"I am Iron Man." With these words, a B-list Marvel hero launched what would become the most successful film franchise in history. But back in 2008, nobody could have predicted what Iron Man would become.

This week, we dive deep into the film that started it all—exploring how Robert Downey Jr.'s perfect casting as Tony Stark created movie magic that transcended the superhero genre. What made this performance so special wasn't just RDJ's natural charisma, but how his own personal redemption story mirrored Tony's journey from weapons-dealing playboy to hero. The parallels are uncanny: a talented man hitting rock bottom, then rising from the ashes with newfound purpose. 

Have you revisited Iron Man recently? We'd love to hear your thoughts on how the film holds up and what elements you think today's superhero movies might have forgotten. Leave us a review or email us at werecommendmailbag@gmail.com with your take!

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hello and welcome to the we Recommend Podcast, a
movie podcast, where every weekwe recommend a movie for you to
watch.
Then come back here and listento us discuss.
I'm Jesse, I'm Jason.
They say that the best weaponis the one you never have to
fire.
I respectfully disagree.
I prefer the weapon you onlyhave to fire once, because this
week we recommend Iron man.

(00:21):
I was trying to think of theguitar riff of Iron man and I
just cannot, even though I justwatched it today.
So this is our first MarvelCinematic Universe film that

(00:45):
we've covered and it's the firstone they did.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
I feel like it was kind of pre-marvel, kind of
pre-mcu.
Disney didn't own it yet.
Yeah, because it started offwith the paramount logo yeah
that was fucking cool yeah it'skind of crazy and it's, I guess,
because disney doesn own it.
It was really good.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
It is wild and they just kind of copied, like just
doing this for every characterup until Avengers 1, which is
great, but you know, it's this,it's fucking what's his name.
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Robert Downey Jr.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Jesus Christ, I was actually taking notes and I was
trying to write down.
I was like I sat and I was like, all right, who plays iron man?
Tony stark?
No, that's the character.
It's like I don't know whosename is, all of a sudden robert
downey jr.
Who's great.
This is a big comeback.
Well after and this is kind ofperfect that we did first, uh,
kiss, kiss, bang, bang, and thenthis, because this solidified
him?

Speaker 2 (01:46):
was he doing this after he did or went through
rehab?

Speaker 1 (01:50):
yeah, this was all after because kiss, kiss, bang,
bang was all after rehab and himtrying to get back into public
size, being like I can act andI'm okay now.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Yeah, that's how I talked well, yeah, he fucking
kills it in this movie.
I feel like part of the reasonwhy it's so good is because he's
so funny but, at the same time,it's not like there's no screen
winking yeah not not as much aslike becomes in the Marvel.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Cinematic Universe, yeah and also this movie sucks
without him, like it's such ageneric movie.
Yeah, but you know, obviouslynow I say that seeing all these
crazy superhero movies that havegotten like bigger and louder
and kind of better plot wise,but this is just like, hey, you
know just a man who had someproblems and now is, you know,

(02:45):
good now, and he also has a.
He's a man in a can, he's got atin can on him.
A man in a can.
That's a line from the thirdone.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
It's my favorite line of the cinematic universe.
I don't know.
I remember seeing the third one, but I don't remember much
about it.
Third one, it didn't really hitas hard.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
To me.
To me, I kind of almost like ita little bit more than this
sometimes.
Sometimes I watch it and I'mlike this movie's it's a weird
one.
Well, there's like a hundredIron man suits yeah, yeah,
directed by Shane Black, who didKiss, kiss, bang Bang oh shit
nice.
So movies still hold up.
Yeah, I think so.
I fucking love it.
Yeah, it is kind of wild how itjust like pumped down and it's

(03:23):
like before you know, tony Ssuckers character had all the
like the mcu like mumbo, jumbo,like shoved onto his shoulders.
So it's just kind of like well,you know, because after what is
it?
Um, oh, you mean like thanosand shit.
Well, like even ultron andstuff like that, and or the

(03:43):
first first Avengers, where hegoes up into space and he's like
I blew up aliens and it fallsdown and now I got like PTSD and
stuff.
It's where.
It's just like.
It's just him just being TonyTony Stark and there's not like
50 references to like 50 otherthings that have happened in the
MCU.
So you just can't get a verybare bones like superhero origin

(04:05):
story.
That's just like it's veryfocused.
Yeah, and I guess, because it'skind of more of an action movie
than it is just like a full onsuperhero thing, it's not like
it doesn't get like obnoxious,really, even though I don't
think so, I say all that eventhough I love the Marvel movies.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
But yeah, the Marvel movies, but yeah, they're fun.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
Kind of I don't know.
It's just like I just it's kindof a refreshing movie,
especially if you watch all ofthem and then you go back to
this one.
It's like, ah, they don't do itlike this now.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Hell yeah, and this is a great year for me because
right after this one was, orright after this, iron man was
Dark Knight in the same year.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
Yeah, same year and everything.
What a good year.
What a good year that destroyedour cinema experiences forever.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Yeah, what a great year for billionaires.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Yeah, it completely destroyed how producers decide
to make movies, and it'swonderful.
Now, yay, I'm not going to tryto be too negative about it.
Okay, just the fact that, like,like, because of you know these
movies small, we don't getcomedies in theaters, or we
don't, or most of the runs intheaters now are like three

(05:14):
weeks because a new marvel moviehas to come out and be on every
screen.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
I'm okay, I'm good I think we should be fine.
I think we should requirebillionaires to do this, just to
be crime fighters.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Yeah, we all have all the money it's like at one
point if you want to be abillionaire, you have to get in
a tank in a war torn area andyou have to drive the tank and
survive the mission, and it'sjust by yourself.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
Oh, you guys spend billions on making a super cool
outfit.
That's true.
Oh, you got to spend billionson making a super cool outfit,
that's true.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
So before I just got an ad on the IMDb page for a
shirt that says I'm going tohell, do you need anything?
Nice, it's kind of a cool shirt.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
Well, do you.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
Ice A couple of bags maybe some dry ice.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
It won't last a while , I guess.
If it's coming from hell, thatwould be tough.
Yeah, yeah, so interest ratesgotta be crazy.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
Oh god, you know it, dude, interest is you have to
cut off an arm and you know,because the movies kind of get a
little bogged down and, likeyou know, there's so much,
there's so many people in themovies, there's so much, just
more and more stuff startshappening in the movies, kind of
forget, like how much, likelike how good.

(06:32):
I kind of enjoy therelationship between like tony
and pepper.
Yeah, and it's kind of sweet,it's just kind of like classic
action movie, like I'm a fuck up, you're a perfect woman.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
We'll'll eventually get together right Help me out,
lady, she does.
And I guess it's because it'sMiss Goop herself yeah.
She's a really good actress.
There's so many stupid goopshops or whatever Bad name,
could have done with some moregoop.
Yeah, that's the power behindTony Stark, is that?

(07:03):
Candle, yeah, do you think, atthe end when they do a wrap
party, she just hands out hervaginas and hands them to
everybody, thanks.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
You just got one guy who's like can I have yours, can
I have yours?
Yes, I'm going to melt themdown and do things.

really good too.
Rocket is probably my all-timefavorite character.
Oh yeah, rocket Raccoon.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yeah, James Gunn really made something special
there.
He's fucking awesome.
Bradley Cooper just going allout for the voice so great.
Have you ever seen videos ofhim like doing the voice behind
the scenes?
So great?
Because he gets in a characterand you like looking at him.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
It's like you shouldn't be able to make that
he records it all from inside ofa trash can.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
Yeah, just hanging out with his like other other
raccoons.
And now, like, because I'vebeen watching, like I just every
time there's an episode ofPawsburgers where Tina, because
Tina, and like some neighbors,and Teddy or not, tina, the mom,
what's the mom's name?

(08:32):
Linda, linda, yeah, likethey're obsessed with the
raccoons in the back alley.
Every time I see an episode Iwas like, damn, I wish Bradley
Cooper just had a voice, one ofthem, or something That'd be so
great.
Anyways, we'll hop into somefacts.
This is the best fucking show Iknow.
It's great.
We've we're on our second watchthrough in a row, hell yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
We have a problem at the moment.
They just got renewed for threemore seasons.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Really Three Great Three or four.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
I think they're at like 15 now.
Hell yeah, because like uh,bobs burgers, even um the one
with the american dad is comingback and like really that's
funny, the simpsons got renewedfor three more seasons or
something it's insane.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
That show will never die, that's for sure.
So for our first fact for ironman, now that we're done with
bobs burgers talk, which, if youwant, a bo Burgers podcast,
we'll do it for you?
Hell, yes, so I am Iron manGreat.
It was ad libbed by RobertDowney Jr to end the movie.
Producer Kevin Feige approvedusing it in the final cut of the

(09:37):
film and credits this with hisdecision to largely do away with
secret identities in the MarvelCinematic Universe.
This with his decision tolargely do away with secret
identities.
In the Marvel CinematicUniverse, only Spider-Man
conceals his identity, whileThor's alter ego, donald Blank
Blake, is similarly not usedBecause he used to have like a.
He's just like a guy with bluejean pants, white t-shirt and
his hair like long, luscioushair.

(09:58):
It's hilarious, like StevenUniverse's dad.
Yeah, I read some of the likeolder thor comics just whenever
I had like uh, the app on myphone that let me read some of
the comics.
They're wacky as fuck.
When anybody says like oh theuh, taika, taika, waititi movies
, they're like, they're toogoofy and stuff, I'm like dude,

(10:20):
read the fucking comic bookshe's going back in using.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
They're all so goofy I remember trying to watch the
cartoon the thor cartoon.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
I don't think I heard .

