The Marvels Movie Review

Nerd Alert Girls

Time to coo about Kamala Khan and bring out the soap box! Marvel marks a first with three female characters leading the film... and the lowest box office opening weekend yet. We discuss the nuances of theater-going in the real world before diving into The Marvels - a delightful film that almost seems afraid of how charming it could be. We’ll talk about the hilarious parts, the heartwarming parts, and the parts that left us scratching our heads. Basically, the MCU needs to commit to the bit... and let the Flerkens eat you.

Congrats to SAG-AFTRA for getting the win! Appreciate the folks who make the art you love!

In the midst of the devastating war in Gaza, we at Nerd Alert Girls hope you can take the time to check in with your Jewish and Palestinian friends and stand against both antisemitism and Islamaphobia.
