It's Good, Except It Sucks

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 we’re heading into the Multiverse for a look at Fantastic Four, released in 2005, and joining Tim for a chat about Victor Von Doom's bid to attain total and utter mastery over the cutlery drawer is musician Garry Abbott. What will they find to say about Ben Grimm's career options as a simultaneous Skeletor and Kryten impersonator, Jessica Alba's uninvention of the t-shirt bra and the importance of 'reasons' in superhero origin stories, and what does any of this have to do with Richard Herring being more powerful than the entire Fantastic Four - or should that be Fantaftic Four - combined? Get listening and find out!
