Marveling At Marvel's Marvels

This week we finally present a character we've been promising for 100 episodes: Jubilee! We'll talk about the utility of fireworks in combat, mall living, and Wolverine's predilection for teen sidekicks. It's a fun time!

From the depths of Hell, we bring you Marvel's lord of darkness, Mephisto! We're all over the place this week, discussing the devil, quarantine, and the new New Warriors- join us for some socially distant fun!

For a bit of a palate cleanser, we bring you Ghost Rider, the classic (?) 2007 Marvel movie starring the incomparable Nicolas Cage. Spoiler alert: we had a lot more fun talking about the movie than watching it.

Quarantine got you down? We've got the cure, with one of the most notorious event's in comic history: Marvel's Spider-Man Clone Saga! We try to make a little sense of the madness, but more importantly we have some fun with the chaos. 

It's one of Marvel's greatest supporting characters, Jarvis! Join us as we discuss the butler to the Avengers, Coronavirus precautions. and good toiletry habits.

Who do super heroes call when they need help? Damage Control! We’ll explain how a limited series became integral to the fabric of the Marvel Universe! And we talk about meat. A LOT.

Want to know what happens when a burglar throws a crowbar at Loki?  Well, have we got the episode for you- the Wrecking Crew! This episode is a blast, just take my word & listen!

We'll forgive you for not knowing this character, but after listening to the episode, we don't think you'll forget Fantomex! We dive deep into the man with three brains and maybe confuse the hell out of you along the way... 

We put out the call and our listeners answered! This week we bring characters suggested by the Marvelers out there: some real, some they created. Can Josef tell the difference?

Behold, our 150th episode! For this landmark, we've got one Jonathan's all-time favorite characters, the Silver Surfer! We start things off with a lot of chatter & banter, but once we get into the tale of Norrin Radd, we don't look back!

For the holiday season, we decided to revisit a character that's sure to bring the joy: Ms. Marvel, Kamala Khan! We originally presented Kamala way back in 2016's episode 18 and a lot has changed for her since.  We recommend revisiting our first episode on this awesome hero, #18 form 2016: http://matmm.libsyn.com/episode-18-ms-marvel

WARNING: this is an angry episode and may not be for everyone. Seriously, I think I can only recommend it for folks that like to listen to their parents fight. In this episode, we talk a little about Apocalypse, the first mutant, but mostly we fight. Seriously, this is a contentious episode- we spend more time arguing than discussing the character, so, yeah, this might not be a fun experience for everyone...

He's one of the Marvel universe's most important characters (and one of our most requested). Finally, we present the master of magnetism and would-be savior of homo superior, Magneto!

It's hard to believe that it took 146 episodes to cover Jamie Madrox, the Multiple Man. He's been around for over 40 years and has one of the most interesting powers in comics. We have some deep discussion about the repercussions of creating duplicates of oneself- you don't want to miss this episode!

Happiest of Halloweens to all you Marvelers out there! For this special episode, we step outside the realm of Marvel as Allen tells us about his favorite horror comics! We talk about their appeal, why they died out, and why you should maybe think about a villain's origin before marketing him to kids... 

For this fan-request episode, we travel far to the Negative Zone to bring you Annihilus, the living death that walks! Our conversation includes some background on the Negative Zone and some info on Annihilus' chief rival, Blastaar! Plus all the ranting & divergences you've come to expect from your favorite podcasters!

Over the course of the show, we've mentioned many times how games have influenced us. On this episode, we delve deep into our experiences with Marvel video games, board games, and role playing games. 

The Odinson is not the only one to wield Mjolnir and take the name "Thor"- this week, we proudly present the story of Jane Foster! From her comic origins as Dr. Blake's nurse through her recent turn as the god of thunder, we think you'll enjoy this epic tale!

We've talked a bit about Thor in the past, but now we've finally got an episode dedicated to the god of thunder! Well, sort of... we also spend a good deal of time talking about the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. 

Hey, Marvelers, we're going to the circus! The Circus of Crime, that is! Join us as we stroll through a magical land of villainy, half-baked schemes, and- oh, no, no, no... Well, lets just say we earn that explicit rating towards the end. Might want to leave the kids at home for this trip to the circus...
