Marvelvision

It's a 70s spectacular... but no coke. I guess that was Kevin Feige's hard rule, as per Deadpool and Wolverine. On Agatha All Along this week we have the next trial, and it includes rocking out and a cool demon. Plus: gay stuff! 

Before that we learn that Derek has made a shocking decision, and we talk about the newly announced Dynamic Duo animated movie coming from DC. If that's of no interest to you, skip right to 32:54 and get to the episode recap and review!

Next week we will have our Joker: Folie a Deux review, available only to subscribers at the $5 or above level at the Patreon, which you can find right here. And then in November we're doing Venom: The Last Dance. Come join us!

Thanks for listening. See you in a few days for The Penguin. 

Oz has really stepped in it and this week things just keep getting more difficult. The Penguin keeps ramping up the complications in a way that reminds us of Breaking Bad, but thankfully not quite that nerve-wracking.

We talk about some news and some new movies, including The Apprentice and Megalopolis, and if you don't want to hear all that just skip right to 26:59.

Also: our Watch Men episode about Blade is up, and serves as an unexpected memorial to Kris Kristofferson. We recorded it right before he died, but we say such nice things about him that we feel pretty good about it. You can get that by subscribing to the Patreon at a $5 or above level or, if you don't want to subscribe, you can purchase this episode all on its own by clicking here.

Good news everyone - Marvel listened to Derek's complaints last week and over the past seven days totally fixed Agatha All Along to his liking. This week's episode is clever, spooky, fun, and best of all, episodic. There's a whole story in here!

Before that: news! Including who is playing Hal Jordan, what Marvel movie Jordan Peele might direct and the tuna fish sandwich I had for lunch. If none of this appeals, please skip right to 38:36 to get into the recap/review.

In a couple of days: The Penguin episode 2. We're giving you so many podcasts this month! Please show your appreciation by rating and reviewing us on your favorite podcast app. It helps a lot!

So, heads up: we had some technical difficulty with this episode. This required a lot of stitching things together, which I'm not exactly the best at, and as a result you may find the episode to have a certain delightfully herky jerky feel to it. 

We begin our coverage of The Penguin, the spin-off from The Batman, and boy oh boy do we like this one. A bunch. A mob show set in the Gotham of Matt Reeve's Batman, this is a grounded and gritty take that actually works. 

Because we released an episode just a couple of days ago we don't have much news this time, so if you don't want to hear us talk about Ronald Reagan go to 15:08. 

Thanks for listening! We'll be back in a couple of days with the next episode of Agatha All Along and then again next week with episode two of The Penguin. 

It's a fight! This week we throw down over Agatha All Along, the latest MCU show on Disney+. A spin-off of Wandavision, this show forces us to ponder just what an episode is, and also gives us a very good song. But like I said, there's a tussle in there. 

Before that we have a little bit of news, the ants are back, and a trivia question stumps both your hosts. Don't care about that? Jump right to 25:13.

We'll be back before you know it - Marvelvision is going twice a week as we cover both Agatha All Along and The Penguin on Max. Expect our next episode on Monday as we talk about the first episode of the Colin Farrell-starring spinoff from The Batman. 

Until then: thanks for listening!

This week we're diving back into the first appearance of Agatha Harkness, whose new show Agatha All Along debuts on Disney+ in the coming days. We'll be covering that show, so it made sense to look back at where it all started. 

And it started kinda weird! This comic is at the end of the historic Lee/Kirby run, and it's a light and odd story that finds The Thing in full Lou Costello mode. 

In the intro: we have a bit of news, including the Venom 3 trailer. If you don't care about that stuff skip right to 30:24 for the comic review!

Heads up: we will be covering both Agatha All Along and The Penguin, which means this show will be coming out twice a week for the next month or so. Don't ever say we never gave you anything. 

Thanks for listening!

This week and next we prepare for September's new comic book shows, The Penguin and Agatha All Along. Up first: the first appearance of The Penguin in an early Batman adventure that shows just how much Bats was not a grim avenger of the night for very long at all. That starts at 1:02. Yes, one hour and two minutes. 

But if you skip to there you'll miss all the news that hit this weekend, including a bunch of rumors, the question of whether we need anymore Falcone in Batman stuff after The Penguin and me discussing how I personally, and with my own power, destroyed the Zack Snyder DCEU. Exciting stuff. 

Next week: Fantastic Four #94, the first appearance of Agatha Harkness!

Thanks for listening!

We wrap up the first season of Caped Crusader with a Two-Face two-parter, and it's a doozy. Stick around until the very end to hear us talk about where this show stacks up in the history of adapted Batmen and our relationships with Batman adaptations over the years. 

Before that: Derek goes to a concert! The Thing is seen on the set of Fantastic Four! This week's trivia is really, really hard. Interested in the Superman piece I recollect fondly in this episode? Read it right here. 

If you don't care about any of that stuff skip right to 40:00 to get to the meat of the episode. This week's music is Two Faces Have I by Lou Christy. 

Next week: we will read the Penguin's first appearance in Detective Comics #58 as we prepare for the upcoming Penguin TV show.

Thanks for listening!

We're back from our trip, which means it's back to Gotham as we get to the penultimate episode of our series on the newest Batman cartoon, Batman: The Caped Crusader. This one gives us an LA Confidential-tinged cop story and a vampire tale filled with special guest stars who go unremarked upon in the show. Sneaky!

We don't have as much intro this week as usual, but our theme song is by Todd Rundgren. 

Thanks for listening!

This week the Faraci boys did something we rarely do - we got together! We took a family road trip to visit the home of Jerry Siegel, where Superman was created. And we went with our father and our sister. This episode was recorded by a single mic on the dining room table of a rented AirBnB, and our father Joe joins (Ariel declined). This one is all-intro, no meat, but the real ones have been waiting to hear from Joe!

We'll be back soon with our regularly scheduled program. Thanks for listening!
