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 Thor: Ragnarok from 2017, and joining Tim to talk about the galaxy’s most gambled on game of rock paper scissors is musician Garreth Hirons. What will they find to say about Thor’s Ftone Clearing credentials, precisely how much Jeff Goldblum constitutes The Right Amount Of Jeff Goldblum and whether the Saga of Ragnarok has a moral or is just a bunch of stuff that happened, and what does any of this have to do with Godzilla Vs. Threat Of The Year? Get listening and find out!
