Brian Pastor - Executive Artistic Director of the City Lit Theater in Chicago - joins company mates Mark Pracht and Sean Harklerode (along with lowly podcaster Tad) to discuss the first issues of Marvel's Secret Wars and DC's Crisis On Infinite Earths.
Kevin Feige is promising major “pinch-me” moments for Avengers: Secret Wars, and all signs increasingly point to Doctor Doom sitting at the center of Marvel's next big reset. Jim Hill and Dan Graney break down the newest Avengers: Doomsday rumors, the Russo Brothers' unusual script process, Wanda speculation, and the possible future of Vision Quest. They also dig into new Marvel casting, Avengers Campus construction, Jack Kirby tributes, Star Wars' post-sequel plans, and the return of classic Indiana Jones comics. HIGHLIGHTS • Kevin Feige calls Doctor Doom the centerpiece of Secret Wars and teases crossover moments Marvel fans have never seen on screen. • The Russo Brothers reveal Avengers: Doomsday began production without a finished script, describing the screenplay as a “living organism.” • New rumors point toward Wanda Maximoff's possible return and suggest Doom may be targeting characters whose lives were changed by time travel and the multiverse. • Noah Jupe joins Secret Wars in a mystery role, sparking theories ranging from Franklin Richards and Doom's son to Molecule Man and the Beyonder. • Vision Quest is now positioned around the same point in the MCU timeline as Spider-Man: Brand New Day and may be laying groundwork for Avengers: The Children's Crusade. • Marvel casting chatter includes Asa Germann as Angel, reported Al Pacino talks, Emma Myers rumors, and Destin Daniel Cretton returning for another Spider-Man movie. • Disney's World Builders offers a closer look at Avengers Infinity Defense and Stark Flight Lab, including the ride systems and Marvel technology behind the attractions. • Jack Kirby's legacy gets new attention through an Avengers Campus tribute, a New York street dedication, and upcoming books exploring his career. • Star Wars begins moving beyond the sequel trilogy with its New Jedi Order era while the original 1977 film prepares for a 50th-anniversary IMAX release. • Marvel's classic Indiana Jones comics return in deluxe collections alongside a brand-new series set after Raiders of the Lost Ark.

A Spider-Man movie can be huge without feeling bloated, and Brand New Day is the proof. We walk through why this film lands so hard by doing something simple: it pulls Peter Parker back down to the street, takes away the safety net of Stark tech, and forces him to survive on grit, instincts, and choices that actually hurt. Tom Holland delivers one of his strongest physical and emotional performances, and we dig into the parts that make this version of Spider-Man feel fully grown up.We also unpack the story mechanics that keep the pace moving without drowning the lead character. The movie packs in comic book Easter eggs, Damage Control chaos, and cameos like Yelena Belova as Black Widow, but the heart stays with Peter. Then the wild card hits: Jean Grey arrives as a telepath who body-hops, can't crack Peter's mind, and spirals after learning what VentMax really means. We argue about whether she's truly the antagonist, and how the movie quietly uses her to open the door for the X-Men in the MCU.From there, we get into the messiest emotional threads: Punisher's chaotic “crazy uncle” energy, the MJ mind-game sequence that weaponizes hope, and the real debate about agency when Peter withholds the truth for years. We also spotlight the scenes that surprised us, like the Ned reunion moment and Aunt May's memory becoming the thing that saves the day. Finally, we talk about the universal inhibitor Peter builds and why it might become a massive mutant problem later, plus our ratings and what we think Marvel is setting up on the road to Doomsday and Secret Wars.If you're into Spider-Man reviews, MCU breakdowns, and X-Men setup speculation, hit play, subscribe, share this with a fellow webhead, and leave a review.

Gen V's Asa Germann is joining Marvel's X-Men as Angel after screen testing for Cyclops. The new mutants probably sit out Avengers: Doomsday, but Sadie Sink, Kit Connor, and Inde Navarrette are strong bets for Secret Wars.Asa Germann tested for Cyclops before Kit Connor landed the part, and Marvel offered him Warren Worthington III instead. His run as Sam Riordan on Gen V showed he can play a psychologically broken hero, which sets him up well if the MCU gets to Angel's Archangel storyline with Apocalypse. From there the talk turns to where the new X-Men show up first, with Secret Wars looking far more likely than Doomsday, plus some love for Gen V after its cancellation.0:00 Asa Germann Cast as Angel0:17 X-Men in Doomsday or Secret Wars0:30 Gen V Deserved MoreAsa Germann is playing Warren Worthington III, aka Angel, in Marvel's X-Men after testing for CyclopsHis work as Sam Riordan on Gen V makes him a strong fit for an Archangel storyline with ApocalypseExpect the new X-Men to skip Avengers: Doomsday, with Sadie Sink, Kit Connor, and Inde Navarrette the likeliest Secret Wars appearancesGen V never matched The Boys but had a lot of potential left when it ended"We already know that he plays the psychologically broken person well from Gen V, so once Angel does the whole Archangel storyline with Apocalypse, I think he's going to be an extra good fit there."

