Episode 7: Weapons and Violence in Iron Man and The Punisher

While the MCU isn’t necessarily known for being violent, weapons have a large role in the universe and its characters. Chris brings their former fellow Paste Magazine intern and ScreenRant writer Eric McAdams (@EdaciouslyYours), along with the usual team of Anthony and Izzy to discuss Iron Man and The Punisher in particular. Does the Tony Stark trilogy of films have anything worthwhile to say about the military industrial complex? Is Frank Castle an appropriate character in today’s age with the gun reform debate at a height?
