even a movie - Days of Future Past! But they meld the story with another time traveling plot, introducing face-tattooed Bishop to the gang.  This week we talk about the news out there in comic book movie land, including the latest scuttlebutt about Dwayne "The Rock&quot...

A quick note: we recorded this episode before it was revealed that Jeremy Renner had been in a serious accident, which is why we make no mention of it. Our thoughts are with him and his family. This week on MarvelVision we cover the 10th episode of X-Men: The Animated Series , which introduces the Four Horsemen and also a guy who has a Chia Pet growing on his head or something. Hard to know with t...

Here's a special holiday treat for you - a free episode of one of our other podcasts, The Bad Batch! That show is about  Star Wars  TV shows, but this episode is a special one: I went to Disneyland's Galaxy's Edge and these are my thoughts about the experience. What was supposed to be a very quick 15 minute podcast got much bigger much faster, but that's just because I was exci...

Enter... Apokolips! In all his clown make-up glory.  This week's episode gets us a Rogue origin, the introduction of even more mutants, the anti-climactic resolution of the mystery of Professor X's disappearance and Cable doing a big scare from behind both a book shelf  and  a door. Also this week: Devin went to the Avengers Campus at Disneyland and he talks about the experience! Also th...

This one is a little late - sorry! Lot going on here at the moment, but that's not a great excuse. At any rate! This week's episode we cover more breaking comic book world news (there's a lot of it all the time these days) and we watch a very strange episode where the X-Men are and are not familiar with the Juggernaut, his history, his powers and how to defeat him. PlusL Colossus sh...

Half the X-Men are in serious trouble and the other half of the X-Men are trying to make long distance phone calls! This week the Genosha two-parter concludes as Gambit betrays all of his friends and we get a veritable cornucopia of cameos from the likes of Sunfire, the Blob, Domino and more.  On the other side of things: we have some Marvel and DC movie and TV news, including new  Loki  season tw...

It's the most wonderful time of the year - when we get a new Marvel Studios Special Presentation. This time it's  The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special , a delightful and charming and funny and sweet show that puts the "Christ! What were you thinking!" back into Christmas.  This week we wax rhapsodic about James Gunn, I reveal what made me cry in the special, and we discu...

This episode Wolverine and Sabertooth duke it out in the Arctic while making the lives of a bunch of Inuit absolutely miserable. Meanwhile, Gambit, Storm and Jubilee go on vacation to the island nation of Genosha and Gambit doesn't take off his jacket one time. Before all of that we talk news and other junk, including the latest box office, the shocking return of Bob Iger to Disney and how Bl...

Gotta let you know up front that there is a character in this episode of X-Men who has a fairly racist name. The 20th century was just kinda like that sometimes. It's not even a particularly good episode! It semi-adapts a great storyline from the comics featuring the Morlocks (many of whom were later brutally slain) but it doesn't have the bonkers je ne sais quoi of the first few eps of...

This week the X-Men once again prove they are absolutely not ready to take on an enemy like Magneto as they repeat the exact same tactical errors they made last episode - but also add on a couple of new ones for good measure. It's an all-trauma ep as we go into the minds of Sabertooth, Storm and Magneto and see what PTSD haunts their broken minds. Also: Derek laughs so hard one of his contact...

Why are they milking Sabertooth? This is just one of the questions we tackle on this week's episode of X-Men: The Animated Series . Magneto, the most famous X villain, is introduced, and quite wisely the people involved in this Saturday morning cartoon show decided to decouple his origin from the Holocaust. Also: a lot of great scenes of Wolverine being a total pain in the ass. In the intro w...

We come to you with an emergency episode to talk about the big news: James Gunn is taking over the DCEU! What does this mean for DC? What does it mean for  Supergirl  and the Black Superman movie? And, in an incredible bit of timing, the  Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special  trailer dropped. We have all that and more in this special episode!

We are between new MCU TV shows, and that means we have to turn our attention to something a little bit older to fill the time. With the upcoming release of  X-Men '97 , a sequel to the  X-Men: The Animated Series  from the 90s, we figured that  The Animated Series  made a lot of sense for our off-season watch.  Every week we'll do a new episode of the animated series, taking a break whe...

It's the season finale, and She-Hulk doesn't just break the fourth wall, she fully obliterates it. But does it work? This becomes the bone of contention between your two humble hosts who argue  very heavily about that question for like the last 40 minutes of the episode. You've been warned.  We will return next week with our next Marvel TV show:  X-Men: The Animated Series . Yup, in...

No, you're not seeing things - Marvelvision is really back with  another  episode! We're dropping this special ep to talk about the Marvel Special Presentation of  Werewolf by Night , a Halloween-y hour long black and white monster mash that introduces the titular Werewolf by Night and the Man-Thing, as well as Elsa Bloodstone.  But is it any good? Does it hit the marks it is setting for...
