Marvelous! Or, the Death of Cinema

Halloween Special: Creepshow, or the (Stephen) King of Comedy

It's a very special Halloween episode as the gang covers the classic EC-comics inspired 1982 George Romero/Stephen King anthology film Creepshow. Our conversation includes: The strengths of the anthology format, the history of moral panics, how much creatively minded boomers hated their dads, EC comics and the comics code, scary Leslie Neilson, and King's memorable turn as doomed simpleton farmer Jordy Verrill.

X-Men: Days of Future Past, or Magneto Bullet Theory

X-Men: Days of Future Past is notable for three things. The first is that it splits the timeline continuity between the old X-Men movies directed by (allegedly) sex pests towards underage boys or adult women with the new ones that will eventually bring us to Dark Phoenix and New Mutants taking Fox's outing with Marvel off a cliff, and in doing so innovates the now lucrative concept of the "multiverse." The second is that aforementioned sex pest towards underage boys (allegedly) is back to directing an X-Men movie and now we have to talk about him. The third is that JFK is a mutant.

TEASER: Diverse Racial Weapons Auction (feat. Ty)

In one of our many silly tangents about Steel Cole laments that there aren't enough big third act scenes where the climax is a weapons auction to different stereotypical racial ethnicities, seemingly forgetting about Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Ty is also here.

Kick Gyatts, or The Reappraisal of Mark Millar By The Coward Java Jigga

Finally, our most off topic episode. Like a Millarworld comic we've got dick and fart jokes, imminently dated jokes about what's in the news, and a slight fixation on race in maybe our most off topic episode yet. Maybe in 15 years Netflix will give us like 10 billion dollars to produce a live action version of the podcast that will be canceled after one season. Did anyone else ever watch the netflix released Jupiter's Legacy show?

Avatar, or They Done Screwed Up and Let Coal Upload an Episode (ft. John The DiLillo)

Did any of you guys get the pandora mental illness? I didn't for the first one but now I think I'd fuck a blue lady if she looked white enough. Do you guys read these? Anyways stu and nicole are having a JO sesh at the local theater so they let me do this and I had to spend like 45 minutes figuring out the login because nobody knows what the podcast email is. Anyways we had a great time with the homie john on this one.

X-Men: First Class, or No Darwin No Peace

So here's a movie everyone misremembers as being really good: X-Men: First Class. Not directed by a serial rapist pedophile or rampant sex pest of adult women, but by certified hack slop directed Matthew Vaughn a.k.a. Matthew Allard de Vere Drummond. It's the first of Fox's nu-X-Men movies in a saga that will end in Dark Phoenix (or New Mutants, however the fuck this canon goes). Basically we watched Star Trek again because this is also a prequel overstuffed with fanservice and weird shit about women. Made to be watched on FX with commercial breaks or by teenage girls projecting yaoi fanfic onto young Professor X and Magneto. Stu begins this episode in the closet and ends it in the closet running a 102 degree fever.

TEASER: Live Kang Reaction

Jonathan Majors couldn't stop doing DV and now they're giving an unfounded amount of money to Robert Downey Jr. and his brand new Oscar to come back as Doctor Doom. All that and more Marvel news covered in this Special Report.

Star Trek '09, or Imbalance of Error (feat. Seqarts)

It's finally time for us to delve into a massive franchise we have yet to cover on the pod: Star Trek. Before J.J. Abrams was handed the keys to Star Wars to run into a brick wall and the hack fraud writing duo Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci gave us whatever the fuck the Tom Cruise Mummy movie was, they rebooted Trek with a glossy blockbuster prequel everyone loved and had absolutely no issues with. Does it really hold up after all these year? Three out of four podcasters say no, it doesn't. (Guess which one of us said it's alright. Hint: it wasn't Nicole.) We're joined by Trekkie/friend of the show/food wizard/beloved Discord moderator Seqarts to discuss all things Star and Trek.
