SAFE MEN And Super People: How John Hamburg's First Film Shaped the MARVEL Cinematic Universe

By Elbee Bargeron and Mike Delaney

Leading up to the April 27th* release of Disney’s Marvel’s The Avengers: Infinity War, several film sites and podcasts are revisiting the 18 interconnected superhero films that built upon each other, culminating in this 19th offering. The writers of this piece recommend reading Such and So’s brilliant take at Blah Blah dot com or What’s His Face’s exploration at Poddy Pod of all the Easter eggs you didn’t spot the first six times you watched the film. Those are great pieces, and there are literally dozens more if you Google “Marvel movie writing stuff.” All those talented film writers take you through the Marvel Cinematic Universe (or the MCU, if you hate several vowels and certain consonants), beginning with Rudy’s Jon Favreau’s Iron Man (2008), and concluding with Ryan “Creed” Coogler’s Black Panther (2018).

Watchin' Trailerz with Doug (April 5)

Thanks for everyone's kind words and well wishes! Mom and baby (and Doug) are doing great! But just remember: it's a marathon, and, you know, you GOTTA sleep when the baby sleeps. Listen, LISTEN -- I would take a bullet for her. Because life is precious. And God, and the Bible. But enough about me and my FAMILY OF THREE ... trailerz wait for no baby! Except for last week! Sorry about that!

Unsung!: Confessions of a Dangerous Mind

With the talent involved in this film, how could it have failed at the box office? That is not a rhetorical question. I am waiting. HOW COULD IT HAVE FAILED?
