Marvelous! Or, the Death of Cinema

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, or "Gaping Orifices"


Listen Later

Finally, some fucking mid.

Even late-period Sam Raimi (more the guy who made Oz the Great and Powerful than Evil Dead or Spider-Man 2) manages to pick the bar up from the depths of hell to make something we can at least trip and stumble on. We literally remember nothing about the first Doctor Strange, so this is a marked improvement even if it's marred by another bad screenplay from one of Dan Harmon's writers. And hey, Elizabeth Olsen is having fun for the first time in five movies? Was this movie worth its $500 million price tag? Probably not. Is it one of the better recent Marvel movies we've had to sit through? Despite everything, yes.

Plus, we derail the episode for a live reaction to Zohran Mamdani winning the NYC democratic mayoral primary.
