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

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
Thursday Sep 05, 2024
Thursday Sep 05, 2024
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.

Star Trek '09, or Imbalance of Error (feat. Seqarts)
Thursday Aug 22, 2024
Thursday Aug 22, 2024
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.

Fantastic Four, or Josh Trank and the Wig of Despair
Thursday Aug 08, 2024
Thursday Aug 08, 2024
Coincidentally commemorating the 9 year anniversary of what’s been dubbed one of the worst superhero movies ever made, we watched Josh Trank’s 2015 mega-flop Fantastic Four a.k.a. Fant4stic this week. Doomed from the start by the competing forces of a hot young director and a studio trying to compete with the media conglomerate that will buy them two years later, the resulting attempt to reboot the Fantastic Four into darker, Cronenbergian territory was not so fantastic. It’s stinks actually, but who’s really to blame? Josh Trank? Fox? Kate Mara’s wig? With the MCU’s own iteration of Marvel’s first family on the horizon, the time has finally come for us to figure out exactly what went wrong.
Featuring the debut of our new fourth mic: Kevin Nguyen. He can only say "Hi, I'm Kevin" in a silly voice.

Green Lantern, or Emerald Shitty
Thursday Jul 25, 2024
Thursday Jul 25, 2024
Just in time for Deadpool and Wolverine, we're turning back the clock to 2011 to revisit Ryan "Reddit" Reynolds of Mint Mobile's greatest superhero shame, Green Lantern. Is it really as bad as everyone's made it out to be in the last 13 years? Yes, actually. But it also represents a fascinating transition point where Warner Brothers is trying to catch up to the MCU with their own attempt at Iron Man. The result is a movie that's simultaneously dated for the time it was released and also innovative in helping to make VFX crunches the standard for blockbuster productions. Plus, we plan a very special visit to a Hollywood cemetery to pay our respects.
