Episode Marvelling at The Marvels: Why all the hate? Cover

Marvelling at The Marvels: Why all the hate?

It’s time for the much-maligned Marvels, where Dave and Oli fail to understand the hate the film got when it was first released, discuss it’s place in the wider Marvel Cinematic Universe including Wandavision and Ms Marvel, and speculate about it’s relation to X-Men, Doomsday and Secret Wars. They also delve into some of the great lines and great performances, the less-than-great baddies, and Oli surprises Dave with a game of “Know Your Codenames.” PLUS: skipping rope playground games, terrible 90s songs and Dolph Lundgren. What’s not to love?! Listen to the end for a twist when it comes to what’s coming up next time. Hint: It’s not Nicepool.  Chapters 00:00:00 Introduction 00:05:49 Film nerdery 00:20:47 Comic geekery 00:39:50 The breakdown 01:15:35 Know Your Codenames! 01:46:42 Kinda post-credits 01:52:06 Summing up 01:56:29 Up next: a twist If you like our show it would mean a lot to us if you rate and review us on Spotify or Apple Podcasts, it really does help us with the algorithm and reaching new audiences of people like you who might enjoy what we're doing.

Episode Guardians Vol 3: Nuance, voices and crying at CGI characters Cover

Guardians Vol 3: Nuance, voices and crying at CGI characters

Dave and Oli take a look at the 32nd film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and dive deep into the pain of knowing what's coming, the joy of Will Poulter and the incredible ability for CGI characters to make you feel the feels. All that plus Oli expands on his theory that none of the Guardians actually knows how to pilot a spaceship and Dave goes super deep on a character with less than five minutes of screen time (because what else is a long-form podcast for?).

Episode Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania – Dynasties, families and Jaws Cover

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania – Dynasties, families and Jaws

It’s Quantumania this week, a film that neither of the boys find themselves getting excited about. Dave gets disappointed at the wasted potential of Kang, Oli laughs about Jaws comparisons, and both of them try to pinpoint the main issues that make it one of their least favourite films of the MCU so far. Also listen out for: Dave making more Red Dwarf references, Oli making excuses for Kang’s future predictions, and both of them trying to decide which bits are going to get cut from the final ep (spoilers: not much - Ed) 00:00:00 Introduction 00:02:56 Film nerdery 00:04:46 Kang Dynasty Detour 00:08:43 More nerdery 00:13:59 Comic geekery 00:28:42 Loki & Homework 00:37:32 Breakdown 00:55:46 MODOC arrives 01:16:21 Fastball special 01:30:26 Should Scott be scared? 01:33:58 SPOILER ALERT: FF First Steps 01:34:29 END SPOILERS 01:38:00 Changing our minds? 01:41:32 Next time… If you like our show it would mean a lot to us if you rate and review us on Spotify or Apple Podcasts, it really does help us with the algorithm and reaching new audiences of people like you who might enjoy what we're doing.

Episode Black Panther: Wakanda Forever — Speedos, breath holds and herbs Cover

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever — Speedos, breath holds and herbs

It’s another Wakanda week as the boys look at the 30th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and manage to disagree on most of the good and bad bits. They dive into (sorry, not sorry) a very long film with some new characters, discussing the adaptation of Namor from speedo-wearing comic Atlanian to trunks-and-chest-piece Talokanil. They also explore shooting underwater and dry-for-wet, breath holds, accidental puns, badly named ships, single-ship navies and a veritable deep-sea trench of other things. Oh, and Dave gets lambasted by Oli for dropping the H off ‘herb.’  00:00:00 Introduction 00:04:12 Film Nerdery 00:14.03 Comic geekery 00:32:38 Breakdown 00:46:42 Namor’s arrival 01:11:08 Or we have suits 01:31:47 I’m clever Fun fact: the episode contains the most extensive use of the Marvelling at the MCU bleep machine since the pod began!  If you like our show it would mean a lot to us if you rate and review us on Spotify or Apple Podcasts, it really does help us with the algorithm and reaching new audiences of people like you who might enjoy what we're doing.

Episode Thor: Love and Thunder — Trying to be nice Cover

Thor: Love and Thunder — Trying to be nice

The boys rattle through the 29th movie in the MCU, trying to find ways to be nice. They talk about the film’s comic origins as a major 616 storyline, the viability of early-stage rumours about the Mighty Thor, and flicking people’s clothes off. They also hit on God bombs, sentient weapons and full showman mode.
