Thor 030: What’s Loki Thinking When Thor Gets Cast Out?

<h2>Minute Thirty: From Asgard to Midgard</h2> <p>This is our last day of individual guests for each day, but it’s a great way to finish it off as we have Justin Jaeger from TruStory FM’s Trailer Rewind podcast to talk with us about Thor’s banishment from Asgard to Midgard.</p> <h3>In the thirtieth minute of <a href="https://trustory.fm/director/kenneth-branagh/">Kenneth Branagh</a>’s 2011 film <em>Thor</em>...</h3> <ul><li>The jerk finally realizes he’s been a jerk.
