X-MEN '97: "To Me, My X-Men" & "Mutant Liberation Begins"
First up, a programming note: we will be swapping the days we release our podcasts. We are going to release Marvelvision on Fridays and move The Bad Batch to Mondays. So expect another episode of Marvelvision this week.
On this episode: wait, the new X-Men cartoon is good? Like, really good? How did this happen? What miracle has occurred?
And in the intro: some small news, and I tried smelling salts. Wowza. They're not just in old movies, they're real, and they pack a punch.
Thanks for listening and see you again in a few days! -
News Update
As we get ready for X-Men 97 starting next week we take an episode to just catch up with the news, including the latest on Blade, Eternals sequels and the eternal production of Thunderbolts. Plus: they finished Wonder Man?!?
Next week it's all nostalgia all the time as the continuation of the 90s X-Men cartoon hits Disney+. We'll be covering the first two episodes. See you there! -
Special Oscars Recap Episode!
This week we're talking about the 96th annual Academy Awards, the first Oscars Derek has watched in over a decade! And he picked a good one to return to, as the night had surprisingly deserving winners, big fun moments and also Godzilla.
Find out our thoughts on who deserved what they won and which losers should have been winners. Hear us discuss "I'm Just Ken" and also get into an argument about celluloid! This one has it all.

Marvelvision: News & THE MARVELS
This week we're doing something a little different. We're pulling an episode of Watch Men out from behind the paywall and letting you get a listen to it - free! The episode is about The Marvels, a much-maligned MCU film that we quite liked and that is now on Disney+ and finally picking up some appreciation. What better time to get this back in front of your ear canals?
But don't worry - if you've already heard this we have a solid hours of news and putzing around, so you've got plenty to listen to this week.
If you like what you hear and want to get more of our longform movie discussions, join the Patreon at www.patreon.com/cinemasangha. You get Watch Men at the $5 and above levels! The next episode will break format as we discuss Dune Part II. -
DETECTIVE COMICS #38: First Appearance of Robin the Boy Wonder!
The Dynamic Duo is born... and right off the bat there's something a little odd about their relationship. Now, we're not taking Wertham's side on this one but it is really strange for a rich guy to simply abscond with a recently orphaned little boy.
It's Detective Comics #38, the first appearance of Robin the Boy Wonder, the multi-murdering sidekick to the Dark Knight Detective. And there are backup stories galore, a few of which contain racism!
Before that: the news! The Fantastic Four are cast. Should the movie open in such close proximity to Superman: Legacy? Or can movie theaters support both films?
Next week: we're taking a break. In the meantime, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/cinemasangha at the $5 level so you can get our upcoming podcast where we will discuss Madame Web! -
CAPTAIN AMERICA COMICS #1: First Appearance of Captain America!
When Captain America throws his mighty shield.... well, he's not throwing his shield yet, but he's already got a 9 year old sidekick who sleeps in bed with him? Yes, this is just one of the revelations coming out of Captain America Comics #1, where Joe Simon and Jack Kirby introduce the Star-Spangled Avenger and his nemesis The Red Skull.
And there are backup stories, and get this - they're first appearances of major Marvel mythological concepts as well! Pretty impressive for 1941.
Next week: Detective Comics #38, the first appearance of Robin, the Boy Wonder!
