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 we’re taking another look at Avengers Assemble from 2012, and joining Tim for a chat about Loki’s complete failure to understand what Doc Brown was actually up to at the Clock Tower is book reviewer Joanne Sheppard. What will they find to say about The Hipsters’ Avenger, how to fight off an alien army with a red petticoat and why cinema needs more pirates with mechanical hands, and what does any of this have to do with an organised tour of the S.H.I.E.L.D. canteen?

Buy A Book!

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. Let’s see if Tony Stark unconvincingly pretends he’s never tried coffee too.