Speaker 2 (10:28):
No, no not thor cartoon um iron man card.
Oh yeah, yeah, but that you'renot talking about that no, I was
talking about thor's alter ego.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
But no, continue with the iron man no, like I just
didn't.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
It was after watching this movie, oh, and back in
2000, whatever, yeah, and thecartoon was like so not Robert
Downey Jr.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
Yeah, yeah, because they put it like this.
It's weird, like the cartoonssometimes are more serious than
that.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Yeah, a lot more serious.
Especially back in the 2000s.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
It's like make some jokes you jerk, make me laugh,
make my simple mind laugh.
Um, did you ever read anycomics?
Not at all.
Not around, really.
And this is why we're notdiving into the versions of
these comic book characters.
That's why I was just like I'mnot doing research on iron man
comic books, because I didn'tread them either.

(11:20):
Probably a lot.
I tried to read some, you know,whenever I was getting into
comics, when all these movieswere out, um, and I was just
like meh.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
The only comic book I ever had growing up was I had
one punisher comic book hell,yeah, it was the shit I did.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
I didn't read some like a punisher series, usually
with marvel.
I only read some spider-man'spunishers and, uh, moon knights,
because I really like moonknight, I like the Moon Knight
show.
I was mainly a DC boy.
I read comics Flash, batman,you know all that shit Boo,
superman, whatever.
So the script was notcompletely finished when filming

(11:56):
began, since the filmmakerswere more focused on the story
and the action, so the dialoguewas mostly ad lib throughout the
filming.
Director Jon Favreauacknowledged this made the film
feel more natural.
Some scenes were shot with twocameras to capture lines
improvised on the spot.
Robert Downey Jr would ask foras many takes on one scene,
since he wanted to try somethingnew.
Gwyneth Paltrow, on the otherhand, had a difficult time

(12:18):
trying to match Downey with asuitable line, as she never knew
what he would say.
Oh, yeah.
So essentially they're justlike what Judd Apatow was doing
and what's his name that did,like Step Brothers and all that.
They're essentially seeing that, but superhero version Nice,
and it's just funny to hear that.
Versus now how they film theirmovies, where everything is so

(12:38):
meticulous Right, especially theaction scenes and stuff.
There's a formula yeah, likethey're made before they even
have a director, I think,sometimes, which is crazy.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
I think, yeah, it does add a lot of authenticity
to the movie and you can kind ofnotice that Robert Downey Jr is
rebounding and becoming amegastar again, and he's fucking
killing it.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Yeah, he's crushing it.
He's like I'm just gonna be myweird.
He's trying yeah it's so goodand it is kind of crazy just to
see how, like director johnfavreau, who you know he was
like in swingers, you know he'sin some friends stuff and he did
elf so this is our second johnfavreau movie and they just
created this whole thingthemselves, that with Feige,

(13:28):
kevin Feige, the producer.
But it's kind of weird how, justlike these two these two guys
nobody was really talking aboutat the time just kind of created
, you know, one of the biggest,you know, franchises in the
history of the planet.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
I can't wait for the Iron man Oscar.
The Grouch team up, oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
Robert Downey Jr is like I'm a man in a can.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
Oscar comes up me too , but I'm angry all the damn
time.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Yeah, he's got a dark night voice and it'd just be
great because I get to see TonyStark just sipping some coffee
or something, throwing it in thetrash can and Oscar's like I'll
be back for you.
Coffee or something thrown inthe trash can and oscar's like
I'll be back for you.
Um, so director john favreauwanted robert downey jr because
he felt the actor's past wasright for the part he commented.
The best and worst moments ofrobert's life have been in the

(14:15):
public eye.
He had to find an inner balanceto overcome obstacles that went
went far beyond his career.
That's tony stark.
Robert brings a depth that goesbeyond a comic book character
having trouble in high school orcan't get the girl.
Bavaro also felt downey couldmake stark a likable asshole,
also depict an authenticemotional journey once he won
the audience completely correct.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
It is a like a cool redemption story.
Yeah, yeah, it's great.
He kind of takes matters intohis own hands, yes, and doesn't
like go out and advertise.
You know, he doesn't like starta, uh, non-profit or whatever
like uh and embezzle the fundsyeah let's make an iron man suit
.
That'd be kind of cool if itwas kind of crowd-sourced.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
Iron man suit, be fun like people like hey here, take
some of this.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
Yeah, like here, take my money and just put like, put
my name on your arm.
Oh yeah, so like sponsor deals.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
Got Pennzoil on the right arm, dude wipes on the
left, yeah.
No on the crotch, That'd be thebest.
Be like Go Daddy on the frontof the chest.
Hell yeah, man Then.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
Disney Plus right on the face mask.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
That'd be amazing.
Yeah, I'd enjoy that.
That'd be great.
That wouldn't be likeeverything that's wrong with the
world.
It's like, get ready, iron manis a NASCAR driver now,
essentially.
So just two more facts.
So Jeff Bridges said he feltreally uncomfortable not having
a script or rehearsals, sincenormally he felt very prepared

(15:48):
and knows his lines word forword, realizing it wasn't like
he was in a 200 million dollar.
Realizing it was like he was ina 200 million dollar student
film, he said, took the pressureoff him and made it fun.
That's cool.
He looks so huge.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
Yeah, dude, do you think he had to wear like
implants?

Speaker 1 (16:04):
I think it's because he had no hair.
Yeah, so he just makes you lookbigger.
His hair does add a lot.
I'm sure he probably worked outa little bit.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
He kind of looks like Mr Big, like from the Flash,
not the Flash, daredevil,daredevil.
What was that guy's name?
The big?

Speaker 1 (16:19):
dude, kingpin, kingpin.
Yeah, that's a men in black,villain, vincent D'Onofrio.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh.
And so one last thing.
So just before the final pressconference, tony Stark is
reading the newspaper paper witha grainy, amateur photograph of
Iron man on the cover.
The picture is actually part ofa video shot by onlookers

(16:42):
hiding in the bush duringinitial filming that appeared on
the internet in 2007.
That's cool.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
What a fucking dope ass move I also like the in the,
the scene where he's puttinghis new when he gets back from
the cave and he's building hisnew chest magnet.
Hell yeah, and like you see,I'm putting it in but it's like
from a grainy, kind of likeshitty point of view, instead of
like this whole sequence.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
Oh yeah, because it's like the CTV's camera that the
like Afghanisans have.
Yeah, like in the cave, yeah,yeah, it's just like really
they're just doing stuff thatlike people would do in like
action movies in the 2000s.
You know, and it can reallyfeel it and it makes you kind of
nostalgia for all those likevery mediocre action movies that

(17:30):
like we didn't appreciatebecause, I don't know, they're
like better than most actionmovies that come out now and
it's like, oh cool, there wasn'ta billion CGI and even this
movie has like pretty decent CGI.
There's some parts with firethat it struggles with,
especially in that cave scene.
I'm like yikes, yay, yay, yay.
Oh.

(17:50):
One last fact so TerrenceHoward plays Rhodey War Machine.
He does not appear in the nextfilm because he wanted too much
money.
He said I'm the bankable starhere.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
He had like hustle and flow.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
He's like he's kind of in a lot of big movies around
this time and they were likebuh-bye, we're gonna get don
cheadle, so it comes back in thethird one.
He's very cowed it would begreat if he came back as like a
villain for like a like avendors movie.
It's like everybody's like wait, who are you?
I'm in a different alternateuniverse.

(18:24):
Blah, and Leslie Bibb plays the.
It's like the reporter yeah,she's in the newest she's in the
newest season of White Lotusand she's great in it.
She's married to Sam Rockwell,he's also in White Lotus season
3, but is also a villain in Ironman 2.

(18:46):
So just kind of a lot of likeVillains Putting things together
here you know, villains, getall the girls.
Yeah, villains always win.
The villains win baby, as GreenDay said, nice guys, finish
last Wait.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
What is that?

Speaker 1 (19:03):
because they allow the other person to finish first
, because they're not selfish ohso maybe villains not so
villainous after all to goopypajamas, yikes, wish I didn't
say that that's weird oh, whydidn't they have?

Speaker 2 (19:18):
why don't they have a girl?
Why didn't pepper become ironmaiden, be fucking sick.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
That's a way better name, but she did become.
She became an Iron Woman, likeshe gets a suit in Avengers
Endgame, remember, yeah, or whatdo they call?

Speaker 2 (19:33):
her.
I can't remember, was it a pinksuit?

Speaker 1 (19:37):
no, it's like a.
What's her name?
Rescue?
Her name is Rescue.
Oh lame, it's a blue and goldsuit.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
Yeah, that's what I thought, but I thought War
Machine was the blue, but he'skind of just steel he's gray.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
He's grayish like gunmetal pretty cool and he's
got a hell of a lot more bigweapons on him.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
they should have given Rescue a guitar and said
your new name is Iron Maiden.
We don't give a fuck about whatthe comic books say.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah, that would be rad.
She's just like, and she haslike a miniature version of,
like, the little guy that playsguitar in the Fury Road movie.
Yeah, so when she's runningaround, the guy's like That'd be
pretty sick, I'd be down forthat.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
Yeah, she's gonna be super goth with spikes
everywhere.
Yeah, hell yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
So I'm trying to think.
So let's say phase one right.
Phase one was Iron man, ironman 2, the first Thor, captain
America, the first Avenger andAvengers.
So I guess you said like yourAvengers was like your favorite.
So out of the four movies likeIron man, iron man 2, thor and

(20:48):
Dingback Captain America movie,which one's your favorite?
Out of those?
Probably the first.

