Of all the Marvel One-Shots, this might just be the best. It serves as an explanation for plot points that arose in Iron Man 3 (much like the consultant did for The Incredible Hulk), but it goes beyond a simple function and provides the audience with not just information, but entertainment. Final rating:★★★½ - I really liked it. Would strongly recommend you give it your time.

Probably the best production values of all of the One-Shots, this short comedy film brings conclusion to Trevor Slattery's character in the same style that gave so much substance to the role in Iron Man 3. Found as an extra on the Thor: The Dark World disc, and among the collected One-Shots on the bonus disc in the Phase 2 box set.
