WEBVTT - Las Arañas

0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:20.520
<v Speaker 1>Hello, it was Jason Sepsim and on Merseay Night, and

0:00:20.640 --> 0:00:24.479
<v Speaker 1>welcome to a tiny, tiny, tiny spider sized episode of

0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:28.560
<v Speaker 1>X Revision, the podcast when we dive deep into your

0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:30.720
<v Speaker 1>favorite shows, movies, comics, and pop culture.

0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:34.640
<v Speaker 2>In today's episode, it's a previously on. We're catching up

0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:37.720
<v Speaker 2>on Madam Webb as part of a series revisiting all

0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:41.040
<v Speaker 2>the things we missed while we were on hiatus in

0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:44.000
<v Speaker 2>the Amazon with her mother before she died.

0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:50.080
<v Speaker 1>And just in case you didn't catch the amazing, the fantastically,

0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:54.080
<v Speaker 1>very unique Madam Web in theaters, don't worry. Madam Web

0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:56.480
<v Speaker 1>is now streaming on Netflix.

0:00:56.680 --> 0:01:01.120
<v Speaker 2>Catch it now. Picture this nineteen seventy three. Deep in

0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:04.320
<v Speaker 2>the Peruvian Amazon, a young woman is hunting for a spider.

0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:07.679
<v Speaker 2>The spider has magical healing powders, but she is not

0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:10.720
<v Speaker 2>the only one looking for it. In fact, as she

0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:14.480
<v Speaker 2>finds it, she's betrayed by the very man to be

0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:18.560
<v Speaker 2>protecting her, Ezekiel Simms. He has a suspicious mustache. She

0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:19.360
<v Speaker 2>should have known.

0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:23.200
<v Speaker 3>In a very strange way of speaking, which we should.

0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:27.480
<v Speaker 2>We will delve into that he shoots her even though

0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:30.600
<v Speaker 2>she is pregnant, and he leaves her for dead. Taking

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:34.680
<v Speaker 2>the magical healing Spider with him into the jungle. As

0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:39.000
<v Speaker 2>this mysterious woman leeds out, she is saved by an

0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:44.080
<v Speaker 2>even more mysterious group of magical spider people known as

0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:47.039
<v Speaker 2>loss Aranyus. And I just want to say at this

0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:50.960
<v Speaker 2>point we are not making any of this up for hyperbole.

0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:55.840
<v Speaker 2>This is absolutely what happens in Madam Webb. While Los

0:01:55.960 --> 0:02:00.440
<v Speaker 2>Aranius cannot save her, they can save her new born daughter,

0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:07.680
<v Speaker 2>Cassandra Webb. Well, guess what. They let a magical healing

0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:12.280
<v Speaker 2>spider bite her mum and it's saves the baby as

0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:16.119
<v Speaker 2>the baby is being born. Smash cut to New York

0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:18.720
<v Speaker 2>in two thousand and three and the worst driving you've

0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:21.480
<v Speaker 2>seen this side of the Fast and Furious movies as

0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:24.520
<v Speaker 2>we meet Cassie Web who is now an EMT, something

0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:26.359
<v Speaker 2>which I just have to say is not canon to

0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:30.400
<v Speaker 2>the comics and for some reason, is so focused on

0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:32.280
<v Speaker 2>in this movie that you think it might be like

0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:38.880
<v Speaker 2>a top there's style EMT promotional advert. You just couldn't

0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:39.360
<v Speaker 2>believe it.

0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:44.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean to the point that there is a wild

0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:49.799
<v Speaker 1>scene in which Cassie shows.

0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:52.799
<v Speaker 3>Her her Spider charges, her future spider charges.

0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:59.760
<v Speaker 1>How to do chest compressions and perform a point of

0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:04.680
<v Speaker 1>the movie in a way that lets you know this

0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:06.760
<v Speaker 1>will happen later on the new movie.

