This week on the podcast, Nigel and Tazziii are joined by writer Gary Swaby, also a member of the entertainment website The Koalition. We get into the 29th entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Thor: Love and Thunder…and do our best to stay positive. It’s safe to say we weren’t impressed but managed to find many (so many) storytelling lessons in the shortcomings of Thor’s latest adventure. This week’s storytelling tip is about setting the right tone for your stories.
Other stories we’re enjoying this week: Alex Cross, Power Book III: Raising Kanan, Better Call Saul, Hades, Sleepy Hollow, The Witcher: Introducing the Witcher, Queen of the South, Demon Slayer, Castlevania.
