‘The Avengers’ commentary

This is a big one, ladies and gentlemen!


Yep, the Mash-up has spent the last few months well and truly immersed in Marvel’s Cinematic Universe getting to know a whole new family of characters. In reality, the largest test a family gathering can endure is Christmas dinner, but this is The Fictions, so we’re going to be witnessing something almost as traumatic - intergalactic invasion!


Yes, the MCU’s Phase One is coming to an end with an almighty smash and the WHINECAST boys aren’t going to be shying away from the hard topics - do logic problems matter when you’re having a damn good time? Should Robert Downey Jnr be allowed to wield so much power? Could ScarJo’s hips get any more amaze balls?


Tune into this month’s Marvel Vs DC Movie Mash-up to get the answer to these burning questions - and many many more!

'Captain America: The First Avenger' commentary

Once more into the breach, good playas!


Yes, the Mash-up is returning and once more, unsurprisingly, we’re back with the apparently inexhaustible run of films from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and this time it’s to check in with a new character to the proceedings, the big boy in blue, comic’s most famous boy scout, it’s of course Su- CAPTAIN AMERICA!


It’s a film one half of WHINECAST have only seen once prior and the other half has a mixed relationship with. But in the wake of well received and game changing 'The Winter Soldier', the exceptional ‘Guardians’ and the no-doubt-to-be-amazing ‘Age of Ultron’ (plus the soon upcoming TV adventures of a certain Ms. Carter), will we look back on Cap’s first instalment in a new light?


Will Tommy Lee Jone’s phone it in? Will Chris Evans physique be enough for Bill? Will Chris make questionable remarks about Hayley Atwells shapes? There’s only one way to find out and that’s by pumping your veins full of this podcast like Jewish Magicks Juice!

‘Thor’ commentary

Is that thunder you hear on the horizon? No, idiot, it’s the roar of excitement that the internet emits when we release a new instalment of the Marvel Vs DC Movie Mash-up!


This month, we’re somehow managing to burrow even deeper into Marvel’s maturing cinematic universe as we sit down to discuss everything ‘Thor’! Now that we’re sat on the other side of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ and Marvel has proved itself to be a hit maker of such proportions that it causes other movie studios to involuntarily soil themselves, it’s easy to forget that just three years ago a live action movie based on a hunky weather alien seemed like a pretty risky proposition. But throw together a script that’s both sassy and serious - without being pompous - get yourself some name talent both in front and behind the camera and Baby, you’ve got yourself a stew cookin’!


But once we separate the MCU entanglements, push aside the pant moistening cast and focus on the nitty gritty, are we left with a movie that stands up to scrutiny? That’s the question WHINECAST is gonna answer, so grab your MeeMou, ready your generic MP3 player and try not to fall into the OdinSleep (tm) - because a storm’s coming!

All of Whine and Space- 'Guardians of the Galaxy' review

So, it's time for what might have once seemed like a pretty big gamble for old Marvel - deriving one of their phase two films not from a hugely established property, a name brand (such as a tempting cash in with a Hulk standalone) , instead we focus on a comparatively unknown bunch for the tenth outing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe - the 'guardians of the galaxy'.


Has this gamble paid off for Marvel? Have they got too cocky, tried to fix a formula that wasn't broken? 


Essentially - are there cracks in the shiny facade? Does a large ensemble cast work for the film? When is the 12A rating stretched beyond its limits? Can a wrestler be expected to act? All these questions and more will be answered in this week's WHINECAST review!

'Iron Man 2' commentary

They said it would never happen. They said it couldn't be done.

Well, actually, they said neither of those things, but they did wonder if it WOULD be done. Yes, it's a case of better late than never this month on the Mash-up, as we've taken our damn sweet time in getting round to the third entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe because, would you believe it, some of that LIFE went and got in the way! But fear not, we've now found time to retreat into a fantasy world of robotic suits and sexy Machiavellian aliens, so we're finally ready to once again SUIT UP (geddit?) and get behind the mic!


So, this month, it's the second outing for the modest and low key Tony Stark to take to the skies, but this time he's got to deal with a threat greater than any faced thus far in the mash-up - BUSINESS.


As if that weren't enough, we've got malevolent Russians (like there are any other kind LOLZ #xenophobia), office romances, prostitutes (allegedly), senate hearings (like people loved from the Star Wars) and ScarJo looking simply delightful every moment she's onscreen! But is it a case of two many cooks spoiling the broth?


You know what to do!

'Goats in the Machine' - a podcasting marvel?

The Mash-up is fully into the Marvel Cinematic Universe now and our long term buddies throughout the project over at "Goats in the Machine' don't plan to disappoint, as they've unleashed their podcast reviews for 'Iron Man' and 'The Incredible Hulk' with the audio equivalent of an unstoppable rage monster slapping through your house and stealing all your crisps.

Has Marvel's first foray in the cineplex aged like a fine wine? Do we regret the departure of Eddie Norton from Marvel's Charles Manson-esque 'family'?
