SHE-HULK: ATTORNEY-AT-LAW: "A Normal Amount of Rage"

Across the Omniverse ·

2022/08/21

It's a new show! We're here to talk about the first episode of She-Hulk: Attorney-at-Law, billed as the first sitcom in the MCU. But is it all that much funnier than a normal MCU thing?Based on a character who was invented just to avoid someone else having rights to a female Hulk, a character who has become one of the most interesting and fourth-wall breaking characters in Marvel Comics, She-Hulk: Attorney-at-Law certainly has a lot of potential. Does the first episode live up to it or

THE SANDMAN

Across the Omniverse ·

2022/08/13

This week we're talking about Netflix's 10 episode adaptation of the DC/Vertigo comic book series Sandman, by Neil Gaiman and a variety of artists (co-created by Sam Keith). This series is sometimes stunningly faithful to the comic, but there are some changes - some subtle, some aesthetic - that stick in our craws. We also talk about my tragic history of shoplifting, some comic book movie news and whether or not Derek wants a pet. The main discussion begins at 23:07. You may have noticed

BATGIRL Canceled, THE BOYS

Across the Omniverse ·

2022/08/05

This week we go a little long. First we talk about what's happening at Warner Bros Discovery, and in the process almost certainly show how little we know about business. We are not business men! We talk about the cancelation of Batgirl, the plan to have a ten year plan for DC movies, and more.Then we do an hour on The Boys, Amazon Prime's superhero show. I was resistant to watching, but Derek was in from day one. It's a spoiler-filled discussion, so if you haven't watched the

San Diego Comic-Con 2022 Breaking News!

2022/07/25

Marvel and DC came to SDCC and gave us a bounty of new information... well, Marvel did anyway. Things are a little less fulsome on the DC side, but does that mean an unannounced Fandome is in our future?Marvel gave us all of Phase Five, a look at the cornerstones of Phase Six AND the name of this three Phase cycle: The Multiverse Saga. We go long on all of these movies, what they could be, what it could all mean, and what we're most excited about. For me it's definitely Namor.Plus: I share

MS. MARVEL: "No Normal"

Across the Omniverse ·

2022/07/15

With all the 'end of the world' stakes behind us, Ms. Marvel closes out its season with something much more personal. This week we get some information that presages a HUGE change in the MCU, we get a cameo we all expected, and we get some very sweet and emotional moments with the Khan family. Before we talk about that we discuss all kinds of news and stuff, but you can jump to 31:10 if you just don't care to hear us give our bad-brained takes on what's happening in the worlds of

MS. MARVEL: "Seeing Red"

2022/07/01

COVID can't keep a good podcast down, and it can't keep this one down either!This week's Ms. Marvel takes a field trip to Pakistan, introduces a new ancient secret society... and possibly leave the door for Ms. Marvel to be an Inhuman after all?But what about the costume? Is it taking too long to come together, or is the build-up right? And is the prison breakout as bad as we think it is?We will return next week with episode 5! And we will also be back soon on Watch Men with an

MS. MARVEL: "Destined"

Across the Omniverse ·

2022/06/24

This is a crummy day. I feel dumb even uploading this episode today, it's such a crummy day. But the show must go on, and while I hope that you are getting ready for the long fight ahead of us to reclaim bodily autonomy for women, I suspect everybody could use a little distraction from the pain for a bit. Hopefully this episode of Marvelvision can be that for you. This week we talk about the latest episode of Ms. Marvel, where Kamala learns some secrets about her history, we get a canon-crammed

MS. MARVEL: "Crushed"

Across the Omniverse ·

2022/06/17

Is it possible that Ms. Marvel is the best MCU TV show? Two episodes in and the answer so far is yes - but can it keep it up once the plot kicks in?This week we talk about the episode where Kamala Khan takes her first major step as a superhero, a step clearly influenced by the 1978 Superman. This is the kind of heroism that the MCU has been sorely missing, and it's great to see it here. We also talk a lot about news this week, and get a little offtopic as we argue about whether or not it

MS. MARVEL: "Generation Why"

Across the Omniverse ·

2022/06/13

If you listen to our other weekly podcast, The Bad Batch, you know we've been having a hard time with Obi-Wan Kenobi. It's not very good! Which makes the debut of Ms. Marvel all the more wonderful for us - finally something to enjoy on Wednesdays!This show explodes the "Marvel style" and feels fresh, unique and fun. We love the first episode and have high hopes for what's to come. Plus this episode: COVID hits home! A lengthy digression into what a cool movie the life of

THE TRIAL OF THE INCREDIBLE HULK

2022/06/07

Before Affleck. Before Cox. There was... Rex Smith! Broadway legend, singing star, four times wed, and the first person to play a live action Daredevil. And his suit is pretty much the same bad one as the first season Netflix suit!David Bruce Banner has been on the run for eleven years, and in this 1989 TV movie he comes to The City, where he gets mixed up in the battle between Daredevil and Wilson Fisk, who is never called Kingpin and who is played by John Rhys-Davies dressed like an evil record

