A look back at the Thunderbolts* I mean the New Avengers movie

Let's talk about the STATE OF MARVEL after Thunderbolts: Is the franchise still at a low point? With Thunderbolts looking increasingly like it will fall short in the box office, and Marvel Studios pulling out of Hall H upon delaying Avengers Doomsday, all of these are worrying signs for the studio and franchise. But will Fantastic Four First Steps be the comeback the studio needs?

SUPER LOADED show for this week. We had to skip the usual pleasantries and just jump right into “The Last of Us” Episode 3 & 4, “Andor” Episode 4-9, and for May the 4th, all of the episodes of “Star Wars Tales of the Underworld.” After trying to cover all of those shows we talk about our opinions with “Marvel's Thunderbolts*” aka “The New Avengers” & Ryan Coogler's “Sinners.” Whew. That's too many fantastic television and films. --Nathan   

J.D. goes live this episode. This episode we discuss the AMA Awards, Kai Cenat streaming from the AMA's, Kai reacting to Eminem's win, and him keeping Streaming University independent. Then J.D. reviews Thunderbolts aka New Avengers, and talks about the current state of the MCU.

In this episode of Flyover Film Country, hosts Isaac Sims and Olivia Clement, along with guest Luke Irvin, discuss various films including Marvel's Thunderbolts, the Friendship movie, and Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning. They share their viewing experiences, box office insights, and personal rankings of Marvel's Phase Five films. The conversation highlights the importance of community in film appreciation and the evolving landscape of Marvel content. In this conversation, the hosts delve into the themes of character dynamics, grief, and the portrayal of mental health in the latest Marvel movie. They discuss the chemistry among the cast, the handling of complex characters like Taskmaster, and the poignant themes of loneliness and depression. The conversation also highlights the importance of community support in overcoming struggles, the duality of Bob's character, and the performances of actors like Wyatt Russell. The unexpected political journey of Bucky is also explored, raising questions about character development in the MCU. In this conversation, the hosts delve into the intricacies of superhero economics, character dynamics, and the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. They explore the funding of heroes, the confusion surrounding character roles, and the potential for crossovers in upcoming series. The discussion also touches on the New Avengers and the anticipation of future Marvel content, culminating in final thoughts on the Thunderbolts movie and its significance in the evolving landscape of Marvel storytelling.

Avengers assemble! In this episode, Shelby and Laura review Marvel's newest superhero movie--Thunderbolts* starring Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. The 36th MCU film's marketing campaign promoted IMAX and A24 more than the actual movie, so we were curious to see how it all came together. We analyze the movie's surprising villain--Bob aka Sentry, mental health themes, and backstory plot holes.We dissect the film's lack of diverse casting and Ava Starr's minimal storylines, explain why there was too much homework needed to understand the film, highlight our favorite moments, like David Harbour's comedic timing as Alexei Shostakov, question why Bucky Barnes is a US Congressman, predict who will be in Sam Wilson's Avengers, and debate whether Valentina deserved to have a happy ending.

We're back with another movie review. This time is another Marvel Studios blockbuster in Thunderbolts*....now know as *The New Avengers. Tap in and hear our break down of it and our final grade. Tell us what you thought of it! - [FOLLOS US ON INSTAGRAM FOR THER LATEST NEWS AND UPDATES! @faxfromthelab] - [STARRING: Mic Navarro, Max Sayless] - [Thunderbolts* courtesy of Marvel Studios/Disney Studios] - #FFTL #faxfromthelab

This time we watched Tomorrow, the Rat — Episode 4 from Series 1 of Doomwatch, first broadcast 2 March 1970 and written by Terence Dudley. That's four years before James Herbert published The Rats (which we covered in episode 4). It's highly likely he was inspired by this vintage BBC sci-fi thriller—pen in hand, watching Doomwatch unfold.Doomwatch was a vintage BBC science fiction series that aired from 1970 to 1972. A prime example of British sci-fi, it followed a government scientific agency led by Dr Spencer Quist (John Paul) investigating futuristic environmental and technological threats. Think of it as classic BBC sci-fi with serious Black Mirror energy.The show was created by Doctor Who masterminds Gerry Davis and Kit Pedler—the very same duo who invented the Cybermen. Davis had been a Doctor Who story editor; Pedler served as scientific adviser. Their fascination with the dangers of science run amok became the foundation of Doomwatch, this cult BBC science fiction drama.Series 1 and 2 each had thirteen episodes; Series 3 had twelve (though one, Sex and Violence, was never broadcast). The BBC got cold feet, possibly due to real execution footage and unflattering portrayals of public figures like Mary Whitehouse and Cliff Richard.As with far too much vintage BBC content, parts of Doomwatch are missing—wiped or taped over. At its peak, the show pulled in over 13 million viewers, cementing its place in classic British sci-fi history.Dr Quist was a Nobel-winning physicist haunted by his involvement in the Manhattan Project. (Yes, he appears in Oppenheimer.) John Paul, who played him, was a familiar face on British television: I, Claudius, Triangle, The Avengers, The New Avengers—proper BBC veteran.Toby Wren, played by Robert Powell (who we talked about in episode 46, The Survivor), was a key figure in Series 1. He met a legendary end in the finale, Survival Code. Powell asked to go out with a bang—literally. The BBC received more letters about his on-screen death than any issue since World War II.This episode, Tomorrow, the Rat, was written by Terence Dudley—then the producer of Doomwatch. Dudley directed three episodes and went on to work extensively in Doctor Who, including directing Meglos (1980), and writing Four to Doomsday, Black Orchid, and The King's Demons. He also wrote Target novelisations and K-9 and Company. Classic vintage BBC sci-fi pedigree.Simon Oates plays Dr John Ridge—you may remember him from Beasts (The Dummy episode, which we reviewed in 44a). He also played Steed in the stage version of The Avengers.Penelope Lee appears as Dr Mary Bryant. She once auditioned to play Barbara, the Doctor's original companion. She later voiced Lyn Driver in The Plague Dogs (a British animation not for the faint-hearted) and a computer in Doctor Who: Revelation of the Daleks. She also featured in Richard Donner's Superman as the Ninth Elder. Peak British sci-fi credentials.Hamilton Dyce turns up as the Minister. You might recognise him as Major General Scobie in Doctor Who: Spearhead from Space—another vintage BBC sci-fi staple.And no, before you ask, none of this cast ever turned up in Boon.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/general-witchfinders.

