Marvel Movie Minute • Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Minute Thirty-Three: From Agent Romanoff Meeting Captain Rogers to Machinery in MotionWill Freeland, aka SylverDreamer on TwitchTV, and one of the hosts from the Hype Is My Superpower podcast joins us in this episode!
In the thirty-third minute of The Avengers...Agent Phil Coulson introduces Natasha Romanoff to Steve Rogers before he has to run off to do something called a ‘face trace.’ That sounds like good, clean governmental fun! Why don’t any of these helicarrier crew members have SHIELD logos on their outfits? We get to chat about the Coulson-fawning and the trading cards. Wouldn’t Steve have known trading cards existed? Perhaps it’s just that he’s surprised anyone collects things like that.
They also meet Bruce Banner. We now have three Avengers together! We’re getting closer! They chat briefly about Steve’s military time and Bruce’s big brain before Natasha tells them they need to go inside, allowing for a little hint at what’s to come in our next minute.

Minute Thirty-Two: From The Other’s Threat to Arrival on the Helicarrier
In the thirty-second minute of The Avengers...The wrap-up of this conversation between The Other and Loki is full of threats and head trauma. How does The Other transfer pain from Sanctuary to Earth? That’s quite a power. Loki does seem worried though. What’s up with The Other’s dental work though? And hey! We get a leviathan randomly creeping through the background here! 
We hear the Avengers theme so that must mean we’re getting more team-building! that’s right, the quinjet lands on the helicarrier. That’s right, it’s time for more talk about Marvel origins! Plus, we get to see the cool panels on the quinjet’s wings open so it can do it’s vertical landing. It’s very cool! Tune in!

Minute Thirty-One: From The Meager Might of Earth to The Other's Concession
In the thirty-first minute of The Avengers...Why does it feel like this scene was shot so strangely? The positions of Loki and The Other feel odd. Or maybe it’s that way they choose to shoot the scene with the actors rotating around the set, not looking at each other. The script here also feels a bit clumsy. They’re really working to establish this butting of heads between these two characters, but it feels very scripted. What’s the relationship between The Other and Thanos? And Loki? When The Other says Thanos gave Loki ancient knowledge, what does he mean? And how does this location actually work? Oh – and we learn that The Other can move really fast. And wha’ts up with his sixth finger? Tune in!

Minute Thirty: From Coulson’s Input to The Other’s QuestionMatthew Costello, author of Secret Identity Crisis: Comic books and the Unmasking of Cold War America, joins us in this episode!
In the thirtieth minute of The Avengers...The relationship between Steve and Agent Coulson is central to our conversation here. How does it play for Steve as the man out of time? It’s interesting how he reads the stars and stripes as old-fashioned. Is that his understanding of the modern era? Phil acts as the audience surrogate here, helping us (and Steve) connect to what’s going on in the world here.
We also get to talk about the odd lair Loki’s managed to put together (in just two days!). They’re very busy. How is Loki doing his thing with Sanctuary? Or did they notify him they wanted to chat? Why does The Other seem to be Jawa-sized and we only see his top half? What the heck is going on here? Tune in!

Minute Twenty-Nine: From 40 Minutes Out to Coulson’s Reassuring WordsJonathan Carlisle from UHF 62nd and The Princess Bride Minute join us in this episode!
In the twenty-ninth minute of The Avengers...It’s so fun watching Agent Coulson chat with Steve. Well, it’s awfully uncomfortable, but Clark Gregg and Chris Evans play the scene perfectly. We talk a bit about the quinjet and how Steve’s catching up on yet another example of that fantastic SHIELD tech we just saw Tony using. How does Gregg’s acting seem as he gets up from the desk? Too much business? Regardless, his move across the quinjet is perfect. It’s another great example of dialogue leading great scenes through complicated exposition. Tune in!