0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:12.440
<v Speaker 2>And not just that, but it's like incredibly important, to

0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:15.760
<v Speaker 2>the point where one of the charges, Matty Franklin, says,

0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:20.360
<v Speaker 2>you're a great teacher, and she know she's a horrible person.

0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:21.880
<v Speaker 2>That's actually one of the things I love the most

0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:25.480
<v Speaker 2>about this movie. Cassandra Webb is one of Hollywood's most

0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:30.680
<v Speaker 2>unlikable female characters, and I think that is powerful. So

0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:34.720
<v Speaker 2>she's this unlikable woman is driving recklessly through New York,

0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:38.280
<v Speaker 2>causing many problems. But guess what good news for Spider

0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:43.240
<v Speaker 2>fans because her partner in the EMT business is Ben Parker.

0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:47.800
<v Speaker 2>Uncle Ben played by Adam Scott, who I just have

0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:49.840
<v Speaker 2>to say, I'm so happy for him because he's a

0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:52.520
<v Speaker 2>nerd like us, and I know that this was probably

0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:54.760
<v Speaker 2>his dream to play Uncle Ben, So good for you.

0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:57.680
<v Speaker 2>So the pair save the person who is in the

0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:01.600
<v Speaker 2>back of their ambulance, but Cassie is weird about it.

0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:05.600
<v Speaker 2>She's rude to the person's kid. She sees Sidney Sweeney,

0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:07.680
<v Speaker 2>and she's kind of rude to Sydney Sweeney, which is

0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:10.720
<v Speaker 2>a shame because that is Julia Carpenter, but in this

0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:13.600
<v Speaker 2>movie she's called Julia Cromwell because she's not married yet.

0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:17.120
<v Speaker 2>I guess. So. Cassie is weird about everything. And after

0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:20.200
<v Speaker 2>being weird at Mary Parker dunt dun dun dun dun

0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:24.440
<v Speaker 2>du baby shower for the future Peter though he has

0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:28.680
<v Speaker 2>never known named, she has a near death experience that

0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:32.359
<v Speaker 2>gives her precognitive powers. Of course, yes, of course she

0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:36.560
<v Speaker 2>does all she's Madam Webb, and this is how she

0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:39.440
<v Speaker 2>gets those powers. She has a future vision of her

0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:45.120
<v Speaker 2>mentor Mike Epps again not making this up, and he

0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:48.839
<v Speaker 2>is gonna die but she can't save him. Then she

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:53.360
<v Speaker 2>gets blown into her She goes to save somebody on Yeah,

0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:55.159
<v Speaker 2>the whole thing is weird. She's saving somebody on a

0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:59.039
<v Speaker 2>bridge and she falls into the Hudson and then she

0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:01.320
<v Speaker 2>comes back and she's dead for three minutes. But don't

0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:05.080
<v Speaker 2>worry because now she's a pre cog And then what

0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:05.840
<v Speaker 2>happened next?

0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:10.039
<v Speaker 1>Yes, you know, wrong, wrong, Yes, so she is a

0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:10.680
<v Speaker 1>pre cod guy.

0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:13.839
<v Speaker 2>She's a sorry, she has pre cognitive powers. She's not

0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:20.160
<v Speaker 2>a minority report. She saves three teenage girls from don't

0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:24.080
<v Speaker 2>dun't done. Ezekiel Simms, who by the way, has been

0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:29.320
<v Speaker 2>keeping that spider and sleeping with NSA agent so that

0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:34.080
<v Speaker 2>he can use tracking technology to find three teenage girls

0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:37.240
<v Speaker 2>that he sees in his dreams murdering him. We're going

0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:39.359
<v Speaker 2>to take a quick break and we'll be right back.

0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:52.000
<v Speaker 1>With that.

0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:54.000
<v Speaker 2>And now let's talk about the voice.

0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:58.120
<v Speaker 3>Let's talk about it. Let's talk about the many strange

0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:02.359
<v Speaker 3>things about Ezekiel Sims, namely one, he's having visions of

0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:04.280
<v Speaker 3>three teenage girls for years.

0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:08.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, every single night, every single night's dreamable night.

