Episode 186: SPIDER-MAN - ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE (2023)

The Wages of Cinema

(SPIDERSPOILERS 12 MINS IN) How about those Canon Events, huh? Time to dig in to another chapter in the saga of that kid from Brooklyn who is the one and only Spider-Man, Miles Morales... in his Spider-Verse. But what about that Gwen Stacy, what's she been up to? I don't mean how some of you think of Gwen Stacy, I mean the Verse where she's Spider-Gwen.... Or, wait, what about the verse where there's Miguel OHara (aka "Spider-Man 2099"), who has the controls to what makes the whole Spider-Verse tic? (Minor Spoiler, he thinks that name, and what he actually calls it, are both stupid)... as for Peter Parker and his son, uh oh... This is continuing on the momentum of Into the Spider-Verse, one of the more innovative films of the last two decades of any medium or genre, so do Lord and Miller and the trio of directors (including Kemp Powers) bring the goods again? Is it animated like you're wandering into four of five museums? Will you see a Spider-Horse? listen to Spider-Jack, Trash Panda Korey, and Spider Guest Matt expound on all things Spider!
