Marveling at the Movies

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."

And now, a very special episode of Marveling at the Movies.

San Diego Comic Con 2022 brought a whole wave of announcements of MCU Phase 5 and Phase 6 in Hall H, and Matt and Alexis did not pay attention. Out of the kindness of his heart, Matthew catalogued all of the information and uses this episode to tell his friends all about all the cool things they'll be watching together in the future. And by that, I mostly mean we argue. That's why you listen to the show, right? To hear peo...

The Marveling at the Movies gang watch Ms. Marvel. And, look: I know what you're thinking. "Why is this episode so long?" And... If this is your first episode of the MATM podcast, yeah, OK, maybe this is not the best place to start if you don't like 2.5 hour long arguments. This podcast is longer than Thor: Love and Thunder!!! BUT, if this is not your first episode of MATM, then you will probably not be surprised why exact...

The gang goes to see Thor: Love and Thunder. It's an overall confusing experience; Matt and Alexis typically love Thor but aren't necessarily excited (which is weird), and Matthew knows too much about the movie not because of trailers or anything else but because he's read all the comics (which is unlucky -- but to be fair, when's the last time we did more or less a straight adaptation?). So maybe this is one of those "def...

In the latest episode of Marveling at the Movies, the gang watches the new Doctor Strange movie. Also, they forget everything they said in the pre-show because the distance between recording the pre-show and post-show was really long this time and done for Matthew's convenience (because Matt and Alexis are hard to schedule -- sometimes you'll book Matt for a post-show right after the movie and he'll agree but then later di...

In the latest episode, the gang discusses all 6 episodes of Moon Knight. It's a character Matt has zero familiarity with and Matthew has way too much familiarity with, as well as one that Alexis kinda enjoys -- so where does everyone land on the enjoyment spectrum? The answers to that and more may surprise you.

In the last episode of 2022, the Marveling at the Movies crew watches all of Hawkeye. That's it. Not 6 individual episodes, just one (1) super long episode. Will this work? Is it too long? I don't know, you're the listener, you tell us. And besides, there's no new superhero anythings until March or May or whatever, so it's not like you don't have plenty of time to listen to a 2+ hour podcast.

The gang watches the last superhero movie of the year. And, look -- normally I feel like we wouldn't NEED to issue a spoiler warning, but just FYI this is a RECAP PODCAST so... y'know... spoilers abound.

After putting it off for a while since Alexis never ended up seeing the movie, we hit the inevitable point where we had to watch Black Widow... not because we finally convinced Alexis that she should, but, y'know, Marvel has their whole "connected universe" yadda yadda. So we did the only thing that made sense to do: put Alexis in the hot seat and gave Matt the week off. Does this count as a spoiler for this episode? I don...

Matt, Matthew and Alexis return for a chat about Eternals. The mood is tepid on this one in the pre-show, but who knows, maybe things turn around in the post show? But who knows with this group. At the very least, we will definitively answer: is this the worst movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, worse than Thor: Dark World? (Well, Matthew doesn't even think Dark World is that bad, so, looks like we're off to the races ...

Finally, after 2 years, the podcast returns to its roots and talks about a superhero movie! This time it's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, the newest superhero in the biz. As always, we talk about easter eggs, go through Matt's ineligible notes, and make lots of random jokes. Be honest, after all the Loki episodes, this is exactly the kind of content you want to hear on this podcast again. Yeah, this is the good...

THIS IS IT. THE FINAL EPISODE OF THE SEASON. After a long slog for all, everything comes to end: the villain behind it all stands revealed and the plot has reached its apex. The only question left is: yes, this is the end of Loki, but is it the end of Marveling at the Movies as well?! After all, after 6 episodes of arguing about timelines and multiverses and variants and everything in between, Marvel's basically set the to...

In the latest episode of Marveling at the Movies, the crew once again cascades back and forth between Matt declaring everything to be dumb and horrible, but then also turning it into a discussion as to the nature of storytelling and giving purpose to moments in storytelling. It's either a really interesting discussion on the traps of sci-fi discussion, or it's a really aggravating rant of fanboyism. You decide! Also, Matth...

In the latest episode of Marveling at the Movies, the gang delivers their best pre-show ever followed by a very on brand post show. Matthew just can't catch a break with Matt and Alexis, because one minute they're saying the episode was fine and the next minute as we go through it they get angrier and angrier at every little aspect of the concept. I mean, what's a guy got to do around here to just enjoy a multiverse? That ...

In the latest episode of Marveling at the Movies, Loki gets the highest possible praise from the Marveling Crew. There is a healthy debate about sci-fi nonsense, time travel tomfoolery, and the art of cinema. Also, Matt drops a theory that makes Matthew and Alexis both pause and say, "Holy shit. He's one of us. He's really finally one of us." But then he also skips over a seemingly important detail of the episode too, so w...

In the latest episode of Marveling at the Movies, the gang's opinions on the episode may surprise you. There's a lot of healthy debate about this episode, what type of show this is, and whether or not time travel with rules is stupid. And once again, Matt shocks and awes in what he DOES know references to and what he DOESN'T know references to, because honestly, it's just straight up nonsense what kind of deep cuts he can ...

We're back, and this time with Loki! This is the show that Matt and Alexis have been asking for since Day 1. All of their hopes and dreams have finally come to fruition now that their favorite character finally has his own show! They literally couldn't be any more excited to be on this podcast to talk about Loki and time travel, which are both of their favorite topics (as you all obviously know, as faithful listeners to th...

In this final episode covering The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, our intrepid podcasters once again find themselves disagreeing about the show. Is the last episode good enough to redeem an otherwise meh TV experience, or is it just a mediocre ending to a mediocre production? Do any care of us care enough for a second season or a movie follow-up at this point, or are we all kind of burned out on this thread? And, ok, serio...

After 4 episodes of super uneven storytelling and mostly confusing creative choices, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier finally produces an episode that everyone in the Marveling at the Movies gang enjoys! Wow!! The show's still incredibly uneven, but at least we can all finally talk about the things we like instead of just a 2 hour podcast about stuff we don't like.

The latest episode finds our team divided. One basically hates the show, one thinks this was the best episode yet, and the other is stuck squarely in the middle because this should've been a movie and not a TV show! But which one is which? Is this perhaps the most divisive and transformative our favorite podcasters have ever been on this show? Are we going to have to rethink the entire production so everyone can assume the...