LEGENDS OF THE SUPERHEROES: "The Roast"

Across the Omniverse ·

2022/05/21

It's the second of the two 1979 DC superheroes live action specials and this one is... better? Less painful? At least that's what Devin feels - Derek found this one sapping his very will to live. In a premise as nonsensical as the jokes, The Roast has Ed McMahan presiding over a roast of the Superfriends - a roast that includes their greatest villains, who show up to do stuff like play doctor and perform song and dance numbers. Plus: Ghetto Man shows up, a concept just as racist as you

LEGENDS OF THE SUPERHEROES: "The Challenge"

Across the Omniverse ·

2022/05/14

With no new Marvel shows this week we have pivoted to covering other live action superhero stuff, and for some ungodly reason we chose Legends of the Superheroes, two live action DC Comics specials from network TV in 1979. Featuring the return of Adam West, Burt Ward and Frank Gorshin to their Batman roles, this first special, The Challenge, is a stunningly inane and unfunny hour that also happens to have some of the most comic-accurate versions of the DC characters ever put on film. Therein lies

MOON KNIGHT: "Gods and Monsters"

Across the Omniverse ·

2022/05/07

The finale is here! Does Moon Knight make it all work? Is there room for a second season? Did they introduce a new superhero who can show up in team-ups instead of Oscar Isaac?Plus: Marvel news! The usual digressions! Skip to 27:24 if you don't care about that stuff. But if you do: we love you. This show will NOT be going dark until Ms. Marvel. We're gonna talk about some stuff that's slightly outside of the remit of the program, just to keep the fun going, but we'll be staying

MOON KNIGHT: "Asylum"

Across the Omniverse ·

2022/04/30

This week Moon Knight heads into the endgame with a... clip show?!? Well, not a clip show but a solidly surreal flashback episode that fills in a lot of the gaps in Moon Knight's history and the origin of Marc Spector's split personality. First we have a bunch of news to go through, including the sad loss of the great Neal Adams. While discussing this we recount an Adams story but get the specifics wrong - it's not Green Arrow who is weirdly racist... it's The Flash!Here's a

MOON KNIGHT: "The Tomb"

Across the Omniverse ·

2022/04/22

Are ya ready to bust some tombs? This episode of Moon Knight takes us deep into adventure archeology, one of the great genres and one we see all too rarely. Then it takes a hard left in the final minutes, giving us some surreality we were not expecting. And all of this without a single appearance of Moon Knight!In the intro we hit the latest comic book movie news, including the continued plight of Ezra Miller, the new Thor: Love and Thunder trailer and more. If that stuff doesn't interest you,

Marvelvision: MOON KNIGHT: "A Friendly Type"

Across the Omniverse ·

2022/04/15

This week we have some questions, including why is that guy tugging on Moon Knight's cape and why is Marc Spector asking rando guys in the street about the location of a sarcophagus? And isn't there a website that will let you look at what the stars were like in the past?But don't take these questions for complaints; Moon Knight episode three continues the show's streak of feeling a lot like a comic book, complete with things happening because they're cool as opposed to

Marvelvision: MOON KNIGHT: "Summon the Suit"

Across the Omniverse ·

2022/04/08

This week we summon the soup as we continue our adventure in the world of Moon Knight, the new MCU show currently on Disney+. Moon Knight so far has been pretty darn cool, and it feels very unlike other previous Marvel stuff. This episode in particular leans into some cool horror stuff... that, weirdly enough, echoes imagery seen in this weekend's latest Marvel masterpiece (please read the sarcasm), Morbius. In this episode of Marvelvision we talk about Marc Spector's different identities

2022/04/01

Hey, remember us? It's the Marvelvision boys, and we're back with a new Marvel show! We did a little diversion into Peacemaker and then took a few weeks off, but we have returned and we are ensconced in the old MCU again. Or are we? .This is one of the subjects tackled in this week's Marvelvision, about the first episode of Moon Knight. The showrunners have said that they disconnected this show from the larger Marvel Universe, so we shouldn't expect a lot of connections, nods or

PEACEMAKER: "It's Cow Or Never"

2022/02/21

It's a 50th episode extravaganza! It's the finale of season one of Peacemaker! It's a floor wax! It's a dessert topping!Season one of Peacemaker comes to a bloody end as the 11th Street Kids confront the cow. We talk about the surprising cameo at the end, how James Gunn is seemingly leading the DCEU now, and whether or not the new Flash movie is going to be any good. We'll be taking a short hiatus after this episode, but we will return for Moon Knight in a month! Don't
