Episode 173: Marvel Mondays: The Avengers

It’s all been building up to this: “The Avengers” (2012), which brings together the superheroes whose films we’ve discussed so far on Marvel Mondays. Nic had never seen it and really enjoyed it; Christy hadn’t seen it since it first came out and was just as impressed by its balance of action and humor. We talk about how skillfully Joss Whedon’s film weaves together all these larger-than-life characters, the underlying themes and tensions that will recur throughout the franchise and, of course, the famous post-credits shawarma scene. Let us know how you’re liking our Breakfast All Day miniseries so far, and thanks so much for joining us!
