Podcasts about Captain Marvel

Natasha Romanoff. Daughter. Sister. Avenger.Natasha made her Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in Iron Man 2 as a mysterious S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, quickly becoming a core member of the Avengers despite lacking superpowers. The character evolved from a supporting femme fatale into one of the MCU's most complex heroes; a former Russian child assassin grappling with her dark past while seeking redemption through heroic acts, and finally finding a family. Her journey culminated in the ultimate sacrifice in Avengers: Endgame, giving her life to obtain the Soul Stone and save the universe.Marvel had been talking about a solo Black Widow film for years since her 2010 debut, but it had never come to pass. It's not the first time a solo film had been talked about for Natasha Romanoff. Lions Gate held the rights to the character in the early 2000s, but that movie idea was scuppered due to the failure of other female-led action movies. Black Widow's solo film finally arrived in 2021, making it an eleven-year wait from her MCU introduction. The delay was attributed to Marvel's former leadership's reluctance to greenlight female-led superhero films, concerns about their commercial viability, as well as the planned Infinity Saga narrative needing to focus on introducing other characters, like Black Panther and Captain Marvel. Black Widow would give fans a much-needed backstory for Natasha, as well as introduce her sister, Yelena. The importance of both characters extends beyond individual heroism to representation. Natasha proved female characters could carry major action sequences and emotional weight in the MCU, while Yelena's introduction ensures the Black Widow legacy continues, representing a new generation of complex female heroes who can anchor future MCU stories.I would love to hear your thoughts on Black Widow (2021) !Verbal Diorama is now an award-winning podcast!

The Shi'ar threat draws near! In New X-Men #123, Jean Grey takes center stage, hosting a high-profile media event at the Xavier Institute just as an intergalactic assault looms overhead. 

Recorded live at Terrificon, this conversation brings together three of Marvel's most influential Bronze Age creators—Jim Starlin, Steve Englehart, and Al Milgrom—to share stories from the wild, experimental days of the 1970s comic book industry.From Starlin's cosmic epics with Captain Marvel and Warlock, to Englehart's politically charged Captain America and groundbreaking Avengers and Batman runs, to Milgrom's steady hand as artist, inker, and editor across Captain Marvel, and Avengers—this panel is packed with history, humor, and behind-the-scenes tales of working at Marvel during a time of radical creativity. Whether it's the birth of Thanos, the rise of long-form continuity, the shaping of Marvel's cosmic landscape, or the day-to-day chaos of 1970s bullpen life, this discussion is a must for fans of comics history.

The whole gang is back together this week AND they've all watched Fantastic Four, so we revist that with a full spoiler review, the move on to Nonna's, Freaky Tales, Twisted Metal, and Project Runway. APNC has always been a show that loves the MCU. Heck, the first episode ever was about Captain Marvel (not to date ourselves...), so to have the opportunity to have a full spoiler discussion about the Fantastic Four was something we weren't going miss, even though we just discussed it last week. Getting Andrew's take from the more seasoned MCU angle and Lauren from the less indoctrinated side leads to some great discussions and generates some really solid discussion about what this movie means for super hero movies going forward. After that discussion, Lauren takes over and discusses the film Nonna's on Netflix. It stars Vince Vaugnn in a less over the top role than usual in a story that's based on a real restaurant. Rather than hiring traditional chefs, a restauranteur hires a handful of Italian grandma's (nonna's) to make the food. It's a heartwarming story about the initial struggles and ultimate success of a very niche restaurant. The review sounds lovely, as does the restaurant. If you're ever in Staten Island, give it (and the movie) a shot! Next up, Andrew takes us back in time the Bay Area with Freaky Tales. It's 4 intertwining takes, a la Pulp Fiction, that come together at the end. Much like every other film or TV show this year, it stars Pedro Pascal, but also Ben Mendelsohn, rapper Too $hort, and Jay Ellis. It's not kid friendly, so watch when you have the TV to yourself, but it's a solid watch and a great story. Slingshotting back to the future, Kevin discusses the return of the post apocalyptic series, Twisted Metal, on Peacock. This one stars Anthonay Mackie and Stephanie Beatriz as drivers in a world where you are never truly safe unless you're moving. Despite the world it's set in, this show is a ton of fun and it requires no knowledge of the video game it's based on to enjoy, so if over the top mayhen and witty dialogue (and Kevin's favorite Mackie performance) is your jam, give this one a shot for sure.  Lauren closes the show with a quick review of the new season of Project Runway. It sees the return of Heidi as the host, but lacks some of the old Project Runway magic without Tim Gunn. It's only 2 episodes in, so far, and the challenges have been less than stellar, but it's a long haul, so there is definitely  room for improvement as the season rolls on.  As always, thank you for watching. If you haven't already, don't forget to Like & Subscribe. We love new viewers! Also, leave us comments and let is know how we are doing and what we can be doing better.