0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:11.040
<v Speaker 3>And he tells no one about.

0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.800
<v Speaker 2>It except for the NSA agent that he kills to

0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:17.839
<v Speaker 2>get the tracking stuff. And in that fantastic moment, which

0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:21.720
<v Speaker 2>was the first time my cinema burst into laughter, he says, yeah,

0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:26.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm dying or they're gonna murder me, and everyone went,

0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:28.760
<v Speaker 2>wait what. And I just want to say, there is

0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:33.360
<v Speaker 2>a this actor who plays Ezekiel Simms. T hear here Ryan.

0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:37.120
<v Speaker 2>He is such a fantastic actor. If you haven't seen

0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:39.440
<v Speaker 2>the French movie Called a Prophet, it is legit one

0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:42.000
<v Speaker 2>of the best movies ever made. It's so fantastic. He

0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:45.679
<v Speaker 2>is an incredible actor. But here they made the choice

0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:50.680
<v Speaker 2>to adr and re dub almost all of his dialogue. Yes,

0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:52.720
<v Speaker 2>and it is inexplicable.

0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:56.160
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'll explain it this way. I think very clearly.

0:06:56.320 --> 0:07:00.280
<v Speaker 1>There were plot issues. They couldn't do reshoots because.

0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:01.279
<v Speaker 2>The money ran out.

0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:04.920
<v Speaker 1>There's you know, a quite strong cap on a lot

0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:11.280
<v Speaker 1>of the Sony Spider movie stuff. And the fix, which

0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:16.040
<v Speaker 1>I think is reasonable, was Okay, we adr Ezekiel Simms

0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:19.120
<v Speaker 1>and we changed the plot and the storyline around that way.

0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:24.960
<v Speaker 1>But the result is just crazy, I mean, extremely surreal, weird.

0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:28.560
<v Speaker 2>It's like watching Cats level of surreal, especially if you

0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:31.200
<v Speaker 2>watch it more than once. Because I watched it twice

0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:34.400
<v Speaker 2>in the cinema. The second time I could really see

0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:37.120
<v Speaker 2>all the times when they were adring him. And yeah,

0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:41.400
<v Speaker 2>that makes sense because the general story in the the

0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:44.760
<v Speaker 2>scoop Mill of Hollywood is that this was originally supposed

0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:47.480
<v Speaker 2>to be tied to Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker movies. Then

0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:50.200
<v Speaker 2>they changed the timeline to make it fit with the

0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:52.400
<v Speaker 2>Tom Holland movies. But then they also kind of messed

0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:54.680
<v Speaker 2>up the timeline, so they separated it from any of

0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:57.520
<v Speaker 2>the movies, and now this is just the different universe

0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:00.360
<v Speaker 2>or something, so that makes sense. But anyways, he he's

0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:02.560
<v Speaker 2>dreaming of these teenage girls. He wants to kill them.

0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:06.480
<v Speaker 2>He has what Shashana from Girls is there as is

0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:11.840
<v Speaker 2>woman behind the wind the screen, his private hacker, and

0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:16.320
<v Speaker 2>he's using you know what now is just normal technology,

0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:18.800
<v Speaker 2>but in two thousand and three was extremely high tech

0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:23.560
<v Speaker 2>to hunt down these girls Julia Cornwall and your Corrazon

0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:27.280
<v Speaker 2>and Matty Franklin. Now, of course, because her web connects

0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:30.480
<v Speaker 2>them all, Madam Webb has already met all these different

0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:34.560
<v Speaker 2>teenagers before she sees them on the train, and in

0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:38.040
<v Speaker 2>one of the movie's kind of best sequences, she sees

0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:41.800
<v Speaker 2>Ezekiel kill them all and then she has to stop.

