Far From "Spider-Man: Far From Home" [Redux]

You know, Shayne and I set out to talk about Spider‑Man: Far From Home, but like any good Marvel movie, we immediately veered into a Phase One origin story. Because nothing says “focused podcasting” like spending twenty minutes ranking movies from 2008. Grab your shield, your hammer, or your preemptive‑strike bathroom plan — we’re assembling.Round 312!(A Redux of Round 28 from June 11, 2020!)In this round we discuss:​Iron Man’s surprise greatness​Hulk actor musical chairs​Thor, Natalie Portman, and Kat Dennings​Captain America: peak patriotism and peak Chris Evans​The legendary "preemptive strike" bathroom strategy​Jay's definitive Phase One ranking (The Avengers is NOT #1, and Shayne is personally offended)~~~~~~~Want bonus rounds, early access, and the warm fuzzy feeling of supporting two guys who can't stay on topic?

It helps more people find us, and frankly, we need the validation.~~~~~~~Here’s what our house elf, Artie (not Archie), says about this round: The boys dive deep into Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase One, ranking the original six films and arguing about everything from Iron Man’s swagger to Thor’s unexpected charm. Shayne confesses he didn’t see half the movies until way too late, Jay defends Captain America like it’s his patriotic duty, and both agree that Mark Ruffalo is the Hulk we deserve. They also reveal the sacred art of the “preemptive strike” — the bathroom run before trailers — proving once again that Beer Thursday is where cinematic wisdom meets questionable life choices.~~~~~~~Chapters00:00 – Whiskey Voice Begins01:30 - Shayne's issue with the movie order02:40 – Iron Man Awakens05:23 – Hulk Actor Swap06:15 – Don Cheadle Upgrade10:28 – Thor Surprises: Thor, Natalie, and Kat13:00 – Cap Takes the Lead14:55 – Avengers Assemble17:43 – Spider‑Man?
