Rhodey meets the military to turn the suit over to them. Tony eats a donut and chats with Nick Fury. That’s right. Samuel L. Jackson is back! We celebrate actors gaining notoriety in their careers after 40 and crazy contracts that actors might be offered to play multiple roles. Not to mention actors who played the same character a LOT of times.
Rhodey does a fly-by at Edwards Air Force Base, but why did he take so long to get there? We talk about that, try clearing some things up between the Mark II and III suits, chat about why the suit is so shiny, and debate when we should start calling him War Machine.
My name is Mud, not to be confused with Bill or Jack or Pete or Dennis. Get down in the muck while we discuss Nubian princes, the magically growing/shrinking river and the brilliance of Alan Cumming. All the Witchfinding you could want in only thirteen minutes!
Cameras are amazing. Eye, oracle, concerned friend… we celebrate camera movement hard as we hit the 1-hour mark! There’s a significant question of the work ethic of our AI aid. We’re still working through the geography of Tony’s house, now anchored in the kitchen. And of course, we must express concern at a key piece of technology that Tony allows to simply fly out of his house.
First a correction: we were wrong about geography! But as usual, fixing one thing breaks another. So, this minute, we pull apart Tony’s fantastic house with a celebration of a terrific soundstage. Once again, a Marvel crowd has a difficult time gauging when their health and safety is on the line. This minute gives us a great action beat as the music beat drops… hard. Iron Man roars.
It’s Rhodey v. Tony in the living room this week as we take on the legacy of famous sidekicks that lead us to James Rhodes in the suit. Plus, we get one of the most famous Marvel promotional clips used in just about every MCU reel since its release. There’s a weightlifting fight with wacky sound effects coupled with an off-screen fight between music licensing attorneys, and a blessed continuity error.
Rhodey escapes to the workshop while things get super juicy in the main party. We review the story of Gallagher for those who didn’t watch comedy in the 1980’s or 1990’s. But it’s not all silly, we end with the one of the greatest super hero entrances ever which begs a new question: is the suit a car or a badge?
Pepper and Tony’s flirting goes south as the party ends but the after-party begins. Learn why Tony couldn’t destroy a certain set piece as he loses complete control in moment of rage. Somehow, there’s a 2008 Knight Rider remake connection to this minute. And we also learn how this moment is nothing like what was originally filmed. Let’s just say Tony was complete trash and it got much better in the final version. It’s a fine line between dangerous and irredeemable when it comes to character arcs!
It’s about time…for Team Tardis to get a job! From the terror of evil bubble wrap to the horrors of middle management, we’ll talk about as much as we can in thirteen minutes.
Kyle and Rob are back to talk Trek. This time, our list is stand alone episodes of Star Trek that meant something to us. No two-parters or movies are allowed. Make it so!
