As of today, The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl has an official radio show on Sirius XM. Surprised? Me, too! I had forgotten that Squirrel Girl was a Marvel character or scripted podcasts were a thing. You learn something new every day. The official name of her show is a mouthful: Marvel’s Squirrel Girl: The Unbeatable Radio Show.
According to Superhero Hype, the podcast is a continuation of Ryan North’s 2019 Squirrel Girl comic run. The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl ran for 50 issues before Marvel pulled the plug. While no official statement was released from the publisher, sales of the comic may have been meager from what I can find out.
This podcast is probably a welcome return for fans of the hero and her arc in those comics. Well, that is until you listen to it. Oh, dear. At least Milana Vayntrub returns to voice the main character after her stint in Marvel Rising.
Squirrel Girl has taken down Thanos and Doctor Doom, but now she faces something far more terrifying… living authentically. The new series follows Empire State University college student, Doreen Green, who has recently been outed as a Super Hero: The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl. Hoping to unify her personas in the public eye, she and her friends create a student radio show on ESU’s own college station.
I’d almost try to listen to all six episodes so that we could review them, but the sample above did my head in. It reminded me of lousy parody skits from the Bubba The Love Sponge Show, but with less sexual innuendo and profanity.
It’s not clear who the comic book or character is aimed at. Perhaps to school-age kids, similar to what happened with Ms. Marvel? I only remember the character when she appeared in a short Iron Man story from the early ’90s.
Have you listened to the first episode? What did you think? Let us know your opinions in the comments section below.