Speaker 2 (20:53):
Iron man Same yeah.
Actually, I did enjoy the otherones.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
I thought I think they it really could have.
Oh wait, you also have thefirst hulk movie.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
I forgot the forgotten and the incredible
hulk.
Is that the one with edwardnorton?
Edward, norton.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
Yeah, yeah, that one was badass.
I love that one.
That one is straight up like ajust a damn mediocre action
movie and I love it.
It it's so good.
It's funny because that one'slike always considered one of
the worst ones, and I actuallykind of love that movie.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
Yeah, I do too.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
I mean the Hulk kind of looks like a little silly.
They haven't got like the.
Oh, we just put Edward Norton'sface on Hulk, like they did
with Mark Ruffalo.
yet but there's something that'sI really love, that Incredible
Hulk it's actually.
It probably for me goes Ironman, incredible Hulk, incredible
Norton.
And then you know, I'm like oneof the everybody kind of loves

(21:50):
the first Avenger, like CaptainAmerica, the first Avenger.
I kind of think it's like a wetblanket for me.
There's some parts in it that Ilove, but for the most part I'm
just like get this fucking BoyScout out of my face dude
fucking dweeb, I thought it was.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
I did like the parts where he was the little scrawny
kid before he became.
Yeah, he looked so fucking bad.
He's so fat, yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
I don't know that was actually directed by the guy
that directed Rocketeer nice.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
You know that movie I saw it as a child.
Yeah, I watched a lot as a kid.
I don't remember anything aboutit, except they had a jetpack.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
Yeah, that's about it .
And uh, that thor movie, uh,it's got some funny parts, but
man, it's just, it's juststraight down the line and this
is the most mediocre movie I'veever seen.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
This got my girl yeah , which one?

Speaker 1 (22:37):
ali portman, yes, yeah, she's great, she's awesome
.
Uh, and the first Avengersstill holds up.
Really love that movie.
It's fun to watch it sometimes.
Oh yeah, it's so fucking cool.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
Loki's great in it you know, the action all holds
up, vin Diesel.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
I am Groot.
Oh wait, no, Not yet.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
The first Avengers.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
It's like Loki's the bad, not um Guardians, yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:59):
I get those mixed up.
Did you mean to say Guardianswas like your?
Favorite of those moviesGuardians yeah, guardians are my
favorite too.
That's my favorite.
That's what I meant.
They're the best they let a.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
They let a director be himself and he made three
perfect movies.
So listen up, marvel.
You can't fucking do anythingright anymore.
Boring ass movies you keepmaking.
Just give it a break rethinksomething they can't they're
trying.
They're trying to rethink, butthey have to just keep producing
shit, yeah they're like waitnobody cares for our TV shows.

(23:29):
Uh oh, what do we do?
And then all our movies aregetting bad reviews because
people are like where are yougoing with all this?
And they're like yikes, wedon't know, we don't know.
I don't know.
Guardians 3 and Love andThunder.
I enjoyed it.
Guardians 3 is like the bestmovie they made since Endgame
Guardians 3?
.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
Yeah, that's where.
That's where the raccoon's inthe.
When he go back to his origin,he gets put in prison.
Yeah, yeah, that was fucked up.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
It was cool, though.
Made me cry hard.
Oh those animals, honestly hard.
Oh those animals, honestly, allthree make me cry hard.
Fucking rocky, like picks up atwig, I'm like.
Or when they're all holdinghands in the circle and then
like the mom comes up and it'slike, because everybody says
piter, it's funny, I was likestart to cry it's like

(24:16):
friendship, fucking friendship,save the galaxy it was hard,
like when he saw his mom die andhe walked out of the room he
was too afraid.
It's great.
Well, hey, you know that's ourMarvel talk.
We really haven't done it, kindof just want to eventually do
like a special ranking episodeof all the Marvel movies like me
, you like Dakota, maybe likeone of our other friends doing

(24:38):
it, it'll be, fun be a reallylong podcast, a lot of yelling,
because I have a feeling I likethe movies that some people
don't like.
I have them higher up in myrankings than some people do.
Nice, all right, you want toget into the plot of I Am Iron
man?
I, literally I cannot think ofthe song whatsoever because it's

(24:59):
all vibrated out of me frommowing, all right.
So Iron man 2008, directed byJon.
Think of the song whatsoeverbecause it's all vibrated out of
me from mowing, all right.
So iron man 2008 directed byjohn favreau, starring robert
downey jr.
So the film starts we have amilitary convoy back in blacks
playing hell yeah, love the oldmusic in it.
Tony is drinking and ends upmaking the military nervous.
And then they like, startsmaking jokes, relaxes, relaxes

(25:22):
him, hits on the driver, who's agirl, uh, then takes a picture
with him and just like how areyou?
yeah, that's like immediatelyhow you should know.
Oh, we're in good hands here,no gangstas, nah, just go ahead
and do it.
But then, boom giant, they'relike they're just all attacked
by some rockets, tony's blown upby his own weapons and then

(25:43):
he's kidnapped.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Yeah, that sucked seeing his name on it before he
gets exploded.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
He's like what I didn't know, oh no, what have?

Speaker 2 (25:50):
I done.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
It's okay if my weapons kill people that aren't
Americans.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
Do you think that travel they only have three
vehicles right, three or foursomething like that.
I feel like if you're, if yougot a billionaire with you and
you're in enemy territory,you're gonna get shaken down.
Yeah, there, there'd be a lotmore people with them.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
Yeah, he wouldn't just be like one person and then
like a few, a few othercompanies.
You need something big.
Yeah, it'd be like there'll behelicopters in the air.
He'd probably be flying.
He wouldn't be driving in themiddle of the desert in like a
war-torn country, yeah.
So then we cut to, kind of likea a narration of robert downey
jr.
Uh, not robert downey jr, tonystark.

(26:30):
We learned that he's a playboyand genius.
His name's tony stark.
He has inherited the defensecontract stark industries from
his father, the legendary howardstark.
Uh, tony was a brilliant fromthe beginning and built his
first circuit board when he wasjust four years old.
His first engine at the age ofsix.
Graduated from MIT at 17.
We learned that his father diedin a car accident.

(26:52):
Soon thereafter, obadiah Standope ass name, took over the
company till Tony returned totake over at the age of 21.
Accompanied, till Tony returnedto take over at the age of 21.
Tony has subsequently unleashedan array of smart weapons that
have changed the face ofconflict forever.
And so, yeah, he's a boy genius, essentially A Wunderkin.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
It'd be really funny if, during this little part
where they're showing picturesof him as a child, putting
together computers but he alsophotoshopped giving bill gates a
wedgie, or like, yeah, duncanlike giving jeff bezos a swirly.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
I just assumed jeff bezos been bald since he was a
baby, so just like doesn'treally affect him as much as it
usually does.
Give it up a noogie, yeah withno hair oh it's just like sorry
for all our people out there.
That was rude.
So, uh, tony wins an award.
He doesn't show up because he'sgambling, though, and hitting

(27:50):
on ladies.
Um, and then suddenly, as he'sleaving the thing, this is also
where we first meet roadie.
We see sebastian stan for thefirst time.
Um, roadie's like dude, whatthe fuck?
Show up next time, and he'slike making him uncomfortable
because he's like come on partywith me, gamble or whatever, and
ask him to blow on his dice.
He doesn't he lets him fly, yeah, and then it's like two ones,

(28:12):
which I guess is bad right, yeahdo you want a?

Speaker 2 (28:14):
seven, I don't know well, you do, but if you do it,
five.
I think there's a rule where,like if you roll too many sevens
in a row, you have to do asnake eyes to keep going.
I don't know I don't gamble.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
Gambling doesn't make sense to me.
Cards make sense, not dice.
And then all of a sudden he's ajournalist.
Christine Everhart, played byLeslie Bidd, confronts Tony in

(28:47):
Vegas and presents evidence thathis company is selling weapons
to terrorists and are being usedto subjugate native defenseless
populations across the globe.
And then he essentially sweettalks her and says ah, no
comments whatever.
And Tony has sex with Christine.
Yeah, they fall over on the bedand it's kind of funny.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
Yeah, and then you get the fun scene in the morning
when Pepper Potts comes inWalking around like his windows,
have like constantly have likeholographic hologram screens
essentially yeah, it's like whatpeople see is future tech,
which is just annoying to me.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
I'm like I don't want to look at that on my window.
Just like get rid of it.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
I'm cool with a voice talking.
Have you seen the floors thatlook like you're on a beach?
Uh-uh, like they're like Whoa.
Yeah, I guess they're likeglass or something and then they
project it looks like you'rewalking on a beach or something.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
Oh, that's cool.
Yeah, I'd like that one time.
So then Christine meets PepperPotts.
It's Tony's personal assistantand they run into each other.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
It's awkward she's like I do whatever he requires,
including take out the trash.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
Get out of here, bitch it's like it's a bit rude,
oh, because she's kind of beinglike rude to Pepper a little
bit kind of sucks that they madeher character, the reporter
character, kind of like rude andscummy and it's just like I
don't know.
I guess that's just how theyview reporters, those 2000s.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
Reporters will do anything and get a story, but
now we're all like we fuckingneed reporters to do their job
Any good one, any good one.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
And we also were hearing Jarvis for the first
time, which played by PaulBettany, who will soon be seen
as that fucking robot guy.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
I don't remember his name With the cape.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
Yeah, oh, can't remember his name off the top of
my head.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah .
I can't even remember his name.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
Bitchin' fuck what's his name?
Name I gotta do.
He looks like.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
Megamind yeah oh, bettany something like Stoney.
Vision Blaze Vision that's whatit is cool gonna have to edit
around that, uh.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
But he starts personal AI system.
Uh, Pepper goes down to seeTony.
Who who's like doing buildingthe motor or whatever.
Pepper's trying to hurry himoff.
We see that it's her B-day, herbirthday.
He's like did you give me, didI get you anything?
He's like yes, it was verytasteful.
Oh, thank you, Because she justlike uses money to get herself
something which is great, Veryfunny.

