    Joining us today, it’s filmmaker and TruStory FM regular Tommy Metz III, director of ‘30 Nights of Sex to Save Your Marriage’.


    In the one-hundred-fortieth minute of The Avengers...

    We wrap up our time with Tommy continuing our discussions about various crew members in this minute of credits. Today, Andy talks about production assistant Peyton “Buck” Rodgers, Tommy discusses Rob Grosser’s important work in security for Marvel – a real world superhero! – and Pete brings a suit! Janet Lewin from Industrial Light & Magic. It’s a great conversation about some interesting people. Tune in!

    Minute One Hundred Thirty Nine: From The Two Suit Construction Supervisors to New York Unit Medic/Scheduling Richard Fellegara.

    Joining us today, it’s filmmaker and TruStory FM regular Tommy Metz III, director of ‘30 Nights of Sex to Save Your Marriage’.


    In the one-hundred-thirty-ninth minute of The Avengers...

    We dig deeper on a few names again here, and since the credits shift into the second units, that’s who we’re discussing. Andy talks about Meriwether Nichols in New Mexico’s costume department. Tommy chats about PA Ian Simon and how his career’s evolved. And Pete not only talks about his own moniker – Peter Wright – who pops up here, but also the strangely named family pair of Joe and Joey Bacharka as well as script supervisor Judi Townsend. So much to discuss! Tune in!

    We continue our march through the credits with Tommy. In today’s minute, we discuss in more depth makeup artist Heba Thorisdottir, the interesting job of Jodi Trippi (or is it Tripi?), and the costume work of Keith Muessigmann. We also have more mysteriously missing names! Tune in!

    In the one-hundred-thirty-seventh minute of The Avengers...

    We talk a bit about some of the structure of credits, and then instead of our usual quizzes and game show antics we do, we each pick one of the people listed in this minute and discuss them in a bit more depth. It makes for some interesting discussion and we get to know the crew that much more. Tune in!

    TA135: Who Made Up All Those Fake Things?

    TA135: Who Made Up All Those Fake Things?

    Minute One Hundred Thirty Five: From An Anti-Armor Missile in Iron Man’s Gauntlet to a Hole in Iron Man’s Chest

    Joining us today, it’s filmmaker and TruStory FM regular Tommy Metz III, director of ‘30 Nights of Sex to Save Your Marriage’.


    In the one-hundred-thirth-fifth minute of The Avengers...

    We’re finishing the special credits (thanks to Andrew Darowski’s kids for the nickname!) with Tommy. We chat through the various images we see and again try to figure out if there’s any rhyme or reason as to who gets which image, other than the six principals. It doesn’t make much sense. Would it have made more sense to go a different route so they would’ve had more options for characters like Hulk? 


    From there, we talk through each of the people listed and discuss some of their awards wins and nominations, along with some of our favorites of the films they’ve done. And lots of laughs. Tune in!

    TA 009: I’m a Little Stinker

    Minute Nine: From Loading Dock to Tunnel Destruction

    Joining us today, it’s filmmaker and TruStory FM regular Tommy Metz III, director of ‘30 Nights of Sex to Save Your Marriage’.


    In the ninth minute of The Avengers...

    The blocking bothers us a bit here. It feels rushed and doesn’t set up characters well in the space. Maria Hill’s entrance to the loading dock from a side door is almost completely missed, and the SHIELD agent turned by Loki completely disappears until he’s suddenly driving an Acura. And is it weird that it’s not until this minute that we get someone finally addressing Maria Hill by name so we finally know who she is? What a strange way to set her up. As for Loki, why is he acting so weakened here? Is the sceptre and mind stone somehow affecting him? Once we get into the tunnel chase, why does he blow up his agent’s car?


    We love the energy here, but the structure’s a bit of a struggle for us here. Tune in!

    Minute Eight: From A Chat About Ants & Boots to Team Loki Leaving the Runway

    Joining us on the show, it’s TruStory FM’s favorite son Tommy Metz III!

    In the eighth minute of The Avengers...

    This minute is all about the conversation between Loki and Nick Fury. It plays really well, and the two of them have some great lines. Some of them play quite funny, though, if you start thinking about possible comedic retorts. One of our issues arises, though, once Clint Barton, now under Loki’s mind control, starts talking about the swirling energy that’s about to bring the place down. It feels written, like they needed an out to just get everyone moving. But... couldn’t they have just shot Fury and walked out? The ticking time bomb that is this base feels a bit forced. Regardless, shooting Fury was a great surprise. Was there ever any sense that he might be dead?


    Lots to dig into this minute. Tune in!
