DTVC Extra 42, MCU Phase 3

Explicit content warning

02/22/25 • 105 min

"DTVC Extra" are shorter solo episodes that I'll be posting on some weeks in addition to the main podcast. In this episode I look at Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In the first segment, before I look at the first six films in the phase, I look at the intervening year or so between "Ant-Man" and "Captain America: Civil War" and some of the important moments in comic book movies. I also get into what my thoughts were on the MCU at that time. Then with the six films, I look at the ones I liked best, and what made all of them work. With the second segment, I look at the two Avengers films and the impact they had on comic book movies as a whole, including the two MCU films that come out between them. Finally, I wrap by looking at the overall legacy of the MCU Infinity Saga.

DTVC Podcast 198, "Def By Temptation"

In this episode I'm joined by Freddie Young from Full Moon Reviews as we look at the Troma classic, "Def By Temptation". Before that, we look at the upcoming "Captain America: Brave new World" (which has now been released in theaters), and what 2025 could look like for Marvel Studios. Then with the film, we get into how we each found this gem, what about it works so well, and then look at highlights.

DTVC Podcast 199, "Kill 'Em All" and "Kill 'Em All 2"

In this episode Sean Malloy of "I Must Break This Podcast" is back, and we're discussing the recent Van Damme DTV effort "Kill 'Em All 2." Before we get into that though, we look at the first one from 2017. Was this a film that was worthy of a sequel? And then with the second film, we look at what worked and what didn't, and where we think Van Damme goes from here.
