  • Love!

    I like all the hosts but I’m quite fond of Nicole in particular, I feel like she has well thought out view points and a great grasp on media literacy. I appreciate these types of podcasts and critiques as I’m sick of the over saturated stinky marvel market

  • Basic

    A podcast for people who strongly believe hating popular things is a personality. Lots of very forced “witty” commentary that’ll may cause you to feel second-hand embarrassment for the hosts. A bonus is very surface-level critiques, but not really about the actual movie they’re meant to be discussing. If you’re into that sort of thing, enjoy. 😬🤷‍♀️

  • Marvelous!, or Why You Should Listen to Marvelous!

    An excellent show critical of modern day blockbuster filmmaking. All the hosts bring a very different energy and area of expertise and it leads to some great banter overall. They don’t hold back and that might turn some listeners off but their unflinching criticism is exactly why it’s worth listening.
