In what is our second longest episode ever, the gang sees "Dark Phoenix." Heated debate ensues: who hated it? Who loved it? Who thought it was just fine? And why are there so many arguments about it? If you listen to one podcast about Dark Phoenix it might as well be this one. Also, fun fact: this episode is only 17 seconds longer than our Last Stand episode! Mostly because Matt's favorite character is Jean Grey.

For today's episode, the gang watches Logan! Matt has some interesting predictions, Matthew drops a few personal fun facts, and Alexis remains in a relatively philosophical place due to anxiety brought on from watching HBO's "Ice On Fire" documentary about how the world is basically over. Also, we learn a surprising yet obvious correlation between length of episode and Matt's enjoyment of the film (so look forward to Dark Phoenix next week!).

For today's episode, the gang watches X-Men: Apocalypse. Matt meets the new Jean Grey (and doesn't like her any more than the old Jean Grey), and it seems like all hope is lost for him ever having even the mildest appreciation for the X-Men as a whole. That doesn't mean Matthew won't try and defend it, though, or that Alexis won't also be there to tell both of them they're wrong. Also, we get oddly experimental. Necessity is the mother of invention.

For today's episode, the gang makes the mistake of watching the extra long version of a movie that's already pretty long in Days Of Future Past: The Rogue Cut. Matthew (who had never seen the Rogue Cut) regrets the decision, Matt (who had never seen the movie) also regrets the decision, and Alexis regrets inviting them over to her house because at that point the movie is so long and she just wants to go to bed without having to deal with an extra hour and a half worth of rambling. The rest of th...

For today's episode, the gang watch The Wolverine! Matthew says that the movie is good, Matt doesn't believe him, Alexis says the movie is good, Matt believes her, and discord is sewn between the gang. How does this play out? Is Matthew right? Is Alexis right? Is no one is right? Tune in to find out!

We go back in time to watch X-Men: First Class! Matthew starts the episode off on a bad note, Matt starts the episode with a gross note, and Alexis openly contemplates why she ever agreed to join this troupe. Also, we watch an X-Men movie.

Just in time for Multiversity Comics' 10th Anniversary (almost as if done on purpose), the gang watches X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Matthew defends the movie, Matt gets confused by the timelines, Alexis bans the mention of a certain mutant from the show, and there's also a lot of Hey Arnold discussion for some reason.

What a journey it's been! After starting this podcast on a goofy idea, Matt, Alexis and Matthew go see Endgame a year later. Who died? Who cried? Find out all this and more in this VERY SPOILER-Y episode of Marveling at the Movies.

Matt, Alexis and Matthew dive into one of the biggest disasters of a film of all time (which Roger Ebert gave two thumbs up). Matthew delivers an excessive amount of fun facts about the film, Matt gets incredibly frustrated and Alexis watches the chaos unfold. Kitty Pryde finally shows up, and we also pay tribute to Brandon Lemos, Matthew's favorite person when he was 19.

Apr 20, 2019•1 hr 47 min•Season 4Ep. 3
Matt, Alexis and Matthew sit down to watch the 2000's X-Men. The history of superhero films are discussed, a whole stupid debate happens around the term "Omega Level Psychic," and there's a sick Hawkeye burn somewhere in there too.
Apr 13, 2019•1 hr 56 min•Season 4Ep. 2
In the inaugural episode of Season 4 we see if Matt knows anything about the X-Men, and try and set better expectations than we did for Season 2. You can also tell this was recorded a little while ago by the fact we call it Season 3, even though Season 3 was the Matrix! Oops! Either way, things are gonna get weird.

In the latest episode of the Marveling gang actually watching Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, we see Captain Marvel aka a Nice, Fun, Palette Cleanser. We talk about the movie, how we love cats (every kind of cat), how all men are dumb, and also freak out about how good Samuel L. Jackson looks (with apologies to Paul Giamatti).

In the latest addition to the DCEU season, the Marveling gang goes to see DC's Captain Marvel film. There are a lot of complaints about the lack of talking tigers, but then a lot of dialogue about talking worms. You win some, you lose some. We also didn't have access to our upgraded microphone, so apologies for the distortion -- but, to be fair, we assume most of our listeners at this point understand that quality is not this show's forte.

In a complete surprise, the gang returns to binge watch the Matrix Trilogy. But since this is April Fool's, they're also going to drink heavily throughout the whole thing. Is this a good idea? Probably not. Did we do it anyway? Obviously yes. In the final installment, the gang barely makes it through because of how late it is and how uch they've had to drink, and Matt delivers an impassioned monologue about his thoughts for the film.

