First, we welcome The Next Reel’s Andy Nelson to the show to join the party! And what a party it is. It’s part one of a new series called “The history of…” where we delve into a brief synopsis of something related to the minute you had no idea we would discuss. We see our hero properly introduced into the movie with a great twist for setting up the proper opening for the movie. What does AC/DC, WKRP in Cincinnati and Pingo Doce have to do with this minute? And what do you mean this isn’t the way the movie was supposed to start? Answers await!
Souffle Girl! The Impossible Girl! It’s time to talk about Clara. You know her, you…probably have strong feelings about her. From a cold hearted nanny, far under the ice, to a chess game like no other, we’ll talk about it all. Plus some (overdue) news about our publishing schedule!
We’re here to walk you through the strange path that lead us the release of a 4-hour superhero movie.
Did you ever wonder what gases create certain lights? Well, you’ll find out in minute five along with lots more names. We’ll discuss composers, Marvel movie music, producers … you’ll learn, you’ll be entertained and you’ll love it.
We discuss the mother of all cinematic montage sequences because lots of time and names are passing by on screen. Come along for the ride of production companies, cool cast members and even cooler directors. We’re looking at you Favreau! P.S. We love you. How could talking about names be entertaining? Oh just you listen! By the way, what is up with that submarine?
We call back to a certain 1980’s mail-in for blueprints promotion as we mourn the passing of a character. Wait, it’s only the third minute you say? Things move fast when you’re building the blocks for one of your story’s main villains who cries to Sto-vo-kor! That’s right, Star Trek references ahead. Set phasers to stunning storytelling! Oh, and some retconning that questions the legacy of Tony Stark. Or does it? Our first big Iron Man 2 argument happens in minute three!
We confess our love for some movies featuring Russians and Val Kilmer. Why? You’ll understand because there’s a connection between one of them and this minute. But wait, we’ve got our first brand new character introduced in Iron Man 2. Not human, but it’s ok. There’s discussion of press conference cameras and we introduce everyone’s favorite antagonist family: the Vanko’s! If you love Yevgeni Lazarev and/or Mickey Rourke then this minute’s for you.
We begin minute one with a tour of the good and the bad of sequels with the number 2 in them. Then the real discussion begins with Paramount, Jon Favreau and the state of Marvel Studios all the way back in 2010. We dive into some deep motion graphic history of company logos and go back to the first Iron Man movie and add in some Russian landmarks for good measure. Bonus: we’ve got a Yugo, our first, mind-blowing edition of Meanwhile in MCU and a “boyd” sighting!
