Mjölnir: It's the hammer that Thor uses to dispense his brand of Norse justice on those who threaten Asgard and Earth. We know that Thor is worthy to lift Mjölnir, but what characters from non-Marvel franchises would have the same ability? This week, the panel of Matt, Josh P, and Josh H tackle who is worthy to lift Thor's hammer. We jump to the worlds of Star Trek, Star Wars, Firefly, Game of Thrones, The Simpsons, The West Wing, and more in our journey to find the next great Norse warrior. Stick around until the end for our rapid fire section and guaranteed hilarity!
