Unblinded with Sean Callagy · How Iron Man Saved Marvel: David Maisel Shares the Real Story with Sean Callagy · 21 May 2026 podcast

And the reviewers have a pact, which I guess isn't legally binding, that they won't review the movie until you say it's opening night in New York.

So you even have another month or two in New York to fine tune the show before the powerful reviewers come in.

And I realized halfway through this road trip with the show that the beginning had to be amazing.

and the end had to be incredible.

So everything in between has to be good, but what people, if they don't feel into it, if you don't open their minds to their experience in the beginning, and if you don't close with something that causes them to literally flee with excitement as they're leaving the theater,

You're missing a huge opportunity.

So when I went into Iron Man, I really worked on the first scene and the last scene.

And, you know, we have the first scene, he gets blown up.

So there's a dramatic thing that happens.

How do you know that?

I mean, I couldn't agree more.

But how did you know that?

It was...

observation and testing combined with then thinking through psychology, why that would be the case.

And I realized it's the case with everything.

You meet somebody new, if the first couple minutes are just person's head down and nothing happening, it's hard to recover from that.

And it's always good to end with something.

Even all of us go into long business meetings and it could be two hours long or an hour long with somebody and it can get into topics and have a different energy flow.

But then at the end, if you're like full of energy and talking about.

You know, referring back to things that they said, showing them that you listened and seeing them as a person and talking about future things, that's what people remember.
