Podcasts about Marvel

It's Pop Culture Thursday, and Jared is dishing a headline buffet straight from Page Six. He dives into the Taylor Swift multiverse — from her “announcement of an announcement” album drop to Marvel-movie-level Easter eggs that keep superfans in overdrive. Jared riffs on Swift's internet tribalism, the romantic economics of dating her (hi, Travis Kelce), and even a snake-related bathroom demolition courtesy of Zoe Kravitz. Along the way, he skewers wild fan theories, Martha Stewart's Real Housewives shade, and Leonardo DiCaprio's so-called “mortified” pat-down. Add in Dua Lipa birthday buzz, a Vanity Fair shake-up, and one eyebrow-raising Kelly Clarkson ex subplot, and you've got an episode that's equal parts gossip, comedy, and “did he just say that?”

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 Superhero Show Show #597Spider-Man Enters the Secret WarsThe Superhero Show Show: Spider-Man Enters the Secret WarsThis week on The Superhero Show Show, the hosts swing into one of the most ambitious arcs of Spider-Man: The Animated Series—Secret Wars, Chapter 1: Arrival. Right from the start, the stakes skyrocket as Spider-Man is whisked away from New York to an alien world. There, the all-powerful Beyonder handpicks him to lead a team of Earth's heroes against a deadly alliance of villains.The Beyonder's Game BeginsTo begin, the panel breaks down how the episode wastes no time setting the tone for Secret Wars. The mysterious Beyonder suddenly plucks Spider-Man from his daily life, then transports him to a strange planet built from fragments of different worlds. His mission is clear: unite a squad of Marvel's greatest heroes to face off against an equally dangerous collection of villains.Furthermore, the hosts explore how this storyline instantly raises the scale of the series—from street-level adventures to intergalactic stakes. They emphasize the Beyonder's cryptic motives, the unique design of the Battleworld setting, and the growing sense of anticipation that builds throughout the episode.Recruiting Marvel's FinestNext, the group dives into one of the most enjoyable parts of Secret Wars: Chapter 1—watching Spider-Man handpick his team. The panel laughs over Spidey's awkward yet determined recruitment efforts, as he brings in Captain America, Iron Man, Storm, and the Fantastic Four's Thing. Each hero contributes a distinct personality and power set, which sets up plenty of potential for both teamwork and tension.In addition, the hosts note how the show cleverly gives each hero a brief introduction for new viewers without slowing the pace. This balance ensures that the story remains engaging while still welcoming those unfamiliar with the wider Marvel universe.Villains AssembleMeanwhile, the Beyonder's challenge would not be complete without a formidable opposing force. The episode's other half focuses on Doctor Doom, Red Skull, Doctor Octopus, and the Lizard as they prepare for battle. The group discusses how Doom quickly positions himself as the strategic mastermind, while the other villains underestimate Spider-Man's leadership skills.Moreover, they point out how the episode masterfully builds suspense by teasing the intense confrontations still to come in the arc, leaving fans eager for the next installment.Final Thoughts: Secret Wars Sets the Stage for Epic BattlesIn conclusion, the hosts agree that Secret Wars: Chapter 1 – Arrival serves as the perfect setup for a multi-part event. With a high-concept premise, a massive cast of Marvel icons, and the promise of world-shaking battles, it propels Spider-Man: The Animated Series into truly epic territory.Ultimately, whether you're revisiting the series or experiencing it for the first time, this episode proves that Secret Wars remains one of the most ambitious and thrilling animated Marvel stories ever told.Links and ResourcesMissed our previous episodes of Spider-Man the Animated Series?

In our latest episode, we sit down with veteran comic book artist Mark Pennington to explore his remarkable career spanning four decades in the industry. Mark shares his journey from graduating the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art in 1985 to starting his career doing designs for iconic toy lines like G.I. Joe  at Hasbro before transitioning to comic book inking in 1988. We dive into his extensive work across major publishers including Marvel, DC, Image, CrossGen, and others, inking legendary titles like X-Men, Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight, Eclipso, Violator and more, with particular focus on his acclaimed work on Shade, the Changing Man, which earned him an Eisner nomination for Best Inker in 1993. Mark discusses the often-underappreciated art of inking, his collaboration process with pencilers, working on high-profile titles like Hellblazer and JLA, and how the industry has evolved since he started. We also explore his move into self-publishing and his continued passion for both commercial comic work and fine art.You can follow Mark on Instagram @markpenningtonart.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.

