Marveling At Marvel's Marvels

In this episode, we break down the 2011 Marvel event, Spider-Island! Due to a situation explained at the beginning of the episode, we're not quite as lively as we could have been; but given the circumstances, I think we do a fine job of pulling it together!  

Heads up, this is a mighty strange episode. In seeking to understand The Headmen (the oddball supervillain team consisting of Dr. Arthur Nagan, Chondu the Mystic, Ruby Thursday, and Jerry), we dive headfirst into the strange world of Steve Gerber. Prepare for Omega the Unknown, Elf with a Gun, and brains in bowls: it’s gonna get weird in here.

We dig our claws into Daken, son of Wolverine in this episode! We'll explore this character, chat with Josef about fatherhood, and maybe even give a hint as to our next episode...

It's a bonus half episode! As a companion to our WandaVision, Jon explains Falcon and the Winter Soldier to Josef and hijinks ensue! Needless to say, we spoil the $#!& out of the show, so maybe watch before listening...

By popular demand, your favorite podcasters are diving into Marvel TV! Join us as we talk extensively about WandaVision, Disney's inaugural MCU show. It goes without saying, heavy spoilers for the show, so if you're interested, consider watching before listening.  

When it comes to comic characters, time travelers are especially confusing. But this dude? He's in a league of his own. Join us as we try to understand Kang and (most of) his other identities!

John Walker has so many super hero identities that we needed a jumbo episode to cover them all! Join us as we talk about his turns as Super Patriot, Captain America, and U.S. Agent!  SPOILER ALERT: We talk about some plot points of The Falcon & Winter Soldier Disney+ series, so those wishing to stay spoiler-free may wish to come back to this episode after they've watched it. 

This episode was a long time coming- our detectives have been asking for us to cover her for years and we finally caved. Join us as we discuss one of the greatest heroes in all of comicdom: Wonder Woman! 

In this (relatively) family friendly episode, we present several of Marvel's greatest teen heroes, the Young Avengers! We uncover some surprising twists & turns along the way as we give an introduction to this amazing team.  As per special request from North of the border, we've cleaned up this episode, replacing all foul language with more acceptable words. Finally, you can Marvel in front of your children!

On our latest episode, we take our time dissecting the fastest man in the Marvel universe, Quicksilver. Come to learn how many fathers Quicksilver has had and stay to find out whether cows have horns! It's a wild ride this week...

In this episode, we dig into the 2005 event House of M. We'll explain the stories leading up to the event, the 8 issue series itself, and the repercussions on the Marvel Universe as a whole. We avoid discussing spoilers for the Wandavision Disney+ series, but as that series is ongoing, there's a chance some of the storylines here will end up on the show. 

It's the ultimate podcast crossover, as we proudly welcome Katie & Allen from Werewolf Ambulance! The 2020 New Mutants movie? I'm not sure anyone should be proud of that... Join us as we try to make sense of this mess, explain to Katie how the X-Men work, and welcome back Allen for a very special visit. 

We're extremely proud to bring you one of the strangest characters we've ever covered: Ulysses Solomon Archer and his truck U.S.1! Borne of a line of toys and the trucker craze of the late seventies, this is a comic you need to hear to believe. There's so much crazy that we needed to bring in a special guest presenter: Kris, host of the MegaDumbCast. Thank you, Kris, for exposing us all to the madness of U.S.1!

We put out a call and you responded! In this episode, we check out some listener suggestions for future episodes. Join us as we dig into strange, curious, and outrageous listener requests!

Now that Josef has a fair knowledge of Marvel characters, we discuss the team that brings them all together: the Avengers! Since 1963, this team has been Marvel's premier supergroup and we tackle at least a little of that history! 

We delve this week into the long sordid history of Warren Worthington, III. Also known as Angel, Archangel, Death, and Dark Angel, there's a lot to unpack here...

From the far future comes tomorrow's hero, Spider-Man 2099! Join us as we explain future history, discuss the evils of corporations, and try to decide which dystopia is better: Marvel 2099 or the United States 2020...