Tauche mit uns ein in einen vielseitigen Filmtalk, in dem wir die Kultkomödie Happy Gilmore (1996) sowie das lang ersehnte Happy Gilmore 2 ausführlich besprechen. Wir beleuchten Adams Sandlers Rückkehr als unkonventioneller Golfheld, zahlreiche Cameos (u.a. Bad Bunny, Travis Kelce) und nostalgische Rückblenden mit emotionalem Tribut an Carl Weathers.Weiter geht es mit dem bewegenden Drama The Outrun (2024), das auf Amy Liptrots Memoiren basiert. Wir analysieren Saoirse Ronans energiegeladene Performance als Rona, ihre Rückkehr auf die abgeschiedenen Orkney-Inseln und den Kampf gegen Alkoholismus – eingebettet in beeindruckende Naturbilder und ausgezeichnete Filmmusik von John Gürtler & Jan Miserre.Im nächsten Segment reden wir über The Marvels (Marvel Cinematic Universe, Released 2023). Trotz durchwachsener Kritiken präsentiert der Film ein Duell der Superkräfte zwischen Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel und Monica Rambeau. Wir diskutieren die Chemie im Trio, die filmischen Höchstleistungen (?) – sowie Kritikpunkte wie Überfrachtung und schwache Bösewichtzeichnung.Last but not least: The Amateur (2025), der Rami Malek als introvertierten CIA-Analysten Charles Heller zeigt, der nach dem Tod seiner Frau zur eigenmächtigen Spurensuche rund um den Globus aufbricht. Wir sprechen über das düstere Thriller-Feeling, klassische Agentenstruktur, die Dynamik mit Laurence Fishburne und die Debatte um Revanche vs. moralischer Ambivalenz – mit Blick auf mögliche Fortsetzungen.Nächste Woche fällt leider aus - wir hören uns am 15. August wieder!Hausaufgabe bis dahin: "KPOP Demon Hunters" (Netflix) #NapalmAmMorgen

