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 Spider-Man: Homecoming from 2017, and joining Tim to chat about Peter Parker taking dating tips from a voice inside a costume is writer Anna Cale. What will they find to say about who would win out of Spider-Man and Berg-Man, whether a teen romantic comedy should explore the protagonist’s human or ‘non-spider’ side, and the complicated question of whether you drag a truck or a truck drags you, and what does any of this have to do with Martin Scorsese walking in the air? Get listening and find out!
