GODSPEED, SPIDER-MAN!

As we continue to barrel through our Tour Dafoe, we take a lil stop at 2002's Spider-Man. We got Tobey, hamfisted "romance," and appx. 40% Raimi. Thwip thwip, baby.

And, get this - they say that a hero could save us. Me? I'm not gonna stand here and wait.

We're back with a new season! This time we're competing in the Tour De Dafoe -  a dive into the prolific career of one Mr. Willem Dafoe. First up, it's 1986's Platoon and all the complicated feelings that a war movie can drum up.

Is this a movie worth making? 
How should we grapple with our past crimes? 
Perhaps most importantly: would you smoke from the barrel of Willem Dafoe's weed gun?

It's high time for something New. Join us as we venture into a New season - nay, a New era - of What Is A Movie.

Today we Escape from New York and chat about pulp, plisskin, politics, and the joys of well-executed creative theft (lookin at you, Metal Gear Solid).

Welcome to: Season Four - The New Season

Going forward we'll be doing shorter, more frequent seasons. Same episode format but now we'll gather 5 films/episodes under some thematic banner (genre, director, title, etc.), take a brief break, and then return with a new season/theme.

Got an idea for a theme or a film we should cover?
