Minutes 86–90 open on Steve Rogers doing the thing Steve Rogers does best: shouldering the blame for a man who fell two hundred feet off a moving train, as though he simply should have reached a little further. Natasha, mercifully, tells him to knock... more

Minutes 81 through 85 are, by Pete's official measurement, the single shieldiest stretch in the entire Captain America catalogue — the rare sequence where the shield gets used as an actual shield rather than a vibranium frisbee with commitment issues... more

    The Marvel Movie Minute ‘WAS’ a great podcast. And maybe it will be again. These 2 reviewing Thor: The Dark World, are insufferable. They clearly hate this movie. Please just dump the rest of the episodes so we can get rid of this duo, and start the next movie.

  • Great Analysis, But Remember it's a Minute at a Time

    Fun show, and I love the insights. Sometimes it gets a bit navel-gazing when they forget the context that it's a minute out of a full movie, but they're usually pretty good about calling themselves out. The current season (Avengers 1) has felt a little weird though. They seem really reluctant to praise Whedon by name, but I don't get it. He can be a repugnant human who shouldn't be given more jobs, but also a talented filmmaker and writer. [Kermit drinking tea gif]

  • Great except the criminal wokeism

    Gentlemen, I get it, it’s 2023, and wokeism is mandatory, but cmon! No one’s offended by writing black widow in a sex positive tone.

  • Ads ruin content

    I’ve been listening to your show since the first season and subscribed to your Patreon for a year or two. I don’t mind that you’ve added sponsors, happy you’re getting ad revenue, but the ads themselves are loud, obnoxious, and repetitive at Clockwork Orange levels. I love the content but can’t stand listening anymore. If you had an ad free supported version I’d pay for it.

  • Challenging and Conversational

    You wouldn’t think a single minute would go folks much to talk about, but, lo and behold, the challenge is real. So is the engaging conversation! Well done, gentlemen! I admire your effort.
