It’s Good, Except It Sucks: Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. (Part Two) With David Smith

Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. (ABC, 2013-2020) - listen to David Smith and Tim Worthington talking about Phil Coulson and the gang picking up the literal pieces between the movies in Series Four to Series Six 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 is the second part of our look at Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. which ran for seven seasons on ABC between 2013 and 2020, and joining Tim for a chat about Phil Coulson and the gang picking up the literal pieces between the movies is quiz expert David Smith. This time they’re focusing on the arrival of Ghost Rider, the return of The Kree and an excursion into What If…? territory in Series Four to Series Six of Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the spinoff Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Slingshot. What will they find to say about Nicolas Cage’s uncanny lack of resemblance to a motorbiking vengeance demon, the probability of anyone remembering Bland Man’s character name, and how far you will get by shouting ‘GET ON WITH IT’ at at Mutant Enemy Productions, and what does any of this have to do with handing your homework in late to Kevin Feige? Get listening and find out!
