23 AUG 2023 · Minute One Hundred Forty Three: From The Final Climactic Beats in Alan Silvestri’s Amazing Theme to The Studio Logos... With a Little Stop at Shawarma Palace in BetweenMike Gravagno from The Superhero Show Show and Movie of the Year joins us in this episode! In the one-hundred-forty-third and final minute of The Avengers...The credits finally come to an end, but not before we get to talk about the MPAA film numbers. We also ponder when Dolby Atmos started up, and sure enough it was 2012. Not in time for this film unfortunately.  What we’re really here for, though, is shawarma. Shawarma Palace. This glorious post-credit sequence shifted the tone of post-credit sequences and allowed later filmmakers to be goofy with them from time to time. We’re fans. We talk about each of the characters and even reveal why Chris Evans is being so still throughout. Tune in!

22 AUG 2023 · Minute One Hundred Forty Two: From The Rest of the Visual Effects Thank You List to The Start of the Logos.The TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network’s own Justin Jaeger joins us in this episode! In the one-hundred-forty-second minute of The Avengers...We continue our journey through the credits. We get all 214 people who worked on the stereoscopic conversion for this film, which leads to a fun conversation about going to 3D movies. We talk a bit about the main title and the iconic Avengers logo. There’s also 20 people credited as helping with the celebration montage, which is cool. We talk about Alan Silvestri, about the four songs in the film, including one we completely missed when Tony and Pepper are first in Stark Tower. We talk a bit about the non-endorsement by NASA at the end, and we each pick one person to talk about. JJ picks Depth Lead Katherine Rodtsbrooks (now Katherine Renee Jones) who was involved in the 3D conversion. Pete picks Craig Kyle, a comic book artist and executive producer given special thanks. Andy picks Steve Boeddecker, a sound designer at Skywalker Sound. Lots of great conversation! Tune in!

21 AUG 2023 · Minute One Hundred Forty One: From The 34 Lighting TDs•Shader Writers at Weta Digital to The First Six of the Visual Effects ThanksThe TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network’s own Steve Sarmento joins us in this episode! In the one-hundred-forty-first minute of The Avengers...We’re knee deep in credits for the visual effects teams who worked on this movie. We look at how many people are credited with each team here, and then we jump into our names that we each picked. Steve picked the brothers Greg and Colin Strause, who run [hy*drau”lx], which spurs on a chat about the world of VFX right now, particularly with the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes going on. From there, Andy talks about Joel Gerlach who worked as a VFX artist at Luma Pictures on this film, but has since gone on to create his own VFX company. Pete closes things out with a chat about Michael Corcoran, but we’re still not sure where he’s actually credited in this film. Regardless, he worked on creature effects, so we assume that means the Chitauri? Or maybe he was responsible for the exploding leviathan eyeball! And where would we be if we didn’t bring up Soundgarden one last time? Tune in! Join the conversation with movie lovers from around the world on https://discord.com/invite/yW72E6M!

Andy talks about Meriwether Nichols in New Mexico’s costume department. Tommy chats about PA Ian Simon and how his career’s evolved.

In the one-hundred-thirty-sixth minute of The Avengers...We end the special credits with the director’s name, which gives us a chance to dig into Joss Whedon’s career a bit and our thoughts on him, and we only call him Tig Notaro a few times! After that, we transition to Sanctuary and find The Other monologuing to the back of a throne. Why are they here? Is this Thanos’ thinking spot? We spend a bit of time breaking down The Other’s line, and then we get into the appearance of Thanos, aka Man No. 1. That means we get to break down Damion Poitier a bit as well as he portrayed him here. It’s a great conversation really breaking this mid-credits scene down, what it meant at the time, Death’s role possibly in the franchise after this, and where it took us. Tune in!

11 AUG 2023 · Minute One Hundred Thirty Five: From An Anti-Armor Missile in Iron Man’s Gauntlet to a Hole in Iron Man’s ChestJoining us today, it’s filmmaker and TruStory FM regular Tommy Metz III, director of ‘30 Nights of Sex to Save Your Marriage’. In the one-hundred-thirth-fifth minute of The Avengers...We’re finishing the special credits (thanks to Andrew Darowski’s kids for the nickname!) with Tommy. We chat through the various images we see and again try to figure out if there’s any rhyme or reason as to who gets which image, other than the six principals. It doesn’t make much sense. Would it have made more sense to go a different route so they would’ve had more options for characters like Hulk?  From there, we talk through each of the people listed and discuss some of their awards wins and nominations, along with some of our favorites of the films they’ve done.

10 AUG 2023 · Minute One Hundred Thirty Four: From A Big A to Iron Man’s PalmAndrew Darowski from Disney Animation Minute Essentials and Joe Darowski from the Protagonist Podcast join us in this episode! In the one-hundred-thirty-fourth minute of The Avengers...We finish pulling out of the broken windows at Stark Tower, finding just the A left in the STARK signage out here. We also get a small WHOOSH right when we pass the A, as if to tell us that it’s something we need to notice. We talk about ideas like this, who decides them, and how they end up in here. We finish our chat about Tony and Pepper and whatever it is they’re doing with their hologram of the building blueprint. Did you notice the quinjet in it? It’s pretty cool.  As promised, today is our conversation looking at the alternate ending with Maria Hill closing out her questioning by the World Security Council. It’s a bit awkward and way too long. While it gives us the rest of the bit of Hill that we’ve been enjoying develop since those opening moments and would’ve been great to give that extra bit of character development to Cobie Smulders, it really does feel unnecessary in the end. But maybe that’s because it’s so long and has such clunky dialogue. And we’re done! It’s time for credits. Andrew says his kids call this section the ‘special credits,’ so we’ll adopt that from them. We briefly discuss some of the team here that’s new to the MCU, but largely we talk about the art that comes with these special credits. Why is Cap so dominant throughout, to the point where we’re getting the buckle on the back of his shield and his torn and damaged shoulder of his costume featured? Black Widow’s only featured once? Some of the items are cool to look at, but it’s a strange set of choices they used as the featured elements from our heroes. Not to mention Iron Man takes forever to show up and Hulk doesn’t even appear by the time this minute ends. What gives? It’s all interesting and worth thinking about. Tune in!
