This week on the InSession Film Podcast, with Phase 5 of the MCU coming to an end with Thunderbolts*, we thought it would be fun to rank all of the Marvel films released post-Endgame in Phases 4 and 5! We also discuss the May box office and the recent news of Trump targeting Hollywood.

– May Box Office (3:39)
We began the show this week with more box office talk, primarily because this time last year was panic mode as it appeared to be the death of cinema. However, with Sinners continuing to do well and Thunderbolts* off to a good start (even if it’s down by MCU standards), it appears that Summer this year will manage much better results.

– Trump’s Nonsense (29:15)
It may turn out to be nothing, as some have predicted, but it’s worth bringing up the recent news that Trump is potentially going to lay tariffs on foreign films coming into the Unites States. It would be a really dumb decision that would kill the industry. Hopefully with Tom Cruise on the case, everyone can come to their senses and we can make decisions that elevate cinema instead of destroying it.

– Ranking the MCU post-Endgame (1:29:13)
The Marvel Cinematic Universe made massive waves with the ending of Phase 3 and the Avengers coming together to defeat Thanos as part of Infinity War and Endgame. However, since then it’s been quite a mixed bag for the MCU. It’s had a few highs, and Phase 4 was more consistent than it gets credit for (we would argue), but generally it’s been a rudderless campaign the last few years. With Thunderbolts* turning the page, we are hoping that things start to look up for the MCU. So, we thought it would be fun to rank all of these movies and see where the MCU sits right now as it pivots. What do you think of our ranking?
