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

The New Mutants, or X-Men, Interrupted
Thursday Jun 27, 2024
Thursday Jun 27, 2024
Remember that one poster you saw at the theater back in 2017 for that X-Men spin-off that you kept waiting to come out and never did, only to one day find it was playing at a movieplex near you in the middle of COVID? It's The New Mutants, the final installment in Fox's X-Men franchise victimized by both the Disney buyout and being the product of the guy who directed The Fault in Our Stars trying to make a horror movie for Freeform teenagers (among a bunch of other things). And in a shocking turn of events, Cole actually liked this one and thinks it's one of (if not the) best X-Men movies ever. Nicole and Stu thus spend significant time reacting to this unforeseen break in the ranks.

I know tons of you probably hate Assassination Nation and anything else Sam Levinson touches but what if I told you there's some insight to be mined from this movie?

Sonic the Hedgehog, or Chaos Uncontrolled (feat. Andy yet again)
Thursday Jun 13, 2024
Thursday Jun 13, 2024
It's finally time to talk about Paramount's live action-animated hybrid Sonic the Hedgehog starring Jean-Ralphio as Sonic, every kid's favorite movie star James Marsden talking to another CGI animal, and Jim Carrey as Robotnik on Ozempic. Our favorite boy/Sonic-enthusiast Andy (@Ex_AnarchoAnon) from TGOFV returns once again to discuss the results. Everything basically turns to chaos. Stu literally begged us to end the episode. Don't worry, we talk about Ugly Sonic before that though.

Somehow in the middle of our discussion on Belladonna of Sadness we entered a tangent about Bear in the Big Blue House.

Birds of Prey, or I, Harley Quinn (feat. Fabiola Liaño)
Thursday May 30, 2024
Thursday May 30, 2024
We're cracking open our brief excursion into 2020 with one of the last movies to get a theatrical run before COVID shut everything down. Women finally got their own Deadpool starring and produced by mega-star of the moment Margot Robbie. Against her better critical judgement, Nicole enjoyed this one for the incredibly flawed and messy thing that it is because women can have a junk food treat sometimes. Cole and Stu basically hated it. To help us break down whether or not women have the right to be annoying, we're joined by returning guest and fellow Robbie Quinn enjoyer Fabiola Liaño (@fabiola_liano) of It's Giving Camp to discuss the pop cultural figure of Harley Quinn, Grace Randolph spreading misinformation, the inherent appeal of unruly women to female audiences, and how this movie botches adapting the Birds of Prey comic series and its associated characters into a terminally pop feminist narrative about emancipation and wearing cute outfits or something. Somehow we managed to discuss this movie for slightly longer than Furiosa, and all without yelling at each other because we're friends first and foremost.

Train to Busan, or Trains, Brains, and Negligent Fathers
Thursday May 16, 2024
Thursday May 16, 2024
We're going international baby to see how other countries do their blockbusters! (Super producer and editor Miguel) picked, you (paying Patrons) voted: 2016's Train to Busan, South Korea's hit zombie flick . You're probably more than aware that South Korean movies (and a lot of their recent cultural exports) have been dog walking the slop America's been putting out recently, and for good reason. We talk a little bit about that, but mostly we go off the rails a lot talking about trains.

Spider-Man: Far From Home, or Batalon Royale
Thursday May 02, 2024
Thursday May 02, 2024
Right off the back of the milestone of watching/shitting on Avengers: Endgame, followed it up with another Spider-Man movie, and to nobody's surprise it literally doesn't matter. This is an anime beach episode that has no bearing on anything else that happens in a cinematic universe. Spider-Man accidentally drones a school bus driving through the Czech Republic to get back at fakeass Charles Melton for taking revenge porn of him, and somehow it doesn't feel as insane as it should be. Everyone is so fucking tired here! Except for Jacob Batalon. Love that guy, let him be James Bond.
