TA041: Xanatos Gambit

Minute Forty One: From A Staff Pounding to A Lone VoiceFather David Mowry, chaplain of the movies by minutes community, joins us in this episode!
In the forty-first minute of The Avengers...Loki makes everyone kneel. In Germany. There’s certainly something that feels important about submission in that particular part of the world to us. But does Loki have any sense of this? Did he have to study Midgardian history at some point? Regardless, he’s got a great speech to the humans here in this courtyard, and we’re here for it. But why don’t any other police show up? Or news vans? It’s weirdly quiet and localized to just this group which makes this part of the film feel... small. Still... great speech. We get to talk about actor Kenneth Tigar who plays the old German man and his great retort to Loki’s speech. Plus, Father David brings a wonderful Christ and the Cape segment to the episode. Tune in!
