Matt Morris, Natalie Morris, Evan Morris, Bennett Morris

The Morris family (Matt, Natalie, Evan, and Bennett) is ready to share their insights and interests in and around the world of movies, music, art, animation, literature, and probably a little bit of meme culture. We're likely to also reveal more about ourselves than any of us are ready for. Sounds fun! Let's begin...

    Civil War of the MCU

    Evan and Matt begin Phase 3 of Marvel's Cinematic Universe, 2016's Captain America: Civil War. It's the thirteenth entry in the MCU, and probably the 13th time Evan has watched it (just kidding - he's watched it way more times than that). How will they rank it among the previous 12 movies? How will they rank the villain? How will their relationship survive their disagreement about this villain? Why is Matt rambling on about Jefferson Airplane? Tune in and find out!

    Ant-man of the MCU

    Following yet another long break between episodes (we know, we know), Evan and Matt are back to continue their slow moving journey rewatching and ranking the movies of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This episode brings them to the end of MCU phase two, 2015's Ant-man. The guys will discuss what they do and don't like about the movie, consider the smallness of the film (literally and figuratively), rank the villain's impact, and ultimately decide where Ant-man ranks among the MCU's first twelve films. And why are they talking about Dick Van Dyke's bad English accent? Hard to say. Give the show a listen and find out!

    Age of the Ultron (of the MCU)

    Evan and Matt Morris continue rewatching and ranking the movies that are part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With 2015's Avengers: Age of Ultron, their journey introduces three new Avengers (Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Vision), and immediately says goodbye to one of them. As with previous episodes, Evan and Matt will rate the villain, look for Stan, and rank this movie against those that have come before it. And, as always, things will get a little silly along the way.

    Guardians of the MCU

    Guardians of the Galaxy is the tenth movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe series. Matt and Evan take another look at the film, and discuss what they do and don't like about it. They'll consider how it stacks up against the other movies in that first ten, the impact it had on the careers of its stars, the films critical response, and how they would rank film's villain. In addition, Evan comes to terms with his Howard the Duck hatred, and did I just hear Matt compare the movie to Star Wars? Tune in to hear what it's all about on this week's episode of Pop of the Culture

    The Winter Soldier of the MCU

    Marvel follows one of the MCU's weakest offering (Thor: The Dark World) with one of its best! In this episode of Pop of the Culture, Matt and Evan dive into how they feel about Captain America: The Winter Soldier. They'll discuss the top notch action sequences, the spy-thriller vibe, character development, the chemistry between Steve and Natasha, as well as rank the villains and place this movie in its proper order with the MCU movies that came before it. Will you agree with their thoughts? Tune in and find out!

    Thor: The Dark World of the MCU

    Following a six month hiatus, Matt and Evan begin to play catchup on their re-watching of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with a viewing of 2013's Thor: The Dark World. Widely considered one of the weakest films in the MCU, Evan and Matt will consider why that is and also provide their take on Thor's second solo entry.

    Iron Man 3 of the MCU

    Evan and Matt are continuing their rewatch of the MCU, jumping into Phase two's first film, Iron Man 3 (that's a lot of different numbers in the back half of that sentence). Bennett also returns to the podcast, sharing his observations and defending his position that Iron Man 3 "slaps." The crew gets into Tony Stark's continued character development, favorite action sequences, and of course, their feelings on Marvel's controversial decision to bait-and-switch fans with their use of The Mandarin in this film. In addition, they'll give some quick thoughts on The Eternals critical backlash, where this movie ranks against the Phase One films, and maybe make sense of why Matt keeps calling Aldrich Killian "Kildrich." This and more is coming up on this episode of Pop of the Culture!

    The Avengers of the MCU

    Evan and Matt continue rewatching the movies of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this time joined by Bennett. What did our panel of three think of the movie following their rewatch? Was Marvel able to effectively balance such a large ensemble? How will they rank this movie against the rest of Phase One? Does Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. still exist, or is this now the definitive end of Coulson? How do they like Mark Ruffalo? Will Evan learn to correctly pronounce Cobie Smulders name? And how will our trio navigate around just two available microphones? These questions and more will be answered in this episode of Pop of the Culture!
