#10: Marvel Cinematic Universe/Power Rangers Reboot/WWE Crossover Cartoons


We hit the double digits with all we've got, as Tyler Moliterno from Generation Animation joins us for our longest episode ever (We started early and ran long, which explains a lot).  We kick things off with a talk about the recent rash of bizarre direct-to-video movies featuring classic cartoons teaming up with WWE superstars, which ended up being the best way for Chris & Tyler to bond without any of us planning for it.
Afterwards, John and Tyler dive into their overall thoughts on the recent big-screen reimagining of the Power Rangers, complete with nostalgic thoughts and speculation from all three hosts.  And the episode isn't even halfway over when we tackle our main topic, as we discuss and rank the movies that make up the cultural juggernaut that is Marvel Studios' interconnected superhero film franchise.  We talk about Tony Stark's "peak dick" period, Edgar Wright's Howard the Duck, John's co-worker's adoration for talking raccoons, and Tyler's hands-on experience with one scene from the film that ends up universally topping our lists.  We also touch on the TV spinoffs briefly, but that may be a discussion worthy of its own episode...
