Merry Christmas, and welcome to the last minute marathon of Christmas-related movie reviews for 2024. First up, we review "Iron Man 3." We reviewed "Iron Man" and "Iron Man 2" in episodes #011 & #099. This makes the 3rd trilogy that we've completed, having reviewed the "Back to the Future" trilogy in episodes #058, #065, and #088, and "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy in a two-parter, episodes #066 & #067.

- That did the Geeks think about the topic of Tony Stark being Iron Man, even without the armored suits?
- What aspect of this movie was Todd probably too prudish about?
- What did the Geeks think about the various armored suits, House Party Protocol, and Clean Slate Protocol?

- How much did the Geeks like the pre-teen character, Harley Keener?
- What quotes did the Geeks like in this movie, and what kind of trivia did they have to share?
- Is this truly a Christmas movie, or is it just coincidence that it is set at Christmas?
- The "twist" with the Mandarin is divisive. What did the Geeks think about it?
- This whole movie can be divisive. How kind (or not) were the Geeks in their final ratings & rankings?
- And, as a final tangent, how highly did Todd praise the final season & especially the very final episode of "Superman & Lois"?
