Ep. 38 - ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Deep Review
Bill and Chad felt the hairs on their arms stand up, heeded the call, and ran to the theatre with everyone else in the world to watch the culmination of 10 years of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and 18 previous superhero flicks - Avengers: Infinity War. What's with Cap's beard? Can a CGI character make you cry? Is this the end of our intrepid heroes? Assemble around your podcast player of choice and join the Nerdstalking team as they drill down into the biggest cinematic event ever! WARNING: as usual for a Nerdstalking movie review, we examine many fascets of the film and don't skirt around plot points to give the most thorough, honest review. So SPOILERS ASSEMBLE!
