Spoiler Conversation: The Marvels
On the November 13, 2023 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film editors Jacob Hall and BJ Colangelo to have a spoiler-filled conversation about The Marvels.
Opening Banter:
In The Spoiler Room: The Marvels
- Quick acknowledgement of its sub-par box office performance, the delight some people are taking in its failure, etc. If you want to listen to people gleefully celebrate this movie’s failure, I’m sure there are plenty of places to do that, but that’s not what we’re doing here.
- Brief reactions
- Jacob
- BJ
- Ben
- Breakdown
- The movie opens with Dar-Benn, played by Zawe Ashton. She’s now the leader of the Kree, and is searching for the Quantum Bands. She uncovers one of them and Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) has the other. Before we get into the heroes, let’s talk about the villain.
- So Dar-Benn opens these jump points across the galaxy, and by the end of the movie, we realize she’s trying to use these portals to essentially siphon resources back to her home world of Hala – including Earth’s sun. (I’m not really sure how that works, and the movie isn’t super interested in the details, either.) But the jump points create some sort of anomaly in space, and Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) and Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) end up touching things they shouldn’t have touched, and Kamala Khan’s bangle/Quantum Band ropes her into one of the movie’s main ideas, which is that these three women are linked, and when any two of the trio use their powers simultaneously, it causes them to switch places. Antics ensue.
- At one point, they visit a planet called Aladna, where everyone sings as their primary form of communication, and it’s revealed that Captain Marvel is married to a prince.
- How did you think the film dealt with the relationship between the three women? Monica and Carol have history, Kamala worships Carol.
- Sam Jackson on a space station, using Flerkens kittens as escape pods.
- Eventually Dar-Benn gets a hold of both Quantum Bands, is nearly killed by the power of using both at the same time, and inadvertently rips a hole in the multiverse. Monica convinces Carol to make amends for destroying the Supreme Intelligence and basically causing a Kree civil war by flying into Hala’s sun and reigniting it with her powers.
- Kamala and Carol supercharge Monica, who flies into the multiversal hole to close it, but ends up being stuck on the other side.
- I guess the Khans are living in Louisiana now?
- Kamala goes to recruit Kate Bishop
- The mid-credits scene
- Monica wakes up in a medical bay overseen by Dr. Hank McCoy, aka Beast, played once again by Kelsey Grammer. Monica’s mother, Maria Rambeau, played by Lashana Lynch, is sitting at her bedside, but this is an alternate universe version of the character who didn’t die during the five years Monica was Blipped, and she apparently has no idea who Monica is. BJ, you wrote an article about this, so tell me what that costume was that Maria was wearing.
- Kevin Feige continues to slow-play the introduction of the X-Men into the MCU.
- Closing thoughts

Echo Trailer, Rebel Moon Universe Expands, New Peanuts Movie, and More
On the November 7, 2023 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film editor BJ Colangelo to talk about the latest film and TV news, including the Echo trailer, Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon, and the new Peanuts movie.
Opening Banter:
In The News:
- Marvel's Blade Reboot Will Be Rated R, According To Its Director
- Any other R-rated properties you think Marvel should tackle? Thunderbolts, Armor Wars, Avengers sequels - they won’t do it with X-Men proper or Fantastic Four - maybe a new Punisher?
- I saw a comment on an old Reddit thread where someone was arguing that there shouldn’t be any R-rated MCU movies aside from something like Deadpool, which doesn’t impact the ongoing narrative, because that rating makes it inaccessible to the kids who love these stories. Do you have any thoughts about that? (HP example)
- Marvel's Echo Trailer Teases The Origin Of Kingpin's Adopted Mercenary
- Echo Will Introduce New Marvel Spotlight Banner, For People Who Hate Doing MCU Homework
- Could the MCU ever evolve to a place where just the Avengers movies are interconnected?
- Echo's Incredibly Violent New Trailer (And Hulu Release) Suggest A Very Different Path Forward For Marvel
- Is It Time To Let The MCU Just Die?

/Film Daily is Back! Five Nights at Freddy's Box Office, Looking Ahead to The Marvels, and More
On the November 6, 2023 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film staff writer and box office analyst Ryan Scott to talk about the latest film and TV news.
Opening Banter: Thanks to the support of you all, the listeners, The /Film Show is once again /Film Daily! Starting today, we are immediately jumping back to doing the podcast five days a week. We’re going to try to stick to a loose pattern of talking about box office on Mondays, news on Tuesdays, doing a water cooler on Wednesdays, a group conversation/debate/list on Thursdays, and Fridays will be a floating day where we may feature an interview or talk about more big news that dropped throughout the week. I also want to get back into doing big spoiler conversations about major movie releases, so we’ll try to introduce those back into the mix as well and may shift the schedule around to accommodate those as needed. There’s a chance we might miss an episode here or there due to holidays or sickness or just life stuff happening, but we’re ramping back up in a major way.
The reason we’re able to increase the frequency of the show again is because of our ad partners, and because of listeners like you. So if you hear about a product or service that you’re interested in, it’s important to use the specialized web addresses that we provide, because it’s your way of telling our partners “/Film Daily sent me” and it keeps them interested in working with us, which will keep us able to continue making the show. So thank you all very much for listening, and I look forward to getting back in the groove with all of you.
In The News:
- Killers of the Flower Moon conversation
- Is The Marvels Facing Certain Doom At The Box Office?
- Do you think this might be AMC’s mystery movie? “Screen Unseen”
- It’s a Wonderful Knife
- The Holdovers
