At this point, if you don't know what the MCU is, your finger is very much off the pulse. But that’s okay. You might just be a little confused about this episode. Recently (and by this I mean 2 or 3 years ago but time doesn’t exist it’s fine) film director Martin Scorsese said that he doesn’t consider Marvel films to be art and they’re more like amusement park rides. Now, if you don’t know who Scorsese is, you are on some kind of streak.

Does he have a point? Does Disney/Marvel’s success present some kind of brewing problem with the film industry? Should we consider Marvel films art?

This week I’m joined by special podcast person Alex as we hash this out.

As mentioned in the ep, here is the New York Times article:
