And we're moving right along with our BIG GUNS series as we make our way (eventually) to Captain America: Brave New World! The second film from our anchor in this MCU, Mr. Tony Stark. With Iron Man 2, this film didn't do much to wow us back then and the same holds true now. We feel like this is just a filler film to move us deeper into the MCU. But what do YOU think?
TRACKLIST:
5:47 - Geek of the Week - Jasmin: American Manhunt: OJ Simpson; Mark: Big Little Lies, season 1
