We're back! The fellas discuss MCU casting/rumors about upcoming projects, hit on the future of The Batman II, a little Superman trailer talk, and we wish well a dear friend of the pod! Join us! 

The new THUNDERBOLTS* assembles a group of leftovers from various MCU stories to face off against their personal failings in a way that's broadly reminiscent of, yet tonally distinct from, the wannabe superheroes of 1999's MYSTERY MEN. It's also tonally distinct from most recent Marvel projects in a way that we all responded to, even if we differ on whether THUNDERBOLTS* is punching above its power class in the metaphor department. We debate that before bringing MYSTERY MEN back in to explore the various power differentials both between and within these two groups of superheroes with self-esteem issues. And in Your Next Picture Show we entertain another hypothetical “misfit superheroes” pairing that Scott argues has a better claim to the “classic” designation than MYSTERY MEN.  Please share your thoughts about MYSTERY MEN, THUNDERBOLTS*, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

For the latest installment of "Fighting VideoLAMES," we're looking at Capcom's second attempt to bring their beloved Street Fighter II to the big screen. Far from the silly, colorful spectacle of the JCVD/Raul Julia version, this time around Capcom opted for a more grounded, dramatic take, focusing primarily one single Street Fighter character in hopes of kicking off an MCU-like string of sequels ultimately culminating in a big team-up movie. But even with Kristen Kreuk, a hot TV star of the time, in the titular role as one of the video game's most popular characters, Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li once again failed to cement Street Fighter as a cinematic brand. So what went wrong this time? How much can you change from the source material before you're no longer really making a true adaptation? And just what is going on with that Chris Klein performance? We discuss all this, and more! Our Twitter Our Facebook Our Instagram Our YouTube Trev's Letterboxd Chris' Letterboxd

What's up, nerds? This week on the podcast, Maryland Phil joins me for a deep dive into Marvel's Thunderbolts—or the New Avengers? We unpack our thoughts and feelings on the recent film, including our personal ratings out of 10 and what the name change might signal for the MCU's future. We take a closer look at each character's arc and background, drawing comparisons to Suicide Squad along the way. Our conversation expands into a broader critique of the MCU's various phases, its growing collection of TV shows, and how the Multiverse Saga might eventually wrap up. From standout character development to some serious storytelling missteps, we break it all down with our “Good, Bad, and Ugly” segment. And because we can't help ourselves, there's also a random sidebar about Tim Burton. It's chaotic, nerdy, and packed with opinions—just the way we like it.

