About this episode

The episode reviews Season 1 of Marvel's Wonder Man, discussing its themes and comedic elements.

This week, it's back to the MCU with their 17th (!) Television / Streaming storyline; this time with Sir Ben Kingsley and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II's fantastic superhero drama depicting the challenges of making it big in Hollywood - for two budding - but far from normal actors! It opens with an outrageous set of euphemisms which no one saw coming and it doesn't rise much out of the gutter from there! From gaining superpowers from Mackerel and more film premise pitches to the Hollywood elite, to renewed debates around biscuits and their dunk-ability - there's plenty of segues during this week's episode! Grab that Peach Ring and enjoy a spolier-ific review of Season 1! #GITS🌊 #Onthetopic #TWRAD #Southcoastsounds #Portsmouth #UK #Spotify #Podcasts #MCU #Wonderman #Ironman3 #Superheroes #Streaming #Disney+ Did you like the series?
