Marvel Sucks vs. No it doesn't: Recent Episodes
Monkey Wrench Lobotomy
Thunderbolts and lightning, very, very frightening! This one is mostly about Thunderbolts but you can stay tuned for the post credits scene where the hosts manipulate a spreadsheet if that’s too on topic for you.
An episode about a show with the subtitle ‘Born Again’ that’s being posted on Easter? I’ve got nothing.
Also: We talk about Sinners, Wicked, The Minecraft Movie, Severance Season 2, and Cade’s run in with Kevin Smith.
Still no DEGOT winners. Maybe next year. Come enjoy our Marvel awards extravaganza with winners that you voted for (if you took that survey 6 weeks ago).
Godzilla Minus One, Superman Teaser Trailer, S4E17 of the original X-Men show, and 5 beloved Christmas traditions. Remember to manifest your heart out.
In this episode: Wicked, I Saw the TV Glow, other stuff, and a little shake-up to the Marvel Rankings.
Recap: Cade and Jordan enjoyed the first two episodes. What will they think of the rest of the episodes? Also, The Substance, The Wild Robot, and other tangents. Recap 2: This is a two dudes talking podcast disguised as a review podcast, don’t expect structure.
Wherein: Jordan goes the entire episode without saying the letter ‘P,’ Cade recounts the many concerts he attends, Jordan reviews new Disney rides, Cade recounts the many movies he watches, and—eventually—they talk about a witch or something.
Every 26 months, three men (feat. Patrick Fitzsimmons) assemble to talk a little about the FX tv show Legion and a lot about movies generally.
This time they also watched Dolittle (2020). Why? It’s a secret that’s been lost to the sands of time. Just like the location of the Island of the Eden Tree which has magical healing fruit (which could save the queen).
They stab Xavier.
Xavier: X2, Brute?
Magneto: Liberty! Freedom! Tyranny is dead!
Run hence, proclaim, cry it about the streets.
I should probably let Cade write the descriptions. We talk about X2 in this one with a special guest.
Cade and Jordan head back into the Marvel vault to visit Professor Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters. New heroes, new powers, but old special effects (which are kinda good?). Enroll with us as we prepare for Deadpool and his spikey-metal-clawed friend.
The stars are out! The most prestigious award show on the planet returns to your eardrums. Tape the big game, you’ve got listening to do. Buckle in, brace yourself, the show starts now! Wow! Ok.
This show was an interesting choice from the folks over at the Walter Disney Corporation but it exceeded our expectations. Wait that can’t be right, its a Hawkeye spin off with Marvel Netflix cameos. Let me check my notes. Huh, no that’s the case they’re making.
The holidays wouldn’t be the holidays without the classic traditions that we all know and love. There’s a little bit of marvel stuff in there too.
It’s that time of year again. Grab a mug of hot chocolate, curl up next to a roaring fire, and nitpick superhero blockbusters from a decade ago.
Marvel is taking all this multiverse timeline hopping seriously. The Marvels was made a universe where the MCU is a disorganized mess and Loki was made in a universe where everything is planned years in advance. I wonder which universe the next film will be from…
I hope you did your homework. If you didn't watch Ms. Marvel, Wandavision, Secret Invasion, Captain Marvel, and Hawkeye you're missing out. Or are you?
We discuss Five Nights at Freddy’s, Killer's of the Flower Moon (but mostly just its duration), the upcoming Beatles track “Now and Then,” and, oh yeah, Loki season 2.
What if the people making a show actually cared about the project? What if they had a plan for what would happen? What if they actually followed that plan and told a cohesive story? In Loki, we might have stumbled into a timeline where that happens on Disney+!
In this very special episode we come to you live from Cade's birthday brewery crawl. At each stop we recorded a 5 minute segment with surprise guest discussing a different surprise Marvel movie. Embrace the chaos.
We used to have a Marvel podcast that was secretly a Beatles podcast but now its a Marvel podcast that is secretly a Matchbox Twenty podcast. How’s that for shapeshifting?
We’ve got a couple of mysteries on our hands today. From Marvel to the Titanic, Cade and Jordan are on the case. (The remnants of the sub were confirmed to be found while we were recording. Damn we’re good.)
The gang’s all here, what more do you want? If you said adorable, tortured animals you’re in luck!
