Has there ever been a moment in your life where you felt the need to stretch the truth a bit and it turned into a bigger deal than you thought?

As if you haven’t talked about or heard enough about Avengers: Age of Ultron, here’s an hour long podcast! Spagettit and I once again gather on the floor of his room to discuss the mammoth blockbuster. Topics that were covered: what makes the movie work, what the issues were, what we think of the MCU going forward. I also give Spagettit a crash course in shipping. Enjoy!
If I had to pick a word to describe Avengers: Age of Ultron, it would be epic. The movie is epic in run time (2 1/2 hours), scope (we travel to three countries), characters (all the original Avengers are back plus 4 familiar faces and four new characters) and plot developments. And it’s not hard
