Bit of a delay on this week’s video version for Caravan of Garbage due to some late in the day editing switches. But don’t worry, everyone is living their best life. Not even The Punisher can stop us releasing this extended audio edition for bigsandwich.co though.

In 2004 Marvel took another shot at making a Punisher live action adaptation after the success of Spider-Man, X-Men & Daredevil (I guess?), the Thomas Jane in the lead role. Also acting as his Year One original story it pits him against John Travolta and a family of mobsters who had his entire extended family un-alived (that’s for YouTube censorship) after Frank Castle acted out a truly bizarre undercover pantomime drug deal. It’s fairly melodramatic and drawn out but it does boast one of the greatest scenes in cinematic history. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

The first cinematic adaptation of The Punisher happened to be a little known action film from the late 80’s staring Dolph Lundgren. Sure he was missing the signature white skull, black jumpsuit and white boots (disgraceful omission) but there’s a lot of core elements that have held up pretty well despite the limitations of the era. SO COME WITH US as we journey through all the films in the Punisher’s repertoire and thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

Daredevil may not have gotten the sequel it probably I guess deserved but it did get a spin-off. ELEKTRA. 2005. Brought back to life using magic or a wish or something after being killed in Daredevil, Jennifer Garner returns to the role where this time she’s an assassin who can sometimes see the future sometimes. This time she has to face The Hand and a bunch of henchpeople who are probably mutants including a man who’s tattoo’s come to life and also his name is Tattoo. All in all it’s not very good.

Daredevil 2003 came in the a wave of Marvel comic book success stories like Blade, Spider-Man and X-Men. Ben Affleck’s Matt Murdoch however didn’t manage to reach those same heights despite being a pretty solid action movie. For the time. How could it not with Michael Clarke Duncan as Kingpin, Colin Farrell in his first comic book villain role as Bullseye and Jennifer Garner as Elektra who recently returned in Deadpool & Wolverine.

Captain America is back and this time he wants to beat up Iron Man! In wrapping up our look at the Steve Rogers Captain America trilogy we take a look at the biggest entry, Civil War. After Tony Stark again begins to feel bad about being a bad bloke he backs the General Ross drafted Sokovia Accords which means more regulations for any enhanced beings. This acts as the introduction of both Spider-Man and Black Panther and divides The Avengers into two distinct teams who beat each other up in an airport among other physical activities.

We’ve reached what many consider to be the pinnacle of the MCU, 2014’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Taking place after the events of The Avengers we again see Steve Rogers adjusting to the modern world and delves into the grey area surrounding his work in the modern day. Also Hydra is back! And a mysterious assassin wearing a mask with a metal arm who may have ties to Captain America’s past! Also Nick Fury does some really cool stuff for what is probably the last time.

We’re back with the first Caravan Of Garbage for 2025, Captain America: The First Avenger. In the lead up to Brave New World we take a look back at the first in the trilogy and the introduction of Chris Evan’s portrayal of Steve Rogers. Acting as a prequel in the MCU timeline it takes us back to his battles with the Red Skull and Hydra during the events of World War II. Directed by The Rocketeer’s Joe Johnston and also starring Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes and Stanley Tucci as Dr. Abraham Erskine it managed to lay the groundwork for future installments on top of being an absolutely cracking adventure movie in its own right. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review!

In 2003 The Lord of the Rings trilogy came to it’s stunning conclusion with The Return of the King. Everything has been building to this moment, Aragorn ascenending to the throne, Frodo and Sam fast approaching Mount Doom, Merry and Pippen picking they’re own teams and Legolas…killing an elephant or something. Sweeping the academy awards with 11 wins and pulling in over a billion dollars Middle Earth had never been bigger! And it never would again. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review

A mere year after the first entry in The Lord of the Rings Trilogy came The Two Towers, not simply a rehash of what came before but a vastly different continuation of the story. With the fellowship split up, Frodo and Sam making for Mordor with the one ring, Merry and Pippin hanging out with a talking tree and Aragon, Legolas and Gimli helping defend Rohan at Helms Deep things ramp up in a big way. Also Gandalf is back and he’s got a new style and powers and stuff. Thanks for watching our Caravan of Garbage review.

In 2001 kicked of the start of a remarkable trilogy of films, live action adaptations of The Lord of the Rings beginning with The Fellowship of the Ring. From director Peter Jackson and filmed in his home country of New Zealand these movies have served as the pinnacle of blockbuster cinema managing to perfectly balance heart, action, spectacle, model work and CGI. With an incredible cast of mostly unknowns including Elijah Woods, Seasn Astin, Ian McKellen, Viggo Mortensen, Cate Blanchett, Ian Holm, Hugo Weaving, Sean Bean, Orlando Bloom, Liv Tyler, Billy Boyd, John Rhys-Davies, Dominic Monaghan and the late great Christopher Lee.

In 2014 Darren Aronofsky hit us with the Russell Crowe lead biblical epic Noah. A bold and accurate(?) retelling of the classic Old Testament tale of one man and his family in a quest to help God kill everyone on earth but not all the animals, just most of them. This concludes our Rusty Crowe His-Trilogy for 2024, but don’t worry we’ll definitely return to more down the line. Probably like Robin Hood or whatever I dunno. Thanks for listening!
