Agent Palmer

It’s all connected and it’s all brilliant. Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season two ended with a bang and opened as many doors for season three as it closed on season two.

Before I get into the fangasm post you’re about to read of my thoughts on season two, I must say that I was one of the few who thoroughly enjoyed season one. I didn’t find it slow, I just thought it was great with the added bonus of really connecting to the larger part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), especially with what they did to lead in to the setup of Captain America: The Winter Soldier and in it’s aftermath.

When one third of the Nerdist Podcast meets the “M” in SModCast you get FEaB; Four Eyes and Beard.

When Matt Mira (Four Eyes) from Nerdist and Scott Mosier (Beard) from SModcast get together to talk about whatever they want, hilarity ensues.

It all started with an episode of 7 Days a Geek; Episode 108 to be exact, which led to getting a sneak preview of The Stranger Conversations, and then to twitter conversations and eventually my first podcast appearance on The Stranger Conversations. That’s how it started, honest.

From talking to Jason The Angry Ginger @s7evendaysageek and Grant The Kilted One @insta_grants2 on twitter, I became the 15th guest on Grant’s podcast The Stranger Conversations, even though it’s only episode 14, because he started counting at zero.

Is it Avengers: Age of Ultron best movie yet? No, I don’t think so… Is it the most important movie to date in the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Yes, it is and more importantly it will be and that is exactly why I don’t think it is the best.

I enjoyed it, it was very entertaining, but it just seems like as a film it was trying to do too much.

The line between a film being a classic and a cult classic will sometimes blur as a film ages, but in respect to Animal House as the classic and arguably one of the best college movies ever created, PCU is a cult classic Animal House of the 90’s, brought about by the political and social climates of the time.

Even more amazing is that PCU is just as relevant in today’s political and social climates as it was when it was released back in 1994. When you think of all the things that have changed for colleges and universities, as well as America on the whole, it’s amazing how the more things change, the more they stay the same.
