[♪ INTRO MUSIC PLAYING [♪

Hello and welcome to this very special episode of Sacred Cinema Join Me as Always.

She doesn't want to join your Super-Siegher boy band, it's Jamie Golden.

So today, you guys, we're going to deep dive Iron Man to the fourth film in the chronological Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Sacred Cinema is a monthly episode,

so it's here's where we deep dive movies to remember them, to rebute them, and to extract understandings and awarenesses that are both secular and sacred.

Now, we've already recapped Captain America, Captain Marvel, and Iron Man, the origin story,

which you can learn more about at thebiblebench.com.

Now, in terms of what you can expect from this specific episode, our hypothesis here is that God can be found everywhere,

and in everything, accordingly, we will analyze the movie both with secular and sacred lens to see what divine elements we can excavate and examine.

So Iron Man 2, Jamie, this is where I felt like it really started to get good.

Like the Marvel, but this is where, as a fanboy, as a comic book guy, this is where I remember walking out of this movie and being like,

whoa, that was, there was almost, I even, I have to say, saying this, it feels like I whispered about it.

That kind of felt like a Vince Vaughn movie to me in a lot of ways.

You know what I mean?

It's the highest praise from you.

It is the highest praise, so I really enjoyed it.

I tried to remember back if I, what I was doing when I saw this, like first time, I could not.

This was the year that I turned 35, which is weirdly the most difficult work they have ever had emotionally.

There was a pedestrian at a Christian College campus where I was doing a small group leader training,

and I did hit a pedestrian with my car that year.

That year has a lot of baggage with it, so I don't remember seeing this movie in the theater.
