The MCU Ignites: A look back at Iron Man (2008)

About this episode

The episode explores the significance of Iron Man in the context of the MCU and comic book movies.

Despite being a fan of the MCU and comic book movies in general, I've barely discussed the MCU on the channel. We're about to change all that, starting with a deep dive back to 2008's OG Iron Man.
