X-Men 97 Season 2 is packed full of characters from X-Force, the New Mutants, and Generation X, so this week we’re bringing you the story of how Marvel went from the smash-hit success of the 90s X-Men and created a team of the weirdest Marvel Mutants of all time! Since the 80s Marvel had been working on a comic book series that focused on Professor X teaching children how to use their mutant powers. But when Cable turned The New Mutants into X-Force, Marvel decided to create a new comic book and refocus on the idea of Mutants being weird body-horror monsters that were rejected by the rest of the world - a comic book called Generation X!

This week we seek to answer the fundamental question about Thor: Love And Thunder - is it CRINGE or is it FUN? To do this we’ll take you behind-the-scenes on the making of Love & Thunder, how Marvel Studio healed the rift with Natalie Portman, the HUGE salary pocketed by Chris Hemsworth, the characters and scenes cut from the movie, the Anti-Gay Axis Powers that banned the film, Matt Damon breaking COVID rules to take his family on an Australian holiday, and how the world reacted to the 4th Thor film! Then we'll take you behind-the-page on Thor's waning comic book popularity over the years, and how the character was shot back to relevance by Jason Aaron's incredible 8 year run on the character that featured Gorr The God Butcher, and Jane Foster becoming The Mighty Thor!

We’ll explore everything that ties the Masters Of The Universe and this movie to Marvel Comics, dig into how Marvel's Conan sparked off the Sword & Sorcery pop culture boom of the 70's and 80's! We'll uncover the ORIGINAL Masters Of The Universe stories, the toy craze, the MOTU Marvel Comics, the animated series, and how it all led to dizzying highs and crushing lows!

Canon Films comes to the brink of collapse, the financing runs out BEFORE THE MOVIE IS FINISHED, and ultimately how the financial failure of Masters Of The Universe robbed us of getting a 90's Spider-Man movie!
Then we’ll pull apart the 1987 He-Man movie scene-by-scene, deliver all of our thoughts and reactions on what works, what doesn't work, and what sucks! We’ll deliver TONS of history and trivia on the Masters Of The Universe characters, and the big differences between the original comic books, the animated series, and the movie versions of the characters!

The 90's were a bad decade for Marvel's Mutants, and it took some seismic changes and bold creative risks to save the franchise, the biggest being the 2001 reboot of the franchise - Ultimate X-Men! Marvel Comics hit the reset button and created a brand new imagining of Xavier, Magneto, Wolverine, Cyclops, Jean Grey, and the rest of the X-Men’s huge cast of characters. Mark Millar and Andy Kubert re-imagined Marvel’s mutants and positioned them in the middle of a world in the shadow of the 9/11 attacks and waging a war that violated a lot of personal rights. Social and political satire wrapped up in a sci-fi package!

This week we head back into the MVM Archives to bring you the story of the making of Marvel’s first ever X-Men movie - Generation X! Before Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart reinvented the superhero movie in the year 2000, Marvel teamed up with the Fox Network to make this low budget 1996 TV movie. Jubilee, Emma Frost, Banshee, and a whole host of young X-Men characters were brought to live-action for the very first time, but with a budget so low the action and special effects became painful to watch.

To celebrate our 5th Anniversary we asked listeners to vote for the five best episodes we’ve done in the last five years, so throughout April we’re releasing The Year 5 Top 5! Our deep-dive into the failed 90’s Captain America movie is the most recent episode to feature in the Year 5 Top 5, from February of 2025. Listener Graddlecakes said “the behind the scenes section is maybe the very best you’ve ever done”.
How and why did this Marvel movie become a complete low budget disaster? We’ll take you behind-the-scenes on how Cannon Films got into the Marvel movie business, how JD Salinger’s son was cast as Steve Rogers, and how the whole production lost its entire six million dollar budget right before filming! It’s a crazy story of a film being re-written on the fly, cameras running out of film, and the studio hating the finished movie so much they re-edited the entire thing … and made it worse! We’ll also explore Captain America in the 1980’s to uncover perhaps the most interesting and political time in the history of the character. And we’ll deep-dive the movie scene-by-scene as only MVM can!

To celebrate our 5th Anniversary we asked listeners to vote for the five best episodes we’ve done in the last five years, so throughout April we’re releasing The Year 5 Top 5! Our deep-dive into the failed 90’s Captain America movie is the most recent episode to feature in the Year 5 Top 5, from February of 2025. Listener Graddlecakes said “the behind the scenes section is maybe the very best you’ve ever done”.
How and why did this Marvel movie become a complete low budget disaster? We’ll take you behind-the-scenes on how Cannon Films got into the Marvel movie business, how JD Salinger’s son was cast as Steve Rogers, and how the whole production lost its entire six million dollar budget right before filming! It’s a crazy story of a film being re-written on the fly, cameras running out of film, and the studio hating the finished movie so much they re-edited the entire thing … and made it worse! We’ll also explore Captain America in the 1980’s to uncover perhaps the most interesting and political time in the history of the character. And we’ll deep-dive the movie scene-by-scene as only MVM can!

The Ultraverse is a forgotten corner of the Marvel Universe, packed with hidden superheroes from the 90s! Forget about Iron Man, Spider-Man, Wolverine and The Avengers, it’s time to learn about Prime, Prototype, Nightman and The Ultraforce! Before the MCU, Hollywood went through a massive comic book boom in the early 90’s, as comics like The Mask, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and The Crow became big hits! Marvel Comics bought out one of their competitors, Malibu Comics, and merged their Ultraverse into the Marvel Universe! This launched Ultraforce the animated series, a video game and even a line of action figures! But it wasn’t long before Marvel cancelled Ultraforce and all the other Ultra-Heroes, making sure they’d never be seen ever again!
Who were Ultraforce? Why did Marvel buy Malibu Comics only to shut them down? And why has Marvel tried to forget they ever existed?

It's a wild tale of how Marvel gave the character rights to a successful Japanese TV and Movie company, who proceeded to transform Spider-Man into a much more Japanese pop culture character! Time to get a motorbike, a flying car, a spaceship, tons of aliens, a giant Transformer robot, and a thirst for REVENGE! This is a Spider-Man unlike ANYTHING we’ve seen in the Marvel Comics or the MCU! And if we’re gonna chart the full history of Marvel, we’ve got to spend some time on the Japanese Spider-Man of 1978!

We’re exploring the Ultraverse - a hidden corner of the Marvel Multiverse, and its forgotten team of superheroes! Forget about Iron Man, Spider-Man, Wolverine and The Avengers, it’s time to learn about Prime, Prototype, Nightman and The Ultraforce! Before the MCU, Hollywood went through a massive comic book boom in the early 90’s, as comics like The Mask, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and The Crow became big hits! Marvel Comics bought out one of their competitors, Malibu Comics, and merged their Ultraverse into the Marvel Universe! This launched Ultraforce the animated series, a video game and even a line of action figures! But it wasn’t long before Marvel cancelled Ultraforce and all the other Ultra-Heroes, making sure they’d never be seen ever again!
Who were Ultraforce? Why did Marvel buy Malibu Comics only to shut them down? And why has Marvel tried to forget they ever existed?
