Excited about The Avengers? Afraid it’s going to be crap? Don’t care, but love superheroes? Look no further than Marvel Month, where Alcohollywood reviews and creates drinking games for the five superhero movies of the characters soon to join forces in The Avengers!
This week on Alcohollywood, we team up with our good friend (and Price of Admission host) Rachel Evans to finish up Marvel Month with Joe Johnston's return to kitschy, pulpy World War II-era comic book adventure with Captain America: The First Avenger! One of the more uneven films in the Marvel cinematic universe, we follow scrawny Steve Rogers in his journey from a brave, but stupid scrawny guy to a brave, but stupid completely ripped guy, whose pecs apparently secrete a sheen of glistening oil. The film also stars Hugo Weaving doing his best Werner Herzog impression as The Mask, a perpetually tired-of-this-shit Tommy Lee Jones, and some guy with a huge moustache.
The film's got a great pedigree, and we do love alternate-history pulpy World War II movies, so what do we think of Band of Brothers with Superheroes? Check out our review and drinking game here, and let us know what you think in the comments below!

Just in time for Thor's Day, Marvel Month continues as we take the Bifrost to Asgard and drink to Thor, Kenneth Branagh's superhero movie about the Norse god-turned-regular-guy-turned-god-again! Along with his friends Natalie Portman and the Ren Faire Gang (NOTE: the movie beats us to this joke), the meathead Thor tackles sheet-metal robots, treacherous Frost Giants and the deadly quips of an unwelcome Kat Dennings. Luckily, we've got some mead and a drinking game to get you through this latest Avengers tie-in - give us a listen and check out our rules!

This week, Marvel Month continues with the Edward Norton version of The Incredible Hulk! Completely stylistically divorced from the 2003 Ang Lee disaster, this movie replaces the often-obtuse but intriguing character explorations of the previous film the most straightforward, inoffensive comic book movie you could imagine. You may not end up reexamining your daddy issues, but you'll have a fun, breezy ride, if that's what you're looking for. Co-starring a perpetually fish-lipped Liv Tyler and a CG-cartoon-muscled Tim Roth, The Incredible Hulk is by no means incredible, but it's fairly entertaining. In the meantime, sit back, make yourself a couple of smoothies, and Hulk out to our review and drinking game!

This week, we’re starting with a double feature of the two Iron Man movies, directed by Jon Favreau and starring Robert Downey Jr. as charismatic playboy/inventor/perpetually dying Tony Stark. Iron Man proved to a world enamored with brooding superheroes (e.g. Nolan’s Batman) that you could successfully do a fun, lighthearted superhero movie, and Iron Man 2 proved that you could really mess up a good formula by shoehorning spinoff material into your main plot. Either way, both movies have their good and bad points, both of which we cover in this episode!