Let's discuss some NON-NEGOTIABLES for the future MCU after Secret Wars! Does the MCU NEED a Tony Stark in it? Should villains like Norman Osborn, Kang the Conquerer, and Apocalypse always be background threats? Should the Mutant Saga never truly end?

It's Greg's birthday stream!!
Welcome to Multiverse News, your source for information about all your favorite fictional universes.Avengers: Secret Wars doesn't seem so far away these days, especially with the surprise announcement from Deadline that A Quiet Place and Hamnet star Noah Jupe is the first to land a new, secret role in the film. We're on the precipice of Avengers: Doomsday this December and still don't know much about the plot, but that doesn't mean we're not ready to speculate! The MCU continues to pile on record-breaking stats, with the Avengers: Endgame Encore trailer garnering 77 million views within the first 24-hours of its release. This shatters any previously held record for a re-released film trailer; that number is more than four times any other amount. Spider-Man: Brand New Day took the number one spot at the box office again this weekend and has passed Avengers: Endgame to become the second highest grossing domestic film of all time. At number two, Ketchup Entertainment's theatrical rescue of Warner Bros Animation's Coyote vs. Acme hit its forecast with a very solid $15.4 million opening. 20th Century Studios' Ridley Scott dystopian future Jacob Elordi, Margaret Qualley, and Josh Brolin movie, Dog Stars, had a low $8 million opening off a $70 million production cost. Casper Kelly's horror comedy Buddy took the number six spot at the domestic box office with $5.36 million, a solid start for a film that was released on less than 1,800 total screens.In an interview with The L.A. Times, Ridley Scott confirmed that there is a sequel to 2017's Alien: Covenant in active development. He said the film “will pick up with David (Fassbender) creating a ‘brave new world for himself." Tim Curry who rose to fame in Hollywood for his iconic roles in It, Clue, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show has passed away at the age of 80. Anne Hathaway has joined the cast of Days of Thunder 2 at Paramount alongside returning star Tom Cruise. Paramount has also announced that the film will be released June 2, 2028. HBO Max released the first full trailer for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. The series will premiere over Christmas.Showrunner Tom King confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that Nathan Fillion will reprise his role of Green Lantern Guy Gardner in the DCU for the upcoming animated Mister Miracle series.Netflix has released the first trailer for East of Eden, Zoe Kazan's adaptation of the John Steinbeck novel that stars Florence Pugh. The limited series is seven episodes long and will begin streaming on October 1.
Moon kicks things off with the full report from the Cali Country Cruise, sailing from Long Beach to Ensenada, Mexico. The lineup included Tracy Lawrence, Gretchen Wilson, Jo Dee Messina, Chase Rice and plenty more, while Moon performed with Sullivan. There were some musical highs, some musical... let's call them learning opportunities... and the revelation that Jo Dee Messina may have discovered the ultimate cruise hack: perform before the ship leaves and then GET OFF THE BOAT.Gretchen Wilson, meanwhile, delivered one of Moon's highlights of the entire trip with a killer performance and band. Unfortunately, the actual cruise experience wasn't getting the same review. We're talking pricey Wi-Fi that barely worked, a balcony-room mix-up, limited excursion options, fake Cuban cigars, a stage built over the pool and a tiny backup pool populated by people who apparently had no interest in ever getting out.From there, this funny podcast turns into a tour of America's most overrated attractions. Four Corners gets roasted. Mount Rushmore gets called smaller than expected. Times Square takes a hit. The Las Vegas Strip lands at the top of the list. Lern also reveals she once got emotional seeing Chicago's Bean, proving once again that public art can be powerful when it looks like a gigantic piece of silver produce.A swimmer at Lake Tahoe reportedly gets attacked by an otter and requires 38 stitches, prompting Rafe to immediately begin defending the otter because apparently wildlife now has legal representation on The Rizzuto Show. Then there's a possible shark attack near the Massachusetts location associated with Jaws, followed by the deeply upsetting story of a woman waking from a dream about a