Marvelvision

It's the finale of The Penguin and good news: everybody ends up happy! Whew, I was worried for a minute there. Well okay, maybe that doesn't happen but wow was this a good final episode. We loved it. 

Before we get to The Penguin we have some news, including James Gunn personally humiliating me, new MCU trailers out of Brazil, and we discuss the ins and outs of Bluesky, the social network folks are fleeing to now that Twitter has gone full evil. If you don't care about any of that skip to 42:24.

Next week: now that The Penguin is over we have some time until What If...? begins. We're going to fill at least some of that time with a return to reading comics, so join us next episode when we read Amazing Spider-Man #15, the first appearance of Kraven the Hunter.

Thanks for listening!

It's the penultimate episode of The Penguin, and things get explosive. Plus, we take a look back at Oz's childhood and hoo boy do things get dark. Real, real dark. This show is not afraid to make this guy a true villain. Speaking of which, Sofia seemingly graduates to real supervillain status this episode, and we couldn't be happier. 

We recorded this episode on Election Day eve, so we have a little bit to say about that, but there's also a scoop that I drop about something coming up in Matt Reeves' "Batman Epic Crime Saga." You don't want to miss that, but if you do want to miss that, skip right to 32:46. 

Thanks for listening and see you next week for the finale!

It was Agatha all along after all. The show comes to an incredibly satisfying end, and lays groundwork for more yet to come in the MCU. This week Derek and I finally find a version of Aubrey Plaza that gets our motors humming, we discuss why Agatha ends up in the form she does, and argue about whether lemons were available in Massachussetts in 1750.

Before that: we are recording on Halloween! There's candy talk, Ozempic talk and then we get into Marvel's entire 2025 slate, especially the recently revealed shows that are coming to Disney+. Are there real Wonder Man fans? We think so!

If you don't care about that, skip right to 48:37. 

Thanks for listening and we will see you in a few days for the next episode of The Penguin!

Oz is up against the wall when the Maronis and Gigantes put the kibosh on his Bliss business, but he's always at his best when he's up against the wall. And when he's at his best he's a lying, cheating, backstabbing villain - this show does not hide just how awful its protagonist is. 

Before that: Zendaya is a goddess! James Gunn debunks more dumb rumors! And maybe the new trivia book we're using is a bit too hard. If you don't care about all of that skip right to 37:50 for the meat and the potatoes of the show. 

Meanwhile: we have a podcast up for Venom: The Last Dance! You can get it by subscribing to the Patreon at the $5 or above level or, if you don't want to do that, you can buy just the episode for $4 ($6 if you're on iOS because Apple takes a cut). Simply go to www.patreon.com/cinemasangha/shop to purchase!

Thanks for listening and we will see you in a couple of days for the Agatha All Along finale. 

It's a whopper of a Marvelvision as we go long on the excellent new episode of Agatha All Along. Is this the best Marvel TV episode? Is pre-trauma real? And has Derek ever had his tarot cards read? Find out!

Before that: Blade disappears from the release schedule! Tom Holland talks Spider-Man 4! And does Venom: The Last Dance set up a Sony/MCU crossover in that fourth Spidey film? Plus more news and impossibly hard trivia.

If you don't care about that skip to 52:38 to get to the recap/review. 

See you in a couple of days for The Penguin! Thanks for listening. 

Can the show live up to last week's stellar episode? Hell yes, it turns out, as things get hotter and hotter for Oz (and some other folks as well). Homecoming is a packed episode where a ton of stuff happens and where the status quo changes in major, major ways, and we're here to break it all down. As part of that we ask questions like: does the Chief of Police think Sofia is the Hangman? Will Vic make it out of the show alive? And should The Penguin's villain lair be an abandoned cannery?

Before that we have some news, and also some chatting about the movies. We talk about American Movie, Terrifier, Smile and more, and we debate whether or not Lanterns being "grounded" is a good thing. We do not debate the Creature Commandoes trailer, though - neither one of us are fans. Don't care about that? Jump to 40:04.

See you next week, and also in a couple of days as we return for Agatha All Along!

It's the Teen backstory we've been waiting for, and even though we all knew who he was, it still lands! And we get to see his side of the interrogation from episode 1. Plus: did they sneak Hulkling into this episode?

Before that we have a bit of news, including new Fantastic Four images and Tom Holland saying the Spider-Man 4 script still needs work. What does that mean? And what does Tom put first - himself or Spider-Man? 

If you don't care about that, skip to 28:41. 

We shall return in a couple of days with The Penguin!

What if we got an episode of The Penguin and it had almost no Penguin in it and it  was still one of the best episodes of the show so far? This week's installment has Sofia's backstory and really heightens the so-called grounded show to a level that is thrilling and fun. 

Before that we have a little bit of news and Derek relays the story of his visit to the Winchester Mystery House. And when you get to the end of the episode... it's not the end! We ended up going on a couple of diversions just as we were trying to sign off. Heads up. 

If you don't want the news and spooky Mystery House action, jump to 21:35. We will return in a couple of days with the next episode of Agatha All Along!

It's a big reveal this week as Teen's true identity becomes known - well, to anyone who reads Marvel Comics, I guess. But don't worry, because we break down just what that crown means and who he is, as well as talk about what did and did not work in this Ouija-tastic outing. 

Before that we talk about some dumb life stuff, all the Lanterns news and whether we should be criticizing it already, and the wild flood of likely phony scoops we keep getting about Spider-Man 4. If you don't care about that stuff, skip right to 35:14.

Thanks for listening! We're back in a couple of days with The Penguin. In the meantime, consider joining the Patreon at the $5 or above level to listen to our Watch Men episode about Joker: Folie à Deux (click here) or spend just $4 to buy the episode individually (click here). 

Have you been wanting to get to know Vic better? This episode is for you, as it explores Oz's sidekick's past, including where he was when The Riddler flooded Gotham City. Meanwhile, as always, Oz is thinking on his feet but he also seems to keep getting himself into deeper and deeper trouble. Is there a faction in Gotham City he won't piss off?

Before that we have news and updates, including Derek's adventure door knocking as a campaigner for democracy. Skip to 27:58 if you just want to get to The Penguin.

Over on Watch Men we went deep on Joker: Folie à Deux. We had a split decision on this one. Want to know where we each came down? Become a $5 or above subscriber at the Patreon or click here to buy the episode on its own for $4!

Thanks for listening. Agatha All Along is coming up!
