Episode 5: Spider-Woman (2009)
March 17, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 107 MBCJ and Swara are joined by our friend Britney Monae to discuss the very first Spider-Woman, Jessica Drew! We review her 2009 mini-series "Spider-Woman: Agent of S.W.O.R.D." by Brian Michael Bendis. Who is Jessica, and how can readers and Spider-fans get into her stories when she has so much backstory? Why is the 2009 series such a good place to start, and how does it so effectively relay what Jessica has been through? How is Spider-Woman so distinct from Spider-Man and other Spider-People, i...
Episode 3: Spider-Man 3 (2007)
March 03, 2020 12:00 - 1 hour - 146 MBThis week, CJ and Swara finish up their discussion of the Raimi trilogy with Spider-Man 3 (2007). Does this movie deserve the bad reputation it’s gotten? How does this film hold up and not hold up for us? Why were there so many plot elements in this movie, and do we think that makes it less accessible? Why was Sony so insistent that Venom be in this movie? And was the Peter Parker dance really so bad in retrospect? We also discuss the exciting news that Silk (Cindy Moon) is getting a new com...

How does this film artfully reiterate the message of "With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility" for Peter Parker as he doubts his calling as Spider-Man? Why is this film so good at depicting Aunt May and Peter's economic struggles? What do we make of Mary Jane's development and her potential relationship with Peter? Why is Alfred Molina's Doctor Octopus such an i...

February 04, 2020 11:41 - 1 hour - 127 MBIn the second episode of Into the Spider-Cast, CJ and Swara discuss the movie that arguably jump-started the modern superhero-film phenomenon, Sam Raimi's Spider-Man. While we revered it as kids, how do we think it holds up today? What do we make of Peter Parker's Hero's Journey, his and Mary Jane's relationship, and his duality with the Green Goblin/Norman Osborn? Also, why is J.K. Simmons' J. Jonah Jameson so iconic, and Rosemary Harris' Aunt May so endearing? We discuss all that and more ...