(31:23):
You can already tell there's alittle bit of chemistry between
them, and so he's got to go off.
This is essentially going to betaking him to the Afghanistan
thing, yeah, to the beginning ofthe movie Tony and Happy.
Tony's like racing off andHappy's trying to like stay
behind him Jon Favreau'scharacter and he's like, hey,
you almost did pretty good, well, you beat me.
He's like, yep, I did.

(31:43):
Then Tony and his friend JamesRhodes Rhodey argue on the plane
because he's like you're neverearly, I waited for three hours.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah andthen they start partying I

(32:06):
guess all the flight attendants.
There's a stripper pole in themiddle of the plane.
They're all just like tied theiruh flight attendants shirts up
and like they're just dancing infront of them.
Tony's watching while roadiesis like he's drunk.
Drunk, yeah, it's great, so fun.
So now tony is in a war tornafghanistan with his friend and
military liaison, james rhodes,to demonstrate the new jericho
missile.
Great, great name.
Rhodes and Tony are very goodfriends.
We see, I don't know why I'msaying all this, even though we
just explained it.

(32:26):
I went straight for my notes.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
How did they become?
Did they work together?
A lot selling stuff to themilitary, I guess.
So he's like his militarycontact.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
Something.
I wish I read the comics so Icould explain, but I have no
idea.
So we learned the Jerichomissile incorporates the new
repulsor technology and candeliver explosive payloads and
multiple targets with a singlemissile over a badass missile,
relatively large combat areaarea.
Yeah, it's great.
And this is where we get theline.
They say that the best weaponis the one you never have to
fire.

(32:54):
I respectfully disagree.
I prefer the weapon you onlyhave to fire once.
That's how dad did it, that'show america does it and it
worked out pretty well so far.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, he delivers the hell outof that line yeah, yeah.
And the missile is great becauseit just like yeah it's like a
thousand targets and like shootsa bunch more and it's like and
then he stands with his armsopen.

(33:15):
The wind was awesome it's great,great, yeah, the little machine
that pours a drink, yeah andthen we're cutting to the
beginning of the movie, wherestark is critically wounded in
an ambush.
Um, this is where he noticesthat his weapons were being used
and he's imprisoned in a caveby a terrorist group called the
tin rings bum, bum, bum.

(33:37):
Don't know what the fuck theyare.
No, they're just this groupTerrorists.
And by using electromagneticlike little thing in his chest,
powered by a heavy car batterybuilt by fellow captive Jensen.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
Who is a fucking hero in this movie?
Yeah, this guy's great.

Speaker 1 (33:55):
I kind of love him.
He's like a nice wisdom guy inthe middle of the movie Keeps
the shrapnel that wounded Starkfrom reaching his heart and
killing him.
So like whenever he gotexploded like you just see, like
his shirt like filling up withblood, yeah, which is really
hella cool.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
I guess because of the shrapnel from the missile.
Yeah, it gets inside your bodyand stays there.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
Yeah, god damn, and I love when he wakes up he like
pulls that tube out of his nose.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
It's like really far in there.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
I'm like is that how far it's supposed to go?
I feel like it's far enough.
It gags you when it pulls you.
I can't talk about gagging again.
We did that in that one episode, I don't even remember it.
So yeah, tony sees Jensenshaving the Ten Rings leader
Raza, I think is how he says ithas like one of his cronies,

(34:42):
like, essentially, go in andoffer Stark freedom in exchange
for building a Jericho missilefor the group.
But Tony and Yinsen agree.
Raza will not keep his word.
Yinsen tells Tony that hisweapon in the hands of
terrorists is a legacy, is ishis legacy to the world.
Essentially, just like layingit on thick, that like, hey, bro

(35:04):
, bro, you know you shouldprobably do better because
you're just known for death,death, it's great.
Which, apparently, uh, later onwe figure out that, uh, his
father helped build the nuke,the first nuke, oh shit.
And it's funny that robertdowney jr won his first oscar
for opp.
Oh damn Fun.
That's kind of cool.
It all comes around.
So Tony and Yen Sing use thecomponents from other missiles.

(35:28):
Does he play his?

Speaker 2 (35:30):
dad in Oppenheimer, it's Tony Stark's father.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
That's what I like to think the fictional character
he was secretly the whole timein his head.
I'm playing my father from Ironman.
Can't wait till.
My son is Iron man, yeah, butthey use components from other
missiles and extract palladium,precious metal, from it.
They use the limited forgefacilities available to them to
work meticulously.
Stark and Jensen secretly builda powerful electric generator

(35:58):
called an arc reactor, and welearned that Tony had a large
arc reactor back home poweringhis factory and he built a
miniaturized version of it topower Stark's electromagnetic
thing and hole in his chestessentially.
To keep the metal from his heart?
Yeah, instead of a bulkybattery.
And then begins to build a suitof armor.

(36:20):
Love just the fucking hole inhis chest it's so sick.
It's great.
I can't wait to get to thepepper pots.
Having to replace it again.
It's.
That's a good scene, um, andthen like the whole time that
they start building like the uharmor and stuff, like he's his
first iron man suit, it's fun towatch the bad guys trying to
figure out what he's doing, solike they're looking at the

(36:42):
missile and like what the fuckis he making?
This doesn't look like that atall.
Very good bit.
And then in the middle ofbuilding Raza I'm assuming I'm
saying it's R-A-Z-A.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
I'm just gonna say Raza.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
Raza pays him a visit and then he threatens to brand
Jensen, I guess, or just put thewhole spike through his face,
not sure.
But Stark is able to stop himfrom doing it.
But saying he needs him, razasays he has by the next day to
get the missile done.
It's like, hey, man, like havea little bit of patience.
I'm just like we're two peoplebuilding a missile out of other

(37:18):
missiles.
It's like give us a break.
So Tony gets to work, we getthe iconic hammer smashing on
the, which is like one of thelast thing you hear in end game,
because at the very end youjust hear the ding, ding, nice,
I didn't recognize that.
And then, like we all cry.
So now it's the next day andit's time to lock and load by

(37:38):
locking your body in an Iron mansuit.
In an iron coffin.
Yeah, um, so the suit's verybasic design.

Speaker 2 (37:46):
It's super heavy that must have been there.

Speaker 1 (37:48):
I mean not in the cave, because that was probably
like how much money would youlike give to like be in one of
these suits?
Just I don't know, but I meanI'd be like you can have my
house if I can just like playwith it.

Speaker 2 (37:59):
Yeah, man, I'll just use a bunch of banks.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
Yeah, use it to find ways to get money.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
Crush the United States government or your boot.

Speaker 1 (38:10):
Yeah, and I just love how like DIY this suit looks,
even with its weapons, becauseit's got like a flamethrower
that, like this, is constantlyon, like right next to his hand,
like don't watch out out, somerocket thusters at the base of,
like his feet, which is great,and like when it goes off, it's
just like has no control overanything, and with the arc

(38:34):
reactor the shoot can be poweredfor 15 minutes.
So then we have it where the 10like they're suiting them up
and the 10 rings are starting tocome through the door.
They got it rigged with a bomband whenever they push it open,
it explodes and Jensensacrifices himself to divert
them, while Stark's suit powersup because they got it like

(38:55):
connected.
It's got a power up through thelaptop, I guess.

Speaker 2 (38:59):
I don't know the technology it's like damn it.

Speaker 1 (39:02):
I got four hours of updates just connected to the
wi-fi.
Yeah, it's like.
Anytime I, for whatever reason,I, turn on my ps3, it's like,
bro, you're behind, just wait,wait, give me a minute.
Yeah, um, but yeah, so heessentially dies.
Uh, it sucks.
The armored Stark battles hisway out of the cave to find

(39:22):
dying Jensen, who gives him theessentially the line that
changes Tony Stark's life Don'twaste your life.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
It's great.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
Then, enraged Stark, burns the terrorist munitions
and flies away out of a hugeexplosion which fucking rules,
only to crash in the desertdestroying the suit.
It's such a good scene.
Yeah, it was awesome.
It's great.
It's just like it's becauseit's so bulky and just like
barbaric looking.
It's perfect and it kind oflooks goofy, which is what I

(39:56):
like about it too.

Speaker 2 (39:57):
Hell yeah, because the big old head and it's not
even covering all of his bodyparts.

Speaker 1 (40:03):
Really, it's only just the front, which ends up
being a problem for Obadiah Stanlater in the movie, which is
great, all right.
So Stark is now wanderingthrough the desert.
Then, conveniently, is found byRhodes.
Uh, rhodey and all them.

Speaker 2 (40:21):
It's like okay, cool, well maybe honestly, if you
just waited a few minutes, theymight have found you.

Speaker 1 (40:28):
It's like have you just been walking for like a
month.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
They just got there and they see him flying away.
Fuck, let's go get him.
Let's get him sheesh they seehim flying away.

