It's your friendly neighborhood podcast hosts back again to celebrate Action August with a web-slinging favorite: Spider-Man (2002). Peter Parker is a shy, genius teenager who enjoys photography and is in love with his next door neighbor Mary Jane, but unfortunately she doesn't notice him at all. After being bitten by a genetically mutated spider while on a science field trip, he finds himself imbued with arachnid super powers that alter the course of his life. With great abilities comes even greater trauma (RIP Uncle Ben), and thus a hero is born! Often considered one of the greatest superhero films from our youth, we have to ask: is this still our favorite era of Spider-Man? Or have we evolved with the genre? Let’s find out together!