Who would win in a shrinking contest: Ant-man shrinking himself or Quantumania shrinking consumer interest in the MCU?
A handful of truly great performers have received an EGOT but who will be the first to win a DEGOT?
I think there’s a man on my roof and I sure hope its Santa Claus. On this episode we discuss Avatar: Blue People Bluer Water, Goofy Aliens on Earth, and rank the tracks of The Beatles’ White Album. Happy Holidays!
Join us all ye movie sorters (fa la la la la, la la la la)/ Tis the season to make order (fa la la la la, la la la la)/Ranking all the MCU films (MA MA MA MA MA, MA MA VEL SUCKS)
Black Panther is back (panther). Cade and Jordan discuss Marvel Snap, the Quantumania trailer, and the newest MCU flick. What more could you want?
Sorry if we sound out of breath, we raced to get you this episode as fast as humanly possible.
This episode was recorded on September 24th. That’s why this is the show you come to for breaking news.
If you’ve been looking for a deep dive of phase five while you drive, you’ve arrived. The two leading Marvelxperts are here to deliver all the juicy MCU deets.
February 2018 - Cade, Patrick, and Jordan watch the first 20 minutes of the first episode of Legion (2017), April 2020 - after 26 months they watched the middle 20 minutes, and June 2022 - after an additional 26 months the first episode has been finished. The three will meet up again on August 2024 to discuss the first 20 minutes of the first episode of season 2 of Legion and the trailer to Dr. Dolittle: Tail to the Chief (2008).
There’s more discussion of Top Gun: Maverick in this episode than Moon Knight but that’s probably for the best.
Doctor Strange 2? More like Doctor too Strange. Marvel is getting wacky with this zany flick.
The atmosphere is electric tonight at the Duzzies. The stars are shining and the reviews are glowing. Who’s gonna take home the ultimate prize? Find out now!
5 years after starting we’ve reached our 100th episode. Here’s 100 interviews (a joint effort by Cade and I) about the MCU.
If you were to use one word to describe this podcast, I think that word would have to be “timely.” Anyway, here’s our final review of a show set and released during the Christmas season. Merry Holidays!
Is this Spider-man 3 better than Toby’s Spider-man 3? We’ll let you be the judge. Or actually, I guess, we will be the judge because podcasts aren’t an interactive medium. You can be the jury.
Its the year without a Santa Claus. Or maybe the year without a Grinch. The point is Marv “Jordan Peeples” Elssux isn’t on this one but there is a returning guest. I’ll leave you in suspense.
Hawkeye changed history. Without Hawkeye the headlines in 2012 would never have said “Six Avengers Save New York,” they would have said “Five Avengers Save New York.”
In honor of Marvel’s commitment to keeping the MCU going until time ends, they called this entry Eternals.
We-we-we’re ba-ba-back for a re-re-rank. Sorry, it’s freezing in this description box. Anyway, we also talk about Venom 2 and What if.
Shang-chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings joins the ring-based media pantheon with other greats like Tolkien’s illustrious Lord of the Rings series and Sega’s legendary pointy speed rascal, Sonic the Hedgehog.
What if Jordan and Cade did an episode without tangents? There is no timeline, across any multiverse, in which we stay on subject. Discussed today: Cade’s Birthday, The Suicide Squad, Pig, Green Knight, What if…, No Sudden Moves.
This one is our magnum opus. You woulda thought it’d be our Endgame episode or something but, no, our third Loki episode is the greatest episode in the show’s storied history. Enjoy or whatever. Don’t let me tell you what to think.
In the end, the only person Loki could fall for is a Loki variant. Featuring special guest, communication expert Elle Johnson (co-host of the podcast Talk Talk: A Podcast About Communication though that didn’t get brought up on the episode).
Loki meets the time bureaucrats who are angry because he did a time crime during the Avenger’s time heist to get magic rocks.
Forget that old new Captain American, this new new Captain America is the best new Captain America of all time!
The Captain America crew is back (except one guy (Captain America (a.k.a. Steve Rodgers))). Will Falcon get a loan in time to save the family business? Will the Winter Soldier go on a second date? I guess we’ll have to wait until next week.
Yes, no, maybe, I don’t know. Can you repeat the question? Last show for Wandavision. Life is unfair.
