Marvelous! Or, the Death of Cinema

Trending viral number one podcast Marvelous! Or the Death of Cinema trending viral number one movie Avatar: The Way of Water. 

I see you. Yes, you. Eywa knows what you've done and she's ashamed of you. On christmas no less. Do the Na'vi celebrate christmas? Or is it more of a Life Day situation. Your sins aside, we're back on Pandora with our buddy wandering filmic troubadour John Delillo talking the Way of Water. We all loved it e...

The cynics strike back! Guest Alice Moody joins the gang for the ritual slaughter of a sacred cow, the Widely awarded, critically lauded and enormously popular Everything Everywhere All at Once. Along the way we try and examine what what made this movie so popular, and what puts us in the small minority of people who dislike (or even hate) it - ranging from the writing and production, to it's absurdist and 'metamodern' philosophica...

He was chosen by the Wizard Shazam as a baby boy, messed up his head and even changed the hierarchy of power. More like Brap Adam as the gang dive into The Rock's attempted takeover of Warner Bros.

We delay having to have a conversation about Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time by positing a new hypothetical nobody else in the world has ever considered: what if goatse was a portal to another dimension?

Happy Halloween everybody! Here's our scariest offering yet: a failson vanity project by a Getty scion who did so much meth it ultimately killed him

Friend of the show and man who was not torn apart by dogs on October 26th 2025 as foretold by Afroman, Thomsen (@mood_probiotic), joins us to talk about 2017's The Evil Within (original title The Storyteller), the first and last film by Andrew Getty, brought to you by decades of billio...

This week on the pod your three favorite shithead haters find another thing to tell you sucks. Only this time, it's a movie everyone loves: Top Gun: Maverick, the sterile, Lockheed Martin sponsored legacy sequel to Tony Scott's (RIP) 1986 Air Force recruitment blockbuster that's equally as jingoistic but lacks the benefit of pure eighties cheese. We're mass issuing "fell for military propaganda" awards to people who should have kno...

Friend and critic Jake Tropila, bravely joins us to talk about the third Jurassic World movie, which is the sixth Jurassic Park movie, in which the fist film's septuagenarian cast is reunited to putter vacantly around a lab looking at big grasshoppers. Meanwhile, in Malta, Chris Pratt does the "talk to the hand" at every dinosaur he meets and it works for some reason. It's a cavalcade of bad performances, bad direction, and terribl...

Pulp month comes to a close and we get back to business as the gang discusses Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Disney and Ryan Coogler's brief Eulogy for Chadwick Boseman and the over-two-hour postscript in which they desperately cast around for replacements for all the guys that retired before Covid. An origin film for not only a new Black Panther, but a new Iron Man Jr. and completely revamped "Namor: The Sub-Mariner", they could'...

In our final Pulp Month outing before we return for duty back at the IP slop mines, we watched the Warren Beatty vanity/autistic-passion project Dick Tracy, yet another attempt by Disney to play catch up to Warner Bros. and Batman. A nearly $50 million black tank-top movie shot by the DP of The Bird with the Crystal Plumage where Al Pacino in heavy prosthetics eats out the scenery and Madonna blasts nip. And in our most brain damag...

He can cloud men's minds with braps of mediocrity. We continue our foray into Pulp Month with our first actual pulp character, The Shadow, starring Alec "walkemdown" Baldwin as the titular character.

We return to our 'International Blockbusters' series with a conversation about S.S. Rajamouli's breakout Telugu-language historical action romance. As complete outsiders to the world's largest and most diverse film culture, we try our level best to situate the film in a historical and cultural context, interpret it's nationalist politics, and discuss what makes India's maximalist 'Masala' blended-genre blockbusters both similiar an...

Is it Ang Lee's Hulk as bad as everyone says, or a forgotten gem? In a rare confluence of reality and trite aphorism, the truth may be somewhere in the middle.

Oh my god shut the fuck up!!!!!! I'm going to turn these goddamn screaming meme goats into curry I swear to god.

It's another demoralizing Marvel movie. You guys like these episodes huh? You like listening to us inflict great pain on ourselves? Well this one's a two hour Old Spice commercial that inexplicably costs $200 million and pisses away whatever good will Taika Waititi ever had. Wherein one of us takes very personal issue wi...

On this jerkin' (FREE BONUS!!!!!) episode of the Girl Mode subseries, Nicole is joined by the iconic multi-hyphenate visionary behind Fucktoys, Annapurna Sriram, to discuss the once maligned and deeply misunderstood Y2K pop satire Josie and the Pussycats, another cult camp classic proudly reclaimed by the girls (and the gays) as the Best Movie Ever. Before Riverdale updated and franchised the Archie Comics for modern audiences, A V...
