Marvel Movie Minute • Thor: The Dark World
Marvel Movie Minute is your deep-dive into the Marvel Cinematic Universe—one film at a time, five minutes at a time. We’re working through the MCU in release order, and we’ve covered every film so far. This season, hosts Matthew Fox and Pete Wright are back together, picking up the hammer for Thor: The Dark World and unpacking every beat, from cinematic craft to comic book roots.
Behind the mics and behind the scenes, the show is powered by five creators: Matthew Fox, Pete Wright, Andy Nelson, Kyle Olson, and Rob Kubasko. Our membership program makes it possible for all of us to produce the show.
