About this episode

Thor is a Norse god who wields a hammer, controls thunder and lightning and gets carted around in a chariot by a couple of magical goats. He's also a quippy, long-haired superhero hunk who stars in a series of children's movies. How does this make sense? This week we try to get to the bottom of just what is going on with this guy, but first we complain about going to the bank.