Fresh out of the multiverse meltdown from last week, Loki finds himself slipping through timelines where the TVA never happened — and his friends are living completely different lives. From jet-ski dad to Alcatraz escapee, each version feels real, grounded, and worth saving. In this breakdown of Science/Fiction, I talk about why this might be the show's most human episode yet, what Loki's transformation really means, and how the quiet moments hit just as hard as the big effects. Plus, my favorite scenes, a few laughs at Obi's genius, and why this sets up a finale that could go down as one of Marvel's best hours of television.

The burning hot Down to Watch summer is stretching into August with a rock solid addition to the MCU that's anything but invisible, girl! Dan and Raul can't talk about the Fantastic Four: First Steps without the stalwart Jonnie to round out the comic adaptation team, and the three launch into a space spanning story about parenthood that brings Marvel's first family to the big screen again. This round, the story is expected to tie into the ongoing timeline that's being shepherded by the House of Mouse as opposed to the previous stand-alone attempts, but is the franchise cache enough to make this into a Galactus-man-sized hit or do the crowds clamor for the original cloud-based menace of the older films? There's a baby in this one! 

The First Family of Marvel provides a no-nonsense take.

Marvel's first family comes home as The Fantastic Four make their MCU debut in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, the 37th film in the series. That number is not a reference to Clerks, though Dante would probably feel the same disgust towards Marvel as he did his girlfriend when he learned about her and the number 37. There have been 37 films released as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which feels like the right moment for the comic OGs to check-in for the first time. Because of this staggering number, Danny and Kevin do everything they can to avoid talking about the film. There was no Mike Francesa talk this week, but the duo do question whether or not Shrek is more culturally relevant than The Avengers, why the MCU is losing its imprint on the industry, and if Franklin Richards was conceived immaculately.

YOU can change this! It's summary from Zoom! Use for reference. Get ready for a truly insightful conversation with the incredible Jolene Purdy! After seeing her at a recent in-person audition, Alyshia immediately called her agent and declared, “I just met this actress—I swear to God she's gonna get it!” From that moment, she knew Jolene had to come on the podcast. In today's episode, you'll hear behind-the-scenes stories like that shared audition, where Jolene made bold, unexpected choices despite having very little information about the character. Her distinctive voice and interpretations often go against the writing—making it even better. That inventive spirit has fueled a career spanning her unforgettable debut in Donnie Darko to standout roles in Under the Dome, Orange Is the New Black, The White Lotus, and her latest work opposite Kevin Bacon in The Bondsman. These are the unforgettable stories that landed Jolene Purdy right here.

What happens when a Marvel superhero and an indie filmmaker ditch the script and attempt to build the next great beverage brand? In this episode, actor Wyatt Russell – best known for his role as U.S. Agent in the Marvel film “Thunderbolts” – and producer Richard Peete pull back the curtain on their journey launching Lake Hour, a fast-growing canned cocktail brand that's making waves far beyond the red carpet. What began as a lighthearted idea in a hot tub quickly evolved into a deep dive into flavor formulation, production logistics, and the steep learning curve of the beverage alcohol world. Wyatt and Richard share the unfiltered realities of entrepreneurship and how they've stayed focused on creating a premium product that resonates with today's drinkers. Show notes: 0:25: Interview: Wyatt Russell & Richard Peete, Co-Founders, Lake Hour – Wyatt reveals he's currently in London filming an upcoming Marvel movie, while Richard is preparing for a short-term move to Vancouver. The co-founders reflect on how Lake Hour began as a side project and quickly evolved into a full-time venture, one that proved far more challenging than they initially expected. Despite their Hollywood backgrounds, Wyatt and Richard emphasize that Lake Hour is not a celebrity-driven brand. Instead, they are deeply involved in every aspect of the business, from product development to marketing. Wyatt, notably, chooses not to maintain a personal public Instagram account, but remains active behind the scenes, supporting the brand's social media efforts. They attribute Lake Hour's steady growth to strong execution, a commitment to quality, and a focus on unique flavor profiles like Rosemary Yuzu and Earl Grey Vodka Iced Tea. As the company looks ahead to a Series A raise, it's preparing to scale intentionally and bring on a Chief Marketing Officer to support the next phase of growth. Brands in this episode: Lake Hour, Lake Hour, BuzzBallz, Betty Booze, Twisted Tea, High Noon, White Claw, BeatBox, Archer Roose, Bell's Brewery, Surfside

