Wil and Katelyn take a moment to reflect on the past year of movies and podcasting, and give a peek behind the curtain of what the next year (or ten) of the podcast will entail!

Katelyn’s Avengers try to save the world from Wil’s Sinister Six (The Eternal Caboose).

Wil and Katelyn welcome DM extraordinaire and complete and utter nerd Ryan to the pod to discuss the epic tale of The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring for the movie’s 25th anniversary. He and Wil take the time to torture Katelyn in stereo and do some staggeringly good Sam impressions. Listen in as Katelyn is met with two very separate approaches to her feelings about this movie: levelheaded appreciation of her sportsmanship and understanding of her complaints (Ryan), and YELLING (Wil).

A self-indulgent and off-topic Marvelous Marathon episode? Who would have thought! It’s Wil’s birthday this week, so instead of watching another Marvel movie (yawn), he’s finally taking Katelyn (and you the audience) through his oft-mentioned plan to re-work the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s “Multiverse Saga” (That’s everything after Avengers: Endgame). Re-ordering/re-imagining/re-casting some of your favorite Marvel movies/moments/heroes has been a year-long personal project, so please don’t be too mean if you think it's stupid. We’re just trying to have fun!Linked below is Wil’s full document as a sort of MCU show-bible. It’s both a PDF and a Google Doc. We recommend downloading the PDF for the least amount of errors when it comes to loading pictures, but we’ll leave the Comment feature turned on in the Google Doc, so you can interact with us and add your own ideas!This is Part 1 of 5 of a week-long series of episodes.

Thank Goodness! Wil and Katelyn are here to discuss the newest Marvel Movie, Wicked: For Good. Joined by Friend of the Pod™ Kelly, they all discuss the inherent weirdness of Act Two of Wicked, the inherent sexiness of Jonathan Bailey, and the complete nothingburger-ness of this movie’s new songs.

Wil and Katelyn reach back into the Marvelous Mailbag to answer YOUR burning questions about all things Marvel and otherwise. They also provide updates on the current state of Pop Queens and the absolute tomfoolery happening on The Morning Show (CRUDUP NATION). Wil tries his best to reel Katelyn in as she simultaneously recaps and eulogizes Stranger Things and forces Wil to make predictions for the ultimate fate of a hundred characters he has zero memory of.

Listen. Cards on the table. We hated this one. So in quite a deviation from our normal format, we recap the plot of this one in forty five seconds and then kind of just talk about our favorite lines and reminisce about the Arizona Science Center for the rest of the ep.

And not just any movie, but the complete and utter nothingburger that is Fantastic Four: Dawn of the… er… War of the… uh, wait… oh yeah, Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007).

If you like discussion of hot dogs and one man struggling to read several incoherent sentences, have we got an episode for you! Just in time to reflect on if they were too hard on 2025’s Superman, Wil and Katelyn throw themselves into the weird and wacky hijinks of Superman II (1980). Join them as they discuss the glorious fanfiction aura emanating off of this film, and the bizarre plot synopsis of it online.The greatest hits and dumbest bits: Wil’s beef with Conan Gray, CAMO Corner, TCM is taking Wil’s job, Release the Hot Dog Cut, “… Rocky???”, “Y’all Heard of This?” CornerNext Mission: Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver SurferInstagram: @marvelousmarathonEmail: [email protected] by: Wil ArendsStarring: Katelyn WeberEditor: Michael MartingArtwork: Emmy WeberMusic: Allie Kelly

For the final installment of Katelyn Month, your fearless co-hosts torture themselves with one of the worst movies ever featured on this podcast: the 2015 Disney Channel Original Movie, Descendants. In a refreshing change of pace from last week’s tussle, Wil and Katelyn are on the exact same page about this trainwreck (except for the best song). They both—quite frankly—freak out as they get to the bottom of what the hell happened here, and who this movie is even for. Join them if you dare, but be warned: no magic, no wifi, and no fruit.The greatest hits and dumbest bits: Lynchian Limu Emu, “I AM FREAKING OUT”, Michael Jackson’s presence in this movie, Kathy Najimy is Sandra, “I’m Dopey’s son”, "Chips", OneCookieGate, The Worst Thing Wil Has Ever Experienced, Jay is Canonically ThirtyNext Mission: Superman II (1980)Instagram: @marvelousmarathonEmail: [email protected] by: Wil ArendsStarring: Katelyn WeberEditor: Michael MartingArtwork: Emmy WeberMusic: Allie Kelly

Hop on the bus; we’re headed to Sky High! Katelyn month continues as she and her Hero Support Wil discuss the 2005 superhero epic. If you thought their disagreement on F4 was intense, buckle up. Will they cement themselves as permanent enemies, or will the power of friendship allow them to overcome their differing opinions and Save The Citizen? At least they agree on the HELLO moment that is Warren Peace’s vest & red streak of hair & bun & towel over his shoulder & bilingualism & more probably.The greatest hits and dumbest bits: Bob Dylan Movie Discourse 2.0, Our First Actual Fight (™), Mrs. Wimpy, proper name place name backstory stuff, Lovingly ham-fisted, Will Stronghold’s jail-worthy fortune cookie eating style, The comedic genius of Mr Medulla, Wil’s accidental foreshadowing to Katelyn’s next movie pick.Instagram: @marvelousmarathonEmail: [email protected] by: Wil ArendsStarring: Katelyn WeberEditor: Michael MartingArtwork: Emmy WeberMusic: Allie Kelly

It’s all happening! Katelyn uses her first of three birthday picks to force Wil to finally watch his life story: Almost Famous (2000). No, seriously, Wil is literally William Miller. Don’t talk about it for too long or else Katelyn will get all weepy. The two of them discuss what it really means to be “cool”, and what makes Almost Famous the best movie ever.

A nearly FOUR hour episode? How fitting! Katelyn eats her words and does the one thing she swore she’d never do: see The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Wil and Katelyn definitively answer the question of whether or not these are “their guys”, whether or not Wil’s impression of Ben Grimm is good (or even accurate), and whether or not JQuinn is hot in this movie. But when faced with deciding what the exact correct opinion of this movie is, they butt heads so catastrophically that it nearly ends the podcast. Luckily, their friend Pete from First Look, Final Word mediates, and maybe—just maybe—keeps them from killing each other on mic.The greatest hits and dumbest bits: The return of PreQUIPtions, Wil’s fake Fantastic Four themed food menu, Katelyn’s Alamo curse, Wil’s Avatar Minute, The great JQuinn debate, CHICAGOOOOOOOOOO, Pete cracks the whole thing wide open, Miserable Marathon Round 2Thanks to Pete from First Look, Final Word for joining us.

Flame on! Wil and Katelyn launch headfirst into the second half of Super Fantastic July with 2005’s Fantastic Four. Join them on the journey through this unfortunately forgettable plot, the goofy characters, and the Chris Evans of it all. In true MM fashion, they focus only on the important details: how much a digital camera cost in 2005, whether or not a bar is playing a physical record in 2005, and what Sue’s character literally even is. The greatest hits and dumbest bits: Pac-Man World 2: A New Musical, Directed by Toy Story, Austin Mahone as Dr. Doom, AVAB (assigned villain at birth), Wil’s completely hypothetical fanfic, the real practical wine bottle effect, FREAK!!!, a second honest try at a JLD impression, The Heal SquadInstagram: @marvelousmarathonEmail: [email protected] by: Wil ArendsStarring: Katelyn WeberEditor: Michael MartingArtwork: Emmy WeberMusic: Allie Kelly
