We began this series with a messy character in Marc/Steven, but in a good way! We end this series with a messy finale, and that's...a little more complicated. So what went right in this last episode? What could have gone better and how? Our Charactercast team of Kristine Kippins, Jesse Taylor, and Marc Faletti assemble to balance the scales of Moon Knight, its finale, and the arcs of its characters.
It's the ultimate showdown between Marc and Layla, then Marc and Harrow, then Marc and Steven and...a hippo goddess in a psych ward? Kristine Kippins, Jesse Taylor, and Marc Faletti grab their bingo cards and take stock of what the eff is going on, whether Layla's involved in TV's most complicated romance, and if Moon Knight's character tropes are working. Won't you join us for some jell-o?
...be Steven Grant or Marc Spector? Be *with* Steven or Marc? Follow Khonshu or Ammit? Wear a snappy three-piece suit or cool robes? And those are just the beginning of our conundrums! After another thrilling episode of Moon Knight, Jesse Taylor and Kristine Kippins join Marc for a Charactercast breakdown of our heroes, villains, outfits, and lust objects through a little game known as Would You Rather. If you wanna join in on the discussion, follow us on Twitter or Insta @marveloustvclub!
Happy Wandaversary! A year ago—Jan 15, 2021—the first two episodes of WandaVision dropped and blew our minds. On this special episode of the Marvelous TV Club, Kristine Kippins and Maeve Adams join forces with Marc to analyze the show with all the perspective we've gained over the past year. How does it hold up? Which episode is the best of the series? Who's the real villain of the show? Where do Wanda, Agatha, and the rest go from here? And so much more. Buckle up for a journey through character, theme, philosophy, and the cringeworthiness of child actors on the MTVC!
Charactercast is back with a deep dive into faces new and old from the first two episodes of the Hawkeye series! Is Clint Barton dealing with his trauma or hiding from it? Is Kate Bishop in the hero game for the right reasons? What's Jack Duquesne really up to? And is Kate's mom a heckuva lot more sinister than she appears? These may seem like unrelated questions, but two threads tie them together: parenting and privilege. We explain it all on the latest release from the Marvelous TV Club, starring Kristine Kippins, Jesse Taylor, and Marc Faletti.
Kang/He Who Remains was full of surprises. And lies—at least if you ask Sylvie. She and Loki began the final episode closer than ever, only to find themselves multiverses apart in the end. Meanwhile, the TVA as we knew it seems gone. And in its place...well, we probably won't know for sure until season 2 just how different the new TVA is. But we definitely have some ideas. On our final Charactercast of Loki season one, Kristine Kippins and Marc Faletti discuss the finer points of Loki's growth, Kang's plan, Sylvie's revenge, Mobius's new form, and Ravonna's past. The Marvelous TV Club: For all time. Always!
Put on your alligator Loki horns and join Kristine Kippins and Marc Faletti for an exploration of the complex relationships between Loki, Mobius, Sylvie, Ravonna, B-15, and more! We also address, once and for all, who's the superior Loki, how much of the TVA propaganda Ravonna actually buys, and the creative decision that made the scene between B-15 and Sylvie so moving. We've got two episodes left, and the time/space shenanigans show no signs of letting up. So strap in for a Charactercast that's not afraid to wake up at the end of the timeline!
The clues Sylvie dropped about her history might've revealed much more than she intended—especially about her relationship to the TVA. And while Loki's moral compass has proven unreliable so far, one crucial event on Lamentis may have changed all of that. Meanwhile, from motivations to instincts to attention span, Loki and Sylvie are night and day. And yet! They both strive to shield themselves from the very thing they also most desperately seek. What could that be? Well, if you join Kristine Kippins and Marc Faletti on this week's Charactercast, you'll find out! Provided we don't mind-wipe you after the fact, of course...
