Film Actually Ep084 – The Road To The Avengers

Hosts: David McVay & Josh Philpott

This week David & Josh do something a little different, with The Avengers about to hit cinemas, they decide to take a trip down memory lane and discuss the five films (Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger) leading up to the ultimate team up film. The usual format will return next week for a full review of Joss Whedon’s The Avengers. However, we couldn’t do a Film Actually without a brand new Lists of Five – Five Skippable Superhero Movies. Film Actually is the official movie podcast of geekactually.com.

The news section is now officially it’s own show called Film Actually News. Look for it on the feed because it is loud, fast and under thirty minutes… or your money back.