mouse crawling toward her mouth... only to discover there was actually a BAT near her mouth.We also discover a Hawaiian shirt designed to confuse AI-powered surveillance cameras, which means Weird Al may have been preparing for the surveillance state this entire time.Missouri and Illinois get dragged into America's "worst vibes" rankings before the crew investigates which states hate each other the most. Missouri's answer? Kansas. Obviously. Centuries pass, civilizations rise and fall, and Missouri will apparently still find time to be annoyed by Kansas.Moon kicks things off with the glamorous realities of modern air travel after seemingly every flight on his trip decided that “on time” was more of a suggestion. A canceled connection, rerouting through Dallas, delays into Los Angeles and another delay getting back to St. Louis gave him plenty of time to catch up on movies. Unfortunately, that included The Mandalorian and Grogu, which gets a very enthusiastic C-minus review. Somewhere, a Star Wars fan just felt a disturbance in the Force.Then we discover that Americans apparently hit an energy wall around 2:48 in the afternoon, which explains basically every email you've ever received after lunch. Rafe's sleep schedule is wrecked, Lern is fighting afternoon cravings with hard-boiled eggs, and that leads to perhaps the most important culinary advice ever delivered on a funny podcast: if you've already hard-boiled the egg, you're halfway to a deviled egg.That discussion somehow turns into stale cereal confessions. Lern admits to eating old strawberry vanilla Chex after band practice while Rafe reveals that he knowingly ate stale Pops AND stale Golden Grahams. This is less a morning show and more four adults slowly admitting things that should probably stay between themselves and their pantries.Then it's time for Crap on Celebrities, where things get appropriately ridiculous. A woman is accused of stealing and crashing an ambulance outside an Avenged Sevenfold and Good Charlotte concert. Sevendust drummer Morgan Rose gets some love. Gibson is releasing an extremely limited Billy Gibbons “Pearly Gates” Les Paul. Sean Ono Lennon welcomes his first child, making John Lennon and Yoko Ono grandparents for the first time. There's also a Matthew Perry documentary on the way, more Tulsa King, and the crew tries to understand the enormous world of people watching other people play video games.Speaking of gaming, Grand Theft Auto gets everybody talking about Twitch, streaming communities, gameplay fandoms, and the strange realization that watching someone else play a game can become an entire entertainment ecosystem. Scott even admits he made “multiple dollars” streaming, so please respect the media mogul.Hollywood keeps the nonsense rolling with Emmy gift bags, Marvel's mysterious Secret Wars casting, Hamnet, and Ridley Scott reportedly having some thoughts about Paul Mescal and Gladiator 2. That opens the floodgates because Rafe and Moon are more than happy to discuss just how much they hated that movie. Sharks in the Coliseum are put on trial. The verdict is not favorable.There's also a live-action Street Fighter movie coming with a completely unhinged cast, including Jason Momoa, 50 Cent, Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, Eric André and more. Apparently somebody looked at the casting board and selected “yes.”Finally, Journey brings Steve Perry look-alike Hugo Valenti onstage during shows in Japan, causing some fans to apparently wonder whether the real Steve Perry had returned. The crew listens to the results, and that goes exactly as respectfully as longtime listeners would expect.Throw in birthdays, Terry Bradshaw, Keanu Reeves, Salma Hayek, Rafe's increasingly dangerous wordplay, and all the other nonsense that somehow qualifies as broadcasting, and you've got another funny podcast from The Rizzuto Show.Delayed flights. Deviled eggs. Stale Pops. Celebrity fails. Video games. Gladiator sharks. Fake Steve Perry.We accomplished nothing and covered everything.The Cali-Country Cruise7 most overrated US attractionsWoman attacked by otter while swimming says 'it felt like a human'Woman gets potential shark bite off Martha's Vineyard, in the town "Jaws" was filmedWhich US state has the worst vibes?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Moon is back from California and Mexico, Rizz is out, and naturally the captain's chair immediately becomes a command center for delayed flights, stale cereal, deviled eggs, celebrity nonsense, video games, and a surprisingly passionate takedown of Gladiator 2.

