With the threat of Thanos ended in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Peter Parker can go back to being a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man or can he? That’s the question that comes up in the latest entry in the MCU: Spider-Man: Far from Home. Wade and Kevin do a no-spoilers review of the film to examine whether the post-Endgame world of superheroes is still worth visiting. They also continue with the fourth film in their series on Stanley Kubrick with A Clockwork Orange. Malcolm McDowell’s depraved hoodlum Alex has been iconic ever since the film’s release in 1971, and the guys examine whether Kubrick’s plays on the audience’s sympathies result in a muddled curio or a complex cinematic classic.
