Puny Podians Assemble! Ryan and David are back in the Super Secret Spoiler Show vault, this time diving into Iron Man 3—the movie that kicked off Phase 2 and split fans faster than Tony’s suits falling apart mid-flight.

They’re breaking down Shane Black’s snarky, Christmas-set spin on the Iron Avenger: the Mandarin twist, PTSD Tony, an army of exploding Extremis soldiers, and a whole lot of suits. From Iron Man 3’s divisive legacy to its surprising emotional depth, this episode covers what worked, what whiffed, and why it still sparks debate across MCU fandom.

Plus, the usual SSSS chaos—Skrull of the Movie, product placement awards (looking at you, Audi), facial hair rankings, and the eternal question: which role would Nicolas Cage absolutely overact to perfection?

Whether you think Iron Man 3 is underrated brilliance or Tony’s weakest link, this spoiler-filled deep dive is loaded with armor, attitude, and absurdity. Hit play and let’s power up!
