Marvelous! Or, the Death of Cinema

Deadpool, or Red Dead Redditor

We always complain that these movies don't have enough sex or violence, so they gave us one with sex and violence. It's ok. Some of the humor is funny, some of it has aged badly. Has so much changed in just six years? It's a very 2010s movie. A very Reddit movie. We also talk about how TJ Miller is a freak and Morena Baccarin deserves better. Includes bonus Mario movie trailer live reactions (stu soyfacing dot jpg) and other miscellania.

Suicide Squad, or Insane Clown Pussy

There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it I have now surpassed. My pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better world for anyone. In fact, I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape, but even after admitting this, there is no catharsis. My punishment continues to elude me and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself. No new knowledge can be extracted from my telling. This confession has meant nothing.

Batman v Superman, or It’s Not 1938 Anymore

Twist ending: We didn't hate it. DC Jumps into the Cinematic Universe game ass first and Zack Snyder takes a second crack at Watchmen but with official superman and batman action figures. As we've said about cinematic universes: It makes the sum of it's parts weaker. A decent if overblown Batman vs Superman movie is buried under the unmanageable weight of a rushed Death of Superman movie and a terrible Justice League prologue. Three movies is too much! Listen in as Nicole and Stu discuss how American mythos and self-identity is projected onto superhero figures, how these films continue to grapple with the legacy of post 9/11 America, and how a movie that is fundamentally about nostalgia for the golden age of liberalism gets misread as fascist by it's critics... And much much more! It's an extra long episode, but still not as long as the movie (we watched the Ultimate Cut).

Watchmen, or Stu Watches the Watchmen

In delaying their dark fate (i.e. watching the 3+ hour director's cut of Batman v Superman) once more, Nicole and Stu pre-game with Zach Snyder's big-screen adaptation of Watchmen, the definitive Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons anti-superhero comic once deemed unfilmable by Terry Gilliam. More than a decade and several loud, gray, and stupid movies later, how does Snydog's Watchmen hold up? Well, it's not Man of Steel! 
And big ups to our wonderful patrons/producers! If you like what we're doing and want to support us, or think we deserve hazard, subscribe to our Patreon for interpersonal clout and bonus content.

PREVIEW Tremble! Tremble! The Witches Are Back... Suspiria (1977) vs Suspiria (2018) Part 2 [WSE #4]

Modern dance. The RAF and Baader-Meinhoff. Chest vaginas. Human origami. Abject mothers. Metal rib hooks. Thom Yorke. Mennonites. Eating chicken wings. It's Suspiria (2018), a certified Nicole-core movie (one of her favorites actually) that arguably surprasses the legendary original and paves its own fucked-up way in the process. Is that controversial to say? Do you disagree and want to yell at us? Well you're going to have to listen to the whole episode on our Patreon if you want to make a good faith argument and not get laughed at by Nicole. 
For as little as $3 a month, you can not only listen to this and future bonus episodes of Marvelous! (and unlock exclusive content), but you'll be supporting a ginger Canadian shitposter and his Bostonian bimbo co-host survive under the crushing machinery of late-stage capitalism.

All of Them Are Witches: Suspiria (1977) vs. Suspiria (2018) Part 1 [WSE #3]

Double, double, toil and trouble, it's the first of our long teased two-parter Suspiria (1977) vs. Suspiria (2018) episode! On this edition of Watch Something Else, Nicole and Stu discuss Dario Argento's original Technicolor nightmare in all its bloody glory. With the color palette of a demonically possessed Disney movie and the gnarliest score ever recorded for a motion picture, 1977's Suspiria is a cinematic assault on the senses the way movies can and should be (i.e. not financed by the Department of Defense or directed by Zach Snyder). Plus, Stu goes on an inebriated tangent about Canadian cable channels because he thought this was the Patreon exclusive episode.

Ant-Man, or Not the Wright Guy

This fortnight on Marvelous!, Nicole and Stu follow up Avengers 2: Joss Whedon Embarrassing Psychic Projection and finish out Phase Two of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with a smaller-scale movie where Paul Rudd plays a bug guy who steals. Like Iron Man 3, it's okay for inflight entertainment, but it's also the Marvel movie that shows just how controlling Feige and Friends are over the studio's productions. Hey, at least Edgar Wright got to make his Kevin Spacey movie! Plus, a brief check in on Thor: Love and Thunder's box office slump and Taika Waititi's ongoing campaign to make everyone sick of him.
