In this episode, co-host Marlis Schweitzer continues to investigate the institutional structures that prop up Shakespeare in Canada, reflecting on the way Canadian ideas of Shakespeare have been informed by British and American cultural products, including film and television. She speaks with guests about their experiences of seeing productions of Shakespeare's works in London and Stratford, England as well as their early encounters with the films of Kenneth Branaugh, most notably Henry V and Hamlet. Taking up questions of casting and celebrity, some interviewees recall Keanu Reeves appearance as Hamlet in the 1995 production at the Manitoba Theatre Centre, while others consider the impact of Paul Gross's television series Slings and Arrows.  This episode features conversations with Sturla Alsväg, Roberta Barker, Raoul Bhaneja, Karen Fricker, Jeff Ho, Stephen Johnson, Erin Kelly, Peter Kuling, Peter Parolin, Elizabeth Pentland, Jamie Robinson, Allyson MacMachon, Sara Topham.

From 2014As the opening weekend of the Thor film approached Joe Quesada joins us for a candid look at his position as Chief Creative Officer at Marvel. We talk about how the position has changed since Avi Arad had the title 10 years ago, and the lessons learned from the Marvel films of the last 10 plus years. Joe tells us why Kenneth Branaugh is a great collaborative director , how Robert Downey Jr has influenced Tony Stark's persona in comics and animation. Plus we explore questions regarding the monthly comic products. Have we reached a price ceiling at 3.99 for a 22 page comic? How will the conversion to digital effect the price point of single chapters and the current 5-6 part structure of story arcs? Can Marvel take a longer gestation risk on a new ongoing title beyond the store order numbers of a first issue? We also discuss the Marvel Television projects. From the animated Ultimate Spider-Man to live action projects like Jessica Jones, and the challenges of bringing spandex clad heroes to the small screenThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3143082/advertisement

Despite making $360 million dollars and being loved and reviled in equal measure, sometimes I feel like Christopher Nolan's spy-meets-time-travel hard sci-fi epic TENET doesn't exist. The movie came out in the deepest of COVID, and even among those who saw it, more than half were put off by its (at times) unintelligible dialogue and convoluted plot. It has had a few returns to movie theater since, and is available on physical media and digital media, but isn't among his most celebrated or most visible works. But at this moment, in the summer of 2023, it feels like it exists even more than ever. With OPPENHEIMER in movie theaters and enjoying massive success, more and more people seem to be talking about TENET. I'm a big fan. And I wanted to talk about it with another big fan.On this episode, I'm talking to NYMag film critic Bilge Ebiri. Bilge has spent the summer writing and talking about OPPENHEIMER, and his work really brings us into the world of the making of a new classic.We talk about TENET, and- OPPENHEIMER, and how they are speaking to each other. We also talk about Kenneth Branaugh (the best), the anxiety of parenting, Turkish history, how every scene in TENET is the best scene in the movie, and a lot more. We also reveal the secret agenda of this podcast episode: to get TENET re-released in 70mm iMax.Oh, yea, and DARK KNIGHT RISES. It rules. If you want more Bilge on this feed, scroll back to our episode on Akira Kurosawa's masterful HIGH AND LOW. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Will Smith, at the height of his powers, encounters a production that not even his voluminous charisma can salvage. He turned down the role of Neo in The Matrix to do this movie! Sam and Brett join to talk about the lazy and horrible race/gender jokes, and we debate the issue of whether Kenneth Branaugh's Arliss Loveless is the best or the worst part of this movie. Is he doing the BEST acting? He's certainly doing the MOST.

Shenko and Cyke discuss the pitfalls and tribulations of Kenneth Branaugh's "Thor," starring relative newcomers Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston!

In this minute of Joe Johnston's 2011 film ‘Captain America: The First Avenger,' Andy and Pete talk about their first experiences with the movie and character, as well as threading the needle.

