It's lunch time on a Friday. The SoBros Mailbag is here.

Let’s face it – every day we are routinely bombarded with questions. When you’re an emerging media company in Nashville, people just want to know what your opinions are on everything. It’s only natural. And, since our duty is to serve the people, well, we have no choice but to be present. That’s the SoBro Way. Also, aren’t mailbags just a barrel of laughs anyway? Welcome to the newest weekly recurring feature up in this bitch: The SoBros Mailbag. As always, hit us with those mailbag questions @SoBrosNetwork on Twitter, email ’em to me anonymously at thesobrosnetwork@gmail.com. And, holy shit, I need to update this terrible intro paragraph that I’ve been using literally ever since I started writing this column…

Question:

Answer:

I had actually just muttered “Mr. Stark, I don’t feel so good” before this photo was taken. I actually just thought my buddy Zach was recording a video, so I tried to duck down real quick. Instead, he was taking a pano, and this is the end result! I kind of like it, though…it’s funny….it definitely looks like I’m getting Thanos snapped.

Question:

Answer:

Man, this is absolutely wild to think about with the benefit of hindsight. 2015…they would’ve just introduced Ant-Man, and they would’ve been gearing up for that legendary run of movies leading up to the conclusion of The Infinity Saga. Given how masterfully that story was crafted, and how nearly every single project added something different yet integral to the advancement of it, I just wouldn’t want to have changed a thing about it. I’m hard-pressed to put it all on Feige’s shoulders, but if it was anyone, it was him and the vision he had for where Marvel could go. So, there’s no doubt in my mind that the longterm storytelling would’ve suffered. At the same time, can you imagine if some of the DC characters had been handled with the same care? Man, I would love to have seen what Feige could’ve come up with the DC Universe. This is going to be one of the all-time great “what if” scenarios for fan boys like me.

Question:

Answer:

I may come across as a snob for this one, but I’m going with Publix. First of all, the Publix salads are amazing. They have good, fresh guacamole too. I wish the cheese section was a little more robust. You definitely have to go to Kroger to build out a more robust charcuterie board. But, Publix gets the job done for a basic board. I think Publix’s produce is fresher. I’ve never bought a bad apple or onion there. They have good sushi. But, most of all, it’s just so much quieter than Kroger or Wal-Mart. I’m actually more than happy to pay a little bit more if it means I can shop in peace with a lot fewer people around.

Question, from Sean on Instagram:

Will this be the year we take you to see a horror movie in a movie theater?

Answer:

You know…I’d never say never. Hell…I might even be up for it depending upon the movie. The theater experience with horror is unparalleled, and honestly, that’s exactly why I don’t go see horror in theaters. I barely see horror at all, actually. I don’t do jump scares well, and that heightened sense of dread that accompanies a good horror movie activates that part of my brain that just makes me angry. It’s anything but relaxing, and I feel like a total weirdo getting mad at movies in the theater.
