Doctor Strange is a real master of the bargaining arts.

Stan Lee and Steve Ditko gave us a glimpse at how awful 1960s TV was in May 1964, and 54 years later, we decided to talk about it.

MCU Special: “The Marvel Age of Movies!”

infinity war

We are truly living in the Marvel Age of Movies!

With “Avengers: Infinity War” arriving in theaters this week (!), we decided to do a special blow-out episode going through the Marvel Cinematic Universe, picking out the silliest parts and our favorite parts from every Marvel Studios movie and comparing them to the 1960s comics we talk about on our podcast.

Click on the player below to listen to a special Infinity-sized episode of The Brothers Marvel podcast, in which we discuss the first 18 movies in the MCU, featuring a box of scraps, Tim Roth getting kicked into a tree, salmon carpaccio, a dog large enough to ride, “Captain America! I am a great fan of your films!,” the last time I was in Germany, the toast of Croydon, those elves you forgot, Barack Obama’s book, a talking raccoon, a giant cuttlefish, Garrett Morris for some reason, walnut date loaves, the Vaulting Boots of Valtorr, Kurt Russell’s out-of-sync singing, instant-kill mode and ARMORED RHINOS!

Plus, we assemble our own Infinity Gauntlets by picking an Infinity everyday object for each movie, reveal our MCU rankings and make all kinds of sure-to-be-wrong predictions for “Avengers: Infinity War” — including who we think the Skrull is!
