It's official--the Russo Brothers make real good Marvel movies. That's Jason's take after his second Captain America outing, 2016's Civil War [29:45]. Did Arco share a similar opinion of Robert Eggers after seeing his "obtuse" 2019 black and white two-hander, The Lighthouse [01:00]? You'll have to listen to find out.
