We made it! This week we finally begin to delve into Scarlett Johannson's journey portraying Marvel's super-spy Black Widow, starting with the mostly improvised Iron Man 2! This is one of Marvel's most problematic movies to date, so let's pull it apart to see what works and what doesn't, and figure out just how far Black Widow still has to go!

This week I analyse Scarlett Johansson's performance in the star-packed women-are-like-this-and-men-are-like-this broad gender stereotype comedy (!?) He's Just Not That Into You. Will Scarlett break the slump and be given a character with something to do? Does this film, based on a self help book, have something insightful to say? Will I, like the titular "he" be just not that into it?

This week we sit through Frank Miller's incomprehensible grim and gritty take on Will Eisner's The Spirit! Can our hero Scarlett Johansson transform into a scientist, a chauffer, a sexy nurse and a Nazi and still keep her dignity intact? Can Frank Miller actually direct a film? IS this actually a film? I'm going to pull it all apart and tell you the TRUTH!

This week I take you behind the curtain and expose the secrets of magician Christopher Nolan when Scarlett Johansson is saddled with the unwieldy The Prestige.

This week director Brian De Palma is in the firing line as he enlists Scarlett Johansson in noir light-on-thrills thriller The Black Dahlia. We already know that Scarlett can play a femme fatale in a period piece, but does the director of Scarface have what it takes to elevate us out of our current slump? Nope!

This week Woody returns, following up the wonderful indulgence-free with Match Point with a very indulgent Scoop! What does he have in mind for the focus of our ongoing study -  the mighty Scarlett Johansson - this time around? Can she comfortably tackle a comedy? And why is everybody so cagey about the idea of a "muse". We've got an awful lot to talk about!

Is Michael Bay an incoherent tyrant or a shrewd star-maker, and what can the Bay unlock that we haven't seen before? Whether you're a fan of Bay (or even Scarlett) or not, we're going to dive in and thoroughly pull this thing apart and see what makes it tick!