In this lively episode of GeekFreaks Podcast, Frank and the gang dig deep into the latest pop culture chatter. We cover the lively debate over which fictional characters would thrive on social media, break down the intense new trailer for One Piece season two, and share candid thoughts on the Highlander reboot casting news. Squeaks and Jonathan pitch their dream remakes and sequels, from Short Circuit to Back to the Future. We also talk about DC's rumored “henchman” movie—and pitch our own cheeky DC headlines. Lastly, the crew celebrates the return of space opera epics and welcomes Distance Nerd's Jen, Liam, and Graveyard for a spirited interview on fandom culture. Timestamps & Topics 00:00:00 – 00:03:00 – Introduction and “Fictional Characters on Social Media” debate: Star‑Lord, Joker, Riddler, and Flash. 00:03:00 – 00:06:00 – One Piece season two trailer reaction: multiple arcs, what to expect from Reverse Mountain and Alabasta, and Chopper's introduction. 00:06:00 – 00:08:00 – Does anime need to stick to the manga? Filler episodes versus character moments. 00:08:00 – 00:11:30 – News: Dave Bautista cast in the Highlander reboot—why the debate around his physique doesn't matter. 00:11:30 – 00:15:00 – What remakes do we actually want? Ideas range from Short Circuit's AI twist to a refreshed Back to the Future. 00:15:00 – 00:20:00 – Squeaks' ultimate pitch: E.T. returns—and he's connected to the Star Wars Senate cameo? 00:20:00 – 00:27:00 – DC rumors: Zach Cregger's “Henchman” script, who could carry a story about the accidental capture of Batman, and why Elseworlds stories are fun. 00:27:00 – 00:38:00 – Main Discussion: The renaissance of space operas. From Dune and Avatar to upcoming Star Wars projects and the importance of spectacle, practical effects vs. CGI, and why grand storytelling is back. 00:38:00 – 00:49:00 – “Geek Culture and Community” interview with Distance Nerd's Jen, Graveyard, and Liam: building an online fan community, favorite sci‑fi properties, and how their live podcast style resonates with listeners. 00:49:00 – 01:09:00 – More pop culture news and games: Marvel's Green Lantern theory, fake DC news challenge, and the crew's comedic speculations on Mr. Freeze, Clayface, and Ryan Reynolds' ultimate crossover. 01:09:00 – end – Wrap‑up: Episode highlights, network updates, content from other podcasts, and personal recommendations—how King of the Hill's return hits the right notes, why Dope Thief on Apple TV is a sleeper hit, and more. Key Takeaways Fictional characters on TikTok? The gang imagines Star‑Lord taking selfies across galaxies, the Riddler fostering a cult following, and Flash zipping around doing livestreams from inside STAR Labs. One Piece season two will be jam‑packed. Squeaks notes the show will likely fold multiple arcs into one season, meaning nonstop action and beloved characters like Chopper and Nico Robin. Remakes done right: While the crew is wary of endless reboots, they'd love to see Short Circuit reimagined with modern AI themes or a thoughtful sequel to E.T. set in today's world. DC's “henchman” movie intrigues. Zach Cregger's script idea follows a low‑level villain who accidentally knocks out Batman and then wrestles with what to do—worth exploring as an Elseworlds story, especially if it digs into Gotham's underclass. Space operas are back. Thanks to Dune, Avatar, and upcoming Star Wars films, the spectacle‑heavy genre is enjoying a resurgence. The team loves the blend of practical effects and CGI when done well, but they emphasize the need for strong characters and meaningful themes. Geek culture lives online. Jen, Liam, and Graveyard from Distance Nerd share how they've cultivated a welcoming space for fans and why live, improvisational podcasting keeps the energy high. Fun with fake news. The hosts plan to prank DC fans with tongue‑in‑cheek rumors—like Batman stealing Green Lantern's ring or Mr. Freeze battling Clayface—just to poke fun at internet speculation. Personal recs: King of the Hill's revival hits all the right notes, Dope Thief on Apple TV delivers gripping crime drama, and Apple TV quietly produces award‑worthy content. Memorable Quotes “Thriving on social media doesn't mean everybody loves you—it just means you have a huge following.” – Frank “Star‑Lord with different aliens, different species, fighting and selfies in strange worlds? Yes, please!” – Squeaks “Sometimes the monsters show us what it means to be human.” – Frank on beloved AI and sci‑fi themes “Practical effects still matter; CGI needs to be done beautifully—think Dune's sandworms or Avatar's Pandora.” – Squeaks “We're casual, we're opinionated, and we're fans of fans. That's what Distance Nerd stands for.” – Jen Call to Action Love what you hear? Help us continue bringing you thoughtful geek discussions every week!

