It’s Good, Except It Sucks: Wonder Man With Tim Worthington

Wonder Man (2026) - Tim Worthington joins David Smith for a chat about Simon Williams possibly taking the idea of 'playing' Wonder Man on the playground a little too far 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 Wonder Man from 2026, and David Smith is standing in as host for a chat with Tim about Simon Williams possibly taking the idea of ‘playing’ Wonder Man on the playground a little too far. What will they find to say about whether the MCU needs more condiment-based powers, how to play the world’s worst game of Snap using Josh Gad and whether The Avengers will ever have need to call on Alanis Morissette for help, and what does any of this have to do with Bart Simpson’s desperation to find a darkforce-derived catchphrase?
