...According to letterboxd, anyway, but your pals at Marvelous! aren't quite so sanguine. From Phil Lord's tyrannical rule of production to the tedium of infinite spiders-men and the so-facile-it-might-be-accidental queer representation - we dig into... more
After concluding our long patreon-exclusive retrospective on the series, we arrive at last back in 2023 with Fast X, the bloated, messy, chaotic beginning of the end for the 'Fast Family'. Along the way we discuss Justin Lin's sudden exit, too much b... more

Love the concept, love the hosts, a really good listen.
I wish they would buy a quieter mouse for the guy who clicks constantly during recording.
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
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. 😬🤷♀️
Cole is funny but please you gotta stop interrupting so much my guy

A sharp, humorous critique of modern blockbuster cinema driven by IP, franchises, and marketing machineries. Conversations span a wide array of films and topics—from LGBTQ+ survivor narratives in indie cinema to the ethics of big-budget adaptations and the hype machine around marketing campaigns—always with a skeptical eye toward how studios monetize nostalgia. The show blends witty banter with thoughtful commentary on representation, production choices, and the cultural impact of mega-franchises, making it appealing to listeners who enjoy candid takes, industry context, and cultural critique. Its standout angle is a persistent, no-holds-barred skepticism of megaflops while still celebrating clever writing, strong performances, and memorabl... more
