#357 - Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)

Subject: Marvel's The Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) Observers: John Pavlich, Tysto Record Date: March 26, 2017, 01:24 PM Plot Summary: Tony Stark unwittingly creates an unhinged, artificial intelligence that seeks to create world peace by killing The Avengers and destroying all of humanity. Note: Celebrating 11 years of Sofa Dogs, Tysto returns to examine Joss Whedon's ambitious but misguided follow-up to his previous superhero masterstroke. We talk about existential double-dipping, desensitized wonderment, metal robots that look like rubber, choking on characters and critical overreactions. Remember to listen for the preemptive countdown before starting the film on your DVD. Support: John's Go Fund Me campaign! Buy: Avengers: Age of Ultron on Blu-ray at Amazon.com!
