It’s Good, Except It Sucks is a movie by movie – and television series by television series – hurtle through the Marvel Cinematic Universe, hosted by Tim Worthington with a series of superpowered guests.

This time it’s Thor from 2011, and joining Tim for a chat about the God of Thunder breaking a few mugs in New Mexico is board game expert and film critic Vikki Gregorich. What will they find to say about the scarcity of young persons’ popular beat music on the soundtrack, Chris Hemsworth’s Nostril Acting and how and where the film fits in with the chronology of everyone pretending they’d seen The Wire before everyone else, and what does any of this have to do with Steroid Liv Tyler? Get listening and find out!
