The Marvel movie universe is vast... and Now Playing Podcast has reviewed them all! From the earliest TV experiments and low-budget oddities to the glossy blockbusters that built a cinematic universe. We’re talking the made-for-TV Captain America and Hulk films, the ’80s and ’90s misfires, Dolph Lundgren’s Punisher, Howard the Duck, Elektra, and every major theatrical release through the rise and dominance of the MCU.
Hits, misses, cult favorites, and outright disasters. Decades of shifting tones, studio deals, and creative swings that paved the way for today’s superhero landscape.
Our hosts examine the entire Marvel movie legacy to see how we got from rubber ears and shaky fight scenes to billion-dollar team-ups.
