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 Avengers: Age Of Ultron from 2015, and joining Tim for a chat about the race to stop two stroppy teenagers and a mardy robot who’s swallowed a dictionary from getting their hands on some inconvenient metal is musician Garreth Hirons. What will they find to say about how fast a ‘slacker’ can realistically run, whether movies can be enlivened by a screeching match and Little Richard’s little-known stint as a comic book writer, and what does any of this have to do with a philosophical cultured robot going ‘RAAAAAAA’? 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. Preferably one that lasts for as long as that bit with Hawkeye’s family does.
