Marvelous! Or, the Death of Cinema

By: Nicole Veneto Tyrell James and Cole
  • Summary

  • 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 (@RaceplayShawty). 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!!!!!
    Nov 22 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
    Nov 15 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.

    Thank you to our $10 Executive Producers: Isaac, Walt Lewellyn of The Black Casebook, Kevin Feige doing the Shmurda Dance, Jim (shout out to Jim!), jprestonpoole, Sam, Lohik, bernventers, and Owen2.

  • Halloween Special: Creepshow, or the (Stephen) King of Comedy
    Nov 1 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.
