Even though Disney is marketing the hell out of "Iron Man 3" (its ads are everywhere, its stars are popping up all over the world promoting the movie), the manufactured excitement generated by the Disney/Marvel Marketing Machine somehow seems more manufactured than usual this time out. Even the very charming Robert Downey Jr. could only muster about ten percent of his usual wattage in his Daily Show appearance after having been shipped to and then displayed in seemingly every Asian country for a cavalcade of premieres. Though it may be that there is enthusiasm for the official start of the summer movie season because, at last, there's something at the multiplex worth seeing, there doesn't seem to be any actual excitement about this movie. Why is that? That question is not discussed, but other questions are, on this episode of A Little Snack! Discussed: Inside Amy Schumer, The Jeselnik Offensive, a live cat ejection, who kills it at the Comedy Central roasts, pens and what's good about them (to listen to Bear Trap talk about them, you'll be convinced the answer is 'nothing'), the release of a certain summer blockbuster, a new Word of the Week (and a quasi-bonus Word), a Roger Murtaugh impression, a new Danish judging show the 'Lith and the Trap disagree on, a Monolith Moment, a little about Shane Black, and finally some talk about episode FIVE of Game of Thrones, which is agreed to be a fairly ass-heavy episode. At just one hour, this one will fit into your schedule quite neatly. Enjoy, friends.