This week on The First Run, Chris and Matt discuss the latest Ryan Reynolds / Shaw Levy team up, ‘The Adam Project'. After the success of ‘Free Guy', the two return for a sci-fi actioner for Netflix featuring Reynolds' unending, some say unbearable, charm, drama, romance, and thrills! But does it end the drought of the star's lack luster Netflix produced content? Then it's on the Kenneth Branaugh's Best Picture contender, ‘Belfast'. The family drama set during the clashes in the Irish town as Jamie Dornan and his family struggle to survive and do what's right. There's the luxurious rundown of the big releases on Physical Media, featuring the Streaming and Straight to DVD Picks of the Week. The show then closes as Matt and Chris continue the Countdown of their 50 Favorite Films as we inch closer to episode 600.

Minute One Hundred Fifteen: From Legends to Loki's Puppetry In the one hundred fifteenth minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... “Legend tells us one thing, history another.” What the hell is Fury actually saying here? Is this just a line that's meant to sound cool? It's not that clear when taken by itself. And then we have the Tesseract set up in some sort of case that makes it look like a bomb. What the heck? Why introduce it to us like this? It's very confusing. Does this mean Steve's awake now? No, we've gone through the timeline and he's definitely still frozen. This may be the first time Nick Fury smiles in the MCU. But then Loki shows up. As a reflection. So that means he's invisible? How long has he been tailing Erik? Or was he drawn here by the Tesseract itself? None of this makes that much sense. But Loki ain't looking that good, so at least there are signs he's been flying through space for a very long time. It's not one of our favorite post-credits scenes, but it works well enough. It's Whedon's frustrating dip into nonsense to end this season. Tune in!

Minute One Hundred Fourteen: From Thor Will Return to Erik Is Confused In the x minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... We kick the minute off with ‘Thor Will Return in The Avengers.' How far in advance did they know? Erik's reaction to this hallway is funny because we agree – it seems like he's down here to be killed. Nick Fury is so enigmatic. Does he always need to be? Is that just his MO? We're a bit bothered that it's not Jane here. Fury's impressed with Selvig's science? What about Jane's? Couldn't they have at least written a line in here to have it make sense they go for Erik, not Jane? It's funny that everything that happened in this movie is now being called simply ‘The New Mexico Situation.' What's going on with Fury and Selvig in this minute? Plotting and planning for a future film, of course! Tune in! Join the conversation with movie lovers from around the world on The Next Reel's Discord channel!

Minute One Hundred Thirteen: From Actual Roto to Fictitious Warnings In the one hundred thirteenth minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... If we did some recasting, what would we change? We talk again about music supervision and why it matters as much in this film as it does in something like Guardians of the Galaxy. Location, location, location. How about the locations for this movie? We run through the names in the special thanks, as well as some of the other places that were thanked. Ever wonder why there's that legal disclaimer at the end of movies? We found out and discuss it! And we have some fun credits statistics! Yes, fun and statistics were just in the same sentence.

Minute One Hundred Twelve: From Creature TDs to Stereoscopic Artists In the one hundred twelfth minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... We talk about how our appreciation for the film has grown after watching and exploring it this way. We also talk about some stand-out performances that really clicked for us. So many VFX artists. We continue talking about each of the FX companies and what they did on the film. We talk about Fuel VFX and the work they did. What is Luma Pictures and what do they bring to the party? (Hint: he's big, he's all metal, and he's ready to destroy.) How about Evil Eye Pictures? Turns out they help with adding in crowds for Thor's coronation. Then there's Whiskeytree, who created most of the Asgard exteriors. And of course Stereo D, LLC, which did the post 3D conversion. Remember when that was a thing?

Minute One Hundred Eleven: From Paint Foreman to Lighting Lead In the one hundred eleventh minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... What were our overall thoughts? We each discuss our favorite parts of the movie, along with areas we'd change. It's hard to believe but that damn Foo Fighters song is still playing... What do all these drivers do on a film? Only two first aid medics for New Mexico's production unit? Does that seem right? What exactly is a flame artist? We talk through the three VFX companies that pop up in this minute – The Third Floor, BUF, and Digital Domain – and what they did in this movie. We also dig into the Marvel Studios team, specifically the creative committee above Feige. It's credits credits credits with Matthew and Andy. Tune in!

Minute One Hundred Ten: From Fourteen Production Assistants to the New Mexico Greensman/1st Utility Standby Foreman Joining us to discuss this minute is Paul Hoppe, aka ZenMadman. In the one hundred tenth minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... So many assistants! What do they all do? Speaking of assistants, where are the assistants of the big producers now?

