Media Montage Podcast 133 - Captain America: Civil War (2016) & Marvel Comics: Civil War (2006)

Captain America vs Iron Man! The 13^th film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is here! Captain America: Civil War takes its story from the 2006 Marvel Comics crossover event and 7 issue miniseries.

Bruce and Larry contrast and compare that miniseries with the events of the film. Why are our heroes at odds? What brings these allies to the brink of war? They look at the causes of the conflict in both the comics and the film. 

Which medium tells a better story? Can you get a good movie with a cast featuring a dozen established heroes while introducing two new ones? How does Bruce REALLY feel about comics crossovers and events? What is a Stabbity Jones?

Find out the answers to those questions and more in Episode 133 of the Media Montage Podcast!

Media Montage Podcast 70: Operation Paperclip - Nazis in America

World War II ended and all the Nazis were brought to justice in the Nuremberg trials, following the war. Or were they? History is full of examples of escaped Nazis being captured long after the war was over.

What about the ones that were brought to America? By the Americans?

This week Bruce and Larry look at Operation: Paperclip and some of its cousins. US Intelligence operations that brought former Nazi scientists, and others, to work IN and FOR the US during the Cold War. We talk about characters like Werner Von Braun, Reinhard Gehlen and other Nazis who became key figures in post-war American history.

How and why did this happen, and how did the actions in the past affect the world of today? Find out in Episode 70 of the Media Montage Podcast!
