It’s Good, Except It Sucks: Jessica Jones With Miriam Kent

Jessica Jones (Netflix, 2015-19) - Miriam Kent joins Tim Worthington for a chat about swapping a life of costumed superheroics for drunkenly pulling cars out of tow zones 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 Jessica Jones, first seen on Netflix in 2015, and joining Tim to talk about Jessica swapping a life of costumed superheroics for drunkenly pulling cars out of tow zones is academic Miriam Kent. What will they find to say about David Tennant’s bits of purple clothing, where Peter Parker falls on the Nerd Scale, and whether a back alley punchup is more realistic than Iron Man punching another Iron Man in the sky, and what does any of this have to do with Netflix’s other unbreakable heroine? Get listening and find out!
