Minute Eighty Two: From Barton’s Mercenaries Approaching Engine Three to Engine One in Shut-DownMike Gravagno from The Superhero Show Show and Movie of the Year joins us in this episode!In the eighty-second minute of The Avengers...Barton’s and Loki’s mercenaries finally make it to engine three where they prepare to sabotage it further with a grenade, but Steve sees them and does a wild move to block the grenade, then parkour his way to the merc to take him down. It’s a pretty cool bit, and we’re here for it. Plus, Steve and grenades... they have a history. We talk a bit about Steve’s crazy move to kick the gun out of the second merc’s hands UP to the catwalk by the red lever. It’s as if he knew he’d need it... Hrm... We also get to talk about Steve’s penchant for tossing people off of planes. Perhaps he prefers that to shooting them? He certainly never hits the guys with his shots. It’s like two Stormtroopers here.We go from here to the bridge where Fury takes down the fifth mercenary trying to get in. What’s up with the ever-multiplying mercenaries? Did Barton have some planted on the ship? Regardless, why is Fury so confused about the fact that they just keep coming?He’s interrupted in his thinkining, though, because Barton finally pops up – in a vent – and starts shooting arrows. Why doesn’t he take Fury out? It does give us a chance to talk about his data arrow though. Yeah, that’s a thing. The arrow shuts down engine one, along with the computers on the bridge – well, select computers, at least – and everyone starts listing. Even Agent Sitwell!

Minute Eighty One: From Moving Into Position to Massive Falling DebrisRyanne Bennett from Black Girl Nerds joins us in this episode!In the eighty-first minute of The Avengers...It’s our SHIELD pilot up against Hulk. Who will win? Well, we all know how this is going to play out. Hulk stomps everyone. He’s stomping Thor (the puny god). He stomps the aircraft our pilot’s flying, and let’s be honest – he’s now thoroughly stomped the helicarrier, which certainly won’t be able to land in the ocean now that it’s got this giant hole in the lab windows. How do they fix it anyway? We talk about Hulk taking out the aircraft, and the horror of 1) having to use an ejection seat then 2) being caught and thrown by Hulk in the process. At least his chute still opens! Hulk manages to blow the aircraft up before falling to New Jersey. Iron Man’s also irresponsibly knocking pieces down to New Jersey. So much for anyone below! But it’s a great minute and we have a great chat about everything going on in it.

Minute Eighty: From Thor Trying a Choke Hold on Hulk to The Young SHIELD Pilot Dropping into PositionJason Dittmer, Professor of Political Geography at University College London and author of ‘Captain America and the Nationalist Superhero’, joins us in this episode!
In the Eightieth minute of The Avengers...We start this minute with some awkward shots of Thor and Hulk fighting. Is that because of the shot construction trying to make room for the CG Hulk? We’re not sure, but it certainly stands out.
From there, we go to the bridge, just in time for a grenade to land, throwing Agent Hill back. Fury takes out two of Barton’s mercenaries, which sets us off on our tracking of the various operatives to see if there truly are just seven. We also debate if Nick is truly the best super spy as well as the best helicarrier pilot, or if he’s actually quite mediocre at both, but happens to know how to do both so comes in handy.
We get a bit of Coulson as he sets out to retrieve something from a secured locker, we get Thor and Hulk landing in the Wishbone lab, and we get Hill giving orders to one of the nearby Lightnings – real planes! – to take on Hulk. It’s a full minute! Tune in!

Minute Seventy Nine: From Tony’s Tech Jargon to Hulk Failing to Pick Up MjølnirJason Dittmer, Professor of Political Geography at University College London and author of ‘Captain America and the Nationalist Superhero’, joins us in this episode!
In the seventy-ninth minute of The Avengers...So much of Tony-science in this minute! We get to talk about magnetic levitation, or mag-lev. We also get to discuss stators and the potential logic behind what Tony’s trying to do. It somewhat makes sense. Is that good enough? There’s also some serious discussion about the red lever and how it plays into Tony’s dumbing down the conversation.
From there, we return to Thor and Hulk. We get a nice dutch angle of Thor – a nice nod to Kenneth Branagh’s style. We also get the surprising return of tiptoeing Hulk. Why is he so quiet in his approach to Thor? There’s also the calling of Mjølnir which elicits some concerns. That being said, we do get some fantastic beats of the fight through the rest of the minute – Thor undercutting Hulk with Mjølnir, hurling him into a harrier jet in a speed-ramped shot shines. Thor dropping and sliding on his knees while leaning back to dodge the harrier wing is another. And Hulk grabbing Mjølnir, only to get pinned by it is a third. 
We struggle through some of this minute, but still genuinely enjoy it, and have a great conversation about all of it. Tune in!

Minute Seventy Eight: From The Hallway Chase to Steve Warning Tony About That Thing Getting Up To SpeedJason Dittmer, Professor of Political Geography at University College London and author of ‘Captain America and the Nationalist Superhero’, joins us in this episode!In the seventy-eighth minute of The Avengers...The hallway run as Hulk chases Black Widow is a fantastic shot and something that’s perfect for the trailer. What about the logic of designing a ship like this? Does the space make sense? We also run into some issues talking about the writer/director’s decision to have Hulk backhand Natasha, then shortly after prepare to do it again. It feels a bit... gross.But Thor arrives to save the day. Why not with Mjølnir? Oh yeah – we need to save that moment for a cool entry later. But can Thor really move this fast otherwise? He and Hulk end up in the lower docking area where we’ll see them fight for a few minutes. Why did it take Thor so long to join the fray though? And at what point did he learn that Bruce turns into this green monster? Does it matter that that’s never set up? Regardless, Hulk smashes him a bit more.We end the minute back with Tony and Steve as Tony talks super conductors and kick-starting the engine, things that don’t make much sense. But it’s fun, right?

Minute Seventy Seven: From Tony’s Engine Analysis to Hulk Doing What He Does BestJason Dittmer, Professor of Political Geography at University College London and author of ‘Captain America and the Nationalist Superhero’, joins us in this episode!
In the seventy-seventh minute of The Avengers...Tony and Steve continue their work on repairing the engine. We’re not sure about Steve’s decision to perform gymnastic feats on this damaged part of the aircraft, but he seems to be a monkey without fear of gravity, and we’re okay with it. Chris Evans delivers his line well here. Tony does his usual thing.
Back with Natasha, she’s now hiding from Hulk, who seems to have learned the art of tiptoeing. Why is he so quiet? And why has he decided to specifically single her out as his target? Wouldn’t he normally forget about her shortly after losing sight of her? We also get to talk about a deleted scene and the start of the hallway run. Tune in!
