That Film Stew Podcast

In this episode of Sounds Like Comics, we revisit Iron Man, the film that launched the Marvel Cinematic Universe and redefined the modern blockbuster. With Robert Downey Jr. delivering a career defining performance as Tony Stark, and Jon Favreau behind the camera, we break down what makes this origin story so enduring. From its sharp character work to its perfect balance of humour and heart, we explore why it still hits just as hard today and how it set the blueprint for everything that followed.
