The bracket rolls on in March Spidey-Less, where we’re on a mission to crown the worst Spider-Man movie without Spider-Man.

In this matchup, Venom: The Last Dance goes head-to-head with Morbius in a battle of chaotic storytelling, questionable choices, and meme-worthy moments.

We break down both films, from what almost works to what completely falls apart, and debate which one deserves to advance closer to the finals. Is it the over-the-top symbiote chaos of Venom’s latest outing, or the infamous, internet-fueled legacy of Morbius?

Only one can move forward in the bracket — and in March Spidey-Less, that’s not exactly a good thing.

💬 Let us know which movie YOU think is worse and who should advance to the finals!

The bracket continues in March Spidey-Less, where we’re determining the worst Spider-Man movie… without Spider-Man.

In Round 2, the #1 seed Venom: Let There Be Carnage faces off against the #6 seed Madame Web in another battle of Sony’s most infamous Spidey-adjacent films.

We break down both movies, discuss what works (if anything), and highlight the moments that left audiences scratching their heads. From chaotic symbiote antics to confusing timelines and questionable creative choices, this matchup has plenty to debate.

Only one film can move on to the March Spidey-Less finals, where it will compete for the unfortunate honor of being crowned the worst Spider-Man-less movie.

Which movie advances… and which one escapes the bracket?

It’s time for our annual bracket challenge — but this year we’re flipping the script.

Welcome to March Spidey-Less, where we take some of the most infamous Spider-Man–related movies from Sony’s universe and battle them out to crown the worst Spider-Man movie without Spider-Man. Each matchup is a head-to-head showdown, and the winners advance toward a chaotic 3-movie final round to determine the ultimate Spidey-Less disaster.

In Game 1, we’re putting Venom up against Kraven the Hunter. We break down both films, discuss what works (if anything), what absolutely doesn’t, and decide which one deserves to move one step closer to being crowned the worst entry in Sony’s Spider-Man universe.

Only one movie can advance… but in this bracket, advancing might actually be the worst honor of all. 🕷️

If you want, I can also help you come up with titles for the other bracket matchups and the final 3-way episode so the whole March Spidey-Less series feels cohesive.

"This episode continues our deep dive into the 'Time Runs Out' arc, covering *Avengers* #36 and *New Avengers* #25. In *Avengers* #36, we witness the emotional return of Cannonball and Smasher with their new baby, Josiah, as the wider Avengers team, led by Sunspot, gears up for a desperate, one-way mission across the dying multiverse. Odinson, Hyperion, Starbrand, Abyss, and the Ex Nihilii brave the unknown via the Auger, facing the ultimate sacrifice. Meanwhile, in *New Avengers* #25, the fugitive Illuminati are on the run and immediately thrust into crisis, scrambling to access Tony Stark's files while evading capture. Amadeus Cho is interrogated by a determined Susan Richards, and the stark reality of the incursions hits home with a devastating message from Black Panther: Wakanda has fallen. Join us as we explore these two converging narratives of heroism, sacrifice, and the terrifying approach of multiversal collapse!"

In this episode, we revisit Wonder Man #1 (1986) — the 52-page one-shot that re-tells Simon Williams’ origin and places him in a pivotal moment before Marvel Two-In-One #86 and West Coast Avengers #1.

We break down Simon’s attempt at living a “normal” life with a regular job at Cordco Delta Lab 3, how quickly that stability falls apart, and what this story reveals about his struggle with identity, purpose, and redemption. This issue re-examines his complicated past while positioning him for the next chapter of his Marvel journey.

If you’re a fan of classic Marvel storytelling, character-driven superhero drama, or you’re exploring Wonder Man ahead of modern adaptations, this is a fascinating piece of Marvel history worth revisiting.

This week we dive back into Wonder Man on Disney+ to break down episodes 5 - 8 and all the chaos, comedy, and curveballs they throw at Simon Williams. We dig into what worked, what didn’t, and at least one moment that was a punch to the face. Expect hot takes, favorite scenes, standout performances, and plenty of nerdy speculation about what’s coming next.

Marvel dives headfirst into Hollywood with Wonder Man, and the first four episodes give us a strange, funny, and surprisingly emotional story about fame, failure, and superpowers.

We follow struggling actor Simon Williams as his life falls apart just as he begins discovering dangerous new abilities. Alongside Trevor Slattery’s return and the Department of Damage Control monitoring Simon’s growing powers, the series blends satire of the entertainment industry with classic Marvel storytelling. Meanwhile, the rise and fall of Doorman adds another unpredictable layer to this chaotic world of celebrity superheroes.

In this episode, we break down the biggest moments from Episodes 1–4, discuss standout performances, and talk about how Wonder Man is shaping up compared to other Marvel Disney+ shows.

Before Men in Black became a blockbuster movie and global franchise, it was a strange, gritty comic series that many fans have never experienced.

In this installment of Movies You Didn’t Know Were Comics, we go back to where it all started by reviewing Volumes 1 and 2 of the original Men in Black series from Aircel Comics. This version of MIB is darker, more violent, and far more bizarre than the Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones film fans know and love.

We break down the comic’s take on alien conspiracies, secret government agencies, and the unsettling hidden world living alongside humanity. We also compare how the source material influenced the movie adaptation and explore why these comics remain one of the most overlooked foundations of a major pop culture franchise.

If you enjoy uncovering comic origins, adaptation comparisons, and deep dives into forgotten comic history, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

Before it became a blockbuster sci-fi comedy, Men in Black was a comic book.

In this installment of Movies You Didn’t Know Were Comics, we revisit the 1997 Men in Black movie, breaking down its comic origins, iconic moments, and why it still holds up decades later. From secret alien refugees hiding in plain sight to neuralyzers, Bugs in Edgar suits, and the mystery of “the galaxy on Orion’s Belt,” we dive into what makes this film such a timeless classic.

We talk Agents K and J, the alien conspiracy hidden behind tabloid headlines, and how Men in Black blended action, comedy, and comic book weirdness into one of the most memorable movies of the ’90s. If you love comic book history, sci-fi movies, or discovering hidden adaptations, this episode is for you.

We continue our dive into Jonathan Hickman’s Avengers saga with Avengers #35 and New Avengers #24 (2014), as the truth finally comes out — the universe is dying, and Earth is the cause.

In Avengers #35, stars go dark and cosmic forces move toward Earth while Sunspot begins assembling a new Avengers team, bringing together fractured heroes like Hyperion, Nightmask, Starbrand, and a broken Thor.

In New Avengers #24, the Cabal spirals out of control. Namor turns to Doctor Doom and is rejected, Professor X is forced to beg Thanos for death, and Wakanda’s last stand ends in devastating sacrifice. Behind it all, Doom begins quietly building a plan tied to the Multiverse and the Molecule Man.

This is Hickman at his bleakest — cosmic collapse, impossible choices, and heroes crossing lines they can’t return from.
