Marvel Cinematic University

It brings me no pleasure to write that we watched and reviewed 2019's Dark Phoenix, a movie that is not good. However, as we are wont to do, we had a good time discussing its badness. Along for the ride is returning guest Stephanie Williams, who delivered blows to Professor X that he may never recover from.

There are no MCU movies for quite some time, so we must busy ourselves with other superhero content. So Jerome, Jake, and Anthony revisit the 2014 film "X-Men Days of Future Past" to see just how it holds up... five years later.

The original three (Jake, Jerome, and A.C.) are back together again to rejoice in the recent news that Spider-Man won't be leaving the Marvel Cinematic Universe after all. Then, because we can't help ourselves, we speculate about how his future will play out in both the Marvel and Sony Cinematic Universes. And there's other nonsense, because of course there is. There are plenty of other Marvel podcasts to listen to if you don't like the nonsense that comes with this one.

We’ve got good news and bad news, and we’re giving you the bad news first. Dave DuFour of Count the Dings and The Athletic joins Anthony and Jake to react to the news that Spider-Man is leaving the Marvel Cinematic Universe (and let’s just say we’re not pleased). After we get that out of our system, we react to all the new announcements and teasers from the D23 Expo, like the three new Disney+ series, Moon Knight, She-Hulk, and Ms. Marvel (and let’s just say we can’t wait).

We here at Marvel Cinematic University like to keep things fresh and different, so here we are with out first MCU Fantasy Draft (inspired by the wonderful podcast All Fantasy Everything). In this draft, writer Dave "Scoop D" Schilling joined the pod to draft five characters from the MCU or other Marvel properties to come together for an imagined movie. Some of us took this proposition more seriously than others, but all of us enjoyed ourselves quite a bit.

There were far too many announcements at this year’s San Diego Comic Con for us to ignore, so we had to assemble the squad to run down our thoughts on the films, castings, TV series, etc etc etc. We enlisted the help of Stephanie Williams, an expert in all things comics, to enlighten us on The Eternals, Shang-Chi, and all the other new stuff we can expect. And yes, we go off on dumb bits and tangents as much as usual.

Spider-Man: Far From Home was far from bad! The MCU crew (sans Nitz, plus ESPN’s Michael Smith) is here to go through their favorite parts of the first post-Endgame Marvel Cinematic Universe film! We go deep on Gyllenhaal, MJ, and the Peter Tingle. And then look forward to what’s next for our friendly neighborhood webslinger.

The MCUniversity is dipping its toes back into TV Land (a metaphor, not the station that plays I Love Lucy) and reviewing season two of the Freeform series Cloak and Dagger. Plus, we have our first interview for the show -- show creator Joe Pokaski, who answers Anthony his brother Rafael's big questions about the show's season and fantastic finale. It's a good one. Follow the show: @MCUniversityPod Follow Joe (who was super generous with his time): @JoePokaski Follow Rafael: @nba_trades Follow Anthony: @ACSSpotlight95 "We are media." -- Anthony Canton III to Jake Christie, 5/29/19

You asked Endgame questions and we have answers! Jerome, AC, and Jake are joined by Anthony Mayes and AC’s brother Rafael to dissect the time travel elements of the movie, what villain is coming next, etc. etc. etc. We have talked about this movie for over three hours worth of podcasts, and it’s unlikely we are close to done. Follow the show! - @MCUniversityPod Follow Rafael: @nba_trades Follow Anthony Mayes: @CornPuzzle Follow Jerome: @blackdragonroll Follow Anthony: @ACSSpotlight95 Follow Jake: @thejakechristie

A new trailer for the much-anticipated Spider-Man: Far from Home has dropped, so you know Jake, Jerome, and AC had to hop on the mic to share their takeaways. Yes, the pod is more than ten times longer than the trailer.

The Avengers might be in the Endgame now, but Marvel Cinematic University is just getting started. We are BACK to discuss the biggest film event in possibly ever: Avengers: Endgame. The regular crew of Jake, Jerome, Anthony, and Nitz is joined by two very special guests: ESPN’s Michael Smith and SI’s Robin Lundberg. We talk favorite scenes, our theater experiences, and so much more (look at the runtime of this pod), yet you can argue we just scratched the surface. Thanks for listening and we will be back soon. Follow Michael: @MichaelSmith Follow Robin: @RobinLundberg Follow Jake: @TheJakeChristie Follow Nitz: @nitzbluv Follow Jerome: @blackdragonroll Follow Anthony: @ACSSpotlight95

Avengers: Endgame might not be coming for a couple weeks, but AC will become a dad any minute now, so we had to get our preview mailbag out of the way early. Friends Mariannoo Bivins, Anthony Mayes, and Rafael Canton, as well as fan-guest Storm Bennett join the team to plow through some of your questions from Twitter and Discord. Predictably, we don't get through nearly as many as the runtime would suggest.

The Marvel Cinematic University crew woke with the news of a new Avengers: Endgame trailer, and they knew they’d have to pod about it. Join Jerome, Anthony, Jake, and Nitz, along with guest Megan Hines, as they share their thoughts on everything from Hawkeye’s haircut to Hawkeye’s haircut. We talked way too long about a two minute trailer. So enjoy.

There’s a new Marvel movie, so that means there’s a new Marvel Cinematic University podcast! Join the crew of Nitz, AC, Jake, and Jerome, along with special guest Kariemah Shah as they break down their favorite moments from Captain Marvel and discuss how it affects the future of the MCU. Also there’s the nonsense you’ve come to expect from this podcast (and if this is your first episode, thanks for listening and expect some nonsense). Follow Kariemah: @buttadlyte Follow Nitz: @nitzbluv Follow Jake @thejakechristie Follow Anthony: @ACSSpotlight95 Follow Jerome @blackdragonroll Always remember to salt your pasta water.

Your friendly neighborhood Marvel Cinematic University crew is here to save the day, and by that we mean talk about the fresh trailer for Spider-Man: Far From Home. Join Jake, Anthony, and Jerome as they cross the Atlantic to review all two-and-a-half minutes of goodness.
