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 71: NIck Fury Agent of SHIELD (1998)

Agents of SHIELD Season 2 will be premiering soon so Larry and Bruce travel back in time to visit the first live action SHIELD movie, 1998’s Nick Fury Agent of SHIELD starring none other than the Hoff! 

David Hasselhoff and Lisa Rinna star in this made for TV movie that served as a failed pilot for a potential series.  High camp, a questionable plot by the villains, and cigars that get chewed as much as the scenery. 

This all leads to a discussion about the evolution of Marvel’s live action from the 70s to today in Episode 71 of the Media Montage Podcast!
