Minute Seventy-Two: From Loki’s Warning to Thor’s Delivery

Joining us to discuss the working relationship between Loki and Heimdall, as well as the arrival of Thor with a drunk Erik over his shoulder is Bubbawheat from the Flights, Tights and Movie Nights podcast!

In the seventy-second minute of Kenneth Branagh’s 2011 film Thor...

• Heimdall takes a long time to reply to Loki about his loyalties. And Loki looks unhappy about that.
• Is Heimdall feeling guilt now that he earlier betrayed Odin to let Thor go down to Jotunheim? Or was that a situation where the ends more justified the means?
• Is part of the reason Loki asks this now is because he knows Heimdall disobeyed Odin earlier and wants to make sure he knows so Heimdall doesn’t obey now?
• We debate this point for a bit. Very interesting moment here.
• Loki walks out with a comment about Thor’s mess. What’s he mean by that?
• Is he afraid Heimdall will open the Bifrost to Thor? Or is he worried that Heimdall may bring Thor back?

Meanwhile, back on Midgard...

• Jane’s now reading Erik’s library book. Kinda distracted, but still reading it.
• We see she eats GoLean Crunch!
• Thor shows up with a drunk Erik thrown over his shoulder. How drunk did Erik get? Does it matter that we didn’t get to see the bar fight or Erik passing out in the street?
• Erik seems to be buddy-buddy with Thor now. So does that mean Thor can stay?
• Thor’s metabolism is Asgardian but he’s mortal. Why is he handling his liquor so well?
• When Thor says Erik made his ancestors proud, what would it have been that made them proud?
• But where did Thor get this plaid coat? It was laying on the bar. Did he steal someone else’s coat?
• It’s kinda a lumberjack flannel chique... in other words, fairly ugly.
• We identify Jane’s shirt, thanks to people online. It’s not Miss Minutes though. It’s called Wandering Sun designed by Marc Jacobs.
• And Bubbawheat points out a few of the movies that Jane has on DVD in her trailer.

It’s a fun minute full of kingly warnings and drunk deliveries with Bubbawheat. Tune in!
