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 season two of X-Men ’97 from 2026, and joining Tim for a chat about Jean Grey battling to save a timeline where The Young Person’s Guide To Becoming A Rock Star hasn’t happened yet is writer Mic Wright. What will they find to say about how much you can actually eat at an All You Can Eat X-Buffet, a procession of less effective Kylo Rens and why we need a Triathlon series before they even think about getting around to recasting Wolverine, and what does any of this have to do with inadvertently revealing more than you intended to about your ‘opinions’ on January Jones? 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. Preferably one so big that Strong Guy has to bring it.
