Are you a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe who wants to dig deeper into the themes of the movies & shows? Then this is the podcast for you! In each episode, Matt and a co-host take an in-depth look at one moment, one scene from a Marvel movie or show, and use it as a jumping-off point for discussing a broader theme across the MCU. They take a look at a Stan Lee moment that resonates with this theme, listen to messages from listeners, and pause for a mindful moment, as they draw upon the resources of different contemplative traditions and apply them to the MCU. Let‘s take a Marvel Moment...

Join Matt and Steven for the second part of their discussion on mentoring across the Marvel Cinematic Universe and a look at a very special Stan Lee moment!
Last time we discussed the numerous failings of the irascible Tony Stark as a mentor, and the many mentors of Peter Parker, Spider-man. This time, we explore whether Spider-man would make a good Spider-mentor, and ask just who has the best mentor-mentee relationship in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?
"How do you know what I can handle?"
When discussing the relationship between the younger Peter Parker and his adult mentors in the MCU, Matt refers to a conversation between Dumbledore and Harry Potter which might encapsulate the failings of Stephen Strange and Tony Stark in relating to Peter:
“Youth can not know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young.” ~ Albus Dumbledore, (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix).
When Matt and Steven discuss what makes a good mentee, Matt shared the following acronym from the book 'The Be With Factor', that states the ideal mentee would be R E A D Y, but he forgot what some of the letters stood for!
Reliable - shows up
Excited - keen to learn
Authentic - opens up
Daring - ready to try new things
Young - in attitude, if not years!
Stan Lee and the Voice of Young People
If you listened with interest to the clip from the pilot to Stan Lee's 1968 talk show that sadly never was, you can find the full show on Youtube. Part one is here.
Mindful Mom
In our segment, ‘Mindful Moments in the MCU’, we make use of the ancient monastic practice of florilegia. You can find out more about this practice at: what is florilegia?, and discover the ‘Harry Potter and the Sacred Text’ podcast that inspired this segment here: https://www.harrypottersacredtext.com/
Fandom Spotlight
This episode we shine a spotlight on Steven's show 'Reel Faith', a podcast exploring the intersection between faith, culture, and youth work. I was a guest on the show before Christmas, when we discussed Spider-man: No Way Home in depth, and if you're a horror fan, I recommend you check out his episode, Finding God in the Gore, where he explains why he thinks Christian youth workers should show more horror films to the young people they work with.