Speaker 1 (40:37):
Fuck, let's go get him.
Let's get him, sheesh.
So, after being rescued byRhodes, stark returns home,
greeted by Happy and Pepper andasked for a cheeseburger and to
have a press conference, that'sthe first thing I would ask.
No, I want a cheeseburger not apress conference.

Speaker 2 (40:50):
I want to be like.

Speaker 1 (40:51):
I want to sleep yeah, In a bed, for I want to sleep
in a bed For real, it's like.
Also, is there any sort ofsurgery I can have to get the
shrapnel out of me?
Yeah have you seen this hugehole in my chest?
Since you know like we havesuper smart doctors here, I feel
like somebody can fix this.

Speaker 2 (41:04):
I feel like he probably did better than anybody
.

Speaker 1 (41:07):
Yeah for real, I don't know.
And I love the little likeinteraction Tony and Pepper have
.
They're very sweet together.
Because he's like, she's kindof like he says something and
like her eyes are red and it'slike oh, what'd you?
I don't know some little cleverline that I didn't put down,
but he's like, it's like oh, youdidn't quit, did you?
He's like no, it's impossibleto find a job or something like

(41:32):
that.
Then Phil Coulson approachesPepper to debrief Tony on how he
escaped.
She's like just shoo, shoo, getthe fuck out of here.
And then Tony begins to pressconference on the floor.
It's great, he's like everybodyelse on the floor too.
Let's make it low key.
It's great, everybody gettogether.
He's eating a cheeseburger init and where he then brings up
how he never got to say goodbyeto his father, it's like oh shit

(41:54):
, now we're bringing emotions in.
How did he die uh car crash.
His father died in a car crash,but we'll see later in the
movies, it was something else.
Yeah, it was a spoiler, spoiler, spoiler, the winter soldier no
shit.
Yeah, it's a civil war.
It's all about that.
That's where, that's why theystart fighting each other yeah,

(42:16):
so he announces that his companywill no longer longer
manufacture weapons.
Oh, but uh stan, his father'sold partner and company he's
like yo advises stark that thismay ruin stark industries and
his father father's legacy.
And I love that because youknow he gets on up on the
stadium podium he's like, oh,we'll talk to you guys later,

(42:37):
we're gonna go have a privatemeeting and then we cut to him
on a segway.
So this is giant bald guy justlike on a segway.
Just you can't look cool on asegway.
If Paul Blart, the mall cop,has told me anything nobody
looks cool on a segway ride.
You can barely outrun achihuahua the first five minutes
of paul blart mock-up has oneof the best jokes.

(42:59):
It's whenever he's just likehe's going to work and he's on
his segway and he's like goingand there's this tiny chihuahua
barking at him.
Then he turns around he's like,oh god, it's so funny.
The rest of the movie I Ibarely remember at all, but I
will always remember the firstfive minutes I remember that,
and I remember the parts wherethe people come in Parkour guys.

Speaker 2 (43:21):
Yeah the parkour robbers Such a movie of its time
.
Extreme sports.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
It will forever make me think of that movie every
time I see a Segway.
So Tony reveals to Stan that hehas built a new miniaturized
arc reactor.
The reactor has the power toprovide clean energy to the
entire planet.

Speaker 2 (43:42):
So did he build the first one, or was that a dad
that built the first one?

Speaker 1 (43:46):
That was him and Stan .
They're just like.
It was kind of like a publicitystunt, they said essentially,
and the fact that he was able tobuild that in his chest, stan's
like, or Obadiah, whatever he'slike, oh well, all right, let's
get some time.
We're going to have to figureout how to slow roll this and
tell it to the press andeverything.
And he seems like he's on board.
You know, like you know, he'salso a good guy.

(44:08):
I definitely don't think he'llend up being the bad guy.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
I guess he kind of took over the father figure role
for Tony.

Speaker 1 (44:15):
Yeah, because he took over the business until Tony
was fit to run it.
Right, right, right yeah.
So then we cut to Tony.
In his workshop, tony has builta better arc reactor and Pepper
needs to help him replace it.

Speaker 2 (44:32):
It's kind of an insane thing to watch in a
Marvel movie, right, yeah, likethe inside of it looks like it's
just an empty metal, can?

Speaker 1 (44:39):
Yeah, it just looks like a little well in the middle
of his chest.

Speaker 2 (44:41):
You know, there's all kinds of that goopy stuff in
there.
No pun intended.

Speaker 1 (44:46):
I guess it has to be something that contains the
magnet that was in there, so itwouldn't be electrocuting him
the whole time.
I love it because she puts herhand in it and it's just like oh
, it's gooey, there's pus.
It's like it's not pus, it'sgoop.
Or she like pulls it out, likethat's where she got the goop
idea.
Yes, it's like oh, there's,it's goopy in here.

Speaker 2 (45:05):
It's like, oh, just like having like smell flashes
of her like vagina all over theplace like what if I lit my
vagina on fire?
Wait vagina candles, do youthink?
I know, I'd like to think thatshe was looking at it in the
mirror and she's like everybodyneeds to have this yeah,
everyone needs my vagina intheir house.

Speaker 1 (45:26):
Sorry, gwyneth, it was just a fucking crazy thing
that you did.
You're such a great actress,why did you make me?
I don't know, man, I'minterested yeah, just spend like
$500 and you can have it.
Um, really, but yeah, I don'tknow.
I'm assuming because it's heran actress with, like these, you
know, pseudoscience, shit thatit's gonna be very expensive.

(45:48):
Um, but I do love it where she'slike alright, you see that that
little like wire, pull it out.
And he's like and then she'slike just keep pulling, don't
pull out the magnet Magnet comesout.
It's like ah, um, but shesuccessfully helps them and puts
it in and uh, it's a very cutething, Uh, and yeah, he says
that uh, thanks, Like thankspepper, and says I don't he

(46:09):
could have gone to a hospital.
Yeah, you know.
I guess he wants it to all besecretive.
He doesn't want anybody else tobe a part of this, I guess right
now nobody knows he has alittle circle thing in his chest
, except for Stan and Gwyneth orPepper.

Speaker 2 (46:25):
Sorry, so do you think they had to take him out
of his?

Speaker 1 (46:29):
breastbone, I guess.
So they would have had to.
Yeah, I guess they just drilleda damn hole in it.

Speaker 2 (46:36):
It's one of those drills where you know it has the
bit that's like a huge circle.

Speaker 1 (46:40):
I used to love using those as a kid.
Can?

Speaker 2 (46:41):
you imagine there's all the stuff coming out, or
like when you pull it out and itcomes with like a perfectly
cylindrical shaped lump of flesh.

Speaker 1 (46:49):
It just like to me.
It feels like you can't likeever bend.
The way I'm sitting in my chair, bending over slyly has to just
be extremely painful.
So in his homework shop, starkstarts work on an improved

(47:14):
version of his suit called MarkII that he is keeping secret.
I love it.
I don't love it because hepulls up the hologram of this
thing and he's got a trash can ahologram trash can next to it.
He just keeps pushing it,throwing it down.
I'm like who would want this?
It'd be cool for a second.
And then I'd just be like, justgive me a fucking computer,
okay, yeah, I love how he theworld's most advanced weapon in

(47:39):
like 30 seconds.
Yeah, he says, oh, take thisout, take this out.
Oh, now it's perfect currentgold, yeah, all day.
And then, uh, we see razarfinding his first version of the
suit in the desert.
Um, tony begins work where hisrobots are constantly messing up
and helping him.

Speaker 2 (47:50):
I love the like little puppy dog robots.
Essentially I.

Speaker 1 (47:53):
I love it.
No, you idiot.
And then Tony gets like theseprototype boots on and Tony,
like tests trying to fly, burnshis cars there's too much thrust
and it just like fires themback and then his robot just
like extinguishes him so great.
And then Stan visits Tony andtells him the board wants to

(48:14):
block him out of the company.
And he's like Tony gets allpissed and Stan wants the specs
of the arc reactor, but Tonydoesn't want to give him any of
the info.
He's like you know what I'm outof here?
And then Obadiah is like giveme that pizza, then take two
slices.
It's a little funny bit.
It adds to their character thatare friendly.

Speaker 2 (48:36):
But yeah, we know what's going to happen.
A lot of the humor is verycharacter building and useful.

Speaker 1 (48:43):
And it's like that little pizza bit's like oh,
obviously this is like youruncle type of relationship here,
Uncle Obi, you can tell thatthey really know each other to
that point where they're goingto have this fight and still
just be like we're making aslight joke at the end here.

Speaker 2 (48:58):
Really ties the room together yeah.

Speaker 1 (49:00):
Pizza really ties the room together.
So Tony tests out the flyingagain and is successful, even
though he has a hard timecontrolling it, burning all of
his cars, oh yeah.
And then, like, he's able toland and the robots ready to
like fire a string or somethinghe's like don't.
And then he's like, oh, so good,so he is ready to take the suit

(49:20):
out for a drive in his all grayslim suit.
Now he flies out of his shop.
Jarvis is like don't you wantto test a little bit more?
He's like hey, it's better togo out for a run.
No it's not safe listen to yourfriend hey, this is what makes
Tony great.
He's good.
It makes him good and bad,which is something that the
later films realized were likehey, this is who Tony is.

