Marvel's latest release puts a new take on an Avenger as THOR returns in a solo film but with a comedic approach.  With director Taika Waititi at the helm, one should expect a wilder, less restrained tone to the God of Thunder's newest outing.  Does this work though?  Do the laughs land?  Is it too much of a different approach?  That's what we will be discussing this week!

Only one of the 12 scene featured films in the Great Movie Ride can survive.  Which would you choose?  Do you pick Mickey and Fantasia over Mary Poppins?  Indy over Tarzan?  Cagney over Bogart? Does Oz top Singin' In The Rain?  Lots to discuss! Let's go! It's showtime!  Support us by becoming a DMH Crew Member at our Patreon page HERE!