The Avengers: Doomsday trailer has fans convinced there are two Doctor Dooms in this movie, and that one of them might not be Robert Downey Jr. at all. Frank and Squeaks break down the eye color, the two suits, and the Cillian Murphy voice theory, then look at what happens to Marvel when Kevin Feige's contract runs out in 2027. From there it turns into a full state of the franchises. The Feige succession list runs from Brad Winderbaum to Louis D'Esposito to one genuine wild card pick, before Star Wars gets put on the table: the Ahsoka trailer, Thrawn's return, Starfighter, and whether the Rey movie ever actually happens. Then Pirates of the Caribbean, where Disney is reportedly writing two competing scripts, and Frank pitches the real seventeenth century pirate queen whose story would beat both of them. Plus a Dungeon Crawler Carl check-in and a Question of the Week about how you would prove someone is an alien. 0:00 Intro and BlizzCon Countdown 1:34 Question of the Week: How Do You Test for an Alien 3:16 The Two Doctor Dooms Theory 11:05 Who Replaces Kevin Feige in 2027 22:36 Star Wars Without the Skywalker Name 29:33 Ahsoka, Thrawn, and the Sequel Era Gaps 34:15 Pirates of the Caribbean and Its Two Competing Scripts 46:22 Dungeon Crawler Carl Check-In Key takeaways: The two Doom theory rests on three small trailer details: the eyes reading green in one shot and closer to blue in another, two distinct suits, and a voice some fans think sounds more like Cillian Murphy than RDJ. There is precedent too, since dueling Dooms from different universes is the current main story in Marvel Rivals. Frank's argument for a recast is about longevity. RDJ's betrayal only works once as a surprise, so if Doom is meant to carry the MCU past Secret Wars, you need an actor you can keep around. The Feige succession shortlist: Brad Winderbaum brings television experience and would likely greenlight Midnight Sons immediately, Louis D'Esposito is the operations veteran who would need a creative partner like the Russos, and Frank's wild card is Iman Vellani, who is now writing comics for Marvel and Image. Both hosts want Star Wars to break from the Skywalker name completely, with Dave Filoni doing for the sequels what The Clone Wars did for the prequels. Frank also makes the case that Ahsoka, not Rey, is the real heir to the Anakin lineage. Disney has two Pirates scripts in play, one led by Margot Robbie as Red and one featuring younger versions of the original cast. Squeaks calls the Red version predictable, and Frank counters with Zheng Yi Sao, a real pirate commander the Chinese government eventually had to negotiate with instead of fight. Frank: "I'd actually respect Marvel for keeping a secret for once." Frank: "I've been hurt too many times by Kevin Feige." Squeaks: "It's time to go away from the Skywalker in total." Frank: "The true descendant to Anakin is not Rey. It's not even Luke. Frankly, it is Ahsoka." Squeaks: "That's the same thing we see everywhere. Find something new." All news discussed on this episode comes from GeekFreaksPodcast.com. If you have a theory about which Doom is the real one, follow the show on Apple Podcasts or Spotify and leave a review so more people find these breakdowns. Share this one with the friend who still thinks RDJ is playing both of them. #GeekFreaksPodcast Follow Geek Freaks: Instagram: @GeekFreaksPodcast TikTok: @GeekFreaksPodcast Twitter: @GeekFreaksPod Threads: https://www.threads.net/@geekfreakspodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thegeekfreakspodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcast YouTube: Geek Freaks Podcast Got a question, a counter theory, or a topic you want covered?

The original Avengers had to prove Marvel's shared-universe experiment could work. Avengers: Doomsday may have an even harder job: proving that years of movies, Disney+ series, multiverse stories, new heroes, legacy characters, and shifting plans can still feel like one connected MCU. Eric looks back at what made Phase One's buildup so special, why the Multiverse Saga hasn't necessarily suffered from too little setup—but from too little convergence—and why meaningful team-ups are still part of Marvel's secret sauce. Can Doomsday reconnect all of these scattered roads and make the last several years feel like they were building toward something? And could smaller teams like the X-Men, Midnight Suns, Young Avengers, and West Coast Avengers help Marvel rediscover that sense of anticipation after Secret Wars? The original Avengers had to prove the experiment worked. Doomsday has to remind everybody why the experiment was special in the first place. Enjoying Marvel Maniac?