Folge Nummer 40 von Burns kleinem GeBlauder. Diesmal haben wir mal eine bisschen ungewöhnliche Blauderei. Der Burn erfüllt sich den ganz besonderen Wunsch, seinen Lieblingsautor Peter David zu interviewen und gleichzeitig über dessen Werk zu reflektieren. Leider aus dem bedauerlichen Anlass heraus, dass er kürzlich verstorben ist, ist es gleichzeitig auch eine Würdigung, ein Nachruf oder vielleicht sogar eine Lobpreisung. Es war dem Burn ein Herzensanliegen, das das hier auf die Seite kommt. Seine für Burn wichtigsten Werke:   1. The Incredible Hulk (1987–1998) Die definitive Hulk-Phase. Peter David hat den Hulk über 100 Ausgaben lang geschrieben und ihm endlich psychologische Tiefe gegeben. Er kombinierte Bruce Banners Kindheitstrauma mit multiplen Persönlichkeiten (z. B. den „grauen Hulk“ alias Joe Fixit). Action, Psychoanalyse und Noir – mit echtem Tiefgang. Incredible Hulk By Peter David Omnibus Vol. 2 [New Printing] Author: Peter David, Marvel Various, Illustrated by: Dale Keown, Marvel Various 9781302945336, Hardcover, $125, S. 1084 2. X-Factor (2005–2013, Marvel) Noir trifft Mutantenfamilie. David nimmt ein B-Team von X-Men-Charakteren (u. a. Madrox, Wolfsbane, Layla Miller) und macht daraus eine Detektivserie mit Superkräften. Stark dialogorientiert, mit cleverem Humor und überraschend viel Herz. Madrox' Konflikte sind großartig geschrieben. X-Factor By Peter David Omnibus Vol. 2 Author: Peter David, Illustrated by: Pablo Raimondi, Marvel Various 9781302945220, Hardcover, $125, S 1128 3. Spider-Man 2099 (1992–1996, 2014 ff.) Cyberpunk-Spidey mit sozialem Kommentar. Miguel O'Hara, ein genetisch veränderter Wissenschaftler, wird im Jahr 2099 zu Spider-Man. David verknüpft Sci-Fi-Weltbau mit klassischem Spidey-Charme. Dystopisch, aber mit David-typischem Wortwitz. Peter David kehrte mehrfach zur Figur zurück – sein Herz hängt dran. Spider-Man 2099 Omnibus Vol. 1 Author: Peter David, Marvel Various, Illustrated by: Rick Leonardi, Marvel Various 9781302947798, Hardcover, $150, S. 1384 4. Aquaman (1994–1998, DC) Vom Witzfigur-Image zum knallharten König. Peter David gab Aquaman Bart, Hakenhand und eine neue Ernsthaftigkeit. Episch und düsterer als frühere Versionen, mit politischen Untertönen. Aquaman by Peter David Omnibus Author: Peter David, Illustrated by: Marty Egeland, Various 9781779526052, Hardcover, DC $150, S. 1584 5. Young Justice (1998–2003, DC) Teen-Humor mit Substanz. Ein lockerer, frecher Superheldentitel mit Robin, Superboy und Impulse. Viel Slapstick, Wortwitz, aber auch Coming-of-Age-Themen. Young Justice Omnibus Vol. 1 Author: Peter David, Various, Illustrated by: Todd Nauck, Various 9781779526038, Hardcover, $150, S. 1272 6. Captain Marvel (1999–2004, Marvel) Meta, schräg, philosophisch. David schrieb den fast vergessenen Genis-Vell (Sohn des Originals) zu einem der interessantesten Cosmic-Charaktere um – samt Wahnsinn, Gottkomplex und moralischen Dilemmata. Surreal, oft selbstironisch – fast wie Douglas Adams im Marvel-Kosmos. Captain Marvel: Genis-Vell By Peter David Omnibus Author: Peter David, Fabian Nicieza, Illustrated by: ChrisCross, Marvel Various 9781302951658, Hardcover, $150, S. 1400 7. Fallen Angel (2003–2008, DC & IDW) Sein eigenes Baby. Eine düstere, metaphysische Serie über eine Wächterin einer Stadt voller verlorener Seelen. Mischung aus Superhelden, Mystery und religiösen Themen. auf die Suche gehen Ihr müsst... Die meisten seiner Serien sind tatsächlich in den fetten Omnibus Bänden lieferbar, aber hauptsächlich auf Englisch. Also auf Deutsch ist da relativ wenig zu bekommen. Wir haben diese normalerweise nicht im Laden aber die sind alle easy zu besorgen. Schaut euch mal an welche der Serien, die wir hier für euch rausgezogen hab am spannendsten sind und sprecht mich einfach drauf an, was wir dann da besorgen können oder was als Einstieg gut ist. Also auf jeden Fall gibt's die X-Factor Serie wie...

This week, we sit down with the incredibly versatile Lori Livingston. You may not recognize her face right away—thanks to layers of prosthetic makeup in blockbuster films like Captain Marvel and Bright—but her presence is unforgettable. Lori shares insights on the transformative power of method acting, the unique challenges of performing under heavy makeup, and what it was really like being yelled at on set by none other than Denzel Washington. It's a candid, inspiring, and at times hilarious conversation you won't want to miss.

