Joel Murphy and Andy McIntyre watch maligned movies and find their silver linings. For January, they are looking back at some of the most maligned movies of 2024.

Joel and Andy kick things off with Madame Web, a Spider-man-less Spider-verse film starring a character who has never even had her own comic book series. It’s a film so bad it caused Sony to give up on their cinematic universe.

• Madame Web (2024)
• Directed by: S.J. Clarkson
• Written by: Matt Sazama & Burk Sharpless and Claire Parker & S.J. Clarkson (screenplay), Kerem Sanga and Matt Sazama & Burk Sharpless (story), Dennis O’Neil and John Romita Jr. (created by “Madame Web”), Stan Lee and Steve Ditko (created by “Spider-Man”)
• Starring: Dakota Johnson, Sydney Sweeney, Isabela Merced, Anya Corazón, Celeste O’Connor, Tahar Rahim, Mike Epps, Emma Roberts, Adam Scott, Zosia Mamet
