Episode 556 - Iron Man
Added 2021-07-02 22:00:23 +0000 UTCOn this month's We Love Movies, the guys are chatting about the cinematic event that kicked off the MCU, Jon Favreau's Iron Man! Did Stark have Jarvis filming... all events around the house? How spectacular is Jeff Bridges in this? And how refreshing is it to watch a Marvel movie where there's only one superhero arc to follow? PLUS: Paul Bettany convinces Jennifer Connelly to become Disneyworld VIPs just for the people watching!
Iron Man stars Robert Downey Jr., Terrence Howard, Jeff Bridges, Gwyneth Paltrow, Leslie Bibb, Shaun Toub, Jon Favreau, Faran Tahir, Clark Gregg, Sayed Badreya, and Paul Bettany; directed by Jon Favreau.

2021-07-08 14:02:43 +0000 UTCI don't think if Marvel failed their still be mid budget movies. It's like the video game industry they don't want to make some money they want to make all the money. So they would just copy whatever the biggest thing if not Marvel then something else.

2021-07-08 00:20:11 +0000 UTCLoved this ep. What do we need to do to get you guys to review Invincible?

2021-07-07 17:57:46 +0000 UTCI hate Iron Man 3.

2021-07-07 12:05:59 +0000 UTCI dunno why but I love hearing Cabin drop little comic book facts. Y’all should do some more superhero films! I love it

2021-07-06 22:17:19 +0000 UTCAt the point they are making fun of Biden as an intellicrop and Eric goes “seeee…” implying they make fun of everyone there is a hard edit. Would love to hear the rest of that conversation
Justin Minor
2021-07-06 00:10:41 +0000 UTCI am pretty excited for the Safdies’ Underground Comix Universe you pitched, starring Urbaniak as Crumb. The Civil War installment would be the Zap Slap, where Moscoso slapped Crumb and everyone made comics about it (Zap 14).

2021-07-05 15:34:24 +0000 UTCLove the cameo from Sargent Hatred in this ep.

2021-07-05 13:37:11 +0000 UTCOMG OMG OMG! Also Black Widow WHM on screen?? i will trade any patreon but nexus for that?? I love how you guys railed on J.K. Simmons for bulking up for Justice league. Now a couple years later Tomorrow War, he makes Stalone look like Rick Moranis.

2021-07-04 15:38:29 +0000 UTCI need an episode on Zodiac after their little reference.
Lauren Dixon
2021-07-04 05:51:30 +0000 UTCGood episode. I think what you pointed about how pre-made all the Avengers movies are with their fight choreography + the Whedonisation of the dialogue post Avengers 2012 made me appreciate something like Black Panther more because it felt like the first film that was doing something new or tried to go back to pre-Avengers vibe.

2021-07-04 03:11:37 +0000 UTCThough I'm not afraid to critique the boys, Stephen is SO on point with the Marvel stuff. Most of the major action sequences for Avengers had been storyboarded/pre- vizualised YEARS before the movie was made. They do this with almost all their films. Other than certain exceptions (Coogler, likely Chloe Zhao) they basically hand you a bunch of dialogue scenes and dont let you touch the action.

2021-07-04 03:07:10 +0000 UTCThis was a fun episode! I can't wait for the rip into Iron man 2 and that dumbass cockatoo. 1 thing i disagree on, am i the only person to not like iron man 3? I watched it 1 time and thought it was dull.

2021-07-04 03:05:18 +0000 UTCI genuinely think this only got picked so Steve could do his Jeff Bridges "BUNCH OF SCRAPS" impression. And for that, I think it's justified. I'm looking forward to the second one on the main feed, mainly because I somehow paid actual money to watch that load of dogshit. Except for Winter Soldier and Guardians 2, the MCU really has a terrible record for part twos.

2021-07-03 21:44:22 +0000 UTCRDJ actually credits Burger King for his sobriety, he did an interview where he said he got a burger there and it was so disgusting it’s what made him decide to throw out all of his drugs. Adding it into Iron Man was his idea as a “tribute” to BK. (i didn’t see anyone else yell at you about this, sorry if they have! I also agree with you about the product placement!)

2021-07-03 21:12:05 +0000 UTCSame with Star Wars, these movies try to go so big and it just doesn't work. When they keep it smaller scale and give it time to breath (WandaVision, Loki...less so Falcon and Winter Soldier) it's a lot better.
Michael Daniels
2021-07-03 20:27:59 +0000 UTCI was delighted by this. I consider myself a fan of the MCU and basically agreed with everything said about this movie and the franchise. I feel like Marvel's strength is actually the smaller scale stories rather than the big team up movies. Excited for Iron Man 2 on the main feed.

2021-07-03 18:33:51 +0000 UTCOkay so when I was in jail my first instinct when I got out was to go get a sausage mcmuffin. My point is people want weird things when they undergo trauma

2021-07-03 18:11:10 +0000 UTCIt’s ok to like a movie
Brent Wood
2021-07-03 16:29:52 +0000 UTCI'd say the first one was exceptional. I didn't think highly of the second film, and I had some serious problems with the third (while still enjoying a few aspects).
Cray Z
2021-07-03 15:18:00 +0000 UTCCan't believe that this is a "We Love Movie" episode. Am I the only one who thinks these Iron Man movies are not nearly as good as people claim.

2021-07-03 14:32:35 +0000 UTCI thought this was the Grant Kenny doco? Aussies will know 😂😂
Shut It Off
2021-07-03 13:00:25 +0000 UTCI thought Jeff Bridges was a convincing and menacing villain, and the gang mentions that the politics are not good.
Derek Detzler
2021-07-03 04:14:33 +0000 UTCWait, this is Marvel’s Iron Man, not Tetsuo: The Iron Man?
Paul
2021-07-03 04:00:30 +0000 UTCI revisited this a couple years ago and I forgot how much Tony is just drinking and fucking across this movie.
Matt Lambert
2021-07-03 02:26:37 +0000 UTCPaul Bettany had some quote about how he felt like he was robbing people because he got paid 2 million dollars for just reading some lines...but then in Avengers 2 he has to dress like a tomato on prom night and you can't tell me someone at Disney wasn't like "fuck this guy" and greenlit that character design.
Michael Daniels
2021-07-02 23:57:27 +0000 UTCDid you and I watch the same disastrous iron man movie from the 00s with the same slapdash boring Jeff Bridges and racist Arab stuff like—