Case and Sam are looking back at the earliest episodes of the show! Check out their thoughts on the eighteenth episode when Case sat down with Drew Lewandowski and chatted about Captain America: The First Avenger! Overview In the latest episode of the 'Another Pass at Another Pass' podcast, hosts Case Aiken and Sam Alicea review 'Captain America: The First Avenger,' reflecting on its role as a unifying film within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). They discuss the film's strong character setup in the first half but critique a rushed third act and missed opportunities for deeper character development, particularly concerning the Howling Commandos and the relationship between Howard Stark and Steve Rogers. Praise is given to the casting, especially Chris Evans as Captain America and Hugo Weaving as Red Skull, while discussing suggestions for improving narrative flow. The hosts express a continuing appreciation for the film after rewatching it, noting its effective handling of themes and villains, and they highlight its significance within the broader MCU narrative. Additionally, they touch on the impact of real-world events on superhero films and announce upcoming podcast episodes, wrapping up with promotional messages for other network shows.   Notes Introduction to the Podcast and Film (00:00 - 10:16) Case Aiken and Sam Alicea are hosting 'Another Pass at Another Pass' podcast They're reviewing a previous episode about Captain America: The First Avenger The original episode featured Case and his friend Drew Lewandowski Case apologizes for poor audio quality in the original recording They discuss how Captain America serves as a unifying movie in the MCU The film connects elements from Iron Man, Thor, and Hulk through the Tesseract Captain America as a Unifying Element (10:16 - 19:05) Captain America movies serve as unifying elements in the MCU Winter Soldier launched 'phase two' by introducing more complex themes The lines between good and bad become increasingly blurred in later films Captain America represents absolute leadership and teamwork The film establishes the character's role as someone who brings people together Captain America represents the ideals of America, not just super strength Film Structure Analysis (19:05 - 28:33) First half of the film is exceptionally strong, creating a perfect character setup The third act feels rushed with some missed opportunities for character development The Red Skull (Hugo Weaving) is praised as an excellent villain HYDRA's introduction was more significant than initially realized HYDRA allowed for the creation of a Marvel-specific villain organization The film sets up important elements for Winter Soldier and later MCU films ⏱️ Critique of Film Pacing (28:33 - 36:56) The Howling Commandos deserved more screen time and character development The relationship between Howard Stark and Steve Rogers needed more development This relationship becomes important context for Tony/Steve dynamics in later films Bucky's 'death' scene could have been positioned differently in the narrative The train sequence and finale have some structural issues Discussion about how the film could have better bridged its two halves Casting and Character Highlights (36:56 - 45:25) Exceptional casting across the board: Chris Evans, Hugo Weaving, Stanley Tucci Red Skull is one of the most enduring Marvel villains, despite limited screen time Zola's character design cleverly references his comic book appearance Tommy Lee Jones perfectly cast as the military leader Chris Evans found his defining role as Captain America Strong supporting cast with actors who would later become more famous Film Analysis and Improvement Ideas (45:26 - 54:02) Suggestion to add an 'intermission' between the film's two halves Proposal to restructure the third act for better narrative flow The kamikaze pilots subplot criticized as lowering the stakes Suggested improvements for the final confrontation with Red Skull Idea to incorporate Bucky's death as a catalyst for the final mission Discussion about improving the transition between propaganda era and real combat Conclusion of Original Episode (54:02 - 01:02:58) Original hosts wrap up their discussion of the film The movie is praised as being difficult to critique because it's so well-made Recommendation for viewers to rewatch the film with modern context Discussion of how the film fits into the larger MCU narrative Mention of a 'Phase One drinking game' for MCU marathon viewings Final thoughts on the film's significance to the MCU Modern Perspective on the Film (01:02:58 - 01:13:03) Sam and Case discuss their current opinions of the film after rewatching Both hosts remain strongly positive about the film years later The movie holds up exceptionally well in the context of the full MCU Discussion of how the film handles its villain effectively Praise for the subtle character moments and attention to detail Red Skull's appearance in later MCU films briefly mentioned Character Design and Props (01:13:03 - 01:24:11) Excellent adaptation of comic book costumes to realistic military gear Props and set design create an authentic World War II atmosphere Captain America's evolution from USO performer to actual hero is well-executed Small character arcs for supporting characters are effectively included Discussion of how the film works as a family-friendly viewing option Only one potentially scary scene (Red Skull face reveal) noted for young viewers ️ Current MCU Discussion and Conclusions (01:24:11 - 01:39:52) Brief discussion of the recent 'Captain America: Brave New World' film Comparison between the original trilogy and newer Captain America content Discussion of how real-world events affect superhero movie production The consistent writing team for the Captain America trilogy provided narrative strength Announcement of upcoming podcast episodes and network news Farewell and promotional messages for other network shows

In an unusually tight episode, Kevin and Andrew discuss the new Marvel film, Thunderbolts* and episode 3 of The Last of Us Season 2. This will be spoiler heavy, so if you haven't seen Thunderbolts*, go see it immediately. Like right now. It's top tier Marvel and worth your time for multiple reasons. Kevin and Andrew both agree on how significant this film is to the MCU, so that agreement enough should sell you! The is the new Avengers (word play) film we've been waiting for since Endgame. Next up, the guys talk Episode 3 of The Last of Us. As it turns out, Andrew didn't finish the episode so Kevin keeps it a little spoiler free. While this episode doesn't pack the same punch (see what I did there?) as the previous episode, it does a great job moving the story forward and kicking off Ellie and Dina's journey going forward. 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. Enjoy the episode and have a great week!

Directed by James Wong and starring Devon Sawa, Ali Larter, Kerr Smith, and the unforgettable Tony Todd—who delivers an unforgettable turn in just one scene—this episode dives into the supernatural suspense that made this film a generational anxiety trigger. 

The "iconic" Ironheart trailer is getting ratioed on YouTube. Because of COURSE it is. The thing is, the mainstream media isn't really saying much about it this time around. But Disney is pulling in other MCU stars to promote the show, including Robert Downey Jr. and Charlie Cox. Will this one perform, or are people OVER IT?