Minute One Hundred Eight: From Kenneth Branagh to Patrick Bareis Joining us to look at so many names and talk about Foo Fighters is Paul Hoppe, aka ZenMadman. In the one hundred eighth minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... We have the unfortunate musical transition from Patrick Doyle's majestic themes to Foo Fighters' Walk. It's a tough shift. Seriously, we know the song was in the movie, but did it have to be here too? It doesn't fit the mood at all! More names to discuss including Andy Nelson! Not the show host – the other one!

In the one hundred seventh minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... We continue the journey through Yggdrasil and lo and behold end up back in that upside down Asgard we saw at the start of the film. You know, with the crystal mountain peaks on the underside. While we fly through the cosmos, we see more and more big names. Some technical departments but also the top level of the actors. It's credits fun with Paul Hoppe. Tune in!

A little late, but we review the new Liam Neeson flick "Blacklight" and also Kenneth Branaugh's "Death on the Nile". Our movie of the week is one that is out this weekend. Rock out to the insanity that is "Studio 666".

Minute One Hundred Six: From A Smith Motors Goodbye to Patrick Doyle in Space Joining us to discuss the ending of the movie proper is Paul Hoppe aka ZenMadman. In the one hundred sixth minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... Darcy's looking for her taser. Just seems like Darcy. Jane gives us a funny look directly into camera. What's with breaking the fourth wall here? Is the camera meant to be Heimdall's view? There's a deleted scene where Erik works with SHIELD agents on some simulations using the Foster Theory. Meanwhile, Jane and Darcy set up some sort of Yggdrasil flashlight to provide a beacon for Thor... or something. It's a bit nonsensical. It's a picture wrap on Natalie Portman as Jane and Kat Dennings as Darcy. And kind of a picture wrap on Stellan Skarsgård as Erik... at least in the main content of the film. Thor pines for Jane... but it's oddly a profile shot of him. Why this angle? It's a picture wrap on Chris Hemsworth! He didn't do too bad, eh? The credits begin. We discuss the swirling constellations, nebulae, and other celestial objects that we fly by and through on our way from Midgard to Asgard through this version of Yggdrasil. It's pretty cool and makes for a great credit sequence. But other MCU films have done it better. The big names start scrolling by. We talk about a handful of them.

Minute One Hundred Five: From Father & Son to Scientists Three Joining us to close out his week with us as we talk about Thor, Odin, and the Scientists Three is Will Freeland, host of the Hype Is My Superpower podcast! In the one hundred-fifth minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... Again, that look from Odin as he talks with Thor. There's a lot Anthony Hopkins gives us to talk about as we read what he's thinking as Thor says he hopes to make him proud one day. That beautiful moment between them though as he says he's already made him proud? So good. Then Thor's off to bug Heimdall about his new girlfriend. Apparently without an Observatory, Heimdall just stands here now. Interestingly, and perhaps intentionally, this looks much more like how Heimdall was stationed in the comics. Thor asks Heimdall if he can see Jane and Heimdall scoffs. Haven't you heard about this guy's eyes, Thor? This conversation is shot in an interesting way where you never see their mouths. Were they writing and rewriting this dialogue right up until the end? It's a nice, fluid bit of camerawork though that leads us out into space off the end of the broken rainbow bridge. That's a picture wrap on Heimdall! Well, at least his appearance. We'll still hear him in the next minute. We're getting ready to wrap things up and Will Freeland helps us with it. Tune in!

