- Does whatever a cameo canThe latest Spider-Man, No Way Home, goes all in on the multiverse according to Streaming Wars host Colin Chisholm. Which, certainly has its charms, but is it enough to make a good movie?
Finally available on Prime Video, Spider-Man has lots of problems to fix in this latest adventure and will have to deal with heroes and villains from entirely different universes to deal with.

The series has been compared to some of its contemporaries, like The Office and Parks And Recreation, but the show reaches levels of humour and chemistry that took those shows years to hit.

With hilarious, New Zealand deadpan comedy and deeply nuanced performances from the two main leads, Our Flag Means Death is a special treat from HBO Max. Here’s hoping it doesn’t get cancelled after only one season.

Thanks to a convoluted, hard-to-follow story that jumps around incoherently and without much payoff, the second season fails to hook its audience, despite some excellent performances from Natasha Lyonne.

Now on Disney+, the movie has a lot of things to look at and get excited about, including a bevy of cameos from past comic book films and a fresh directorial take via Sam Raimi, but there’s not much depth or heart on display.
