Another new Marvel Studios film has arrived, and it appears to be a hit among viewers. But why? What worked for Thunderbolts*? What didn’t? What characters could have used more time?

Podcast host Uday is joined by writers Brian, and Cam discuss the film in this spoilery discussion of Marvel Thunderbolts*. They also discuss the post credit scenes, and The Fantastic Four: First Steps and Avengers: Doomsday during the course of the podcast.