0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:44.240
<v Speaker 2>It's very final destination. I feel like they should have

0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:46.640
<v Speaker 2>leaned into that more. That could have been a really

0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:50.520
<v Speaker 2>cool angle for the movie. So she saves them, but

0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:54.440
<v Speaker 2>because she is an unlikable female character in the best way,

0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:58.600
<v Speaker 2>she abandons them in the woods after being accused of

0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:02.600
<v Speaker 2>kidnapping them so that she can go home and read

0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:06.640
<v Speaker 2>her mom's diary while uttering the immaculate line of.

0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:15.359
<v Speaker 1>Spider people, LUs Arunias, spider people, las Irunias.

0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:20.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, completely normal, completely normal, And then she has to

0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:24.319
<v Speaker 2>go back and save the girls that she abandoned.

0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:26.359
<v Speaker 3>Well, they're not in the woods anymore.

0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:28.040
<v Speaker 2>Where could they have gone? Where could they have gone?

0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:32.840
<v Speaker 2>Maybe they're going to this diner where they are dancing

0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:36.960
<v Speaker 2>on a table to Toxic by Britney Spears. When Ezekiel Simms,

0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:40.560
<v Speaker 2>who has toxic blood and can kill people with it,

0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:45.920
<v Speaker 2>once again, tries to kill them, Cassie sees him do this,

0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:48.680
<v Speaker 2>and then you know it's the future luckily, so she

0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:50.439
<v Speaker 2>can go in and save it. And then she says,

0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:53.719
<v Speaker 2>let's try that again. And they obviously thought that was

0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:56.080
<v Speaker 2>like a really cool moment. So what she does, classic

0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.800
<v Speaker 2>Cassie web fashion, just drives a car into the diner.

0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:01.760
<v Speaker 2>She'll try and do any cool. Just drives a car

0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:05.360
<v Speaker 2>into the diner. Good thing is Cassie now knows the truth.

0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:07.920
<v Speaker 2>She knows about the Spider people. She has to go

0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:10.800
<v Speaker 2>to Peru, so she abandons the children again, this time

0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:12.720
<v Speaker 2>giving them to Uncle Ben, who, by the way, is

0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:14.000
<v Speaker 2>like the best friend ever.

0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Here's three kids, Okay.

0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:20.760
<v Speaker 2>Here's three teenage girls who I've been staying within a

0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:24.680
<v Speaker 2>motel teaching CPR. You look after them now, and so

0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:30.800
<v Speaker 2>luckily or unluckily, they're staying with Mary Parker there would

0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:34.440
<v Speaker 2>be mother of Peter Parker, and the girls are chilling

0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:36.520
<v Speaker 2>and they're watching you know, I Know what you did

0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:40.920
<v Speaker 2>last summer, because this is essentially just a teen sleepover movie. Yes,

0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:48.240
<v Speaker 2>And unfortunately Mary goes into labor don't boom, bomb bomb,

0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:53.040
<v Speaker 2>while Cassie is in Peru learning that her mother didn't

0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:56.800
<v Speaker 2>hate her. She's astually projecting, she's hugging her mom.

0:10:57.280 --> 0:10:59.640
<v Speaker 3>Can we talk about why go to Peru?

0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:02.240
<v Speaker 2>Like? Why did she?

0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:09.320
<v Speaker 1>Why is part of this movie? The future Madam web

0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:12.800
<v Speaker 1>leaving the action to fly to take a like a

0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:14.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how well how.

0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Long long journey, but a long journey to Peru yep.

0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:22.760
<v Speaker 2>And she goes to Peru and she meets with the

0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:26.280
<v Speaker 2>guy who saved her mum's life, and she he astro

0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:30.960
<v Speaker 2>projects her into a pool where she sees all the

0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:33.960
<v Speaker 2>different webs that she can connect. By the way, again,

0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:37.320
<v Speaker 2>just like, absolutely not canon. This is a Catwoman level,

0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:40.760
<v Speaker 2>you know cat Woman, the Halle Berry movie. It's a

0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:44.400
<v Speaker 2>Catwoman level kind of reimagining of her powers and where

0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:47.440
<v Speaker 2>they come from. And then she's like, Okay, cool, I

0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:49.719
<v Speaker 2>guess I can see the future now. And I can

