To celebrate the 85th Anniversary of Captain America, we’re exploring Cap’s 1979 TV movie, and Marvel’s 70s Cinematic Universe! We’ll dig into the deal between Marvel Comics, Universal Television, and CBS that brought us TV movies and TV shows starring The Amazing Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk, Dr Strange, and Captain America! We'll get into how the deal began and how it all fell apart, how the Captain America TV movie was made, why Reb Brown was cast as Steve Rogers, and how the film nearly ended the career of the director before it had ever begun! We'll also pay special attention to the Captain America comic books of the 1970's, how they took influence from the shifting sands of America's social and political climate, and how the Seventies transformed Captain America into a true rebel! Then we’ll deep-dive the movie itself, pull it apart scene-by-scene and dig into everything this movie got right (the bike) and everything it got wrong! Plus we've packed the episode with tons of unexplored Marvel history and trivia about the Super Soldier Serum, the SECOND origin of Captain America, the Super Soldiers who also got powers in the war, how Marvel tied their Golden Age characters into their Silver Age characters, and tons more! Plus we've got all the Marvel Connections of every actor in this movie, no matter how tenuous or strenuous they may be!

This week we head into the MVM archives to take you behind the scenes on the making of Wolverine’s last stand in the 2017 Logan movie! We’ll take you through all the Box Office numbers for every movie Wolverine has fronted, and then explore James Mangold’s process for creating one of the best Marvel movies of all time! We’ll look into Mangold’s influences, from classic Westerns like “Shane” to Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy. We’ll explore Hugh Jackman’s decision to never play Wolverine ever again … and why that didn’t last long. We’ll also find out how and why the movie got an R rating, how it made history at the Academy Awards, and which classic villain was meant to play a big role before cut from the final draft of the screenplay!

Rob and Will take a deep-dive into what is easily the worst X-Men movie ever made, the 2019 Dark Phoenix! The 19 year Fox X-Men saga comes to a sad end as we explore the disastrous production process of this movie - from the plans to the executions, from the disagreements with the studio, to the painful test screenings, the re-writes and the re-shoots, all through to the god-awful reviews! We'll also go behind-the-page on the history of the Dark Phoenix comics, and what makes it the greatest Marvel story of all time! Then we take a deep-dive into the Dark Phoenix movie, pull it apart scene-by-scene, bring you all the obscure Marvel Connections, debate everything good and everything crappy about the film, see how it compares to X-Men Last Stand, bring you tons of X-Men history and trivia, and FINALLY decide on what is the WORST Marvel movie we've ever covered on the podcast!
