Marvelous! Or, the Death of Cinema

New Viewing Notes rundown for September over on Substack, featuring capsules on Onslaught, Hope, The History of Concrete, and Primetime. nicoleveneto.substack.com/p/nicoles-vi...

Stupidly proud of the work we put in on this one.

Coming this week to Marvelous!, Cole (zoomer who watched 9 hours of lore videos) puts a gun to our (Nicole and Stu) aging millennial heads. Five Nights at fucking Freddy’s

We all lowkey watching the tape that kills you

Heads up: Due to a spot of illness and a power outage, this weeks episode is running a bit behind. We should have it ready for tomorrow. Sorry about that!

Joined the full crew at @marvelousdeath.com to discuss my favorite Big Guy in his original, terrifying incarnation. Check it out!

The upcoming Godzilla Minus One episode out of context

Coming Thursday to the main feed, Atomic Month continues with yet another filmic behemoth reckoning with nuclear dread, courtesy of our friends in Japan beating us at our own game. Godzilla Minus One

Tomorrow on the Patreon, we ready ourselves for Godzilla Minus One (in anticipation of Godzilla Minus Zero) by going back to the OG, the definitive atomic monster movie of national nuclear trauma. GODZILLA

Put me down as Resident Evil agnostic. A fine adaptation of the franchise and notable step forward in translating the immersive experience of gaming to film. Too bad Cregger left the joke machine on the fritz.

FUN EASTER EGG: Black Hole from Christopher Nolan's "Interstellar" makes a cameo in "Oppenheimer". While not appearing directly onscreen, it is mentioned in a conversation about physics. This suggests "Oppenheimer" and "Interstellar" likely take place in the same Cinematic Universe.

Absolute Scarecrow did not appear in this episode

Coming Thursday to the main feed, an episode about the world’s most consequential product launch and the deeply autistic, pussy getting man behind it. OPPENHEIMER

Coming soon to the Patreon, we catch up on a slate of MCU related news, find out Gorilla Grodd might be the DCU’s post-Supergirl saving grace, talk about format fetishism, and delve into the Doomsday plot leak, which is the angriest Nicole has ever gotten at anything ever.

As to be expected from me, I’ve come in fashionably late with a very revealing, very personal essay on Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma. This one goes out to all my fellow sexual dissociators. substack.com/@nicolevenet...

This week over on the Patreon, we continue raiding the toy box with Mattel’s first attempt at box office gold, a movie so bad it basically bankrupted Cannon Films. It was also directed by a gay pedophile (source: LA Times). MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE (the old one)

In memory of Gloria Steinem.

She’s everything. They’re just her co-hosts. This Thursday, it’s finally time to talk about the big pink (post-)feminist cause célèbre, that important, existentialist, billion-dollar movie about a fucking doll. BARBIE

At last, we come to The Flash, the penultimate entry yet final nail in the coffin of the pre-Gunn DCEU. Yes, it's that bad. But we had a good time talking about it! www.marvelousdeath.com/e/the-flash-...

Coming this week on the main feed, uh oh sisters…

Our friend @lizw.bsky.social, who was kind enough to join us on our recent Shin Kamen Rider episode, also wrote the script for this video on Shin Ultraman. Check it out! youtu.be/BsI8NgjA3cg
