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.

What will they find to say about the Things Buried In Ice Cinematic Universe, a half-dressed Robert Downey Jr. confiscating phones and which of them gets to go on a date with Hayley Atwell, and what does any of this have to do with an ‘Embuffening Machine’?

Buy A Book!

You can find much more about my love of the less critically lauded corners of cinema, from Michael Caine and Elvis Presley movies to creaky old sci-fi and ‘Video Nasties’, in my book Can’t Help Thinking About Me, a collection of columns and features with a personal twist. Can’t Help Thinking About Me is available in paperback here or from the Kindle Store here.

Alternately, if you’re just feeling generous, you can buy me a coffee here. I wouldn’t advise using The Tesseract to heat it though.
