Nick Mundy of IGN’s Watch Party: Game of Thrones & the Team Tiger Awesome pod joins us to review Avengers: Endgame. We enjoy our usual non-spoiler & spoiler formats with a musical interlude to warn you of the change. But we also pose a bunch of additional fun questions to Mr. Mundy along the way. Introducing our Special Guest: Nick Mundy! - :36 Theater Experiences/Expectations - 4:14 Animal Noises - 7:36 Production Values - 9:07 Performances - 16:48 Oscars Lens - 20:58 What Food is Endgame? - 27:38 Spoiler Warning Dance Music - 30:03 Old Man Make-Up + Time Traveling - 31:45 Emotional Scenes/Impacts (and some Baseball) - 34:12 Avengers, Assemble - 38:02 PLOTLINES: Act I: Starting Dark - 39:07 Act II: Dealing w/ Death - 43:52 (And Where Nick Thought The Plot Was Headed - 46:50) Act III: Battle Royale - 52:03 (Awesome Women + How We Need More From Marvel - 56:40) Coping w/ Emotions - 58:06 What We Want to See Next From Marvel - 1:00:53 Nick’s Social Media/Words of Wisdom - 1:04:09 Nick Mundy’s appearances on Conan, his sketch comedy for CollegeHumor, and his great work in TV & Film has made him one of our favorite comedians. So it’s an absolute thrill to get him on the show to help us review Avengers: Endgame. We follow some of our usual formatting. In the non-spoiler section, we discuss our theater going experiences, the production values, performances, the script, and how it all should result in red carpets for this movie in our Oscar Lens. But we also have a blast working in some fun extra questions. Instead of a teaser review, we ask Nick how he’d discuss Avengers using only animal noises. Rather than completing the non-spoiler section with final thoughts, we ask each other if the film is food, what kind of food would it be? So when the spoiler section begins, we stick with our formula of equal parts analysis & ridiculousness. Bottom Line: we have fun talking to Nick Mundy about one of our favorite film going experiences in a long damn time. Yes, we discuss all our bests & worsts from the plot, and we break down some of the film’s coolest easter eggs along the way. But Mundy also admits whether or not he cried & how he ranks the thrills of the movie up with some of the best moments of his sports fandom. We compare the Awards Season with the sports world & dive into a hypothetical discussion on how pundits should cover the Oscars in non-spoilers. Then we add more substance to the conversation as we refute some of the common criticisms of Endgame before we praise the themes & statements made during that incredible finale. As usual, it’s equal parts seriousness & silliness, and we’re thrilled to find a kindred spirit in one of OUR heroes in Nick Mundy.
