Continuing to search for more periphery Marvel Comics characters to add to the MCU, Disney+ offers up longtime hero, and sometimes West Coast Avenger, Wonder Man. Opening with an old movie featuring an actor playing the larger than life movie character with an extra dash of Flash Gordon thrown-in, in a pretty comic-accurate costume, we soon jump to the young boy in the audience who grows up to be a struggling actor with a burning desire to play his childhood hero on the big screen.

The worst kept secret in Hollywood is that Chevy Chase is an asshole. No stranger to documenting complicated men, director Marina Zenovich never shies away from the topic while also struggling to show a softer side to the comedian turned actor. I don’t know that there’s any big revelation in I’m Chevy Chase and You’re Not, except perhaps even when attempting to be on his best behavior Chase can’t help but use comedy as a weapon to cut deep as the man who loves to be celebrated chafes at being critiqued or asked to be introspective.