When watching Wandavision I feel like I’ve been dealt a full house. Its such an interesting take on family matters. Wanda and Vision are married with children in episode 5 and even as superheroes they have to deal with the facts of life (which has led to some growing pains). Alf?
After 40 years in the Marvel desert, Cade finally gets to glimpse the Wandavision promised land. Also, Jordan is pretty excited.
Cade, Jordan, and special guest, Alex, discuss Iron Man 3 and talk about Christmas favorites.
Jordan and Cade discuss what Marvel has on the schedule until the collapse of civilization.
This episode is really a “movies that Cade and Jordan have seen since they last talked” episode. We mention Marvel 616 for maybe 10 minutes. Featuring Midsommar, The Vast of Night, I’m Thinking of Ending Things, and The Devil All the Time.
We’ve been saving this super-special vampire spooktacular for Halloween. That’s why we haven’t posted an episode. No other reasons. Enjoy.
These vampires are pretty well groomed considering they can’t see themselves in mirrors.
Doctor Octopus is making sunshine but then his robot hands go cuckoo. You’ve heard it a thousand times but you’ve never heard it like this. Will he be vindicated? He is selfish and wrong. But on the other hand, he’s right and swears he’s right, swears he knew it all along. He’s flawed.
Step into our spandex-clad, spider-themed, time machine and swing back to 2002 as we review the first Spider-man film.
Jordan and Cade are joined by special guest, Alejandra Buitrago, to talk about women in the MCU. Where are they? Who are they? What are they? When are they? How are they? Fine, thanks. Hear these questions and more in this episode.
Another week, another guest. Liam O’Connor joins Jordan and Cade to grade each and every Marvel movie cold open. Who’s head of the class?
In February 2018, Jordan and Cade were joined by a special guest, Patrick Fitzsimmons, to watch the pilot episode of the “hit” TV show Legion. 20 minutes in they decided to abandon the project. For 26 months fans have wondered how they would’ve reacted to the next third of the show. Today, their prayers have been heard and answered. Mark your calendars - Legion III: The Final Third - June 2022.
Peter Parker’s potential peaks in this podcast pertaining to our present pandemic predicament. Please p-enjoy.
Our thoughts on his thoughts. Stick around for a special guest phone call. Also, we talk about the Lighthouse.
Disney and Sony heard that we were about to release an episode with our hard-hitting take on the Spidey situation and the cowards folded immediately. #savedspidey
What’s going on with phase 4? Check this out 4 details. Lots of in4mation. 4 everything about the a4mentioned phase 4 listen to this episode. We made it 4 you.
Spider-man is featured heavily in this new movie. For more in-depth analysis check out this weeks episode.
A retrospective look on the MCU up to this point with special guest Liam O’Connor , a phone survey of Marvel fans thoughts on Endgame, and Cade’s favorite question: “Will Endgame beat Avatar at the Box Office?”
The biggest Marvel movie in franchise history demands that we return to the age old question: does Marvel suck or not?
Everyone’s asking what’s gonna happen… in the next Game of Thrones, but also, Endgame what’s going on with that?
For the first time in 8 months there is a new Marvel movie. For the second time in 2 days we’ve recorded a podcast about it.
The highest caliber discussion on the movies you cherish. It’s like an audio textbook on the most important contemporary films.
We’re talking Spider-man over here. Check this one out. Ya gotta hear this special Christmas content. Webs and whatnot abound in this one.
As a tribute to Stan Lee we put all of his cameos into a bracket and had them battle it out.
Cade and Jordan set off on this episode with a plan to interview two interesting Agents from the titular Agents of Shield.
Welcome to the Marvel Sucks vs. No it doesn't Halloween Special! It's not like us to be so early but heck we just had to get this piping hot content out there. Featuring extra scary guest Kyle Johnson.
In an amazing turn of luck Ant Man 2 came out just in time for our 50th episode to be an actual Marvel movie. At least it would've been if I'd released two episodes in June. Oops.
I was starting to get worried that they would make a Deadpool 3 before I released this episode.
We weren't goofing around with this one. Get ready for an in-depth critical analysis that breaks down the movie beat by beat. No jokes. No laughs. 100% serious. 0% filler.
One member of the intrepid Marvel Sucks duo asked, nay, demanded an additional episode of Avengers hype. What happens when an unstoppable force meets a indifferent object?