Minute One Hundred Four: From ‘How Is He?' to ‘A Lot to Learn' Joining us to discuss missing mortals and fathers & sons is Will Freeland from Hype Is My Superpower. In the one hundred-fourth minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... Sif and Frigga have a bonding conversation about Thor and how mopey he is. We don't see them talk. Just hear them talk while Thor walks alone through a mighty Asgardian hall toward his father. Because of that, it's easy to confuse who asks how he is and who answers. It's interesting that Frigga asks Sif about Thor, but then again, it makes sense. She's one of his best friends. Romantic possibilities aside, they do share a bond so it works. What do we think about Sif's response? Well, it makes sense that she recognizes him missing Midgard, but her comment about Jane is kinda funny. Sure, he misses her, but to call her out for being a mortal is odd. Yes, Jane is a mortal, but Sif almost makes it sound a bit dirty. Like she's embarrassed he's made that choice. Regardless, that's all we get from them and it's a picture wrap on Jaimie Alexander and Rene Russo in the movie! Thor ends up with Odin, who solemnly looks out over Asgard from a balcony in profile. The double profile shot is in interesting one, and certainly something we'll see similarly next week. Thor and Odin talk about being king and being a father. Odin says Thor will be a wise king and Thor's reply is that there will never be a wiser king than him. But hasn't Odin shown himself to be a fairly terrible father? Odin's reaction, though, is a look that can be read a few ways. Does he recognize that he's made a lot of unwise decisions in his life? Still, Thor also says there will never be a better father. Really? After everything we've seen? At the very least, at least Thor recognizes he's got a lot more to learn. And that's a picture wrap on Anthony Hopkins as Odin! Frigga and Sif talk. Thor and Odin talk. And we talk with will Freeland. Tune in! Join the conversation with movie lovers from around the world on The Next Reel's Discord channel!

Minute One Hundred Three: From A Quiet Asgard to a Quiet Queen Joining us to say goodbye to the Warriors Three is Will Freeland from the Hype Is My Superpower podcast. In the one hundred-third minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... We're back to Asgard but the streets seem empty now. Is everyone feasting? It feels a bit like an early model to showcase what they could do. Then again, the empty streets fit the music. In the dining hall, we see Asgardians happily eating. Then we cut in to see Volstagg telling a tale of fighting the Destroyer while Fandral gives him grief. But why didn't we see this table in the wide shot? It's a bit odd the way these cut together. Regardless, Volstagg's tale is fun. Interesting and unfortunate that we don't get to spend much time hearing it as his dialogue is a bit buried under Patrick Doyle's melancholic theme. It makes sense – we're here with Thor who is mourning. It's just a bummer that this is the last we see of the Warriors Three in this movie. Thor walks off, sad and lonely. Sif notices. Have we had enough of her pining in this film? It feels like there could've been a bit more. Thor briefly holds his mother's hand as they comfort each other before he walks off. We like this beat. Makes us really want more of Rene Russo. Sif rises and meets Frigga as the two watch Thor walk off. It's a sad moment and Sif acknowledges Frigga's loss of Loki. It's interesting that Frigga says nothing but puts her hand on Sif's shoulder. It's very comforting, particularly as this small gesture from a queen toward one of her subjects can be seen as such a monumental moment. As mentioned above, this is picture wrap for Ray Stevenson, Tadanobu Asano, and Josh Dallas as Volstagg, Hogun, and Fandral. It's a shame they won't get much to do in the next two Thor films. It's a moment of goodbyes and finding comfort with Will Freeland. Tune in! Join the conversation with movie lovers from around the world on The Next Reel's Discord channel!

It is still cold in February but get all warm and cozy by the host's voices. After their normal rigmarole they get into Amazon Prime's newest rom-com I Want You Back starring Charlie Day and Jenny Slate. Then, after a particularly robust news segment, they talk Kenneth Branaugh's(or depending how you look at it, Agatha Christie's) Death on The Nile starring Kenneth Branaugh himself, Gal Gadot, the disgraced Armie Hammer and a ton of others.

Minute One Hundred Two: From The Mourning Scientists Three to The Shrouded Underside of Asgard Joining us to discuss the broken connection between Asgard and Midgard is Will Freeland from the Hype Is My Superpower podcast. In the one hundred-second minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... It's a low shot looking at the back of the scientists three for almost this full minute. What a calm, melancholic way to end this chapter and connection. We tip our hats to Mr. Branagh! Darcy does some great fidgeting with her hair and hat and face before heading back to the Pinzgauer. And by the way, it's a little odd at first seeing them walk away toward seeming empty desert until you realize, oh, duh – the Pinzgauer's just over there. Erik gives Jane a look that says he gets it, but smartly doesn't say anything. We cut to a dutch slightly overhead angle of Jane and her face just seems... a bit off. Something about her incredibly long lashes and the way the angle makes her eyebrows jut up. Still, it's Natalie Portman and she's ever so beautiful. So Jane walks away too. Patrick Doyle's music stirs the emotions and tugs at the heartstrings here. So beautiful! Why wasn't he asked to do more in the MCU? The camera slowly floats up into the sky and lo and behold! — We're suddenly moving through the cosmos and are looking at the cloud-covered bottom of Asgard. It makes it seem almost like they could jump up and hit their heads on it but we get it – it's cinematic shortcuts to really connect these two locations. We like it. It's a surprisingly quiet, peaceful, melancholic minute as Jane, Darcy, and Erik acknowledge that they may never see their space friend again. It's a sad minute! Will Freeland mourns with us and the Scientists Three today. Tune in! Join the conversation with movie lovers from around the world on The Next Reel's Discord channel!

