Thor: Ragnarok (Cate Blanchett Month)
Episode 132
Tuesday, 14 April, 2026
Cate Blanchett Month takes a cosmic, neon-drenched turn this week on We Drink & We Watch Things as we dive into the Marvel Cinematic Universe to witness Cate Blanchett at her most delightfully wicked: Taika Waititi’s 2017 technicolor blast, Thor: Ragnarok. It’s time to pour yourself a drink that’s as bold and dangerous as our guest of honor - Lemar's Hella Fire, perhaps - as we head to Asgard to meet the sister Thor and Loki never knew they had.This week, we celebrate Cate’s turn as Hela, the Goddess of Death, and how she managed to create one of the most charismatic and genuinely threatening villains in the entire MCU. We examine her incredible physical presence - from the effortless way she catches Mjolnir to the iconic antlered headgear - and talk through how much fun she clearly had playing a character who is unapologetically powerful and bored by everyone else's rules. We also highlight the film’s shift toward improvisational comedy, the vibrant "Jack Kirby" visual style, and why Hela stands out as a masterclass in how to bring gravitas and theatrical flair to a superhero blockbuster. And why we want more of her!If you love a villain who steals every scene they're in, or if you just want to hear us gush about Cate’s ability to command an entire army with just a flick of her wrist, this is the episode for you. We’re blending our adoration for her range with our usual casual banter, making this a high-voltage highlight of our actress Month journey.
