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 (@aryanblackgirl). 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

TEASER: Animation IS Cinema!!!!!
Thursday Nov 21, 2024

We take a brave stance on our Patreon Raffle episode for the 2009 CGI Astro Boy that bankrupted a studio that animated movies for children should be good, or even cinema.

Black Widow, or Red (Ledger) Scare
Thursday Nov 14, 2024
Thursday Nov 14, 2024
We return to our regularly scheduled timeline and the MCU with one of COVID's most high profile release victims: Black Widow. It's a movie at least five years too late to be of any value and literally ends with Natasha saving ALL women. You probably know about the lawsuit between Scarlett Johansson and Disney about how co-releasing the movie on Disney+ fucked her bag up, but did you also know Disney was going to pay the original creators of Yelena Belova/White Widow a few thousand dollars as compensation for Florence Pugh playing their character? Just business as usual.

Halloween Special: Creepshow, or the (Stephen) King of Comedy
Thursday Oct 31, 2024
Thursday Oct 31, 2024
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.
Special thanks to our Executive Producer tier Patrons: Isaac, Walt Lewellyn of The Black Casebook, Kevin Feige doing the Shmurda Dance, Owen2, bernventers, Lohik, Jim (shout out to Jim!), jprestonpoole, Sam, Porridge Fist and Ronnie Gardocki

X-Men: Days of Future Past, or Magneto Bullet Theory
Thursday Oct 17, 2024
Thursday Oct 17, 2024
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)
Thursday Oct 10, 2024
Thursday Oct 10, 2024
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
Thursday Oct 03, 2024
Thursday Oct 03, 2024
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?

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.
