Episode 296 of Tom Clark's 6M Podcast is a look at Spider-Noir. Tom Clark and Phil Lindsey break down the neo-noir Marvel series starring Nicolas Cage as Ben Reilly, an aging private investigator and former vigilante navigating a dangerous web of crime, corruption, and buried trauma in 1930s New York. They examine the season's central mystery, the rise of Silvermane's criminal empire, and how the series balances detective storytelling with the larger mythology surrounding The Spider.

They also discuss Cage's performance, the supporting cast, the black-and-white presentation option, and the show's unique place within Sony's Spider-Man Universe. Does Spider-Noir successfully blend classic noir themes with superhero action, or does its ambitious scope occasionally work against it? Dive into that and a lot more!