0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:53.120
<v Speaker 2>actually project. Thanks Peruvian guy, I'm out. I'm going back

0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:56.440
<v Speaker 2>to New York where Ezekiel is trying to kill her

0:11:56.480 --> 0:12:01.120
<v Speaker 2>three teenage charges and he's chasing through New York City

0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:04.240
<v Speaker 2>and he's gonna kill Ben Parker, and he's gonna kill

0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:06.840
<v Speaker 2>Mary Parker and maybe Peter Parker and that would be

0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:11.880
<v Speaker 2>really bad. But luckily Cassie remembers when Mike Kep said

0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:14.839
<v Speaker 2>there was a dangerous warehouse full of fireworks before he

0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:18.480
<v Speaker 2>was killed by a truck. So she takes the children

0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:22.000
<v Speaker 2>to the dangerous fireworks. I'm telling you, unlikable, just terrible

0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:24.839
<v Speaker 2>role model. So she takes the teenagers, who, by the way,

0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:27.440
<v Speaker 2>we haven't really talked about this yet, they don't have

0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:29.560
<v Speaker 2>any powers. They are not in Spider People.

0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:32.880
<v Speaker 3>They will have powers, but they have no powers right now.

0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:35.160
<v Speaker 2>They will be in a movie that we have yet

0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:36.800
<v Speaker 2>to see, and we'll never see.

0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:38.760
<v Speaker 3>Will we see it? Will we see?

0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:41.600
<v Speaker 2>You know? I do think that Sydney Sweeney has the

0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:44.679
<v Speaker 2>star power that we could see her move into the MCU.

0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:47.559
<v Speaker 2>I would. I loved the version of Matty Franklin that

0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:49.560
<v Speaker 2>we got in this. I thought Anya was really fun,

0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:51.800
<v Speaker 2>So those three would be my big thing that I

0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:54.440
<v Speaker 2>would want to see come over. But anyway, so they're

0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:58.600
<v Speaker 2>powerless teens that she takes into a fireworks factory and

0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:03.000
<v Speaker 2>then they start setting works off with flares. By the way,

0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:05.640
<v Speaker 2>also at this point I must mention that they have

0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:11.120
<v Speaker 2>electric shocked Ezekiel off the top of a ambulance using

0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:17.400
<v Speaker 2>the paddles. It's all very unsafe, and Ezekiel has a

0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:22.760
<v Speaker 2>Miles Morales esque spider costume which we will talk about

0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:26.080
<v Speaker 2>this afterwards, but like essentially makes him the first person

0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:26.720
<v Speaker 2>in the cannon.

0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:32.120
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely hated that they did that, terrible choice.

0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:35.240
<v Speaker 2>Ezekiel is most famous, and they do this in the

0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:37.760
<v Speaker 2>movie quite a lot, and it is quite funny. His

0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:41.040
<v Speaker 2>costume is just a man wearing a suit with no shoes.

0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:44.120
<v Speaker 2>He's just got bare feet and and and he is

0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:46.200
<v Speaker 2>doing that in the movie. So there was no need

0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:48.240
<v Speaker 2>for this weird spider costume, but I guess someone had

0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:52.200
<v Speaker 2>to add one, so they said it's him. So they're

0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:54.800
<v Speaker 2>in the firebucks factory, Ezekiel comes. He puts all the

0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:57.600
<v Speaker 2>girls in danger, but don't worry, Madam Webkin astro project,

0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:00.800
<v Speaker 2>so she astrally projects to three different places, saves the girls,

0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:04.200
<v Speaker 2>then if you've been wondering throughout this movie while watching it,

0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:07.600
<v Speaker 2>why is there so much Pepsi promotion in this movie?

