Minute Sixty-Six: From Zero on the Clock to Schmidt on His Back

Joining us on the show, we have Andrew and Joe Darowski returning from last season!

In the sixty-sixth minute of Joe Johnston’s 2011 film Captain America: The First Avenger

The timers go off and the factory erupts in explosions. We still wonder why Schmidt needs so many switches. Where’s the logic? And why no blue tesseract energy in the explosions?

There’s a fantastic shot in this minute involving concentric ovals and another involving concentric squares. Some stunning production design, direction, and camera placement going on that really wowed all of us.

Wouldn’t it have been nice to have a moment betwen Dr. Zola and Bucky? There clearly has been some recent history there worth at least a look. We chat about the punch, Schmidt’s face, and Cap’s choices of weapons here and in the future.

It’s the first confrontation between our hero and villain. Tune in!