They skipped a month. The Marvel universe did not. This month on Puny Pod, the MCU rewatch podcast that covers the Marvel Cinematic Universe in release order, Ryan and David are back with the August 2026 Bugle — and after a month off, there is a lot to get through. This is the Thanksgiving episode. You have been fasting. There is food on the table. The headliner is a full review of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. They go spoiler-free first — box office numbers, reception, a basic lay of the land — and then the guardrails come off. Four years after No Way Home, Peter Parker is alone, anonymous, and quietly mutating. Ryan and David dig into what that means for the character, what Sadie Sink is actually doing in this movie, why the Punisher and Spider-Man dynamic worked, what the Hulk showing up meant for the story, and why this might be the best MJ has ever been on screen. Plus: the Department of Damage Control, Ned's conspiracy board, and the most aggressive product placement in recent Marvel memory. Then it's on to San Diego Comic-Con. Ryan Coogler is returning for Black Panther 3, and the new Black Panther has been cast. Ryan Gosling is officially Ghost Rider, directed by Sean Levy, and fans are already doing the math on a potential Midnight Suns lineup. Kevin Feige confirmed there will be no Marvel movies between Doomsday and Secret Wars. Avengers: Endgame is getting a re-release on September 25th to go back after Avatar's box office record. And Ryan Reynolds spent Comic-Con cosplaying on the convention floor as Deadpool, because of course he did. Ryan closes things out with a full Avengers: Doomsday prep guide: which movies to watch, which ones you can skip if you're short on time, and what TV shows are actually worth adding to the rotation before the film hits. X-Men '97 is being saved for September. The Spokane wildfires are briefly addressed — if you can donate, inovia.org is one place to do it. Next up on Puny Pod: Mystery Men. Themes by J.R.

Becoming strategic partners with China is like opening Pandora's box – we just don't know what we're going to get. China specialist Dennis Molinaro on the diplomatic pitfalls Canada needs to watch out for.
The guys are back to discuss which of the new character updates sound exciting before digging into their experiences at the recent Secret Wars Marvel Crisis Protocol Team Event. We need to change the name of the podcast after this one!
Secret Wars Three, baby!!!!! That is right. We are (sorta) starting our coverage of the amazing event here. Then we are putting the rest behind a paywall. Why, because that is how we roll. For now, let us take a look at this Free Comic Book Day book. Like any good war, secret or otherwise, there is a lot of pushing and posturing and "boy you are lucky they are holding me back" moments. And this is the same. But it really is between realities more than people. And concepts. And cookies Why did this war happen? Well, there are many reasons. But I like to think that the whole reason the mess started was because Namor stole Dr. Dooms radio. I know I am probably wrong, but it sounds like a reasonable reason for a war. But think about the kids!!!! OK, fine, let's think about the kids. First of all, they are too smart for their own good. They probably are the real cause of the war. Why do they need to scheme so much? Why aren't bikes good enough for them? Geez. In the end, it does not matter who started what. A war was started, and it was not really all that secret. And it happened for a third time. And this probably won't be the last time. OK, let's just blame the kids.

Marvel's Midnight Universe is getting ready to open its doors, and this week we're going straight to two of the writers helping build it. Benjamin Percy and Phillip Kennedy Johnson join the AIPT Comics Podcast for an extended conversation about Midnight Fantastic Four and Midnight Spider-Man, two of the three series launching Marvel's new horror-infused universe on October 7. Along with Jonathan Hickman on Midnight X-Men, Percy and Johnson are helping to establish a world in which familiar Marvel characters are being rebuilt through body horror, cosmic terror, and some seriously disturbing new origins. Percy digs into the Lovecraftian nightmare behind his Fantastic Four, why their familiar powers are closer to curses, the influence of California's strange scientific and occult history, and just how grotesque Reed Richards' elasticity can become. Johnson takes us inside his radically different Peter Parker, the role Oscorp plays in his transformation, ScieTronc's horrifying designs, and why calling this version of Peter "Man-Spider" barely scratches the surface. The conversation also gets into the larger Midnight Universe, including how Percy, Johnson, and Hickman are coordinating their books, how carefully they're approaching other Marvel characters, plans for the universe to eventually expand, and yes, whether Hickman's beloved data pages are coming along for the ride. Visit our Patreon page to see the various tiers you can sign up for today to get in on the ground floor of AIPT Patreon. We hope to see you chatting with us on our Discord soon!