Oh boy... you win some and you lose some.  While Adventures of Captain Marvel from Republic Films was a real winner the same cannot be said for the racist and silly 1943 Columbia Film The Batman.  The casting was beyond terrible and there were few good qualities about this 15-part serial.  The costuming was fine but today we meet a Batman who never wins a fight, a Robin that was at least twice too old, and dialog meant to offend probably everyone.  This film did introduce The Bat's Cave to Batman lore and just wait until you hear about the amazing special effect that accompanied the Batmobile!  Be sure to also read the article on the main When It Was Cool website for photos and more!

On today's episode, I talk to Eisner Award-winning comics writer Kelly Sue DeConnick. Born in Columbus, OH, Kelly Sue moved around a lot as a child and eventually got into comics professionally through adapting translations of manga. Since the mid-aughts, she has jumped between creator-owned work for publishers like Image such as Pretty Deadly and Bitch Planet, and work-for-hire at Marvel and DC, including a defining run on Captain Marvel. Most recently, she created FML for Dark Horse. It returns this July, and is easily one of the best comics in the last year!

In this episode, we welcome back legendary comic book artist and writer Jerry Ordway to celebrate and discuss the 30th anniversary of his defining work on DC's The Power of Shazam! The graphic novel and subsequent ongoing series helped revitalize the World's Mightiest Mortal for a new generation, and Jerry shares the creative challenges of modernizing the classic Fawcett Comics characters while maintaining their timeless appeal and family-friendly tone. He discusses how his approach balanced the whimsical magic of Billy Batson's world with more contemporary storytelling sensibilities, creating a version of Captain Marvel that honored C.C. Beck's original vision while establishing new mythology and supporting characters. You can find Jerry's most recent work in the just released New History of the DC Universe #1 by Mark Waid. Support the show___________________Check out video versions of this and other episodes on YouTube: youtube.com/dollarbinbandits!If you like this podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts or wherever you found this episode.

Welcome to Avengers Academy!

Cover Price: $5.99 Release Date: June 18, 2025 IN ONE L.A. MOTEL ROOM, A COSMIC QUEST IS ABOUT BEGIN.... Edgar Award nominee and Philip K. Dick Award-winner Ben H. Winters (EC's Cruel Universe, The Last Policeman Trilogy) and rising star Leomacs (EC's Epitaphs from the Abyss, Refrigerator Full of Heads) unravel a three-part, prestige format series exploring the hallucinatory second life of a brilliant author who imagined our desperate future but never imagined he'd become part of it . . More than just a writer, more than just a science-fiction icon, Benjamin J. Carp was a cultural revolutionary. Across 44 novels and hundreds of short stories-including the counterculture classic The Man They Couldn't Erase-Carp pushed the boundaries of literary respectability for the sci-fi genre and his readers' perception of reality itself . . . until decades of amphetamine abuse and Southern California excess finally ended a mind-bending career that always just escaped mainstream success. He died in 1982. Until 2025 . . . when Benjamin J. Carp awakens, alive, in a burned-out motel on the fringes of Los Angeles. He remembers dying. He knows he shouldn't exist. Is he a dream? A robot? A ghost? A clone? A simulation? In his own time, Carp pondered all of these scenarios intensely through his fiction-and, now, as he treks from Studio City to Venice Beach and onward into the paranoid sprawl of 21st-century Los Angeles, he will be called to investigate his greatest mystery yet: himself. In the tradition of Philip K. Dick's A Scanner Darkly and Thomas Pynchon's Inherent Vice comes a uniquely fascinating and hilariously deranged excursion into the metatextual nexus where existence and oblivion, past and future, genius and madness, and glitter and grim reality all meet just beyond Hollywood Boulevard . . . [rating: 3/5] DISCUSSION PEANUTS 1950 Writer/Artist: Charles Schulz This first volume, covering the first two and a quarter years of the strip, will be of particular fascination toPeanuts aficionados worldwide: Although there have been literally hundreds of Peanuts books published, many of the strips from the series' first two or three years have never been collected before―in large part because they showed a young Schulz working out the kinks in his new strip and include some characterizations and designs that are quite different from the cast we're all familiar with. (Among other things, three major cast members―Schroeder, Lucy, and Linus―initially show up as infants and only "grow" into their final "mature" selves as the months go by. Even Snoopy debuts as a puppy!) Thus The Complete Peanuts offers a unique chance to see a master of the art form refine his skills and solidify his universe, day by day, week by week, month by month.

