MAXO: Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Book of the Stranger

Steve Rogers is adjusting to twenty-first century life when a mysterious figure arrives played by the same as actor as his childhood friend and comrade-in-arms Bucky Barnes. Given the MCU's proclivities against using the same actor twice for different roles, who could it be? Also, what are the ethics of eliminating millions of people for securing world peace? And why doesn't Steve take the Circulator bus to get from the Mall to Roosevelt Island? We tackle all of these questions and more in this episode as we look at Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014). But the past is catching up to more than just Cap as we also turn to look at ursine mating rituals in Brother Bear 2 (2006).
