The Avengers (2012): Marvel's Masterplan Finally Comes Together

Ben & Rob suit up to take on ‘The Avengers’, not only Marvel’s final film of Phase One but our last in this year's coverage of the franchise! Representing the final move in Marvel’s master-plan to monopolise the movies; the final piece of a jigsaw started when they bet the entire Avengers IP in exchange for a £500m loan from Merril Lynch. Bringing together all of their superheroes to date, the cast bulges at the seams trying to stitch together the talent of Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L Jackson, Jeremy Renner and many more.On its release the film became the most financially successful film ever made - but does it stand up over ten years later? Does it effectively tie up the loose threads of the previous five films or simply plant yet more seeds? Will cinema ever return to what it was before the mega franchise machine started printing money? And did Ben & Rob even watch these films?!PLUS!

Thor (2011): A Rainbow Bridge Too Far Or Shakespeare On Steroids?

Ben & Rob take a swing at 2011’s ‘Thor’; Marvel’s Kenneth Branagh directed fourth instalment in the cinematic universe that redefined the box-office. Introducing the third and arguably strongest Avenger, ‘Thor’ finds Asgard’s buffest boy banished for boisterous behaviour whilst his smarter, more attractive brother ends up man of the house. With Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Natalie Portman and the incomparable Anthony Hopkins in leading roles, the film succeeded at the box-office despite a lukewarm reception from critics. But with Thor’s enduring impact on the Avengers and Marvel’s entire franchise, does this first chapter of his tale still stand up? Is this just Marvel’s play for reflected ‘Lord Of The Rings’ money? Why is so much of this film shot at a 45 degree angle? And will Rob have ANY respect left for Ben after some of the ridiculous statements made in this very show?

The Incredible Hulk (2008): Why Is Making A Good Solo Hulk Movie So Hard!?

Ben & Rob smash their way through episode two of their series covering every MCU Phase One movie ever, and do battle with 2008’s ‘The Incredible Hulk’. Starring Ed Norton, Liv Tyler, William Hurt and Tim Roth Marvel has this movie in the wings should their first cinematic experiment, ‘Iron Man’, not become the international blockbuster it was always destined to be. Despite a cast that cost more than the co-hosts' entire lives to date, the resulting film was sadly considered just as underwhelming by wider audiences.But has Marvel’s ugly stepchild matured into a tolerable Christmas dinner guest? Can Liv Tyler summon the strength to speak in anything above a breathy whisper? What could this film have been if Ed Norton’s rewrites and far lengthier runtime made it to the final cut? And perhaps most importantly, can Ben make it the entire episode without making a HulkJunk joke?

Gran Turismo (2023): Neil Blomkamp's Gaming Guy Gains Ground & Grinds Gears

Ben & Rob complete their lap of every Neil Blomkamp movie ever with his 2023 film 'Gran Turismo', starring Archie Madekwe, David Harbour, Orlando Bloom and Djimon Hounsou. When veteran Playstation gamer Jann Mardenborough wins the chance of a lifetime to compete in professional races, will his lack of real-world experience be an obstacle to him winning the race, the girl, and the love of two fathers? Or did Sony hope that by bringing together Legolas and the Hellboy no-one wanted they might shift some Playstations? But most importantly of all, has Neil Blomkamp's got any bankable reputation left after the hellishly awful ordeal of Demonic was unleashed on audiences? Perhaps Gran Turismo is the final nail in the coffin of a once promising director who gave us the sci-fi perfection of District Nine. Or maybe, just maybe, its the roaring comeback we know this director deserves.
