Episode 22 - Iron Man 3 Movie Review

Man, is it good to be back in the world of Marvel’s early continuity.  This week we head back to 2013 for the third and (so far last) solo Iron Man film.  Iron Man 3 has a plot taken directly from the comics, and story elements that caused more than a few complaints from long time fans.  It is one of the most interesting, and one of the most polarizing, of the early Marvel films.
