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 we’re taking a look at Iron Man 3 from 2013, and joining Tim for a chat about Tony Stark’s battle against a terrorist who can’t do broadcast intrusions properly and about fifteen thousand other things at the same time is podcaster Phil Catterall. What will they find to say about Guy Pearce’s expertise in playing a Guy Pearce Villain, Osama Bin Laden’s Max Headroom Mask and the mysterious secret identity of ‘Stewart Lee Kid’, and what does any of this have to do with who would win out of Iron Patriot and Squirrel Girl? Get listening and find out!

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. Actually, we probably shouldn’t be depriving Bruce Banner of one. Although, come to think of it, maybe we should.
