Ant-Man (2015) - Ben Baker joins Tim Worthington for a chat about Scott Lang falling down a procession of plugholes in It’s Good, Except It Sucks - a movie by movie - and television series by television series - hurtle through the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

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 Ant-Man from 2015, and joining Tim for a chat about Scott Lang falling down a procession of plugholes is quizmaster Ben Baker. What will they find to say about Avon Barksdale’s post-The Wire career trajectory, George Clooney’s Ant Leadership potential and the hot trending hashtag #Cornish4Duck, and what does any of this have to do with what ridiculous hour in the morning the Lost finale was actually on? 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. It’ll be even better value if you throw one of Hank Pym’s enlarger discs at it.
