AC/DC

Made films the shows talk about.

Counted as composer, the making department they hold the most credits in. The films the hosts said they scored, which the two lists below run through too: Iron Man (2008); Iron Man 2 (2010).

Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Hancock (2008): 1 line

  1. industry (industry) · through Iron Man 2 (2010), which they scored: Hancock ⇒ Iron Man 2 (the host's read). The Demon in a Bottle alcoholism arc was dodged partly because Hancock had already done a drinking superhero two months after the first Iron Man.
    “Because Hancock comes out. 2 months after the 1st Iron Man.”

RoboCop (2014): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Iron Man (2008), which they scored: RoboCop ⇒ Iron Man (the host's read). The Ironmonger voice and suit recall ED-209, and the finale is ED-209 versus RoboCop.
    “You know what the voice is? He's Ed 209.”

Stan Lee: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Iron Man (2008), which they scored: Stan Lee ⇒ Iron Man (the maker said so: Stan Lee interviews). The film follows the first comic issue's origin; Lee wanted to make an industrialist war profiteer compelling to hippie kids.
    “here's like an industrialist, war profiteer, Laos, and make him like compelling to these, like, hippie kids.”

Iron Man 3 (2013): 3 lines

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Iron Man (2008), which they scored: Iron Man ⇒ Iron Man 3 (the host's read). The Iron Man trilogy is closed into a circle by the flashback to the party and Becca Hall and Pierce.
    “as individualistic as this movie is, it actually like... It's bringing the 1st 2 complete.”

  2. lineage (lineage) · through Iron Man 2 (2010), which they scored: Iron Man 2 ⇒ Iron Man 3 (the host's read). Iron Man 2's failure forced something new, giving Shane Black room to make a better third film.
    “But also, that is why the 3rd one is good because the 2nd one was such a mistake that they were like, we don't know.”

  3. theme (theme) · through Iron Man (2008), which they scored: Iron Man ⇒ Iron Man 3 (the host's read). Iron Man 3 later parodies the Osama-type Mandarin expectation that Iron Man originally planned (Ten Rings leader, no magic).
    “And then Iron Man 3 wisely parodies that expectation.”

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022): 1 line

  1. theme (character introduction) · through Iron Man 2 (2010), which they scored: Iron Man 2 ⇒ Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (the host's read). Van says the MCU has introduced characters inside other movies before, like Black Widow in Iron Man 2.
    “Black Widow makes her a parent, her 1st appearance.”
    The Big Picture · ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ Is Here! · 0:37:22 · Van Lathan (0.80 sure it was them)

Captain America: The First Avenger (2011): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Iron Man 2 (2010), which they scored: Iron Man 2 ⇒ Captain America: The First Avenger (the host's read). The Stark Expo of the 1940s is the origin of the Expo seen in Iron Man 2, now as the full World's Fair version.
    “Like what we see in Iron Man 2, but now it's like the full like 40s World Fair version.”

Ghostface Killah: 1 line

  1. people (people) · through Iron Man (2008), which they scored: Iron Man ⇒ Ghostface Killah (the host's read). Ghostface is the Wu-Tang member particularly obsessed with Iron Man, who is the avatar of many of his songs.
    “Iron Man is like the like his hero.”

Teen Titans Go! To the Movies (2018): 1 line

  1. craft (craft) · through Iron Man (2008), which they scored: Iron Man ⇒ Teen Titans Go! To the Movies (the host's read). That film parodies the page-flipping Marvel logo, which opens Iron Man.
    “They, uh, they do a really good parody of that in, um, Teen Titans go the movies.”

The Avengers (2012): 1 line

  1. industry (industry) · through Iron Man (2008), which they scored: Iron Man ⇒ The Avengers (the host's read). The post-credits Nick Fury scene established the shared-universe model that changed Hollywood for a decade or more.
    “I mean, this has changed the next 10 years of Hollywood filmmaking.”

modern superhero movies: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Iron Man (2008), which they scored: Iron Man ⇒ modern superhero movies (the host's read). Called the prototype format every later superhero film riffs on.

What the speakers said they did

Music (2) everyone in music

What was said about them, by kind

craft (1)

  1. craft (craft): Iron Man → AC/DC. Instead of an original hero theme, the score identity is the song Iron Man, which becomes a lot of AC/DC.
    “This is not a movie with a particularly recognizable theme, partly because they decide the theme should just be the song Iron Man.”