Minute One Hundred One: From Two Brothers' Fall to One Erik's Back Joining us to discuss Loki's last minute in the movie proper is Will Freeland from the Hype Is My Superpower podcast. In the one hundred-first minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... Heimdall's Observatory collapses in pieces and gets sucked into space by... what is it? Is the Bifrost energy creating some sort of vortex? It's even pulling in some distant nebulae. Loki's fall is terrific. He's got a wailing scream that just seems the sort of scream you'd wail if falling to possible doom. So Thor grabs the end of Gungnir, which Loki's holding, thereby keeping him from falling. But what was his plan from there? To fall into space together then maybe summon Mjølnir to bring them home? Good thing their father, Odin the Allfather, woke up just in time to catch Thor by the ankle! How did he get here so quickly? Loki pitches to his dad that he could've done it and been the victor. Odin's response leaves us plenty to talk about. Perhaps get the boys up on the bridge before this talk? Loki's face goes dark and he drops into the void of space. Again, where? How is this vortex thing working? And why? And just because he's Asgardian, does that mean he can breathe out there as well? Thor says his only words here, and it's to call out to his brother. Interesting that Loki never interacts with him in this scene. And that's a picture wrap (sort of) for Tom Hiddleston as Loki! Okay, so he's coming back in the post-credits scene, but that's kinda its own thing, right? What's up with the mysterious back of a man who looks very much like Erik back on Midgard? We'll find out in tomorrow's minute! It's the tragic death of Loki. Or is it? Will Freeland's here for the conversation. Tune in!

Minute One Hundred: From Thor's Decision to the Destruction of the Himinbjorg Joining us to discuss Thor's sacrifice and the end of Heimdall's Observatory is Dr. Arnold Blumberg, publisher, author, educator, pop culture & comics historian, and friendly neighborhood zombie expert. In the one hundredth minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... Loki's reaction to Thor's decision to destroy the bridge is fantastic, like he really didn't believe Thor would act. To that end, it's interesting that Loki was the only person who had thought about using the Bifrost this way. Perhaps it's that thinking outside the box that Loki did that inspired Thor to make the decision he makes? Part of this is Thor making the heroic sacrifice. Does that make the most sense here? Is there a selfish element here? Doesn't Bifrost connect all the Realms and by severing it, Thor's disconnecting all of them from each other for some woman he just met a few days ago? So the consequence is that this will affect them from getting to all nine realms, but there's also a read that all nine realms – or at least Jotunheim and Asgard – could be destroyed by this explosive use of Bifrost. So maybe Thor is asking Jane to forgive him while doing it as a way to save her and everyone else. As the Observatory breaks down and falls, the Bifrost blast continues shooting out into space. Is it hitting other planets as it shakes around? Why does Odin's eye open after that first hammer strike on the bridge? Loki's leap toward Thor with Gungnir works well, and it's great how it's timed with the explosion to blow them both back. The smashing of the rainbow bridge is so well designed. Everything about it looks perfect. The explosion looks and sounds great. We get a great shot of it on the edge of Asgard and how this looks, even if we don't really understand the floating island in space. It's an explosive minute and Dr. Blumberg joins us to discuss it all. Tune in! Join the conversation with movie lovers from around the world on The Next Reel's Discord channel!

