Who Could Be The New Spider-Man?!
Finally. After years of speculation and two lackluster (albeit not from a money making stand point) entries into the Spider-Man mythos, Disney/Marvel and Sony Pictures have come to an agreement to share the rights to The Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. This deal will bring Spider-Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and will allow Marvel to […]
42: ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’ Starring Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx
This week on the show it’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Or perhaps we should call it The (Allegedly) Amazing Spider-Man 2. Well, all of us except Kevin will call it that. Also, in Blake’s absence, we welcome a new guest Allison Sommers Kelly from the podcast Verbal Justice (iTunes). Or Gerbil Justice. The Skype connection […]

Movie Review: ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’ Starring Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx
For the “spoiler-ific” review, click here.

Movie Review: ‘Spider-Man’ Reboot Gives Fresh Start To Webslinger
It’s hard to believe that is was barely 10 years ago that the first Spider-Man film was released. Here we are a decade later and we already have a reboot, new cast and a new director. I will admit, Spider-Man is one of my favorite superheros of all time, and I loved the first three […]
Steve Kelley Reviews ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ Starring Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone and Rhys Ifans
Note: an earlier version incorrectly listed Gwen Stacy as Gwen Tracy. Special thanks to Russ M. for the correction. With the seemingly annual (sometimes biannual) releases of Marvel films, there’s little doubt that superhero movies are in style. This year’s release of The Avengers skyrocketed into the record books and became the third-highest grossing film of […]
Movie Review: ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ From The Perspective of a Fanboy
For as long as I can remember, Spider-Man has been one of the superheroes I had always come to love. It wasn’t just the enhanced reflexes, spider sense, increased strength and agility that always drew me in (perhaps as a kid, yes), but rather it was Peter Parker’s everyday problems that work in tandem with […]
Movie Review: ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ Starring Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone
It might seem strange to most people that there is a reboot of the Spider-Man series that launched just 10 years ago. It may seem even more strange due to the fact that the series of films is one of the most successful trilogies of all time. Aren’t reboots usually saved for source material that […]
