Episode #87 – Avengers: Infinity War

For one of the biggest Avengers movies ever, it’s only fitting that Perry is joined by one of the biggest Avengers fans ever. Van Allen Plexico—superhero and science fiction novelist, fellow podcaster, and founder of AvengersAssemble.net—returns to the show to talk about Infinity War. We discuss how much of a milestone the film was, the fun of seeing these characters interact onscreen for the first time, the film’s interpretation of Thanos compared to the comics, and a whole lot more!
