Marvelous MarathonThe Fantastic Four: First StepsA nearly FOUR hour episode? How fitting! Katelyn eats her words and does the one thing she swore she’d never do: see The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Wil and Katelyn definitively answer the question of whether or not these are “their guys”, whether or not Wil’s impression of Ben Grimm is good (or even accurate), and whether or not JQuinn is hot in this movie. But when faced with deciding what the exact correct opinion of this movie is, they butt heads so catastrophically that it nearly ends the podcast. Luckily, their friend Pete from First Look, Final Wo...2025-07-283h 25
Marvelous MarathonFantastic Four (2005)Flame on! Wil and Katelyn launch headfirst into the second half of Super Fantastic July with 2005’s Fantastic Four. Join them on the journey through this unfortunately forgettable plot, the goofy characters, and the Chris Evans of it all. In true MM fashion, they focus only on the important details: how much a digital camera cost in 2005, whether or not a bar is playing a physical record in 2005, and what Sue’s character literally even is.

Marvelous MarathonSuperman: The Movie (1978)It’s a bird! It’s a Blague! No, it’s Superman: The Movie (1978)! Wil exposes Katelyn’s insane DC movie history to the masses, and catalogues the comically villainous producers and overall behind-the-scenes drama of this iconic blockbuster. Wil and Lois Lane both fangirl over Superman, and Katelyn inundates Wil with five hundred questions that he simply does not have answers to.

Marathon.The greatest hits and dumbest bits: Capri-Sun Max, The very last American...2025-07-071h 35
Marvelous MarathonMarvelous Mailbag #2 (News Round-Up: DoomsDELAY, Thunderbolts box office)Wil and Katelyn reach back into the Marvelous Mailbag and answer more listener questions with thoughtful analysis (see: the dumbest ideas you’ve ever heard).

While discussing the way that their opinions on the MCU have changed over the years, movies that they feel spiritually connected to, why superhero movies are so popular, and if they will ever “do Star Wars”, Wil tries (semi-successfully) his absolute hardest not to let Katelyn talk exclusively about Thunderbolts* for the third episode in a row.
