Ranking the Marvel Cinematic Universe Movies: Take 2
Recently, @derricklweston and I have been podcasting about the MCU over at The Gospel According to Marvel, and through each episode we've keep bringing up how we need to update our ranking of the MCU movies (particularly the newest ones to come out). So, here I am, to share my thoughts; I want to read your comments and rebuttal, as I rank the current MCU. Some of these have stayed in their original place while others have been rearranged since rewatching. Remember, I base these ratings subjectively as movies (and not based on their comic book adherence).

"Cat Got Your Tongue?" and 9 Other Idiom Origins
Being a huge movie fan, I know there have been many idioms in movies that have slipped by me without much notice. And with approximately 25,000 idioms in the English language, that's a lot of non-literal words being said. So, while many of us may understand the gist of these phrases (more or less), their historical backgrounds may come as a surprise to you. My goal is to look at some of the more common idioms used in movies and take a look at their historical origins.

Inhumans Fan Cast
Premiering later this year on ABC, the series will (obviously) be focused on the Inhumans, a super-powered human-hybrid created by aliens. Although Inhumans have had a recurring presence on Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD, this will be the first time we see The Royal Family of Inhumans in any form in the MCU.
