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.

Season 4, Episode 11: Dark Phoenix (Or, the "Is Pepsi OK?" of Movies)

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!).

Season 4, Episode 10: Logan (Or, Matt Does Not Touch Knights)

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.

Season 4, Episode 9: Apocalypse (Or, Beeps and Papa)

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 the movie was still good, though!

Season 4, Episode 8: Days of Future Past (Or, Our Bad For Watching the Rogue Cut)

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!

Season 4, Episode 7: The Wolverine (Or, Would You Ever Fuck With a Single Soul?)

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.

Season 4, Episode 6: X-Men: First Class (Or, The Lucasites of a Teenager)

A very special bonus episode of Marveling at the Movies, featuring content pulled from the Multiversity Comics Podcast Network Archives!

Season 4, Episode 5.1: The Multiversity 10-Year Anniversary X-Men Origins: Wolverine Bonus Episode

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.

Season 4, Episode 5: X-Men Origins: Wolverine (or, The Helga Pataki Cross-Check)

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.

Season 1, Episode 22: Avengers: Endgame (or, The Beef Community Mourns)

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.

Season 4, Episode 4: X-Men 3: The Last Stand (Or, We Couldn't Connect With His Eyes)

Matt, Alexis and Matthew sit down to watch the best superhero film of 2003, X-Men 2: X-Men United. Matt discovers that Jean Grey is definitely his favorite character, Alexis introduces a new bit by accident, and Matthew finds a reason to go watch Spongebob Squarepants.

Season 4, Episode 3: X-Men 2: X-Men United (Or, The Brotherhood of Every Villain is Lemons)

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.

Season 4, Episode 2: X-Men (Or, Who Can Own More CAT Scans?)

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.

Season 4, Episode 1: Welcome to the X-Men, Matt DiChiara! (Or, Hope We Survive The eXperience)

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). 

Season 1, Episode 21: Captain Marvel (Or, Secret Shady Shit)

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.

Season 2, Episode 10: Shazam! (Or, SHOW ME THE WORM!)

Welcome to Marveling at the Movies, a podcast for Multiversity Comics with Alexis Perry, Matthew Meylikhov and future internet superstar Matt DiChiara. In this show, Alexis and Matthew (two people very fluent in movies and comics) make their friend Matt (who doesn't watch movies or read comics) watch every single shared-universe comic book film series. To quote Matt, "...cool."