(49:41):
He's like headstrong and justdoes shit without thinking about
it.
So he's able to fly around andbecause it's Tony, he wants to
fly as high as he can and heeventually freezes up and loses
control, but is able to breakthe ice and then gain control
again.
It's pretty dope.
He's falling.
He freezes up and loses control, but is able to break the ice
and then gain control again.
It's pretty dope Lying up inthe ice.
He's falling.
Yeah, he's like oh shit, jarvis, jarvis.
So how do you feel aboutwhenever he's like in a suit and

(50:03):
you know, like when it's hisface, like all these like things
pop up in his suit, like shows,like the Ferris wheel, and like
explains what it is?
I'd get this stuff out of myface.

Speaker 2 (50:13):
How am I supposed to concentrate?
That's a lot of info in yourface.
Yeah, I'm just like man, Justlike having your phone all the
time.

Speaker 1 (50:21):
I forgot that, like all the computer stuff, is kind
of annoying in these movies.

Speaker 2 (50:24):
Maybe he's got like ADHD, because sometimes that
just helps you concentrate.

Speaker 1 (50:29):
Yeah, I'm assuming Having a little distraction over
here.

Speaker 2 (50:31):
Because he's like.
He's like watching Minecraftvideos while someone else is
talking.

Speaker 1 (50:35):
Yeah, so that's me, Like I'm editing, playing a game
and watching YouTube.
So if you have any issues withthe edit of our podcast, I'm
sorry.
It's really.
It's how my brain works.

Speaker 2 (50:45):
It's how it all started.
I mean, that's the same year,like was it 2008 when iPhones
first came out, or is it 2007?
It's seven.

Speaker 1 (50:53):
I thought it was between 6 and 8.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
Yeah, and then, immediately when iPhones come
out, attention like ourattention becomes the most
valued commodity in the world.
Yeah, so I don't know.
That's kind of interesting.

Speaker 1 (51:09):
June 29th 2007,.
The first iPhone, nice, andthey looked dope.

Speaker 2 (51:17):
I'm shaking my head.

Speaker 1 (51:18):
I still have mine in a box.
I think Natalie used to have aniPhone 3.
I wonder if she still has it.
They're just kind of roundedbut bulky.

Speaker 2 (51:25):
Bricky.

Speaker 1 (51:27):
And then he's ending the flight and he says like kill
power over his house, and hejust falls straight through it
all and then his robot getsextinguished.
Yeah, Hell yeah.

Speaker 2 (51:38):
It'd be funny if there were a bunch of them.

Speaker 1 (51:42):
And then he cleans up .
He walks into his shop andPepperpot apparently has placed
the original reactor inside of asmall glass showcase that reads
Poof Tony has a heart Verysweet.
So then we see Rezar trying toreassemble Tony's Mark I suit.
So then we see Rosara trying toreassemble Tony's Mark I suit.
Tony then decides to paint hissuit and adds gold and red and

(52:03):
it looks rad as fuck Really.
Yeah, wish it was more yellow.
Yeah, I like the old comicswhere it's very yellow, but
that's just because I'm weird.
Then Tony on TV sees there's aparty wait, like Wolverine
yellow.
Yeah, it was like that, it waslike bright yellow, okay.
Yeah.
Tony sees there's a party onthe TV and decides to go because

(52:27):
it's his party technically.
When he gets there, philCoulson sees him and asks to
debrief him.
He says he will schedule thatat some point and also, like,
whenever first gets there,obadiah's there and he's like,
hey, what the fuck are you doinghere?

Speaker 2 (52:41):
you weren't invited.
You weren't supposed to be herelike I'm just stretching my
legs.

Speaker 1 (52:47):
Um, he sees pepper and goes to talk to her.
She's like all done up in this,like nice dress.
Um, he's definitely got thehots for her and it's cute we're
dancing, she's like do you evenknow your social security
number?

Speaker 2 (52:58):
Yeah right, seven, seven.

Speaker 1 (53:00):
And she's like, she's nervous.
And she's like I just realizedthat I'm dancing with my boss
and I'm not wearing deodorant inmy backless dress.
She's nervous that everybody'sgoing to judge them because the
way he is with girls she goes infor a kit or they kind of both
go in for a kiss but then theydon't boo.
Everybody should kiss if youlike each other, just kiss.

(53:22):
So then he goes to get her adrink because they both need
drinks now because, uh, you know, they tried to kiss each other.
Uh, then the reporter, chrischristine everhart, shows up and
informs him that StarkIndustries weapons, including
the Jericho, were recentlydelivered to the Ten Rings and

(53:43):
are being used to attackJensen's home village.
And if we know one thing, don'tfuck with Tony's best friend.

Speaker 2 (53:49):
Yeah, don't fuck with Jensen.
Yeah, that boy Got.

Speaker 1 (53:52):
Tony's heart.

Speaker 2 (53:54):
He really does have his heart, yeah, in a jar.

Speaker 1 (53:56):
And then we learn that Tony also learns that Stan
is trying to replace him as headof company.
He's like who do you thinkfucking introduced this to the
board?
And he's like I'm mad, I'mgoing to kill people in my suit.
So Stark dons his new armorthat automatically forms around
him, which is sick.

Speaker 2 (54:15):
Hell yeah, it's the best shit.

Speaker 1 (54:17):
So this I can put my notes I want to get here.
So do you like prefer this,where it's just kind of like
coming all around them and allthe robots putting it on there,
or do you prefer his likenanotechnology shit that they do
like in game and stuff?

Speaker 2 (54:32):
I mean that that part is cool.
I kind of like I like the.

Speaker 1 (54:35):
It's too like new, the little nanotech stuff, and I
feel like like, all right,we're getting hella silly at
least, yeah, at least having hislittle robot dressing room.
That's kind of realist, I meanit's on the verge of like
realism kind of like that couldpossibly I know they're just
trying to get to the point wherethey're like all right, how do

(54:57):
we make it where he doesn't?
He can just have the suitanywhere anytime, which I really
like the suitcase suit.
He had an iron man too.
That was kind of cool, um, butI don't know.
Nothing to me beats this wherehe's just standing in a room and
like robots are putting yeah, arobot suit on him.

Speaker 2 (55:11):
It was with the nanotech stuff, it's.
It's almost like he could justlike inject that into his body.

Speaker 1 (55:16):
Yeah, it's like just become an Iron.

Speaker 2 (55:19):
Man, it just bursts through his skin.

Speaker 1 (55:20):
Yeah, Like, ah, it's like at that point, just like,
just make it your clothes.
This is my skin now, but yeah,so he, um, he flies to
Afghanistan, where he savesYinsen village and delivers a
devastating blow to the TenRings.

Speaker 2 (55:35):
That's a badass scene .

Speaker 1 (55:36):
Yeah, he's got like the repulsor, like rays out of
his hands or whatever.
Yeah, the little missiles, andthen one out of his chest.
You got the like super accuratebullets where he's like beep,
beep, beep, beep, beep somethingout of a video game.
Smart bullets Shoots them allout, the tiny missile that
destroys the tank.

Speaker 2 (55:52):
That was like the shot of the movie back then it's
so funny, it's like pew.

Speaker 1 (55:57):
Yeah, it's the slow turnaround, the badass walk from
the explosion.

Speaker 2 (56:02):
That's when you're like we got a movie here.
You think Jars is in his head.
He's like okay, now turn aroundand walk that way.

Speaker 1 (56:06):
Don't worry, if there was a camera here, which
there's not, that would be socool.
It's just whispering sweetnothings of destruction in his
ear and, uh, something I thinkis funny he ends up that he sees
a jerry like three, likejericho missiles or whatever,
and he shoots them and they, Iguess, destroy the village he
just saved.
I know he's probably would befurther away, but those things

(56:30):
were huge explosions, like theydestroyed everything around it.
So did you just kill all thepeople you saved, man?
Yeah, I think so.
Um, whoops, you're welcome.
I wish the reporter came up tohim.
Did you see there was an ironman out there?
Just saved this village andthen destroyed it?
Any comments?
Also, do you want to have a sec?
Okay, so while flying home,stark is shot by two F-22.

Speaker 2 (56:53):
Raptor fighter jets.

Speaker 1 (56:56):
Yeah, they start chasing him.
He phones Rhodes and he's likeRhodes is like when you at?
What are you doing?
Is this you?
What's happening here?
He's like, oh, no, I'm drivingmy car.
Later he's like why are you outof breath?
Oh, I'm going for a run.
I thought you were driving.

Speaker 2 (57:11):
It's badass when the Jet fight scene because they hit
him with a missile.
It just kind of he gets hit sohard, like it really, because
this is the first time he's beenhit in the suit.
Yeah, and you're just like, andthey're shooting like the .50
cal machine guns at him.

Speaker 1 (57:27):
Yeah, and just bouncing off, and then he's like
trying to gain control and thenhe like he's just holding on to
the plane.
Yeah, so funny, very Top Gun,yeah.
And then the plane ends upcrashing into him or whatever,
and then a guy's falling andthen he has to like go and save
him and stuff.
And then Rhodes is like youcrazy son of a bitch.

Speaker 2 (57:48):
That plane was very expensive, sir.
Yeah, like you owe me one Aboutfive billion.
Yeah, he's like well, you know,I have unlimited money in these
movies, so whatever I'll getyou 20 I'll sell you one, yeah.

