It’s Good, Except It Sucks: Captain America: Civil War With Mitch Benn

Captain America: Civil War (2016) - Mitch Benn joins Tim Worthington for a chat about Earth's Mightiest Heroes having a bit of a shoving match in an airport car park 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 time it’s Captain America: Civil War from 2016, and joining Tim for a chat about Earth’s Mightiest Heroes having a bit of a shoving match in an airport car park is comedian and musician Mitch Benn. What will they find to say about Scarlet Witch throwing a building at Donald Trump, the parts of the original Civil War comic that they couldn’t do in a blockbuster movie and Spider-Man finally gaining the spider-inability to shut up, and what does any of this have to do with ‘Spider-Dad’? 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. If it’s one that’s been expanded with one of Ant-Man’s giant-size disc things then all the better frankly.
