Black Widow With Miriam Kent

September 26, 2024

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 Black Widow from 2021, and joining Tim for a chat about Yelena Belova not quite managing to break her 'eating stale biscuits' conditioning is academic Miriam Kent. What will they find to say about whether men are more upset by female-fronted action movies if they have Nirvana songs in them, Scarlett Johansson's butt being the butt of butt jokes about Scarlett Johansson's butt and the unmade epic Shang-Chi Kicks The Multiverse, and what does any of this have to do with The Apocalyptic Two Ronnies? Get listening and find out!
