OK, full disclosure: at one point during our Avengers discussion, we went completely off the rails and talked at length about the Infinity Stones of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Since the chat involves spoilers of future MCU movies, we decided to put it into its own mini-pod. (It also buys us more time since travel plans interrupted our regularly scheduled recording session for our next episode, UPI 008 Iron Man 3.)

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Which Infinity Stone is which;
  • Where they appear so far;
  • Why you can always see your own nose;