Sam Wilson isn't just a new Captain America, he's redefining what it means to be Captain America. But did Sam do justice to Isaiah Bradley's story in the end? Meanwhile, Bucky starts making genuine amends while John Walker can't wait to pat himself on the back for one half-decent decision. Karli, Sharon, and Zemo all factor into a jam-packed episode, too. On the MTVC's Charactercast, Kristine Kippins joins Marc Faletti to evaluate where our heroes and villains landed in the season finale of Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
Isaiah Bradley's story has a lot to teach Sam, and also the audience. Meanwhile, in Delacroix Sam and Bucky each take meaningful steps towards personal growth. The same can't be said for Walker or Karli, though, whose personal warpaths continue to threaten everyone's safety. And somehow Zemo's the person most at peace? Kristine Kippins joins Marc Faletti to talk about all of this and—of course—the mutual emergent thirst between Sarah and Bucky. (Sam, get out of the way, please! This Charactercast has no time for overprotectiveness. Let Sarah have her fun!)
Zemo manipulated heroes into fighting amongst themselves again. John Walker just became the most hated man in the world. And Bucky learned just how ungrateful and vulnerable he really is. The fourth episode of Falcon and the Winter Soldier delivered some exhilarating highs and devastating consequences for our characters. Kristine Kippins joins Marc to assess the fallout on the MTVC's Charactercast.
Sharon seemed pretty pissed at Sam and Bucky, but she's also living in a mansion with stolen art...and a private driver she hid from our heroes. What's she really up to? Meanwhile, Zemo flashes a more sympathetic side, and a certain legacy continues to haunt Sam, Bucky, and even John. Kristine Kippins joins Marc to puzzle analyze characters new and old from Falcon and the Winter Soldier, episode 3: Power Broker! Grab a snake ball cocktail and join us, yeah?
Our favorite dysfunctional duo really amped up the love/hate tension in their first episode together. Kristine Kippins joins Marc for our own counseling session to talk about whether Sam and Bucky are friends, foes, frenemies, or family. Then we get into what makes John Walker tick—and how that ticking means he might be a bomb about to explode. Finally, we discuss the most amazing new character of the series: Isaiah Bradley. There's even more (Lemar! Karli!) inside the ep, so hit play and let's do this thing.
Just how big of a mistake was it for Sam to hand over the shield? How screwed will Bucky be when he finally tells his friend Yori what happened to his son? Any why is Leah so incredibly bad at first dates? Kristine Kippins joins Marc to analyze all of that and more on our Charactercast. We dive into a ton about Sam and Bucky while making room to welcome Sarah, Torres, and more to the party. Strap on your flying squirrel suit and join us for a wild ride!
Kristine Kippins joins Marc to talk about the strengths, weaknesses, and best scenes for the titular characters in Falcon and the Winter Soldier. We then assess whether Zemo's a quality villain and try to grasp what Sharon was thinking when she french-kissed her great aunt Peggy's man. Finally, Kristine shares her thoughts on what it would mean to have a Black Captain America in today's world. All of that and more awaits you on Charactercast! *Elevator music in my Zemo aside courtesy of Bensound YouTube
Kristine Kippins joins Marc to crown our final WandaVision winners and losers, dest and worst decisions of the episode, and series champions. We also tease a little of what's to come from Falcon and the Winter Soldier. So gear up and head back to Westview one more time. We promise no mental torture will be involved!
Kristine Kippins joins Marc to debate the winners and losers of WandaVision's penultimate episode. Kristine scores a ton of points for being right about Hayward, but Marc's surprise loser of the week literally brings a tear to Kristine's eye. It's an emotional roller coaster, and we hope you have half as much fun with this pod as we did.
Kristine Kippins joins host Marc Faletti to evaluate the fortunes and decisions of all the important characters of WandaVision. Who's the winner of the week? Who's the biggest loser? Who made the best decision? Who had the worst idea? We've got answers to those questions and more in our first Charactercast of the Marvelous TV Club!
