Marvel Movie Minute • Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Minute Fifty Three: From A Very Desperate Fury to Loki Dragging Things OutJoining us on the show, we have Declan Craggs from Scream Movie Minute.
In the fifty-third minute of The Avengers...We start where we left off last minute – a key trailer shot of the Avengers at the conference table looking very pensive. What’s Thor thinking about? Why don’t any of them ask why it was so easy to catch Loki or why he didn’t try to escape earlier? The conversation between Loki and Fury is great. Fury’s quick end does make us wonder about that cut to Agent Hill. It sure feels like this was a legacy cut from the original edit when Hill was angry at Fury for getting them into this situation. Now, it just feels weirdly placed, particularly as it’s a line directed at Tony, who’s not even listening. Regardless, this all makes for an interesting conversation. Tune in!

Minute Fifty Two: From Fury Clearing Things Up to Fury’s Lost CreaturesJoining us on the show, we have Declan Craggs from Scream Movie Minute.
In the fifty-second minute of The Avengers...Loki makes it into his cell and Nick Fury joins him to show him his special prison. Nick is appropriately angry, but should he be opening the ship to demonstrate his jail cell setup? If he’s 30,000 feet up, that would suck him out, right? At the very least, it’d create a strong wind and likely make it very cold on the ship. But what would happen to Hulk or Loki if it dropped with them in it? Would it kill them?
How does Loki know the cameras are on when he turns to the security camera? Is it just his ego that he assumes everyone’s tuning in? What’s with his ‘lost creatures’ shade? But wait... why didn’t any of our superheroes escort him down here? Why did they go straight to the conference table to chill? We have a lot of questions this minute. Tune in!

Minute Fifty One: From Iron Man Getting Up After the Fight to Locked-Up LokiJoining us on the show, we have Declan Craggs from Scream Movie Minute.
In the fifty-first minute of The Avengers...The fight comes to an end. We sure hope there were no campers nearby as they may have just had all the flesh ripped from their bodies! We talk a bit more about the idea of good guys fighting, and that sense after something involving a lot of adrenaline when you calm down and look at what you’ve done. There’s a sense of that here for sure.
From there, we transition to the skies and specifically the helicarrier. Were they cloaked or not before we see them? Possibly? But how do our heroes get off the quinjet onto the helicarrier without getting blown immediately off the deck? And how do they breathe? Loki makes it into the hall with a team of SHIELD troops that look suspiciously like bad guys. Is this the start of HYDRA’s infiltration? We ponder the strange white antennae spaced out across the ceiling. 
And we get to chat a bit about Bruce. What the heck is he working on? Should we know what this machine is or does? We assume it has to do with gamma, but does that mean this room’s irradiated? Why is it blue? When he and Loki share a look, what causes that pinch he does to the bridge of his nose? Is he just tired or are we meant to assume there’s some sort of thing Loki’s doing to him? It’s a strange moment, but plenty of great conversation. Tune in!Join the conversation with movie lovers from around the world on The Next Reel’s Discord channel!

Minute Fifty: From Another Headbutt to A Concussive StrikeEric Deutsch, co-host from Flash Gordon Minute and Escape From New York Minute, joins us in this episode!
In the fiftieth minute of The Avengers...More fighting between our heroes. How much did we want to see this when we were kids on the playground? How often did we argue about who would beat who? This is that chance. Did we need it? Maybe not. But it plays well for the most part, right? We talk about some moments that work really well in this battle. We also talk about why Thor is so serious here, much different than later when he gets to fight Hulk. Andy even creates a wacky metaphor for the entire situation.
And then we get to talk about the grown-up showing up as Captain America arrives, clocking them both with the pointy edge of his shield. But why did he decide to climb up to the top end of a broken tree? And how far did he have to run to get here? We debate a bit about the moment when Steve challenges Thor to put his hammer down, wondering if Thor only attacks Cap because Tony throws out a smarmy comment. 
And then we get the other great argument on playgrounds – which weapon’s stronger. We get to see Thor’s hammer pounding Cap’s shield and lo and behold, it’s a draw! Sure, it destroys an acre of forest, but it’s worth it to see this, right? We dig into this and more. Tune in!

