We know each other - we're almost like friends from work.  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, Ethan, and Georgia as we review Thor: Ragnarok as we kick off Funderstruck week en route to Thor: Love & Thunder. We hope you printed off enough pamphlets for your revolution in our 129th episode as we discuss:

  • Odin and how this film ruins his character
  • The mini-films that were Team Thor and how they helped shape Thor's character tweak in Ragnarok
  • Why this film plays so fast and loose with Asgard being a planet or a people
  • If people overpraise this film (or over criticise the 1st Thor film) because of Thor: The Dark World
  • How Taika Waititi got the gig to direct this film
  • We're joined by friends of the podcast Cheesy & Juleen
  • Is Karl Urban any good in this film?
  • Does this film suffer from a story problem?
  • We leave some technical glitches in at the end of this episode
  • Whether or not Thor: Ragnarok is the Best Film Ever.
