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 deep-dive into the failed 90’s Captain America movie is the most recent episode to feature in the Year 5 Top 5, from February of 2025. Listener Graddlecakes said “the behind the scenes section is maybe the very best you’ve ever done”.
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!

We’ll bring you the full story of how Angel became Archangel, the history of the Four Horsemen, Apocalypse’s connection to Wolverine and the Hulk, the Brotherhood Of Evil Mutants, and we’ll answer the question “is the cartoon Apocalypse better than the movie Apocalypse?”
