The first Avengers movie that released in 2012 is still one of our favorite movies of all time. It really holds up well. In an effort to continue a tradition that we started years ago, today's episode is our complete live audio commentary on this film. We recorded this while watching the movie at the same time and we think that's probably how you should listen to the episode as well. Make sure to hit play on the film exactly at the moment we countdown to. We'll be back with another episode like this one for Avengers: Age of Ultron soon!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/friends-from-work-an-unofficial-marvel-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
