Podcast - Episode 43: Free Comic Book Day/Civil War Countdown

HAPPY CIVIL WAR WEEK EVERYONE (in North America)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Holy smokes. Are you excited? I'm excited! I haven't been able to sleep, guys. I am not exaggerating. My whole life has been leading to this movie! I can feel it!
In fact, I made a top ten list of Civil War press tour moments. Here are some reference images and links:
RACHELLE'S TOP TEN MOMENTS OF THE CIVIL WAR PRESS TOUR
(in no particular order)
1. Spider incident
On stage at a Q&A session in Beijing, Chris Evans noticed a red spider on Sebastian Stan's thigh (because he was staring at Sebastian Stan's thighs). Clearly not a fan of spiders, he pointed it out, making a nervous joke about how Sebastian is about to be turned into Spider-Man. Sebastian calmly picks up the spider, like some sort of witch, and gently places it on the arm of his chair. It skitters away. Chris never stops looking for it on the ground.
2. Stray hair incident
I am not making this one up, guys. This happened. On stage during a Q&A in London, Chris Evans just casually reached over and pulled a stray hair off of Sebastian Stan's face. He then tossed it on the ground and said "friendship!" To me, saying "friendship" very loudly after doing something like that in front of a giant audience sounds a lot like covering something up, but ok.
3. Mackie & Stan's "hatred" of Tom Holland
Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan had a running joke in interviews that Tom Holland is a complete asshole. That is a great joke. In general, Mackie and Stan were great together on this press tour.
4. Mark Hamill and Sebastian Stan
Mark Hamill and "lookalike" Sebastian Stan finally met at the London premier and it was so cute!

5. Elizabeth Olsen shutting down dumb questions
It's not easy being one of two ladies on a press tour for a movie with 5,000 men. This is the year 2016, and Elizabeth Olsen and Emily Van Camp are still being asked if the men had to watch their swearing around them. Seriously. At least these ladies are badass and shut this shit down. And Sebastian's reaction to the dumb question is the best.
6. Exhausted or maybe hung over Chris Evans forcing himself to endure a round of "fun" questions
Look, it's hard to feel sorry for these hot millionaires who play pretend for a living, but I almost cried for Chris watching this interview. But I will never not laugh at how desperately he is trying to cool off that tiny coffee.
7. Chris Evans hugging RDJ
Sniff. I have something in my eye.
8. Sebastian Stan hugging Chris Evans
A fan in Singapore asked them about Bucky and Steve being best friends, so Sebastian "proved it" by walking right over to Chris and giving him a big ol' "brotherly" hug. I honestly don't know which of them I am more jealous of.
9. Sebastian Stan holding hands with Winter Soldier statue
Guys...
Apparently he was talking to "him" too. Telling him everything would be alright. Come on, Sebastian. I'm just barely keeping myself together over here.
10. Chris Evans saving Sebastian Stan's life when a woman trips in their vicinity
Guys. I can't. Come on.
Alright. that wraps that up.
Well, here's a bonus gif:
Phew. That was a lot of work.