Minute Forty Nine: From A Kick to the Chest to A HeadbuttLester Clark and Kynan Dias from The Exorcist Minute join us in this episode!
In the forty-ninth minute of The Avengers...There may be next to no dialogue, but there’s plenty of pugilism this minute as Thor and Iron Man go head to head, or... suit to hammer? There’s also plenty to discuss. Good guys fighting? How does that play? Is there a point they should worry that what they’re doing might actually kill the other? Lest we forget Loki’s sitting on a cliff watching below. Why doesn’t he try to escape though? Oh yeah – bigger plan and all. Shouldn’t the heroes wonder more about that though? And how does a suit get powered up to over 400%? Certainly a lot of questions as well as a fantastic conversation with Lester and Kynan in this episode. Tune in!

Minute Forty Eight: From Thor Warning Loki to Iron Man Blasting ThorNathan Blackwell and Krissy Lenz, from Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast, part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network, join us in this episode!
In the forty-eighth minute of The Avengers...Thor and Loki are mid-conversation and it’s just getting good. We’re just learning that Thor needed the Tesseract to get Loki home. But it’s all interrupted when Tony finally shows up and decides to just start fighting. The break in conversation, as it turns out, is a very Notaro-esque thing to do. It’s fun. But how does the fighting between heroes play? It certainly fulfills the comic book tropes, but what’s it say about our heroes? Does it make sense in the story? We bicker about it and largely land on the idea that it helps, even if Andy’s still a bit unsure of it. We do get some fun battling between Tony and Thor though! Tune in!

Minute Forty Seven: From A Compliment From Loki to Thor Summoning MjølnirNathan Blackwell and Krissy Lenz, from Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast, part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network, join us in this episode!
In the forty-seventh minute of The Avengers...The conversation between Loki and Thor continues. Plus, it turns out Odin’s tuning in as Huggin and Munnin, his two ravens, make an appearance. In this minute, the conversation turns toward Earth, Thor’s ‘leadership,’ the idea of ruling, the idea of humanity managing without gods, and more. Plus, we talk about the Tesseract, some expositional acting, and more. Tune in!

Minute Forty Six: From Grumpy Thor to Laughing LokiNathan Blackwell and Krissy Lenz, from Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast, part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network, join us in this episode!In the forty-sixth minute of The Avengers...We get several full minutes to discuss the conversation between Thor and Loki on the side of a cliff, that looks remarkably like the spot where Captain America joined the Howling Commandos as they prepared to zipline down to the HYDRA train. Like the same set? Sure feels that way. We also talk about the idea of dark energy and how Odin got Thor here, along with many aspects of their broken relationship after Thor thought Loki was dead.

Minute Forty Five: From Thor’s Arrival to Loki Saying He Missed His Brother.Nathan Blackwell and Krissy Lenz, from Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast, part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network, join us in this episode!
In the forty-fifth minute of The Avengers...Thor takes Loki and runs. We’ve got more fun character dynamics as we dig into this minute. How does Tony’s reaction to getting hit play? Is that why he’s in attack mode? And nice to see Steve’s still needing a parachute. Not for much longer! What’s with him calling Natasha ma’am? That seems too old-fashioned, particularly for someone he knows. This minute also gives us a chance to dig into not only what God wears, but also the idea of God and gods. We explore this a bit. And then we travel to the cliff top with Thor and Loki as they begin their conversation. Tune in!

Minute Forty Four: From Cap Not Liking It to Cap Not Getting ItNathan Blackwell and Krissy Lenz, from Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast, part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network, join us in this episode!
In the forty-fourth minute of The Avengers...It’s quinjet time! Why is Loki so quiet? And why is Natasha acting like the group mom? We talk a bit about likely direction and mountain range we’re flying over before we dig into the juicy part of this minute – relationship dynamics beween our heroes. Why is Tony acting like such a jerk? What does Steve think of him? And how well does Thor’s arrival play? Tune in!
