VersaVersary Special Release: X-Men / Avengers - House of M

This week we take you behind the scenes on the Madame Web movie and explore Sony’s FAILED Marvel Universe! We’ll ask all the big questions like; why is this Z-list Spider-Man character getting her own movie? Why ISN’T this a Spider-Woman film? And just how badly did this movie BOMB at the box office?! We’ll take you behind the scenes on the disastrous production and marketing of Madame Web, the press tour from hell, and whether stars like Sydney Sweeney and Dakota Johnson regret being in this lacklustre Marvel bomb!

With the MCU’s Captain America Brave New World in cinemas, we head back to 1990 to look at the first-ever Captain America cinematic movie. How and why did this Marvel movie become a complete low budget disaster? We’ll take you behind-the-scenes on how Cannon Films got into the Marvel movie business, how JD Salinger’s son was cast as Steve Rogers, and how the whole production lost its entire six million dollar budget right before filming! It’s a crazy story of a film being re-written on the fly, cameras running out of film, and the studio hating the finished movie so much they re-edited the entire thing … and made it worse! We’ll also explore Captain America in the 1980’s to uncover perhaps the most interesting and political time in the history of the character. And we’ll deep-dive the movie scene-by-scene as only MVM can!

This week we swing back to the 1970’s for a deep-dive into a forgotten corner of the Marvel Universe - the Japanese Spider-Man! It's a wild tale of how Marvel gave the character rights to a successful Japanese TV and Movie company, who proceeded to transform Spider-Man into a much more Japanese pop culture character! Time to get a motorbike, a flying car, a spaceship, tons of aliens, a giant Transformer robot, and a thirst for REVENGE! This is a Spider-Man unlike ANYTHING we’ve seen in the Marvel Comics or the MCU! And if we’re gonna chart the full history of Marvel, we’ve got to spend some time on the Japanese Spider-Man of 1978!
