Suicide Squad, or Insane Clown Pussy

There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it I have now surpassed. My pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better world for anyone. In fact, I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape, but even after admitting this, there is no catharsis. My punishment continues to elude me and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself. No new

Batman v Superman, or It’s Not 1938 Anymore

Marvelous! Or, the Death of Cinema ·

2022/09/02

Twist ending: We didn't hate it. DC Jumps into the Cinematic Universe game ass first and Zack Snyder takes a second crack at Watchmen but with official superman and batman action figures. As we've said about cinematic universes: It makes the sum of it's parts weaker. A decent if overblown Batman vs Superman movie is buried under the unmanageable weight of a rushed Death of Superman movie and a terrible Justice League prologue. Three movies is too much! Listen in as Nicole and Stu discuss how

Watchmen, or Stu Watches the Watchmen

In delaying their dark fate (i.e. watching the 3+ hour director's cut of Batman v Superman) once more, Nicole and Stu pre-game with Zach Snyder's big-screen adaptation of Watchmen, the definitive Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons anti-superhero comic once deemed unfilmable by Terry Gilliam. More than a decade and several loud, gray, and stupid movies later, how does Snydog's Watchmen hold up? Well, it's not Man of Steel! And big ups to our wonderful patrons/producers!

PREVIEW Tremble! Tremble! The Witches Are Back......

Modern dance. The RAF and Baader-Meinhoff. Chest vaginas. Human origami. Abject mothers. Metal rib hooks. Thom Yorke. Mennonites. Eating chicken wings. It's Suspiria (2018), a certified Nicole-core movie (one of her favorites actually) that arguably surprasses the legendary original and paves its own fucked-up way in the process. Is that controversial to say? Do you disagree and want to yell at us? Well you're going to have to listen to the whole episode on our Patreon if you want to make a good

All of Them Are Witches: Suspiria (1977) vs. Suspiria...

Marvelous! Or, the Death of Cinema ·

2022/08/04

Double, double, toil and trouble, it's the first of our long teased two-parter Suspiria (1977) vs. Suspiria (2018) episode! On this edition of Watch Something Else, Nicole and Stu discuss Dario Argento's original Technicolor nightmare in all its bloody glory. With the color palette of a demonically possessed Disney movie and the gnarliest score ever recorded for a motion picture, 1977's Suspiria is a cinematic assault on the senses the way movies can and should be (i.e. not financed by the

Ant-Man, or Not the Wright Guy

This fortnight on Marvelous!, Nicole and Stu follow up Avengers 2: Joss Whedon Embarrassing Psychic Projection and finish out Phase Two of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with a smaller-scale movie where Paul Rudd plays a bug guy who steals. Like Iron Man 3, it's okay for inflight entertainment, but it's also the Marvel movie that shows just how controlling Feige and Friends are over the studio's productions. Hey, at least Edgar Wright got to make his Kevin Spacey movie! Plus, a brief check in on

Avengers: Age of Ultron, or the One Where Joss Whedon...

Marvelous! Or, the Death of Cinema ·

2022/07/08

In his follow up to the most reaction GIFed movie ever made, feminist filmmaker Joss Whedon buckles under his own ego and the studio mandated checklist Kevin Feige and co. needed him to fulfill in order to set up Phase 3 movies. This episode of Marvelous!, Nicole and Stu dissect Avengers: Age of Ultron, the divisive sequel to The Avengers where another Olsen twin and not Evan Peters team up with the gang to stop an unsexy robot played by movie sex symbol James Spader from doing evil human genocide

Guardians of the Galaxy, or Funko Pops Assemble!

2022/06/23

After the success of Avengers, the MCU was burgeoning into a colossus, and Disney found itself in desperate need of Intellectual Property to enlist in it's conquest of popular culture. They take a risk: A cult director with a pedigree in sicko schlock, a far fletched cosmic setting, and a d-list cast of offbeat throwoffs including a talking raccoon and a tree. What did they get? A smash hit and a money printing machine. What did we get? A perfectly fine mainstream blockbuster. Nicole and Stu take a

It's conspiracies and queerbaiting as we get to possibly the most disappointingly overrated and bafflingly well remembered of these movies so far. We discuss a conspiracy thriller without a thrilling conspiracy, the problems with green-screen action and quick-cut editing, how the film inverts the relationship between the US Gov't and post-war Nazis, the continuing hollowness of hollywood 'war on terror' feaux-critiques, and Nicole guides Stu into the weird, wild world of horny fandom, queer

Thor 2, or Lame of Thrones

Marvelous! Or, the Death of Cinema ·

2022/05/25

Thor is back for another aimless, dull adventure in Thor 2: The Dark World. Why do they keep shoving Thor's sidekicks on screen with nothing to do? Why do all these movies have pale black-cad bad guys in big pointy black ships? How come Natalie Portman stops being a character twenty minutes into the movie? Did studio interference actually make this movie slightly less terrible? Is genocide only bad if you're not good enough at it? Join Nicole and Stu for all this and much more as we discuss the