In a complete surprise, the gang returns to binge watch the Matrix Trilogy. But since this is April Fool's, they're also going to drink heavily throughout the whole thing. Is this a good idea? Probably not. Did we do it anyway? Obviously yes. In the second of three installments, Matt finds out why everyone generally says to not watch the Matrix sequels, while Matthew and Alexis eat cookies and drink on air because we're professionals.

In a complete surprise, the gang returns to binge watch the Matrix Trilogy. But since this is April Fool's, they're also going to drink heavily throughout the whole thing. Is this a good idea? Probably not. Did we do it anyway? Obviously yes. Tune in as Matt learns what the Matrix is, and starts to understand what all the hype was about (while hoping it continues to get better from here).

In yet another surprise bonus episode for Season 2 (fine, we did it), we went and saw Aquaman. In this episode we talk about comic continuity, taking notes in the dark, Pitbull, and what's the better name: Aquaman, Black Manta or Ocean Master? And, yes, before you ask: the next episode that appears in this feed will be for Season 3: Mutanting at the Movies. There will be no more surprises. ... or will there be?
Jan 19, 2019•2 hr 1 min•Season 2Ep. 9
In this surprise bonus episode (what, did you think we were going to watch Aquaman?), we watch and talk about Teen Titans Go! To the Movies. We hope you like farts and Michael Bolton as much as we do, as well as Slaaaaaaaaaaaaddddeeeee. This episode is less about Matt's notes more than just talking about a movie we like, so enjoy the extra episode and we'll see you soon for an eXcellent Season 3!
Dec 25, 2018•1 hr 10 min•Season 2Ep. 8
In the final episode of Season 2, we look back on our journey and the friends we made along the way. And by that, I mean subject Matt to information about all the movies coming up next in the DCEU, including everything we know about the two Suicide Squad spin-offs. He's thrilled, trust us. We also check in with Brad Garett and tease an eXciting third season yet to come. It's a fun time for the whole family!
Dec 08, 2018•39 min•Season 2Ep. 7
In the latest episode, we finally watch Justice League as the League comes together. Between Matt's hated Zack Snyder and Matt's beloved Joss Whedon, is there any semblance of a good movie in here? Or is it just 40% of a good movie? Tune in to find out.
Dec 01, 2018•1 hr 54 min•Season 2Ep. 6
In the latest episode, we watch Wonder Woman , aka the "only good movie of the DCEU." Does Matt agree with this sentiment? Does Alexis actually have positive commentary about the film, for the first time this season? Does Matthew cry during it again? The answers to this and more in the latest episode (though to be honest, it's Yes, Yes, and Of Course, Come On, Did You Even Think Otherwise?).
Nov 24, 2018•1 hr 52 min•Season 2Ep. 5
In the latest episode, we watch the extended edition of Suicide Squad in what is arguably our best episode ever. Why? There's so many jokes in this one that to tell any of them would spoil the fun, but the subtitle of this episode is probably at least a hint of things to come, right? Tune in. You'll love... this episode.
Nov 17, 2018•1 hr 58 min•Season 2Ep. 4
In the latest episode, the team watches the 3-hour Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice - The Ultimate Edition . Does anyone make it through the whole thing? Do they have any energy to talk about it afterwards? Is Batman still cool in anyone's eyes after this? All this and more in the latest episode.
Nov 09, 2018•2 hr 6 min•Season 2Ep. 3
In the latest episode, we start with <i>Man of Steel</i>. Matthew tries to convince Matt that there's a decent film buried somewhere in the film while Alexis tries to argue that Superman is a great character. Does Matt believe either of them? Outlook not so good.
Nov 03, 2018•1 hr 51 min•Season 2Ep. 2
In the inaugural episode of Season 2 we introduce the premise of the season, test Matt's knowledge of the DCEU, and generally prep ourselves for all that is which to come. Spoiler Alert: our shortest season might just feel like our longest, but hey, what are you going to do? Not listen? Yeah, we didn't think so.
Oct 27, 2018•26 min•Season 2Ep. 1
In this extra added episode to our first season, we dive into Avengers: Infinity War , go over a multitude of fun facts, reflect on our theories while making new ones, find out if Matt will ever read a comic book, and re-invent the "yadda yadda." As a note, spoilers abound. If you haven't seen the movie, we <i>will</i> ruin key moments for you.

In the last episode of the first season, we talk a bit about Black Panther , reveal Alexis and Matthew's stack rankings, hear Matt's predictions for Infinity War , ask Matt a whole bunch of question s we've been holding back asking -- and, oh, Matt causes Alexis and Matthew to audibly gasp. How? You'll have to listen in to find out!
