With so many different writers and directors taking on Bruce Banner and the Hulk, how to we reconcile all of this into a single long term character arc? Chris and Anthony are joined by returning guest, monster enthusiast, and Strange Magic fan Sam Riordan (@JustSamPlease) in this deep dive into The Incredible Hulk, Joss Whedon's Avengers films, Thor: Ragnarok, and the Russos'/Markus & McFeely's bizarre character choices in Infinity War and Endgame.

Content Warning: brief discussion of suicide when speaking about Bruce Banner in The Avengers
