This week Jim from NSFW returns to the cast to cover third base!
Zac travels to Dave & Busters and finds odd updates of Pac Man and Frogger, Captain Genius tries to find reason for the disappearance of DC Nation, and Jim tries to make us justify retro gaming in the face of Borderlands 2.
We’ll also try to figure out why Clark Gregg is back and why the Venture Brothers aren’t!
Marvel continues its series of short form films to include on DVD/Blu-Ray releases of its movies. In the same vein as “The Consultant” and “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor’s Hammer”, “Item 47” deals with a minor story line related to the aftermath of the Avengers.
UPDATE – Looks like the video was taken down pretty quickly. Here’s a movie poster for the short film in it’s stead.
Oh good! Another 68 minutes of podcasting!
In this week’s excursion, Zac tackles the moral dilema of Superman VS The Elite, Adam gets a Gravity Rush off some Red Bull, and Captain Genius offers a counter-point to Lollipop Chainsaw.
After all that we chat about Michael Bay’s TMNT movie, Hans Zimmer, Disney’s next move with the Avengers cartoons, and how one troll fooled a dozen comic blogs (us included).

The Avengers has become a worldwide phenomenon, and a huge supply of official images and bootleg copies of the movie have lead to a deluge of animated gifs and memes.
Forum members LokiPoki and BenTheo have been posting them in our official Avengers discussion thread here. You can continue reading this post to see all the images so far. We’ll update with more as they come in.
While it is accepted that all the Marvel ‘Avengers’ solo movies lead into the massive super hero team up film, there has been some inconsistency from fans as to which events came in what order. Obviously, Captain America’s World War II mission is before Tony Stark built his first Jericho missile, but when Did Thor fight The Destroyer and when did Hulk fight The Abomination? The answers may surprise you!
A book called The Art of Marvel’s The Avengers has the full time line spelled out in relation to the event of Tony Stark admitting he’s Iron Man. Goes back as fas as when Odin left the Cosmic Cube on Earth and leaders up to the very first scene in Avengers. Since many events overlap, there is never going to be a proper order to watch the films in, unless you want to sit at an edit bay and cut together a 10 hour movie of the 5 films before Avengers.
Adam and Zac are joined by Jim from Not Safe For Watercoolers, proving that the only qualification for being on the show is the ability to talk and laugh loudly.
Topics of discussion include Fez, bare knuckle boxing, Sour Patch Kids, The Avengers, The Simpsons’ home town of Springfield, and the forthcoming video game The Witcher 2. Or at least we tried to talk about these things.

Here are forty three seconds of Avengers. Sure, thats shorter than any of the trailers, but its an actual clip instead of a bunch of jump cuts from all over the movie.
Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) is tied to a chair, seemingly captured by three men. She’s on the phone with Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg), who delivers some bad news. Whatever plan she had up her sleeve is cut short when she starts beating up all three guys while still tied to the chair.
Director Joss Whedon loves to make his female characters spin around and kick dudes. I can’t decided if he’s as in to female empowerment as many have credited him, or simply thinks this is as totally hot as most of our male readership does.
