Cinema Excelsior is an exploration of films based on Marvel Comics. We analyze the good, the bad, and the really, really bad movies that make up the Marvel canon and try to understand what makes each one succeed or fail as adaptation, as production, and as art.

ExplicitEpisode 3: Captain America | Join the Cinema Excelsior team for an inexplicable trip to Italy as we endure director Albert Pyun's 1990 epic "Captain America," starring Matt Salinger (son of "Catcher in the Rye" author J.D. Salinger), Scott Paulin, and Ronny Cox. Daniel reminiscenes about his childhood experience watching this film in syndication. Nick learns an exciting new method for stealing cars. Derek finds his voice as a screenwriter. Stefan yearns for a cool, refreshing Molson. It's all part of a last-ditch attempt to understand how this runaway nuclear missle of a film could have been gently nudged so far off course. | 10/22/2013 | Free | View in iTunes |
