DTVC Extra 18, MCU Phase 2, "Iron Man 3" and "Thor: Dark World"

DTVC Podcast

Feb 16 2024 • 1 hr 21 mins

"DTVC Extra" are shorter solo episodes that I'll be posting on some weeks in addition to the main podcast. In this episode we're starting our look at the MCU Phase 2 with "Iron Man 3" and "Thor: Dark World." Before that, I talk a bit about the direction the DTVC Extra might go in now that we're doing weekly episodes with guests. I also get into the buzz--or non-buzz--surrounding "Madame Web." With "Iron Man 3," I look at why this was so successful, and how it measures up to the other two; and then with "Thor: Dark World," I try to make sense of the film, and make sense of how these Thor movies make so much money.