0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:10.480
<v Speaker 2>Why is that the brand that they decided to go for, Well,

0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:14.240
<v Speaker 2>don't worry, because you know how Ezekiel is defeated by

0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:17.200
<v Speaker 2>a giant Pepsi sign that falls on him. That is

0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:20.200
<v Speaker 2>really what happens. Pepsi was like, we want to put

0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:22.320
<v Speaker 2>the promotion in this movie so bad, we don't even

0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:25.400
<v Speaker 2>care if it kills someone. If Pepsi kills someone, that's okay,

0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:30.040
<v Speaker 2>and then all is well. Peter Parker is born, though

0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:33.040
<v Speaker 2>never named, it's just a baby. It could be Peter's

0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:35.320
<v Speaker 2>sister who was secretly born and in like two issues

0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:37.680
<v Speaker 2>of the comics, but we can assume it's probably supposed

0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:40.920
<v Speaker 2>to be Peter. Uncle Ben says, oh, I like to

0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:43.880
<v Speaker 2>be an uncle. It's all the power, all the responsibility,

0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:48.720
<v Speaker 2>but like, no, all the fun, And then she goes,

0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:52.560
<v Speaker 2>that's what he thinks, because she knows he's that those

0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:54.720
<v Speaker 2>parents are gonna die. She knows everything, and she doesn't

0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:57.880
<v Speaker 2>want anyone She just lets it happen. And a year

0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:01.040
<v Speaker 2>in the future, we see Madam Web and her adopted

0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:04.040
<v Speaker 2>spider children what happened to their parents. No one cares.

0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:07.440
<v Speaker 3>They don't care any They're just out free, living free now.

0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:10.320
<v Speaker 2>Just living free with Madam Webb, who is now blind

0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:14.960
<v Speaker 2>after the Pepsi sign incident and in a wheelchair, because

0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:16.960
<v Speaker 2>that's what happens to Madam web And they tried to

0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:19.280
<v Speaker 2>make her look marginally older because, as we have talked

0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:20.440
<v Speaker 2>about before, Madame.

0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:23.920
<v Speaker 1>Weber an ancient woman.

0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:28.080
<v Speaker 2>And then we get a hilarious moment where Madam Webb

0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:30.680
<v Speaker 2>envisions the future where they're all spider people, which is

0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:33.640
<v Speaker 2>what we saw in the trailers. And then the funniest

0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:36.120
<v Speaker 2>part is at the end where she has a spider

0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:38.320
<v Speaker 2>walking over her hand and she looks at the audience

0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:40.840
<v Speaker 2>and says, the best thing about the future is it

0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:43.760
<v Speaker 2>hasn't happened yet. And that's the end of the movie.

0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:44.960
<v Speaker 2>That's Madam webb.

0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:48.479
<v Speaker 1>Incredible film.

0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:55.000
<v Speaker 3>I died every time Ezekiel said anything, I.

0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:57.280
<v Speaker 2>Know, I'm like justice for Taha because that is like

0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:01.080
<v Speaker 2>just ridiculous, Like, yeah, every time he says anything, You're like,

0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:05.680
<v Speaker 2>why did they do the most gravelly outrageous villain voice

0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:08.160
<v Speaker 2>actor adr Like it's just shocking.

0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:11.000
<v Speaker 1>And it also seems as if one of the notes

0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:18.080
<v Speaker 1>was like, hey, we're not really understanding what the villain's

0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:23.000
<v Speaker 1>motivation is, so can you have him mention some version

0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:25.800
<v Speaker 1>of in the future.

0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:28.640
<v Speaker 3>They will destroy me? Yeah, those girls cannot exist.

0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:32.080
<v Speaker 1>He says it almost every single They're trying to kill

0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:32.840
<v Speaker 1>me in the future.

0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:34.120
<v Speaker 2>I can't let that happen.

0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:37.200
<v Speaker 3>Those girls are in my future, but I am my.

0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:40.720
<v Speaker 2>Dreams and every night, like do you know what it's

0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:43.920
<v Speaker 2>like to die every night? I mean, this movie is

0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:48.400
<v Speaker 2>like so unbelievably silly, but I did have a very

0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:51.120
<v Speaker 2>fun time watching it, Like it is one of those Yeah,

0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:53.680
<v Speaker 2>it's not like Morbius, where I found Morebus to be

0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:57.200
<v Speaker 2>quite dry and not as silly as it should be.

