It’s Good, Except It Sucks: One-Shots With Jim Sangster

Marvel One-Shots - Agent Carter (2011) - Jim Sangster joins Tim Worthington for a chat about the little-seen extra-curricular adventures of Peggy Carter, Phil Coulson and Tony Stark in the Marvel One-Shots in It's Good, Except It Sucks.

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 the One-Shots – a series of short films that accompanied some of the earlier movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe – and joining Tim to talk about The Consultant, A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Thor’s Hammer, Item 47, Agent Carter and All Hail The King is writer Jim Sangster. What will they find to say about the correct pronunciation of ‘lov-er-ly drugs’, The Coen Brothers’ movies’ capacity for kicking men in the bollocks and Matt And Luke Goss’ status in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and what does any of this have to do with the Hardcastle And McCormick theme music? Get listening and find out!

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. Peggy Carter will probably have already solved three cases by the time they’ve even poured it.
