24: The Dr. No of the Marvel Franchise

Iron Man. Some movies spend years languishing in development hell and Iron Man was one of the longest. From 1990 to 2005 it bounced around from studio to studio; it wasn't until 2006 that Marvel acquired back the rights and decided to use it as the launching pad for it's own studio as well as a cinematic universe that the film would finally materialize. In this episode of The 602 Club host Matthew Rushing is joined by Jose Munoz, Andi VanderKolk and Daniel Proulx to talk about Iron Man. We discuss the long production history of the film, our first thoughts, realism in comic book movies, The cast, the villain, story, music, direction and ask if it still holds up.    Host Matthew Rushing   Guests  Andi VanderKolk Daniel Proulx Jose Munoz   Editor and Producer Matthew Rushing Richard Marquez   Associate Producers Norman C.
