Spinning out of the blockbuster classic animated movie Into the Spider-Verse comes Spider-Noir, a live action series featuring Nicolas Cage in his first TV role. He's Ben Reilly, a Depression era PI who used to be The Spider, a web-slinging superhero. But when mob boss Silvermane starts stirring up trouble Ben is forced to go back to the swinging lifestyle and deal with a new wave of super powered weirdos. The thing is... should Spider-Man be this old? And can a show be well shot, well written and overall well cast but then dragged down by its lead?

Before that: Lex Luthor has a mech suit! The James L Brooks dividing line! Tom Holland demands they have a reason to make Spider-Man: Brand New Day! And more! If you don't care about any of that, skip right to 1:02:19.
