We're almost there...to episode #100.  But, first, in #099, we take a discerning look at "Iron Man 2," supposedly the 2nd-worst movie of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.  But, do we rate it that badly, or do we kind of like it -- or both?

 - What is the biggest flaw in this movie, stated very early in the review (and again later)?

 - Which co-host(s) appreciated more scenes of Tony Stark making stuff in his workshop?

 - Which co-host(s) enjoyed the introduction of Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow in this movie?

 - Which co-host(s) enjoyed the Monaco race track sequence and the Tony/Rhodey fight scene at the party, and which co-host(s) disliked those scenes.

 - What are some of the great quotes from the movie?

 - What is this movie's alternate beginning remembered by one co-host as a deleted scene?

 - Which co-host questions just how long the Stark Expo is and how Justin Hammer and the military are able to prepare and squeeze in a demonstration, especially if the Expo is only one week long?

 - And, was it far-fetched that Tony Stark invented a new element?

Listen now to find out the answers to these and other industrious questions.

Grab your robotic armor, electro-whips, pet bird, drone army, and new element blueprint, as we take our shots at "Iron Man 2."  And, skip the strawberries if you're allergic.
