Podcasters… Assemble!  We were remarkably good and held off on any Marvel content for over half a year. So now we’re breaking the seal and giving our full attention to the film that started it all in back in 2008 with Jon Favreau’s Iron Man .  Join your favourite transatlantic film review crew – Ian, Liam, Ellie, Georgia, and Ethan – as we head to Burger King in our Audi in search of a classic American Cheeseburger. It's a gamechanger of a 34th episode as we discuss:

· How much did Robert Downey Jr & Terrence Howard made for Iron Man

· What other directors were attached to the film before Jon Favreau was hired.

· Why Jeff Bridges referred to Iron Man as a “$200 million student film”

· Is Iron Man just a reimagined James Bond?

· How Ramin Djawadi composed the score for Iron Man

· What was the first thing Jon Favreau did when he found out he would be directing Iron Man?

· Ian & Liam come up with a great sitcom spin-off for SHIELD agent Phil Coulson

· How Favreau pulled off the scene where Pepper puts her hand in Downey’s chest

· What unique rehearsal trick did Bridges & Downey do together

· How many soundbytes/easter eggs were presented here that wouldn’t show up until much later?

· What do the voices of Jarvis and Karen (Spider-Man: Homecoming) have in common?

· Whether or not Iron Man is the Best Film Ever