Minute Ninety-Nine: From Dozens of Lokis to One Last Taunt Joining us to discuss Loki's magic, Thor's plan, and the slow destruction of the Bifrost is Dr. Arnold Blumberg, publisher, author, educator, pop culture & comics historian, and friendly neighborhood zombie expert. In the ninety-ninth minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... It's so cool seeing so many Lokis here. Equally cool is having Thor bring the lightning to destroy them all, leaving just the one Loki. And Branagh's use of the god's eye view shot here is perfect. The sound effects are so perfect for the bridge. (Really through the entire film.) We revel in how great everyone works so well in this scene fully creating such a full, rich world for us because we actually buy into it all. Is there some element that bringing Kenneth Branagh on to direct this gives us so much of that coming from his stage background? We also really love having heroes that aren't simply trying to kill their enemies. Putting the hammer on Loki's chest is a perfect way to stop Loki. It's interesting how slippery they make the bridge look now. It feels very dangerous how it sucks Thor toward it. With the debris getting sucked in from the nearby architecture, it seems a bit that this use of Bifrost could perhaps destroy Asgard as well. It's even sucking in nearby nebulae. It's great how Loki continues needling Thor with his words here. But it's also all that he's left with. The Mighty Thor finally gets referenced! Could Thor actually find a way inside to break the ice structure? It's close to the end of the battle between our hero and his brother, and Dr. Blumberg's here for it. Tune in!

Minute Ninety-Eight: From An Aerial Assault to A Low Blow Joining us to discuss the fighty-fighty fight is Dr. Arnold Blumberg, publisher, author, educator, pop culture & comics historian, and friendly neighborhood zombie expert. In the ninety-eighth minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... We debate the power of fights in these types of movies. Is there more they could do? Thor and Loki leaping at each other has a Big Trouble in Little China vibe. In context of all these fights, this one lands a bit in the middle. Not the best, not the worst. We walk through a few shots just to better understand what's happening. Because Loki wields Gungnir during this fight, does that give him the fighting power he needs to match against Thor? Otherwise, why doesn't he use more of his cunning style of fighting? Spinning on a spear? That doesn't seem like Loki. It just seems like such a physical fight for Loki. But he is pouring all of his rage from a lifetime against Thor. And Thor does say he won't fight his brother, so perhaps he's also holding back a bit. How low a blow is it for Loki to bring Jane into it? Thor blasts Loki through the wall of the Observatory. Loki falls off the edge, grabbing on at the last minute. He begs Thor to help him. Thor does, and Loki disappears. Turns out, this was all Loki's magic to trick his brother. This is a perfect example of how we expect Loki to fight. It makes more sense than the other type of fighting. Thor falls for his brother's trick and gets stabbed for it. So great seeing all the Lokis appear. What an expression of ego! Makes so much sense for him. Does Thor knocking them both through the wall start the Observatory to break down and potentially destroy Asgard as well? It's the required MCU fighty fight and Dr. Arnold Blumberg's here for it. Tune in! Join the conversation with movie lovers from around the world on The Next Reel's Discord channel!

Minute Ninety-Seven: From Thor's Defense to Loki's Taunting Joining us to discuss all the fraternal drama is Dr. Arnold Blumberg, publisher, author, educator, pop culture & comics historian, and friendly neighborhood zombie expert. In the ninety-seventh minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... Loki wants to be heir to the throne. How strong of a plan is this though? Would his plan have worked if Thor hadn't shown up? Why is he still following through with his plan now that Thor's shown up to stop him? And what did he say to Frigga before he left for the Observatory? As we pointed out before, it's largely because he's operating from a point of emotion, not intellect. Loki fights so differently here. Instead of throwing knives and using cunning, he's facing off with Thor like Thor's counterpart. Was that a mistake? We pine for more great Marvel villains like this. Loki's argument provides some great metaphors that apply to issues today. It's interesting to look at the perspective on genocide. Thor had started a war earlier and killed plenty of Jotuns. Loki is doing the same in a different way. So it's interesting to see how Thor's changed through this conversation. Loki's threat to go after Jane feels a little off here. But there is an aspect to it that implies Loki is just saying things to get Thor to stop preventing the Bifrost from destroying Jotunheim. Thor doesn't want to fight, so what does he think of Loki taking two swipes at him with Gungnir? So much really goes back to the conversation Odin had with the two brothers when they were kids. Was it just through his Destroyer-cam that Loki knows about Jane? It's the big, bad, battle of words before the battle of brawn commences, and Dr. Arnold Blumberg joins us for it all. Tune in!
