Take a trip back in time with the Assembly Required crew and special guest Angela as they discuss CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER!  How does this period piece stack up against the other MCU films so far?  Did Angela come on just to talk about how great Agent Peggy Carter is?  Who's strong and brave, here to save the American way?  Answers to all those questions, AND alliteration in the Mighty Marvel Manner, await you in this episode! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Special guest Kody joins Eduardo, Peach3z, Robbie, and Chris to discuss THOR, the Marvel Cinematic Universe's first foray into the cosmic realm. After three mostly science-based films (inasmuch as flying robot suits and Gamma Greg can be considered "science"), how does a movie about Norse gods fit into the MCU? How do the scenes in New Mexico compare to the fantasy of Asgard? Just how great is Tom Hiddleston? All that and more in today's episode! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Eduardo, Peach3z, Chris, and Robbie are joined by Angela to discuss IRON MAN 2. Is it a true Iron Man movie, or does it devote too much time to world-building? Does it do a good job of introducing the MCU's first female hero? Who's a better villain, Whiplash or a strawberry? Hear the answers to all those questions and more in today's episode! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Eduardo, Peach3z, and Chris are back to discuss the second film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, THE INCREDIBLE HULK.  Is Edward Norton or Mark Ruffalo the best Bruce Banner?  Does the film still feel like part of the MCU at large?  Why did Hulk decide to call himself Hulk?  All that and more is discussed! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
