This weekend Iron Man 3 helps usher in the 2013 summer movie season with a little style, some swagger, and a whole ton of ridiculous action sequences. Oh yes, that smell in the air is perseverance, because that's what you're going to need to take on a summer full of big, explosive blockbusters. This is one of the greatest times of the year if you're a fan of huge movies, and one of the season's biggest is already doing monstrous business abroad even before it lands in theaters here this weekend.

So how is it?

This week, Fandango's Erik Davis and Sean O'Connell dedicate the entire podcast to Iron Man 3. In it we'll talk about whether Iron Man 3 is better, worse or as good as The Avengers, as well as where this installment fits in with the rest of the trilogy.

As always you can listen below or download for later. Let us know what you think of this podcast and Iron Man 3 in the comments, and enjoy your weekend at the movies!