Speaker 1 (58:02):
so then he's like back in uh in his little
workshop, and then pepper comesdownstairs and sees tony uh
having the robots aggressivelytake off the or struggling to
take off his armor.
It's so good.
And then, like he turns to herlet's face it, this is not the
worst thing you caught me doingKind of like she's his mom Hell

(58:23):
yeah, that's like the funniestpart of the movie.
So then, meanwhile, the TenRings gather the pieces of
Stark's prototype suit and meetwith Stan, who subdues Raza and
has the rest of the groupeliminated.
Stan has a new oh, and thenStan ends up having a new suit,
reverse engineered from thewreckage.
But this is where we first seethat dope ass ear thing that he

(58:43):
has.
Yes, I want one.

Speaker 2 (58:46):
Just if I'm ever attacked.

Speaker 1 (58:47):
I'm like bing Hell, yeah, but like it gives you like
that, like your veins startgetting like red and popping out
of your face Black.
What is going on?
Pretty sick.
It's pretty sick Visual.

Speaker 2 (58:58):
Is it like messing with the nerves in his face,
something like that, I guess?
I guess this is like neurotoxin, something like that.

Speaker 1 (59:04):
Cool, it's like whatever like they used in.
Was it China?
Like those Sonic, like wavethings that they have where it
just like emits?

Speaker 2 (59:11):
it's a sound to disperse like they did against
the Hulk.

Speaker 1 (59:14):
Yeah, in Incredible Norton, yeah bro that's like the
best thing you've ever said.
That's a good bit.
That's a good bit.
So, uh, tony wants to get moreinfo on weapon drops so he can
destroy them.
So he needs Pepper to help him.
But she refuses because shedoesn't want to see him get
killed.
Um, this is where he's like Idon't have anything else.

(59:36):
And then pepper's like all Igot is you.
And then he's like well, fuck,all I got is you.
Or I said that earlier in thefilm let's get married.
It's like to not have a script.
They, uh, they kind of it'slike a good callback to like all
I have is you pepper, and thenshe's like all I have is you
tony, and it's like get married,um, it's sweet, yeah, um, but

(59:56):
yes, then she agrees.
So pepper takes the usb driveto stark's office.
She discovers tan stan has beensupplying the terrorists and
hired the 10 rings to kill stark.
But the group, the group didn'tdo it.
The goop, the goop.
They wanted to learn how tobuild their own jericho missiles
to cut out stan.
Then Stan comes in while she'sdownloading the data.

(01:00:17):
It's a great like littlenerve-wracking scene it's like.
It's like you don't really seeJeff Bridges as like an
intimidating figure, but theyreally did a good job in this
movie.

Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
Yeah, this way.
And then I think after this hewas a villain in a show about
like a Western show show and hewas really good in that one too
like he's just a good villainyeah, he's open, he's good in
other stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:00:38):
And then like people were like what if we just didn't
understand a word?
You said anymore, and then youdid trigger it.
He did yeah, yeah well, he'slike a good guy.

Speaker 2 (01:00:49):
Well, he's like an asshole, right but okay, yeah,
that's a different western, yeahthe one that I'm thinking of is
like there's a town that's fullof women because all their men
died in a mining accident, andhe's like the leader of a bandit
, a band of bandits or whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:01:05):
I'm going to have to look that up after that.
It sounds interesting.
It's pretty cool.
I love Jeff Bridges, yeah he'sthe best.
It's our boy, our king, thedude, but yeah, so he comes in.
While she's downloading thedata she's able to like hide,
the usb puts a screensaver onflying toasters.

Speaker 2 (01:01:20):
Yeah, he's up too far back, yeah he seems super
intimidating.

Speaker 1 (01:01:24):
Uh, he talks about how the real tony never came
back.
Um, she's successfully like, ohyeah, he'll be back, don't
worry, he's just a little tired.
But she successfully sneaks theusb drive out of the computer
and leaves.
But but then Stan sees that shedownloaded everything.
Oh no, oh no.
Then Potts, going downstairs,sees that Agent Coulson of the

(01:01:44):
Strategic Homeland Invention,enforcement and Logistics
Division Shield, acounterterrorism agency, to
inform him of Stan's activities.
Bum, bum, bum, she's got help.
We see that Stan's scientistscannot duplicate Stark's arc
reactor.
Oh, and this is where TonyStark was able to build this in

(01:02:06):
a cave with a box of scraps.
So scary, so scary, and I lovethat.
The guy he's talking to is thekid from Christmas Story.
Oh shit, really yeah, he's inthis movie or he's talking to is
the kid from Christmas Story.

Speaker 2 (01:02:20):
Oh shit, really.
Yeah, he's in this movie orhe's in the next one, which is
like the main character, yeah,the main character, kid, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:02:23):
He's like the guy that's like balding.
Yeah, he shows up in latermovies too.
That's fun.
I think he shows up inSpider-Man 2?
The second Spider-Man, I don'tknow.
He shows up in a couple ofmovies.
Wait, wasn't he also in theDark Knight?
No, that was Breakfast, theBreakfast Club.
Oh, okay, nerd guy, theBreakfast Club.

(01:02:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:02:48):
Any other people from our childhood?

Speaker 1 (01:02:50):
Superhero movies I might remember, I don't know.
So Stan, yes, so Stan ambushesStark at his home using the
sonic device to paralyze him andtake his arc reactor straight
out of his chest and then heleaves him to die.
But Stark manages to crawl tohis lab and plug in the original
reactor.
He almost doesn't make it, buthis robot doggy helps and it's

(01:03:11):
like good boy.
And I was like, am I going tocry Because we have a fucking
character arc for this robot guy.

Speaker 2 (01:03:21):
There should have been an after credits scene.
I think there is an aftercredits scene, but one with this
robot just doing goofy shit.

Speaker 1 (01:03:27):
Yeah, the after credits is the Nick Fury thing.
Oh yeah, rhodes shows up tohelp Tony Potts and several
SHIELD agents attempt to arrestStan, but he doesn't.
But he puts on his giant asssuit and attacks him.
He like hides behind somechains cause like he puts on a
suit, I guess and they break incause of the explosion of the

(01:03:49):
door and like Pepper's lookingaround, and then I'm just like
she's gonna look behind these.
I can't remember, does she lookbehind these chains?
and then he like, opens up andI'm like you couldn't find a
better hiding spot, your tinyass suit, and just hide behind
these chains.
But then Stark suits up andflies off Rhodes, then looks at
a new suit and says next timebaby.
Not for you, Terrence Howard,Not for you.

(01:04:12):
Stark fights Stan but isovermatched without his new
reactor to run his suit at fullcapacity because he starts to
fight with like 40 percent.
Oh, I thought it was like 70.
Something like that.
I don't know, but yeah, so thefight.
You see like Stan crawl outfrom underground, like when
Pepper's outside, like breakingthrough the concrete.
Fuck yeah, hella cool, it'slike the Hulkbuster, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:04:33):
It's essentially kind of leads to it yeah, hella cool
, it's like the Hulk Buster.
Yeah, it's essentially kind ofleads to it.

Speaker 1 (01:04:37):
Yeah, there's like the family in the car that
Stan's going to like use to likecrush Tony, but he catches it
and then, like he sets him down,they just run him over.
It's like what the fuck?
And then Stan uses a motorcycleto hit Tony.
That was pretty sick, that wasbadass.
And then Tony has an idea.
They're just like throwingpeople out of wheelchairs.

(01:05:03):
They use the chair as a weapon.
That would be like the scarymovie parody of it.
Tony has the bright idea tohave Stan follow him up as high
as possible to freeze up hissuit, and it works, oh yeah,
Because he's like how did youdeal with that problem?
Yeah, the freezing problem.
He's like what freezing problem?

Speaker 2 (01:05:20):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (01:05:21):
Falls and he thinks that Tony is one.
We see Tony's suit's runningout of power and he's like
falling and he's able to landjust at the last second.
But guess who's alive?

Speaker 2 (01:05:32):
Stan.

Speaker 1 (01:05:36):
Starts pulling wires out of Stan's suit.
See, like what we said earlierwhen he had live Stan Stark
starts pulling wires out ofStan's suit.
See, like what we said earlierwhen he had his suit.
It looks like there's a lot ofgaps, something that Tony
thought I'm doing a lot of handmovements over here.
I'm going to have to make thisa video podcast eventually.
And then Stark lures Stan atopof the Stark Industries building

(01:05:57):
and instructs Potts to overloadthe large arc reactor there,
which all successfully happens.
This and Tony's also up on theroof still and the arc reactor
is unleashed.
But luckily for Tony, it didn'tlike blow him up too bad, it
just shot him onto the roof andthen Stan falls in and there's a
giant explosion.

(01:06:17):
Yeah, it's great, and that'sthat's pretty much him dying.
Fuck, yeah, it's a pretty bigexplosion.

Speaker 2 (01:06:24):
That's a badass.
The action scenes in this movieare so fucking cool.

Speaker 1 (01:06:27):
Yeah, they're really cool, yeah, so then the next day
the press has dubbed thearmored hero Iron man Tony's
like.
Well, it's actually not reallymade out of iron, but it's a
cool name.
You mean, like the song that weall know?

Speaker 2 (01:06:41):
about.

Speaker 1 (01:06:41):
Yeah, agent Coulson gives Stark a cover story to
explain the events of the nightand Stan's death At a press
conference.
Stark begins giving the coverstory, but then is just like
fuck it, fuck it, I am Iron man.
I'm Iron man, I'm Iron.

Speaker 2 (01:06:57):
Man Cut to the song I'm Iron man.

Speaker 1 (01:07:01):
I don't know, I can't .

Speaker 2 (01:07:02):
I know so like I remember seeing this in the
theaters.
I was like where the fuck isthe song?

Speaker 1 (01:07:07):
And at the very end we're going to go through the
credits.

