DTVC Extra 20, MCU Phase 2, "Avengers: Age of Ultron" and "Ant-Man"
Description
"DTVC Extra" are shorter solo episodes that I'll be posting on some weeks in addition to the main podcast. In this episode we're continuing our look at the MCU Phase 2 with "Avengers: Age of Ultron" and "Ant-Man." Before that, I talk about the flop that was the 2015 "Fantastic Four" film. Then with "Avengers: Age of Ultron" I look at how that film compares with the first one, and how James Spader as Ultron's voice might be my favorite baddie so far. Finally, with "Ant-Man," I look at this as almost an after-thought film sandwiched between the Avengers film and the first film of Phase 3, "Captain America: Civil War," and then I further my thought from last week about how the MCU audience has aged out some, and how that affected the floor for movies like this going forward.
