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 Black Panther: Wakanda Forever from 2022, and joining Tim for a chat about Shuri establishing diplomatic relations with an underwater nation made out of Lego Pirate Ship add-on packs is quiz expert David Smith. What will they find to say about the military strategic capabilities of a slice of Caffè Nero Cappuccino Cake, Martin Freeman The Sexy Lamp and whether you should come and have a go at Angela Bassett if you think you’re hard enough, and what does any of this have to do with Tony Stark’s failure to invest in massive shoulders?

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. Probably not a good idea to make it so strong that it can detect Vibranium, though.
