With Nicole away, Cole and Stu indulge themselves with a two and a half hour conversation about The Pitt, a popular new medical drama. It's just good TV. Would you like to hear more? Subscribe at patreon.com/marvelousdeath!

It's the movie that finally got people back into the theaters after a global pandemic, a billion-dollar hype machine/feat of emotional manipulation that successfully weaponized our collective nostalgia by retrofitting two previous iterations of Marvel's flagship character into a snake sucking its own dick. Everything you once loved and found heart-wrenching pathos in will be reduced to fan service or lamp shaded to death with aloof ironic detachment. Digitally de-aged villains whose internal struggles can be cured with a homemade injection concocted with kitchen science. A once bustling metropolis filled with everyday citizens barren save for whatever extras can fit against a blue-screen. The entire multiverse fracturing under the weight of a wish to get into MIT. Great powers and great responsibilities in service of Kevin Feige's bank account, save for the cut Sony and Amy Pascal get to take home. The tragedy is that you don't realize what you're tasting is ash in your mouth because you've been convinced otherwise.

You are not immune to popaganda. But we are.

This is a preview of our double feature episode on two films that help revitalize the action genre in the 2010s, The Raid (2011) and John Wick (2014). Would you like to hear more? Subscribe at patreon.com/marvelousdeath!

Divergent opinions on this episode as friend of the show Violet (@paradeofviolets) joins us to discuss this peculiar and belated fourth outing in the iconic turn of the millennium action sci-fi series. Whether or not you think it's good, it's certainly interesting and marks an artistically sincere change of pace from the usual franchise and 'legacy sequel' faire. Discussions include: Making art under threat, what it means to be sincere, gender identity & trans art, ideology & social control, the dream of revolutionary pop culture, takes on the original film and suffering from success. The Matrix... is a land of contrasts.