Speaker 2 (01:07:09):
It's perfect Perfect.
That is kind of cool, but it itwould have been kind of neat,
like maybe a little too on thenose, if they would have played
that intro part when he'sbusting out of the cave, just
like I am Iron man, but I guesshe really wasn't Iron man at
that point.

Speaker 1 (01:07:24):
He was just Tin Can man, tin man.
Oh, and then about like, afterlike five hours of credits, you
have the first ever Marvelpost-credits scene.
Shield director Nick Furyvisits Stark at home and, noting
that Iron man is not the onlysuperhero in the world, says he
wants to discuss the Avengersinitiative.
Cut to black, and that's Ironman.

(01:07:46):
We're going to run through ourcategories real quick.
The first one is the good, thebad, the ugly, the fine.
It's where we discuss the goodof the film, something we like,
the bad, something we didn't.
The ugly, something that didn'tage well.
The fine something that did agewell.
I think the good's pretty easy.
It's Robert Downey Jr andGwyneth Paltrow.
Hell yeah, this is two reallygood actors and Jeff Bridges

(01:08:09):
obviously.

Speaker 2 (01:08:11):
Yeah, hell yeah, good man, just the action.
The action sequences are sofucking cool, yeah, and like,
even like from from the verybeginning, it's just not kind of
non-stop, uh action going on,and it's, I'm here for it yeah,
yeah, this is fucking cool.

Speaker 1 (01:08:31):
So for my bad, I put the terrible score generic ass
metal music.

Speaker 2 (01:08:37):
Yeah, what was that song he was listening to in his
lab?
It was.

Speaker 1 (01:08:41):
That was just a guy yelling oh yeah, that was like
that's actually a punk rock punksong.
I actually know that it'sactually a pretty dope song,
that's cool but I just mean likethe, like the score of the
music is like I'm like dude,this is terrible.
They're like just trying notto'm like dude, this is terrible
.

Speaker 2 (01:08:55):
They're like just trying not to use the Iron man
song.

Speaker 1 (01:08:58):
Yeah, because you know they're trying to make it
like a classic rock type thing.
But I'm just like, all right,man, I don't know, just use some
fucking violin or something.
Oh, what do you?
Got for the bad?
The.

Speaker 2 (01:09:12):
I don't know.
I think making the I mean itwas kind of product of its time
to make terrorists the bad guysin the Middle East.

Speaker 1 (01:09:21):
Yeah, it made the most sense for, like what his
character is Selling weapons tothe government yeah, stuff like
that.

Speaker 2 (01:09:31):
So I guess that would kind of be more of an ugly
thing, but, like the, the factthat it's probably I really
don't know if there's a bad yeah, pretty solid because I enjoyed
it saw too long.

Speaker 1 (01:09:42):
Yeah sure, yeah, I just had the score that was it.
I was just like every time likean action scene would start, I'd
be like dude, just I'd ratherthere not be a score.
Um, for me the ugly.
I actually put third acts butbecause these movies always have
too long of a third act,essentially like the action, but
like it's not this movie, it'snot in this movie, it's like

(01:10:05):
everything after this movie,where the third act is like an
hour long fight scene and it'sjust like, yeah, you snooze in
until the Hulk comes out.

Speaker 2 (01:10:13):
Yeah, the end of it, Because you know, if they let
him go in the beginning of afight he's just going to end it.
Yeah, that's the Hulk's power,though.
The buildup to thetransformation.

Speaker 1 (01:10:24):
Yeah, it's great.
And then I also put studiostaking all the wrong things from
these films as in we only makethese type of big movies.
Now it's like, come on, dudeStudios, get the fuck together
now.

Speaker 2 (01:10:34):
It's like come on, dude studios.
I wish they would have gone bythis formula a little bit more,
yeah, but maybe it wouldn't havemade sense for other.
Just one marvel movie herewould have been.

Speaker 1 (01:10:43):
That's all we should have now.
Just don't do two or three,just one.
Let everybody go see it andthen let other movies they gotta
be made.

Speaker 2 (01:10:50):
Start exploring some of the characters no one really
knows about yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:10:54):
Then it's like, hey, you know what it turns out.
Y'all couldn't find ways to putthem in other movies.
So now we're just like we'rejust introducing characters and
you're like, but you'll maybenever see this character again,
by the way, because what likeShang-Chi was like three, four
years ago?
At this point it's like is hecome back like you do a sequel

(01:11:20):
at least with him?
Or something like come on, um,and for the fine I put tony
being the heart of these filmsand tony revealing his iron man.

Speaker 2 (01:11:26):
Yeah, um, I think, fine, I.
I I like how they use humor inthis one and not so much in the
newer ones, because in the newermarvel movies a lot of the
times especially Avengers, Ithink, is really the only one
Movies that I've seen do itmaybe Spider-Man, where it's
kind of like hey, isn't thissilly?

Speaker 1 (01:11:46):
everyone it's like hey, you know how we almost all
got a blibber Like we're aboutto all die in front of this guy.
Well, what if I made like fiveclips real quick?
Yeah, I enjoy it.
And the end of guardians ofgalaxy three, where he does his
dance off.

Speaker 2 (01:12:00):
That's a little different.
You know what this is.
I think a distraction.
Well, yeah, sorry, dakota, Iknow you hate it I think the
Avengers are a little different.
Yeah, Because they're justfunny as hell.
Anyway, yeah, and they'realways fun, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:12:16):
Yeah, the Guardians are all just like weird offbeat
characters.
Like they're just like the waythey are is just funny in
general.
Like the jokes are a part ofthose characters, versus like
why does Vision have 15 jokes inthis movie?
He's a is he really that funnyof a guy you think to hang out
with?
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:12:36):
Is he really that funny of a?

Speaker 1 (01:12:36):
guy you think to hang out with.
Yeah, so I can understand that.
It's like are we sure Hawkeyeshould be this funny?

Speaker 2 (01:12:42):
I never even heard of Hawkeye until that movie, until
Avengers Got him.

Speaker 1 (01:12:48):
All right, so we're going to hit our second category
, which is double feature.
It's a movie we recommendalongside this film, and I
picked another man in a canRoboCop RoboCop Because once you
get all this fun,family-friendly superhero-ness.

(01:13:08):
Let's get fucking gritty asshit and have people being
obliterated by guns.
Yes, and there's a lot of fucksin it.

Speaker 2 (01:13:17):
Yeah, I remember those watching those movies as a
kid.
They were violent.

Speaker 1 (01:13:20):
I can't believe how much I watched Robocop as a kid.

Speaker 2 (01:13:22):
I know like my parents should not have let me
watch that.

Speaker 1 (01:13:26):
No, really I only watched it like on, like, like
TNT and stuff like that, so Ididn't and I was like shit man,
they really fucked him up.

Speaker 2 (01:13:40):
Got that guy right in the penis, yeah.
So my double feature is a moviecalled a rampage.
It's just kind of like theopposite of Iron man.
Yeah, in an iron suit that hemakes, he welds a suit together
and then just goes out and killseveryone in town.

Speaker 1 (01:13:59):
I've never heard of.

Speaker 2 (01:14:00):
Rumpage.
It's very disturbing.

Speaker 1 (01:14:03):
I gotta open up my fucking laptop again.
I was expecting something.

Speaker 2 (01:14:09):
I've heard of it's like some squibbling little or
some sniveling little shit whobuilds a suit of steel and just
kills everyone in town to driveand robs a bank or something and
like I don't know oh, the 2009film.

Speaker 1 (01:14:23):
A young man just out of high school is a man with a
thirst for revenge, builds afull body armor from kevlar and
goes on a killing spree.
Yeah, you bowl.
Is this a movie?

Speaker 2 (01:14:36):
It's actually kind of fun.

Speaker 1 (01:14:39):
It's like his best rated movie.

Speaker 2 (01:14:40):
Yeah, it makes you feel bad, okay, but it's a good
watch.

Speaker 1 (01:14:44):
So yeah, if you guys want to feel bad, watch our
movies.
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:14:50):
Iron Boy.
Is this on Iron Incel?

Speaker 1 (01:14:55):
This makes me hella interested to watch the fact
that you just recommended a YuleBall movie.
I don't know who that is.
He just makes like really badmovies.
Nice, like he made what is itlike?
He used to make like all theselike really bad video game
movies, like shit, let me getthere, let me get there.

(01:15:16):
He did the movie Alone in theDark, too bad.
House of the dead blood rain,that video game, jesus those
were bad games.

Speaker 2 (01:15:25):
What?

Speaker 1 (01:15:25):
are they the name of the king?
A dungeon siege tale I rememberwatching that terrible far.
He did the far cry movie.
Never heard of it.
He was one of the like hismovies got, like would get
blasted so much that he he gotso tired of it and because he's
kind of an angry guy, he started.
He started like holding eventswhere like people, his critics

(01:15:45):
and stuff could box him.
Oh wow, guess what?

Speaker 2 (01:15:48):
he's a really good boxer oh no, so he would just
beat him the shit out of himwell out of it.

Speaker 1 (01:15:53):
Well, they agreed to do it.
I know, but he would just likeknock them senseless.
God damn, he was just like.
All right, you can fight me ifyou want.

Speaker 2 (01:16:02):
So basically, Rampage is about him.

Speaker 1 (01:16:04):
I think, yeah, it makes me really want to watch
the movies now that's crazy.
Oh well, that's Iron man baby,yay Next.
Well, that's Iron man baby Nextweek.
I think we should do a smalllittle film that inspired a very
popular comedic TV series.
