Episode notes
The hosts discuss Marvel's Phase 2 opener, examining how Iron Man 3 compares to the first two films and exploring Shane Black's approach to the trilogy's conclusion. They dig into the controversial Mandarin twist, the abundance of armor designs, Tony Stark's post-Avengers psychological state, and whether the film's plot holes and pacing issues detract from its action and performances. After two viewings, the consensus is that Iron Man 3 is a strong entry that takes creative risks with the source material.
