Episode 129 - Thor: Ragnarok (Live & Uncensored)

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.
