Marvel once again marks the arrival of the summer movie season with the appearance of Tony Stark, this time fighting a reliance on his armor as well as a radical terrorist threat known as the Mandarin. The boys are, unfortunately, fighting each other a little on this one as well: Paul is firmly in the pro-Iron Man 3 camp, while AJ remains mixed. Is Iron Man 3 a Shane Black movie instead of a superhero movie? What position does this installment's ballsier choices leave the character in? Is there a reason Ben Kingsley's Mandarin voice is so fucking awful? The answers to these questions and more will be found by enduring this thing we call an episode. Next: the moment has arrived. Paul and AJ will once again torment themselves with a potentially (nay, probably) awful movie...Michael Bay's Pain & Gain.
