Deadpool (2016) - Joanne Sheppard joins Tim Worthington for a chat about Negasonic Teenage Warhead trying to find the correct emoji to express Wade Wilson's lameness in It's Good, Except It Sucks - a movie by movie - and television series by television series - hurtle through the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

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 Deadpool from 2016, and joining Tim for a chat about Negasonic Teenage Warhead trying to find the correct emoji to express Wade Wilson’s lameness is book reviewer Joanne Sheppard. What will they find to say about the appropriate level of inappropriateness for late-night Channel 4, Ryan Reynolds: Too Red For TV and how to do the world’s worst best worst impression of Basil Fawlty, and what does any of this have to do with Quentin Tarantino saying ‘heh heh I find this funny’? Get listening and find out!