This week, Tim and a returning Zeddy suit up (metaphorically) and jump into the chaotic, emotional, and surprisingly deep world of Marvel's Thunderbolts*.  They break down the movie's emotional rollercoaster, the marketing smoke and mirrors, and what it all means for the MCU's ever-expanding story. From angsty antiheroes to surprise team-ups, they dig into the character arcs, mental health themes, and how this film throws a curveball at your usual superhero expectations.

Marvel's Most Wanted are here to deliver some Justice like Lightning! Case and Jmike reflect on the latest MCU entry, Thunderbolts*, with friend of the show, Joe Mastropiero. Overview In the latest episode of the podcast, hosts Case Aiken and Jmike Folson, along with guest Joe Mastropiero, delve into Marvel's Thunderbolts movie, connecting its themes to the recently released Superman trailer. They discuss the film's characters, including Yelena, Bucky, and the controversial Sentry, addressing how the characters' darker backstories lend themselves to a redemption arc that deviates from their comic origins. The hosts explore the movie's structure, its exploration of trauma through the lens of the Void character, and the significance of the Superman archetype in modern storytelling, highlighting a potential cultural shift towards more hopeful narratives. The episode concludes with updates about the podcast, including upcoming episodes and ways for listeners to engage through Discord and Patreon, while emphasizing the importance of community interaction in discussing these themes.

MARVEL IS BACK!!! Or that's what folks have been saying after their latest film dropped, Thunderbolts*. For Episode 154 we're here to discuss The New Avengers during our weekend in Charlotte to see #kendricklamar. We're fresh out the theater on this one and it doens't seemed to have lived up to the hype for Jazz. Jason had a good time with the film and of The Red Guardian. Who's solo film would you rather see, Yelena or Bucky's?? Was Task Master a waste? and of course, Was It Good Though?

This week we return to the MCU and meet Marvel's version of The Suicide Squad with their oddball team, Thunderbolts*. Journey with us as we breakdown where all these characters came from and if they were the right fit for the film along with how this might set up future films.

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. Maryland Phil can be found on Twitter hosting @nerdragecast where he keeps us updated on the Nerd Rage happenings and comic and movie news.

In this episode of Geek Freaks, Frank, Thomas, and Jonathan are back from the Mother's Day break with a packed discussion! They break down the new Peacemaker Season 2 trailer, explore the casting shake-up for the upcoming Clayface movie, and share thoughts on whether Star Wars fans are becoming too hard to please. Plus, hear which character deaths hit them hardest growing up, and catch updates on the booming Fallout series, Thunderbolts comic rebrand, and GTA 6's delay. It's a wild ride through geek culture, nostalgia, and fan expectations.

The Clayface film is shifting tone with a new writer, sparking concern. The new Thunderbolts comic is rebranded as The New Avengers, but not all fans are buying the change. Fallout is already planned through Season 5, signaling massive investment in the franchise. GTA 6 delay is seen as necessary to maintain Rockstar's near-perfect track record. Star Wars discourse is dominated by vocal negativity, often before fans have seen new content. Healthy fan engagement means watching, evaluating, and building community—not canceling creators. Ahsoka, Andor, Skeleton Crew, and Acolyte show that Star Wars is diversifying for different audiences. Studios need to better protect and prepare actors for the toxic wave of online fandom. Memorable Quotes: "If you're not watching Peacemaker, you're doing yourself a disservice. It's phenomenal TV." – Thomas "Star Wars didn't change. You just didn't know what it was about when you were a kid." – Frank "Shared trauma is what bonds us. Like Mufasa dying in The Lion King—we all lived through that." – Jonathan "It might not be for you. But it might be someone's favorite Star Wars, and that matters." – Frank "The fandom won't grow if we gatekeep. Let new fans fall in love the same way we did." – Thomas Call to Action: If you enjoyed this episode, share it with a fellow geek and leave us a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
