This week on the pod your three favorite shithead haters find another thing to tell you sucks. Only this time, it's a movie everyone loves: Top Gun: Maverick, the sterile, Lockheed Martin sponsored legacy sequel to Tony Scott's (RIP) 1986 Air Force recruitment blockbuster that's equally as jingoistic but lacks the benefit of pure eighties cheese. We're mass issuing "fell for military propaganda" awards to people who should have known better but got caught up in the Cult of Tom Cruise, the sense we could finally go back to Normal under President Biden, and the desire to see some kind of sign that the "movies are BACK" after COVID. Nicole's not falling for it. Stu's plane autism was annoyed. Cole thinks its mid.

Friend and critic Jake Tropila, bravely joins us to talk about the third Jurassic World movie, which is the sixth Jurassic Park movie, in which the fist film's septuagenarian cast is reunited to putter vacantly around a lab looking at big grasshoppers. Meanwhile, in Malta, Chris Pratt does the "talk to the hand" at every dinosaur he meets and it works for some reason. It's a cavalcade of bad performances, bad direction, and terrible xillennial writing.Thank you to Jake for joining us on this Odyssey into Crap. You can find his writing on inreviewonline.com.

AnimeSerbia from Kemonofriendzone joins us on a breezy, digressive odyssey into zoomer nostalgia, 2000s toy lines, advertising, and the Tom Hanks Dynasty in an episode about a direct-to-TV CGI Hot Wheels movie.Support Marvelous! on Patreon to get the full episode and more!

Pulp month comes to a close and we get back to business as the gang discusses Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Disney and Ryan Coogler's brief Eulogy for Chadwick Boseman and the over-two-hour postscript in which they desperately cast around for replacements for all the guys that retired before Covid. An origin film for not only a new Black Panther, but a new Iron Man Jr. and completely revamped "Namor: The Sub-Mariner", they could've called it Ironheart Origins: Latinx Wakanda. Other discussions include: The contradiction between an idealistic power fantasy and anti-colonial politics, the friction between Coogler and Disney, US diaspora politics, the limits of MCU worldbuilding, murkovision, and more!

For some people the mere mention of December 25th, 2010, or "The Day Gainax Ruined Christmas," instills fear and traumatic flashbacks to being Le Trolled. For Nicole, it was another day in dad's mancave on the family desktop computer lurking /a/.

In our final Pulp Month outing before we return for duty back at the IP slop mines, we watched the Warren Beatty vanity/autistic-passion project Dick Tracy, yet another attempt by Disney to play catch up to Warner Bros. and Batman. A nearly $50 million black tank-top movie shot by the DP of The Bird with the Crystal Plumage where Al Pacino in heavy prosthetics eats out the scenery and Madonna blasts nip. And in our most brain damaged discussion since The Book of Henry, we delve into Beatty's attempts to hold onto the Dick Tracy rights with Dick Tracy Special and Dick Tracy Special: Tracy Zooms In. Have you considered extending your life with SP (small portions), pomegranates, and our friend the blueberry? Plus, Stu reads a questionable selection from Madonna's Sex book that even freaked Nicole out.

He can cloud men's minds with braps of mediocrity. We continue our foray into Pulp Month with our first actual pulp character, The Shadow, starring Alec "walkemdown" Baldwin as the titular character.