0:16:57.280 --> 0:16:59.440
<v Speaker 2>Though Matt Smith is great and Morbius and was having

0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:01.760
<v Speaker 2>a great time. This is more of a movie wheb

0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:05.200
<v Speaker 2>whatever Dakota Johnson says, and she has said many incredible

0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:08.320
<v Speaker 2>things about this movie. There is no way that people

0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:11.400
<v Speaker 2>didn't know what this movie was. Like you're sitting there, Yeah,

0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:15.320
<v Speaker 2>come Mom's diary and you're saying, ah, Spider, people like

0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:17.600
<v Speaker 2>you see what the movie was. And she knows some

0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:22.520
<v Speaker 2>really great weird acting, like the characterization of Cassie Webb

0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:28.200
<v Speaker 2>is so unlikable that it's like fantastic. It's just absolutely baffling.

0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:30.280
<v Speaker 3>I agree with you.

0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:33.359
<v Speaker 1>I actually think to Cooda Johnson as an actor, like

0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:36.640
<v Speaker 1>when she is in bitchy gear, when she's like kind

0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:41.840
<v Speaker 1>of toxic and sniping at people, it's actually really compelling.

0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:45.240
<v Speaker 1>It's when she has to shift in any into any

0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:49.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of other kind of mode that it doesn't carry over.

0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:55.160
<v Speaker 1>But there is something like weirdly interesting about her depiction

0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:59.760
<v Speaker 1>of Madam Webb as a completely like unlikable person.

0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:04.760
<v Speaker 2>I know, And it's especially strange because like, who who

0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:05.679
<v Speaker 2>is this movie for?

0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:10.880
<v Speaker 1>That's like that's the thing for the investors, for the stockholders,

0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:12.440
<v Speaker 1>the stockholders.

0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:14.680
<v Speaker 2>Also, can we just talk about the fact I think

0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:16.920
<v Speaker 2>about this every time I watch one of these movies,

0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:20.480
<v Speaker 2>but like, how funny is the The acronym for these

0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:25.080
<v Speaker 2>movies is Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters, which essentially

0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:29.960
<v Speaker 2>is Spumker Spunker. I don't know, that's why it's just

0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:32.120
<v Speaker 2>so good. We'll be right back after a quick brick.

0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:46.000
<v Speaker 1>And we're back.

0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:50.200
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So the next movie in this series is gonna

0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:55.359
<v Speaker 2>be Craven R rated Aaron Taylor Johnson arguably one of

0:18:55.359 --> 0:19:01.679
<v Speaker 2>the best actors future future James Bond. It's r rated.

0:19:01.920 --> 0:19:05.280
<v Speaker 2>He's gonna be a craven who like loves animals, I think,

0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:09.480
<v Speaker 2>and is gonna be killing, uh, killing hunters, which just

0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:12.960
<v Speaker 2>seems absolutely Boncerus Russell Crowe is in it. I mean,

0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:16.080
<v Speaker 2>I can't wait. That's like my most anticipated movie. I'm

0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:20.040
<v Speaker 2>going but I think it's just gonna be completely ridiculous.

0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:24.320
<v Speaker 2>This is if our recap sounded silly, it is nothing

0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:27.680
<v Speaker 2>compared to actually watching the movie, which but we didn't

0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:30.240
<v Speaker 2>even get into the fact that when she goes back

0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:36.399
<v Speaker 2>to Peru, the Los Arnus leader does a reimagining of

0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:40.160
<v Speaker 2>the with great power comes great responsibility. He says, if

0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:43.520
<v Speaker 2>you take on the responsibility, the power will come, Like

0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:45.240
<v Speaker 2>if you build it, they will come.

0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:51.199
<v Speaker 3>I rolled my eyes so hard, dude, not to mention that.