Send us a textAlright friends, this one's a juicy flex of an episode. If you've ever thought about strength training as just “working out,” you're gonna leave this convo seeing your muscles as the badass miracle tissue they actually are. My guest today is journalist and author Bonnie Tsui, who wrote a brilliant book all about muscle. Like, the science and the soul of it.We dig into why women have historically been sidelined when it comes to muscle building and how we're finally flipping that script. Like, did you know women used to avoid swim team because they didn't want their shoulders to look “too big”? (Insert a big ol' eye roll here.) And Bonnie's not just talking aesthetics. She's going deep on muscle as essential to longevity, confidence, emotional resilience, and yeah, even your identity.This episode is for anyone who's ever stepped into a gym and felt like they didn't belong or who's just curious about why grip strength is suddenly a thing your doctor actually cares about.Plus, we get into puberty, menopause, and the myths of the Marvel six-pack. Hint: Your glutes are more than just a good angle on Instagram. They might actually be the reason humans evolved the way we did. Mind. Blown.I left this convo totally rethinking how I teach strength to my clients, and I guarantee it'll change how you move through the world (maybe literally). So grab your kettlebells or your coffee, and let's get into it.What's Inside:Why muscle isn't just for meatheads and why we all need to give it more creditThe real story behind women ditching sports during puberty (and why we've got to change that)How strength training intersects with politics, beauty ideals and powerWhy a visible six-pack doesn't mean what you think it does and why grip strength might actually be your new favorite metricQuick gut check…Are you still thinking muscle is just about how you look in a tank top? Have you been seeing strength as a chore instead of a gift? Let's flip that. This episode might just be the nudge you need to start lifting heavy and owning your power. I want to know what strength feels like to you these days. DM me on Instagram and let's talk muscles. Mentioned in This Episode:Bonnie TsuiBonnie on Instagram Bonnie Tsui's book “On Muscle: The Stuff That Moves Us and Why It Matters”Healthy As Fck*Oonagh Duncan on InstagramFit Feels Good Strong AF Leave me a voice note on Speak Pipe!

Send us a textThe Fantastic Four has finally arrived in the MCU, but not in the way anyone expected. Rather than another tired origin story, we're dropped into Universe 828—a gorgeously realized retro-futuristic world where Marvel's First Family are already established heroes beloved by the public.What makes this film truly special is how it balances cosmic spectacle with intimate family drama. When we meet Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben, they're facing their greatest challenge yet: impending parenthood. Sue Storm is pregnant, and Reed's anxiety about what their altered genetics might mean for their child drives much of the emotional narrative. Pedro Pascal brings a fascinating vulnerability to Reed Richards—a brilliant mind constantly plagued by feelings of inadequacy, always believing he should be able to do more.Vanessa Kirby delivers what might be the definitive Sue Storm performance, finally showcasing the character's immense power that comic readers have known about for decades. The climactic sequence where she confronts Galactus while literally in labor is both visually stunning and emotionally resonant—a mother's fierce protection taken to cosmic levels. Meanwhile, Joseph Quinn and Ebon Moss-Bachrach bring fresh energy to Johnny Storm and Ben Grimm respectively, with their relationship capturing that perfect balance of friendly ribbing and genuine brotherhood.The film's visual aesthetic deserves special mention—Universe 828 feels like tomorrow as imagined in the 1960s, with flying cars, impossible architecture, and a sense of optimism that's been missing from recent superhero fare. This distinct setting, coupled with the post-credits tease of Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom appearing in Franklin Richards' nursery, suggests an exciting direction for the future of the MCU.Whether you're a longtime Fantastic Four fan or completely new to these characters, this film offers something genuinely fresh in the superhero landscape. It reminds us why these characters have endured for over sixty years—because at their heart, they're not just superheroes, they're family. And that's fantastic.Twitter handles:Project Geekology: https://twitter.com/pgeekologyAnthony's Twitter: https://twitter.com/odysseyswowDakota's Twitter: https://twitter.com/geekritique_dakInstagram:https://instagram.com/projectgeekology?igshid=1v0sits7ipq9yYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@projectgeekologyGeekritique (Dakota):https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBwciIqOoHwIx_uXtYTSEbANew Video: The Divine Structure Hidden in Superman's Timeline: https://youtu.be/iHgcBcCSJgM?si=9xmcl76NZR3Sdx3wSupport the show