One of us wanted to talk about a highly anticipated, painstakingly crafted, star studded film and the other couldn't stop jabbering about the latest in an endless series of increasingly bloated superhero slugfests. Bah Humbug.
Today we've got an extra-special double-feature episode for you with two movies that are either very similar or the opposite.
No one cares about Daredevil, Cade. It's just on in the background because this is a Marvel podcast. Maybe if you were as blind as Daredevil you could see that.
Jane Foster explores a suspicious anomaly on Earth while Thor is busy fighting to save Asgard. Which member of this power couple has the strength to save their planet from destruction?
Something strange is happening in the land of Emseeyu and its up to Dr. Puzzles and The Gooch to sort it out.
We've got a couple jokers talking about Batman and special interview with Thomas Wayne a.k.a. Batman Sr. a.k.a. Linus Roache.
If you're worried that this episode is just going to be Jordan and Cade rambling on about whatever, fear not, because they've got a guest to ramble on with them.
A stellar film with stellar acting, directed by one of the most highly acclaimed directors of modern times. I wonder which member of the Marvel Sucks crew thought it was boring.
Buckle up everybody we got an actual Marvel movie to talk about for the first time in months. I repeat fresh Marvel content.
Episode 33, phase 3, trivial pursuit 3, guests: 3, Avenger's 3. Coincidence? Yes. How many letters are there in the word 'yes'? 3. Three. THREE.
We have a weekly podcast for a franchise that outputs quarterly at best. You do the math.
Honestly, this is a bit of filler episode. Did I say 'filler'? I meant 'filled to the brim with kick-ass content' episode. Either way, we're talking Black Mirror and Black Panther.
I think we've found a movie to rival Glengarry Glen Ross as Jordan's favorite superhero flick.
After receiving positive reviews from critics and a sizable backlash from fans, what do the two biggest voices in entertainment have to say about the most recent galatic wizard fight?
With the 2016 film Deadpool they came up with the idea of combining your traditional superhero romp with a zany comedy. Its got yucks, laughs, goofs, chuckles, and guffaws galore.
2 minute trailer, 2 hour podcast. The shortest piece of content we've ever reviewed gets one of the longest episodes in the series.
An undisputed, instant-classic, juggernaut of a film from Josh Trank, Hollywood's new golden boy. I hope to hell this guys got a long career ahead of him.
We thought we'd pull out all the stops and review one of the most acclaimed (and Cade's favorite) super hero films of the year for our 20th episode special!
I can't believe Glengarry Glen Ross is officially part of the MCU and you shouldn't either.
Two special guests join the hosts for an intense, competitive game of Trivial Pursuit. Has Jordan learned anything over the past few months?
Benedict Cumberbatch makes his first appearance in the MCU. I think that the elements, as Dr. Watson said to Sherlock, "are coming together, sir."
Iron Man vs. Captain America or Marv Elssux vs. Noah Dozent, which is most civil, civil war?
Marv Elssux and Noah Duzent go on a field trip to learn all about the man behind the comics but end up cringing through the multiverse.
Big talk about the little guy and some long awaited Marriage advice from bachelors in their mid-twenties.
Our first guest, Kyle Johnson, joins us on the podcast to talk about a tree and a raccoon.
There was a lot of technical mumbo jumbo I had to do for this episode so I'm too lazy to write a description. Cade'll probably send me a new one after he listens to this.
Space Vikings are back for a limited time (only at participating locations, terms and conditions may apply, see our website for details).
How about a little more Tony Stark? Also, finally hear Jordan's much anticipated Woody Allen impression.
Our 4th of July Special! Some of you might think its two weeks late but its actually fifty weeks early.
Also on this episode, Cade breaks down and sees Wonder Woman, tries to talk Jordan into watching The Leftovers, and the boys have a realization about their friendship.
It may be the first sequel but after The Hulk I can safely say this isn't the first deuce Marvel has thrown in my face.
The boys also discuss: Red Dragon, the 2003 Hulk, physics, movie theme songs, and how much the male heart rate increases during intercourse.
Cade and Jordan dive into their first full length film, the 2008 classic, Iron Man. The dynamic duo also discuss: Other 2008 cinema, Logan, Cade's odd movie watching habits, and other possible podcast ideas.
The first episode of our weekly podcast in which we discover whether or not Marvel sucks.
