After some incredibly tense twists and turns in recent episodes of Agents of Hydra S.H.I.E.L.D., it’s nice to have a lighter tone reappear with this week’s adventure.

MARVEL’S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. Ep 15: Yes Men (T.V. review)
March 12th, 2014 Steven D'Arcangelo The name of this week’s episode, Yes Men, is thankfully not a reference to the underwhelming Jim Carrey film of nearly the same name (Yes Man).

MASTERS OF THE SHARED UNIVERSE
February 28th, 2014 Steven D'Arcangelo Marvel’s The Avengers, which assembled heroes established in previous solo films, earned $1.51 billion worldwide.
