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 Spider-Man And His Amazing Friends, first seen between 1981 and 1983, and joining Tim for a chat about Peter Parker, Angelica Jones and Bobby Drake very occasionally remembering to mention that they are also supposed to be at college is musician Garreth Hirons. What will they find to say about the practicality of 'Ice Pants', the canonical status of Kingpin's Special Neck Band and the appropriate etiquette when your ex comes back as a half-machine monster of some sort, and what does any of this have to do with a moral panic about 'Bytes'? Get listening and find out!

If you enjoy It's Good, Except It Sucks, you can help to support the show by buying us a coffee here. Preferably not from a vending machine that Video Man has used to implement a dastardly plot that they will still somehow need the supercomputer to alert them to.
