Thor
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!
