Marvel Universe superfan Method Man hosts the Marvel/Method with Method Man podcast. From Black Panther to Spider-Man, superheroes define generations and inspire hope and courage. In both comics and film, they also provide action-packed entertainment. On the show, listeners hear Method Man's conversations with guests. They discuss Marvel and share personal stories. Guests include director Kevin Smith, rapper Jean Grae, and sports journalist Jemele Hill.
Podcast host Method Man (real name Clifford Smith, Jr.) has had a prolific career in the entertainment industry. The Staten Island native is a Grammy Award-winning rapper, record producer, and member of the rap outfit Wu-Tang Clan. Method Man also has acted in many films, including Garden State, Venom, and The Cobbler. He's yet to fulfill his dream of acting in a Marvel movie and hopes to play the role of Bishop.
American actor Joe Manganiello joins the podcast in one episode. He's famous for his roles in the TV series True Blood and the Magic Mike films. Joe and Method Man discuss their love of Wolverine. The character is an antihero. Wolverine is a mutant with extra sensory abilities, regenerative powers, and retractable claws. His tough exterior cannot hide his heroic qualities. Joe also shares how he first started collecting comics as a kid. The tale involves theft. As a fan, he did what he could to get his hands on his favorite comics.
Fast & Furious star Michelle Rodriguez shares how antiheroes inspired her career on the podcast. The Punisher is a brutal figure with psychological troubles and trauma. For Michelle, there's a griminess she can relate to. She doesn't like it when people tell her what to do or control her. The Punisher shares that attitude toward the world. He lives free and walks with respect.
Method Man's love of the Marvel universe is evident. He's collected over 30,000 comics and is even more dedicated since getting a cameo in one Marvel comic. The Marvel/Method with Method Man podcast is one more way he expresses his love for that world.