Minute Twenty-Eight: From Tony Throwing Holograms Around the Room to Two Pilots in a Quinjet CockpitJonathan Carlisle from UHF 62nd and The Princess Bride Minute join us in this episode!
In the twenty-eighth minute of The Avengers...Such fun hologram toys Tony plays with! We look at his fantastic holographic displays and debate what’s actually in the room with them as opposed to what’s on the stage when filming. We do touch on the fact that Tony reaches in and grabs the image of the Tesseract to spin it around and look at it. Why that look? Is there implication that he recognizes it, perhaps from his dad’s writings? Should Tony have known about these things by now though? He painted himself as the world police in Iron Man 2. Presumably, he’d be aware of a big green monster at Culver University or Harlem, as well as a giant robot attack in Puente Antiguo. We also talk about Tony’s fantastic ceiling light, his adorable goodbye with Pepper, the cellist, and the quinjet! Tune in!

Minute Twenty-Seven: From Phil Saying He Can’t Stay to Pepper Asking What All of This IsJonathan Carlisle from UHF 62nd and The Princess Bride Minute joins us in this episode!
In the twenty-seventh minute of The Avengers...More wonderful banter between Tony, Pepper, and Phil. Following up on our conversation yesterday with Matthew Costello, these actors feel so perfect in the roles. They absolutely capture the right essence of their lines here and make for a wonderfully memorable scene. We also get to talk about the crazy laptop tech that SHIELD has, which we see in what Agent Coulson gives to Tony. Is Tony working on tech with them or is this their own proprietary thing? It’s slick. We get to dig in a bit into what Tony’s looking at, and we also ponder about when Pepper and Phil have been growing closer. Tune in!

Minute Twenty-Six: From Credit for Pepper to ‘Phil?’Matthew Costello, author of Secret Identity Crisis: Comic books and the Unmasking of Cold War America, joins us in this episode!
In the twenty-sixth minute of The Avengers...It’s hard to go wrong with the Tony/Pepper dynamic. That certainly holds true with Robert Downey Jr./Gwyneth Paltrow as well. They clearly are movie stars and carry a real sense of connection on screen. Plus, the writing here stands out as exceptional character material. We talk a lot about them and their relationship, as well as how it’s grown from the first Iron Man film to now. That, of course, allows us to bring Agent Phil Coulson into the conversation as he enters the room. He’s been around since the start as well, and there’s definitely a sense of the relationships growing over time from then to now for all three of them. We talk about all of that, plus life model decoys! Tune in!

Minute Twenty-Five: From More Me to a Tap on the ChestJames Anderson and Colin Parker from the Timeline Scavengers podcast join us in this episode!
In the twenty-fifth minute of The Avengers...We have a lot of love for the location shots in midtown Manhattan where we see Grand Central Station and the area around the MetLife building. You can even see cranes, showing that Tony’s still working on redoing this building. The building’s design is very cool and there are some wonderfully detailed shots that only last a few seconds, but they do a great job of laying out this building, which later filmmakers likely weren’t even aware they’d be using as much as they did.
We have a great conversation about Tony and his personality, as well as his working and romantic relationship with Pepper. This scene plays it so well and we’re here for it. We also get some of Jarvis, and a hint of what’s to come with Agent Coulson. 
Don’t worry – we also talk plenty about Tony’s suit removal unit, which seems to have been nicknamed the car wash by everyone who worked on it. And yes, we even talk about The Mentalist. Tune in!

Minute Twenty Four: From Steve’s Exit to ChristmasJoining us today, we have Ryan Dalton, author of the Time Shift trilogy and This Last Adventure.
In the twenty-fourth minute of The Avengers...We wrap up our conversation about Steve and Nick Fury, then head underwater to find Tony Stark. The transition from one scene to the next provides a nice contrast in personalities and world views. So what’s Tony doing to that transmission line? Should he be cutting into a line underwater that carries, you know, electricity? Well, it is Tony, after all. What do the people on the ferry think when he bursts out of the water at night like he does? Would they think it’s a missile of some sort? Probably frightening. Tony flies off to the new Stark Tower and we talk about not only his journey to get there – which doesn’t make a lot of sense when mapped out – as well as the fact that Tony’s purchase of the MetLife building is apparently part of the backstory for this location. It’s pretty great. Plus, we get a nod to Christmas! Tune in!
