X-Men '97 With Mic Wright

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 X-Men '97 from 2024, and joining Tim for a chat about Jean Grey's battle to save a timeline where Blame It On The Weatherman by B*Witched hasn't happened yet is writer Mic Wright. What will they find to say about an absence of floppy discs, which would work better out of Apocalypse '97 and Apocalypse Better and whether that sort of Angel Delight X-Man has any actual 'superfans', and what does any of this have to do with that long forgotten time travel storyline from The Young And The Restless? Get listening and find out!
