Ep 75 - Thor Ragnarok

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.
