209. Breaking All the Rules: Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)


Listen Later

More than just another Spidey flick, No Way Home cements itself as a thoughtful blockbuster by way of character study and surgical integration of external narratives. The Marvel Cinematic Universe blasts through multiple walls and wall-crawlers, weaves a tangled web of disparate plot drivers, and somehow delivers a gripping action movie with heavy emotional stakes and fulfilling finishes - in breathtaking fashion.

Jason and Ryan marvel at the rousing success of a film that should've lost its way, been a total mess, and careened off the edge - and instead became one of the best superhero movies, decades in the making.
