Get out your geek hat, because this episode is chock-full.
We talk over, around, and through The Avengers. The new record-holder for US-opening-weekend-box-office-gross was enjoyed by both of us, to varying degrees. It was bound to make this much money, of course, because they’ve been advertising it since 2008.
I also took in a couple Oscar nominees from last year in Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and The Descendants. I have some thoughts on each.
Finally, we recognize the passing of Adam Yauch, with a soundtrack by The Beastie Boys.
Enjoy the show!
