Ep 69 (Nice) - Ranking Marvel Movies From 19 to 1 After Infinity War's Digestion

Mike, Mike, and Oscar

***This is a Spoiler Free Episode*** Obviously, knowing what sequels get made or will get made could be considered spoilers. We also discuss some plot premises. But if you’re not counting those, we stay away from Spoilers on this countdown. MCU Phase 1-4 Recap - 2:19 Ranking Introduction - 8:23 Dishonorable Mention 20 - 8:35 Perfecting Marvel Perfection (Ranking the Entire MCU) 19 - 16 (A Family That Lists Together…) - 9:01 15 - 14 (A Slight Deviation) - 13:08 13 - 12 (Reunited and It Feels So Good) - 15:47 11 - 8 (The Band Finally Splits Up) - 19:15 7 (The Band Gets Back Together)- 27:55 6 (The Reunion Tour is Cancelled) - 29:18 Our Top 5 MCU Movies - 31:45 Top 10s Recap - 45:59 Final Thoughts - 46:59 There are 19 films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We’ve watched and reviewed each of them over the past two months in our MCU series. Of course, we’re gonna devote an entire podcast to rank our favorites. Though we give you a feel for each plot and may color in some of our reviews, this is otherwise a Spoiler Free episode. This show’s format is simple. We recap the 19 films in the MCU over the four phases, including the upcoming films scheduled for release in Phase 4. Then we rank & grade the MCU films in a duelling countdown from 19 down to 1. We laugh while our lists (which we didn’t speak to each other about beforehand) go in the same way. Then we have some red faced fun debating things when we begin to differ. There’s some fire. There’s some grand statement making, and the Mikes get heated up for a spell there. But despite our differences (god, we live sheltered lives), we come together in our celebration of this wonderful landmark achievement that is the MCU. It’s the Oscar Off-Season, and we’ve loved this chance to cover some other projects, including this MCU in review series. Do go back and listen to the first 7 episodes reviewing each of the 19 films, especially our ultimate review of Avengers: Infinity War (ep 68), and our two parter on Black Panther (eps 42 & 43). We also break for Netflix coverage (eps 9, 37, & 61), themed episodes like our series on Basketball Movies in time for March Madness (eps 54 & 55), we invent movie games like See Buy Skip (ep 59), and we cover all the best theatrical releases year round in our movie event reviews (like Star Wars: The Last Jedi eps 17 & 18, and A Quiet Place in ep 62). The of course, we cover the hell out of the Oscars and the full award season leading up to Hollywood’s big night. Just look back at our catalog for reviews of all the major nominees, which just happen to all now be on demand to buy or rent at home. We review each Oscar category, predict the winners, and then review the show & the year in movies in multiple episodes. From our own Award Show to a beat for beat recap of the one hosted by Hollywood, we do cover the hell out of the Oscars when the time comes. To prove it, we’ve already previewed next year’s show with ep 53. So stay tuned for much more 2018-19 coverage on the Academy Awards. Otherwise, we also have fun diving back into Oscar History. Our retrospectives review categories of Oscar’s past. Whether we focus the big 7 like the four acting, screenplay, director, picture, or we have some off-season fun talking Best Original Songs, we love to mine Oscar history for the great stories both on and off the silver screen. So Award Season or not, we hope to become a go-to movie podcast for you all. We’re growing, and we thank you for that fact. Any continued help to spread the word about our show is also appreciated.

We’re Mike, Mike, and Oscar!
