In this action-packed episode of IPC, the guys went back in time a bit to when Captain America: The Winter Soldier was released. Upon seeing it for the first time, Ben noted the brilliance of the tie-ins from a perspective not many have had. Due to having seen Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. before this film, he was able to notice how brilliantly everything flowed together, while still telling a different story in each place. The importance of plotlines staying together were the key to its success, Ben noted. Zac concurred, while noting that the movie could still be enjoyable on its own as well just because of the well-timed flashbacks.
Zac also enjoyed how Hydra's old saying of "Cut off one head, two more shall take its place" proved true in the place the world seemed to be the most secure. Adding that twist allowed for new parts of this Marvel world to be unlocked, without the focus being taken away from other stories coming up in the cinematic universe. For example: Age of Ultron is expected to follow Ultron alone, yet the opening battle sequence could involve the Avengers taking out another pocket of Hydra before taking on the big challenge.
Ben remarked how the climactic scene at the end was his favorite fight (of the many) in the movie, noting the action, original fight moves and use of The Falcon's equipment as his character was officially introduced to the Cinematic Universe.
Zac said he enjoyed the elevator scene with Cap against several Hydra members - noting a fight scene like that was original and somewhat plausible, thus keeping the audience interested no matter where the character goes.
Quote of the Night:
"This isn't the age of spies. This is not even the age of heroes. This is the age of miracles... and there's nothing more horrifying than a miracle." - Baron Wolfgang von Strucker, credits scene of CA:TWS
NEWS:
In other Marvel news, Latino Review released some new set photos, and Evangeline Lilly (Lost and The Hobbit) released a photo of her new haircut for the movie Ant Man.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. keep confirming cast members for what is lining up to be an amazing second season.
Adrianne Palicki (Friday Night Lights) has officially been cast as Bobbi Morse, also known as Mockingbird. Patton Oswalt's character revealed Mockingbird was to appear in a teaser at SDCC, but only recently was Palicki confirmed for the role.
Brian Patrick Wade has also been added to the cast list for Season 2, with the list showing he will be playing a character named Carl "Crusher" Creel, alter ego being Absorbing Man.
Quoted from the article: "With his ability to absorb the properties of anything he touches, Creel will put Coulson and his team through their paces..."
This seems to hint that Crusher will be one of the new villains in the season, but how often either of these characters will appear is still to be determined. Season 2 will debut September 23 on ABC.
In Star Wars news, Rebels has a release date officially announced as well. The series is set to air on Disney Channel October 3, with the premier for sale on DVD and Blu-Ray shortly thereafter. While we still have more than a month to go, the show has been releasing independent clips online to hint at things to come. Please bear in mind that "independent" means these segments will NOT be in the actual episodes, so it's better to catch them now (and probably more fun).
The First segment: The Machine in the Ghost.
The Second segment: Art Attack.
The Third segment (released 8/25/14): Entanglement.

Benedict Cumberbatch is looking to expand his acting prowess by taking another voice actor job (following up his role in The Penguins of Madagascar), going from canine to feline voicing Shere Khan in Jungle Book: Origins. A live-action film set to debut in October of 2016, Cumberbatch is also making a smooth transition from the character of Khan (Star Trek Into Darkness) to Shere Khan in this movie. The guys spent some time debating which came first, any ideas?
#BBQWatch
Ben asked a tough question on IPC on Saturday, wondering if BBQ should lean more on the dry side or wet side? In essence, how juicy do you like your BBQ, and how much sauce do you put on it? He noted that certain foods require a certain juiciness over other foods, and that it can be as much preference as it is preparation. When prepared with the intent to be dry, it can be seasoned really well to make up for it.
Zac said he usually has a decent amount of sauce on his BBQ, even if it's just to have something to clean up with using the rolls. He did say that if the food must be dry or without sauce, to try marinating the meat in the sauce itself so the meat absorbs the flavor.