Dave: Tomb of Apocalypse #1 (Pablo Villalobos) Chris: Next Level: One Shot #1 (Fernando Blanco Main Cover) Interview: Midnight Universe - Ben Percy (Midnight FF) and Phillip Kennedy Johnson (Midnight Spider-Man) - Out October 7, FOC Aug 31 You're both taking characters whose origins are among the most familiar in comics and rebuilding them through horror. What was the first thing each of you identified in the classic Fantastic Four and Spider-Man origins that could become genuinely frightening in the Midnight Universe? Since this is horror, are you inverting who is the hero? I.e. is Spider-Man the villain and hsi rogues the bad guys, same for FF, or is that giving too much away? Ben, the Fantastic Four have always been explorers pushing into the unknown, but here that curiosity seems potentially catastrophic. How much of Midnight Fantastic Four is about Reed Richards being unable to leave certain doors unopened, even when every instinct should tell him to stop? Phillip, you've described wanting Peter Parker's transformation to feel like something conceived by H.R. Giger and directed by David Cronenberg. Once Peter becomes this grotesque spider hybrid, how do you preserve the humanity and responsibility that make him recognizably Spider-Man? Both books seem fascinated with science going somewhere it absolutely should not go. How differently do Reed and Peter respond to the realization that scientific progress has created something horrifying, and do you see them as cautionary reflections of each other? The solicit for Midnight Fantastic Four #2 mentions revisiting and redefining the perils of the atomic age. Ben, what interested you about connecting the Fantastic Four to that particular period of scientific optimism, anxiety, and destruction? Phillip, Oscorp isn't simply responsible for Peter's transformation. They're apparently using what they learn from him to create more human-animal hybrids. Does that give this version of Spider-Man a different relationship with his rogues gallery, especially characters like the Lizard and Doctor Octopus? Kev Walker and ScieTronc have incredibly distinct visual identities. Were there moments when their designs or pages came back and actually changed your understanding of this universe, or pushed the horror further than what you'd originally scripted? Horror can become less frightening once readers understand its rules. With both of you planning potentially very long runs, how do you keep the Midnight Universe mysterious and unsettling after readers have spent 20, 30, or even 50 issues living inside it? I know your books haven't launched just yet, but it's hard not to be excited for your books to somehow connect, given Spidey and the FF are thoroughly linked in the 616. Have you dreamed up crossovers yet? Finally, the important Midnight Universe question: if Midnight Spider-Man and the Midnight Fantastic Four were trapped together in a horror movie, who dies first, who somehow survives, and who makes the catastrophically bad decision to say, “Let's split up”?

A Queer Arcana Full Moon Party at the Palm Springs Art Musuem I'm so excited to announce that I'm teaming up with the Palm Springs Art Museum for their exhibition, A Queer Arcana, which celebrates queer artists from the last century who have used esoteric practices, including tarot, as sources of inspiration, healing, creativity, and resistance. To celebrate the exhibition, I've brought together a team of dear friends and fellow queer tarot readers who will be offering mini tarot readings during the opening event on the Pisces Full Moon Lunar Eclipse, August 28th, at the Palm Springs Art Museum. Joining us will be Corinna Rosella of Milk Thistle, husbands Brandon Alter and Angel Lopez of The Spiritual Gayz, and Mr. Starry Skies Alan, also known as Mantis Tarot, a tarot author. All five of us will be there offering mini readings throughout the evening, and we cannot wait to celebrate with you! There's also something especially meaningful to me about this exhibition. My beloved teacher, Rachel Pollack, who passed away a few years ago, is represented in the exhibit through the original artwork from her tarot deck, displayed in a glass case alongside other feminist tarot decks and works of esoteric art. Rachel was the author of 78 Degrees of Wisdom and Tarot Wisdom, and their work profoundly shaped my own relationship with tarot. It feels incredibly special to be part of an exhibition that honors the ways queer people have turned to tarot and other esoteric practices not only for divination, but as tools for healing, self-discovery, imagination, and resistance. So please come join us for Queer Arcana on August 28th at the Palm Springs Art Museum. Come see the exhibition, celebrate queer history and creativity, and let one of us pull cards for you under the Pisces Full Moon Eclipse. We can't wait to celebrate with you!

SPOILER ALERT Is Spider-Man: Brand New Day the best movie of the year? Jason is not joking. Mostly. This week on Thumb War, Jason, Rachel, and special guest Jesh break down Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Tom Holland's return as Peter Parker, the loneliness after the memory wipe, the Punisher/Spider-Man buddy-comedy energy, Jean Grey's shocking arrival, Bruce Banner, MJ and Ned, organic webbing, second puberty, mutant power dampeners, and whether Marvel is officially back. Plus: Tom Holland's wild eyebrow, bodega cleaner placement, Marisa Tomei blame, Black Widow in a Russian bath, Spider-Man's “no friends” era, Punisher chili, Hulk chaos, MJ's muscle-memory handshake, Secret Wars theories, Miles Morales speculation, and Jason deciding this movie hit his 13-year-old comic-book brain harder than almost anything else this year.
