Ultraverse - The Forgotten Marvel Universe Of The 90s!

To celebrate our 5th anniversary we’re turning the whole month of April over to the X-Men’s greatest villain - Apocalypse! Apocalypse April continues with our MASSIVE scene-by-scene deep-dive into X-Men: Apocalypse - the most controversial X-Men movie of all time! We'll examine all the problems and faults with this movie, the time-jump and continuity issues that hold it back, as well as all the scenes it does really well. And we explore tons of Marvel history and trivia on the origins of Apocalypse and his powers, and his connection to other Marvel villains! We’ll find out just how powerful Apocalypse really is, dive into the twisted history of Psylocke, expose Marvel’s first mutants, the tragedy of Magneto, and bring you the secrets of THE PUNCH DIMENSION!

To celebrate our 5th Anniversary we asked listeners to vote for the five best episodes we’ve done in the last five years, so throughout April we’re releasing The Year 5 Top 5!  Our journey through the Infinity Saga started in 2020 and finally came to its conclusion in August 2024 with our 6 hour deep-dive into Avengers Endgame. The longest edition we’ve ever done, our first 3 parter, and in the words of listener Phoenix Phil “MVM simply operating several leagues beyond other podcasts.” Joins Rob and Will as they explore the production history, the comic book origins of Thanos and the Infinity Gauntlet, and then our scene-by-scene deep-dive into the movie, packed with tons of Marvel history and trivia.
