This week over on the Patreon, we continue raiding the toy box with Mattel’s first attempt at box office gold, a movie so bad it basically bankrupted Cannon Films. It was also directed by a gay pedophile (source: LA Times). MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE (the old one)
This week on Marvelous!, the most important movie ever made if you’re a mother, a daughter, a female CEO, or a millennial aged woman. It’s the dawn of the Mattel Cinematic Universe. BARBIE Link below 💅🛼🩷
She’s everything. They’re just her co-hosts. This Thursday, it’s finally time to talk about the big pink (post-)feminist cause célèbre, that important, existentialist, billion-dollar movie about a fucking doll. BARBIE

At last, we come to The Flash, the penultimate entry yet final nail in the coffin of the pre-Gunn DCEU. Yes, it's that bad. But we had a good time talking about it! www.marvelousdeath.com/e/the-flash-...
The Flash (2023), or The Flush | Marvelous! Or, the Death of Cinema
The flailing DCEU runs at light-speed into a brick wall with this misbegotten penultimate pre-reboot entry. Ugly and unfunny, even the film's sole interesting element - Ezra Miller's weird and hysteri...

We’re joined by filmmaker Chris Bell to talk about Blue Beetle, easily the best euthanasia-period DCEU movie and one I am told is about a guy who is more popular than Iron Man if you’re going by children’s merchandise. LINK BELOW ⬇️🇲🇽🪲
Skill issue if you got filtered. My defense is up over on @theartsfuse.bsky.social artsfuse.org/332409/film-...
Film Review: "Her Private Hell" - A Rorschach Test in Neon and Leather - The Arts Fuse
Nicolas Winding Refn’s baffling, vibe‑driven film trades narrative for fetish—and asks whether you still care what the critics think.
artsfuse.org
Nicole “loose critic” Veneto@kuntsuragi.bsky.social · last mo.Review to come, but so many people got filtered by Her Private Hell because they made the mistake of interpreting it as a literal narrative and not as an aesthetized, psychosexual dreamscape of a character’s rampant daddy issues. You’re not getting Drive-era Refn back. Here’s The Leather Man!
ICYMI: The Black Casebook is back and bigger than ever, baby. We're examining the good, the bad, and the ugly of Frank Miller and The Dark Knight Returns, a document of the '80s that still resonates profoundly with the way life feels in 2026.
The Black Casebook@blackcasebook.bsky.social · last mo.NEW EPISODE! The Black Casebook returns with a suitably epic analysis of perhaps the single most influential story in Batman's history. Frank Miller and his collaborators called down the lightning to make this book; four decades later, we're still interpreting the thunder. pod.link/1618791941/e...

Hopefully enough time has finally passed to say that Across the Spider-Verse is a tad overrated. We’re talking Oops! All Easter Eggs, the multiverse burden, Phil Lord pixelfucking everyone, exhume a dead horse to relitigate the “is Spider-Gwen trans?” debate. LINK BELOW
Perfectly fine but a tad overrated I must say. “Animation is cinema” crowd is not sending their best.

This week on Marvelous!, the people’s franchise finally succumbs to the Marvel Method, and no amount of NOS-fueled car hijinks can save it. Forget about it cuh, this shit blows. FAST X

Marvelous! Or, the Death of Cinema@marvelousdeath.com · 2mo agoFor the entire run of the podcast so far, we've (regrettably) ignored one of the largest film franchises of our time.

It's what I was born to do. Super fun, I always like hanging out with Ty and Andy. If anybody remembers the YouTube series "This Troper", I did some readings for that way back in the day. On a Turtle Beach gaming headset lol.