Et voilà ! Si vous n'aviez pas suivi le long déroulé du planning de Marvel Studios, sachez que ce qu'on appelle la "Phase 5" de leur Multiverse Saga vient de s'achever avec la sortie au cinéma du film Thunderbolts* ! Après plusieurs années à essuyer de sévères retours critiques et de sacrés revers au box-office, le géant américain semble trouver un nouveau souffle, du moins avec un film qui profite d'un peu plus de soin que certains autres - ou du moins qui plaît plus, de l'avis général, et qui pour Bob Iger, signerait même le retour d'une façon de faire "plus tournée vers la qualité" au sein de l'entité. Peut-on le croire ? C'est ce dont on discutera dans ce podcast !Notre verdict et débat sur Thunderbolts* !Pour parler de Thunderbolts* et de ses personnages qui forment une famille dysfonctionnelle, nous avons réuni notre propre famille dysfonctionnelle avec Océane et Spleenter que vous connaissez très bien et qui nous accompagnent régulièrement depuis de nombreuses années dans nos podcasts dédiés aux adaptations de comics. Après l'habituel point "Cocopédia", on revient donc sans, puis avec spoilers sur ce que l'on a pensé du film de Jake Schreier.Si vous appréciez ce podcast et tout le travail fourni derrière, vous avez plein d'options pour nous soutenir : en parler autour de vous, commenter sur les plateformes, en discuter sur notre Discord, en partageant l'émission sur nos réseaux et ailleurs, et en nous soutenant via notre Tipeee !

On this week's new episode we discuss the latest installment in the MCU: Thunderbolts*But first, why does Cody always need to have the first word? Did this movie have stereotypical MCU humor? Is Marvel back? Did Florence Pugh have an amazing performance as Yelena? Does knowing about The Sentry beforehand spoil the movie? Is Lewis Pullman a nepo baby? What did we think of Wyatt Russell as US Agent? Do we care about Taskmaster? Was this movie overhyped or is this the best post-Endgame movie? Does Jake regret seeing this in theaters? How does this stack up to Captain America: Brave New World and Daredevil: Born Again? What's our post-Endgame rankings? Is the way the movie handles depression too ham-fisted? Did we like Sentry's costume? How does this compare to The Suicide Squad? How does this movie mirror other aspects of the MCU? Did Bucky have Terminator vibes? Should Baron Zemo have been on the team? Which of us are Team U.S. Agent? Who would we be on the Thunderbolts? Was Julia Louis-Dreyfus a great villain? Did Anthony expect them to be called The Dark Avengers? Who's on Sam Wilson's Avengers? What was Wilson Fisk doing in the Void? Does this movie require a lot of previous MCU knowledge? Did Thunderbolts have good post-credit scenes? Is God Emperor Doom coming? Can the Avengers beat Sentry?Check out our website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.comicsandchronic.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠New episodes every THURSDAYFollow us on social media!

They discuss the contrasting characters of Yelena and Natasha, the lack of emotional stakes, and the disappointing representation of female characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The conversation also touches on the impact of Black Widow's death and the legacy of the film, concluding with a call for better-written female characters in future Disney productions.----------Highlights:0:00 ‘Black Widow' Introduction3:51 Opening Scene6:18 Natasha Romanoff: A Compelling Protagonist?14:00 Dreykov and Taskmaster16:39 Female Empowerment and Hollywood25:01 Side Characters31:11 Romanoff's Problems Before Black Widow34:28 Themes and Messages35:46 Lasting Impact of Black Widow#blackwidow #natasharomanoff #yelenabolova #alexeishostakov #redguardian #alostplot #redroom #dreykov #taskmaster #disney #marvel #marvelstudios #mcu #film #filmthoughts #femaleleads #femaleempowerment #thunderbolts #assassins #assassin

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universes.Marvel Studios is apparently very pleased with the positive reviews its latest release Thunderbolts*(AKA The New Avengers) is being showered with, as the director, Jake Schreier, is reportedly the studio's top choice to direct the upcoming X-Men film. Said X-Men film remains untitled, but is in active development with Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes writer, Michael Lesslie, currently writing the script.

Elsewhere, Despite wide traveling rumors, James Gunn affirmed that Matt Reeves is still set to direct The Batman 2 with his Threads response “Yes.
