It’s no secret that on the Cinephile Hissy Fit podcast, sponsored and supported by the Ruminations Radio Network, there is an unafraid Marvel Shill who lets that flag fly with staunch defense of the artistic qualities found in the genre. There’s also a semi-big-wig Rotten Tomatoes-approved and awards-voting film critic who opening separates favorites from bests. You might be able to guess where they fall on the next big summer blockbuster from Marvel Studio, and common ground might be hard to come by.

For their 71st episode, two Nordic film critics, hammered dads, and Guns ‘N Roses-jamming school teachers Will Johnson and Don Shanahan go toe-to-toe with the gods and monsters of Thor: Love and Thunder. For the second Marvel Cinematic Universe movie in a row, our two hosts find themselves far apart. Expect different shouts of love and different shots of thunder in this rollicking episode. Come for the shared challenge and tirade and stay for the mutual love and respect for the fun movies encapsulate. Enjoy our podcast!
