It’s Good, Except It Sucks: Daredevil: Born Again With Miriam Kent

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 Daredevil: Born Again from 2025, and joining Tim for a chat about Frank Castle discovering just how many types of ‘behind bars’ it’s possible to be is academic Miriam Kent. What will they find to say about Stilt-Man’s absence from the Defenders saga, whether or not She-Hulk actually ‘got’ any and the importance of Dominic Fortune’s snake-wrestling skills in getting the overarching narrative back on track, and what does any of this have to do with picking up the ‘wrong’ Daredevil: Born Again in your local Waterstones? 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. I’m sure they won’t be too busy wherever it is that Wilson Fisk pretends not to actually drink any coffee whenever there’s cameras on him.