PUBLIC VERSION. Filmmakers Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck (CAPTAIN MARVEL, HALF NELSON, SUGAR, IT'S KIND OF A FUNNY STORY, BILLIONS, MASTERS OF THE AIR) join Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss their career journey and the making of their latest film FREAKY TALES. From their fateful meeting during college in NY to the realization that they worked best as a team… to completing film school only to find themselves working as production assistants nowhere near the actual action on set… to the making of HALF NELSON and how the film opened Hollywood's doors for them… to their experiences directing various television series and the billion dollar success of 2019's CAPTAIN MARVEL… to the making of FREAKY TALES (available in a special edition “Late Night” release from Lionsgate this week!) and the careful choices they made on everything from the story's Oakland location, the time period, the fractured timeline, the music, and the detailed set design… to how they cast the amazing (and incredibly in demand) Pedro Pascal and secured a needle drop from the almighty METALLICA for their modestly budgeted film.. to the truth about the “imposter syndrome” almost every director faces and their thoughts on FREAKY TALES theatrical release…Anna and Ryan are two of the busiest and most exciting filmmakers working today! Don't miss THE MOVIE CRYPT's 9th annual YORKIETHON coming up July 25th - 27th!

Writer and filmmaker Kevin Smokler returns to the pod to talk about his discussions with 25 different women filmmakers.About our guest:Kevin Smokler is a writer, documentary filmmaker and event host focused on our relationship as human beings with pop culture. His most recent book BREAK THE FRAME: CONVERSATIONS WITH WOMEN FILMMAKERS  contains 24 career-retrospective conversations with directors behind box office phenomenon like Captain Marvel, Oscar winners like Free Solo and the filmmakers who launched actors such as America Ferrera, Paul Rudd, Ryan Gosling and Jennifer Lawrence. His previous books, BRAT PACK AMERICA is a love letter to teen movies of the 1980s. His 2013 essay collection PRACTICAL CLASSICS is a 50 book attempt to reread one's high school reading list as an adult.His feature length documentary film VINYL NATION on the American renaissance of the vinyl record, won ten awards and screened at 50 film festivals worldwide. His new documentary MIDDLE GROUNDS, about coffee shops and civic dialogue will be released this year.

In the twenty-first century alone, women filmmakers have succeeded at directing every size, genre, and style of motion picture. Their movies have won Oscars (Free Solo), made actors into household names (Jennifer Lawrence in Winter's Bone), received induction into the Library of Congress's National Film Registry (Real Women Have Curves), and become worldwide box office phenomena (Captain Marvel, Deep Impact). Nevertheless in 2023, the year of Barbie, women directed only 12% of the top 250 movies in America. demonstrating how far moviemaking remains from gender parity. When women filmmakers succeed, they do so against these odds. Break the Frame (Oxford UP, 2025) is a collection of 24 career-spanning interviews with America's celebrated, reigning, and rising women filmmakers. Each conversation considers the director's complete filmography as a map of their evolving artistry and evidence of their unassailable contributions to a historically misogynist industry. Author Kevin Smokler listens as women filmmakers speak to the struggle and triumphs of developing and directing movies that are shaping how the film business sees women in the director's chair, and how their audiences see themselves and each other. This book is both an opportunity and invitation to devote one's time, admiration and enthusiasm to movies directed by women. Learn more about your ad choices.
