Thor 077: Who’s More Grim, Hogun or Heimdall?

<h2>Minute Seventy-Seven: From The Plan to The Bifrost</h2> <p>Joining us to discuss Hogun’s words, the decision the Warriors Three and Sif make, Heimdall’s reaction, and the Observatory kicking into high gear are once again Miles Stokes and Elisabeth Allie from the podcast Thor: The Lightning and the Storm.</p> <h3>In the seventy-seventh minute of <a href="https://trustory.fm/director/kenneth-branagh/">Kenneth Branagh</a>’s 2011 film <em>Thor</em>…</h3> <ul><li>Was it meant to be a moment of comedy between Sif and Hogun the Grim?
