Episode 6 - The Incredible Hulk Movie Review
This week’s topic is The Incredible Hulk, a 2008 movie that was just the 2nd film in the MCU. Starring Edward Norton and directed by Louis Leterrier, this movie is the only major MCU film to not be on Disney+, and it occupies an odd place both in terms of its star (since replaced by Mark Ruffalo) and its studio (Marvel produced the film, with distribution by Universal).