0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:54.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that's funny, and I'm glad that it's funny, because

0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:58.440
<v Speaker 1>if it was like slightly better, it would have completely

0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:03.000
<v Speaker 1>undercut that saying and the power of it for Spider Man. Like,

0:20:03.640 --> 0:20:06.199
<v Speaker 1>but the fact that they tried so many times to

0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:09.920
<v Speaker 1>do that to kind of like repurpose Spider Man lore

0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:14.280
<v Speaker 1>and sayings around this character is just absolutely hilarious.

0:20:14.560 --> 0:20:17.160
<v Speaker 2>I think I would rather have The rumor was, because

0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:21.000
<v Speaker 2>you see them eating fortune cookies. The rumor was Uncle

0:20:21.000 --> 0:20:23.280
<v Speaker 2>Bem was gonna find that line in a fortune cookie.

0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:25.240
<v Speaker 2>And I think I actually would have preferred that because

0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:28.920
<v Speaker 2>the way they did it was like so bad. But anyway, anyway,

0:20:29.200 --> 0:20:33.240
<v Speaker 2>what a picture, What a film, folks, That's cinema.

0:20:33.720 --> 0:20:35.400
<v Speaker 3>That is true cinema.

0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:38.520
<v Speaker 1>Every episode we close the show with a variety fast

0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:41.280
<v Speaker 1>moving segments. Today it's Who's Who, in which we talk

0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:44.159
<v Speaker 1>about some of our favorite weird characters from a given universe.

0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:48.080
<v Speaker 1>This episode we're doing our favorite spider Man weirdos.

0:20:48.200 --> 0:20:48.760
<v Speaker 3>I got one.

0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:51.360
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you the one I love, Golden sponge Cake

0:20:51.400 --> 0:20:55.800
<v Speaker 1>spider Man. So, Golden sponge Cake spider Man is a

0:20:55.920 --> 0:21:00.960
<v Speaker 1>play on the hostess ads that you would get with

0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:02.960
<v Speaker 1>your like apple Pie, and it would have a little

0:21:02.960 --> 0:21:08.119
<v Speaker 1>comic that would include usually a Marvel character eating the

0:21:09.480 --> 0:21:13.560
<v Speaker 1>cake and this is part of their advertising. And he

0:21:13.640 --> 0:21:17.199
<v Speaker 1>existed briefly in the comics until he was until he

0:21:17.280 --> 0:21:19.520
<v Speaker 1>was killed. Golden sponge Cake Spider Man.

0:21:19.600 --> 0:21:22.199
<v Speaker 2>I have to say those host esk ads, if you

0:21:22.240 --> 0:21:25.239
<v Speaker 2>have never read those, they are so delightful. You can

0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:27.840
<v Speaker 2>read them online. If you want to go into a

0:21:27.840 --> 0:21:29.960
<v Speaker 2>comic shop, you can just buy any old back issue

0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:32.200
<v Speaker 2>and you'll likely find them. But the comic shop I

0:21:32.240 --> 0:21:34.760
<v Speaker 2>used to work out, we actually did an exhibition of

0:21:34.800 --> 0:21:37.800
<v Speaker 2>them because they are that legendary. So I love that pole. Okay,

0:21:37.840 --> 0:21:39.760
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't sure who to pick, but now we're on

0:21:39.800 --> 0:21:42.280
<v Speaker 2>a food theme, so I'm going to go for What

0:21:42.359 --> 0:21:49.399
<v Speaker 2>about this one Spider Ramen Oh Spider Verse issue five

0:21:49.560 --> 0:21:52.959
<v Speaker 2>from twenty twenty. He comes from a future alternate timeline

0:21:53.640 --> 0:21:56.479
<v Speaker 2>and he can just make as many bowls of Ramen

0:21:56.840 --> 0:21:59.359
<v Speaker 2>as he wants, and he is a giant bowl of

0:21:59.440 --> 0:22:01.760
<v Speaker 2>Ramen in a Spider Man suit, and he uses this

0:22:01.920 --> 0:22:05.480
<v Speaker 2>power of infinite food to go around feeding the needy

0:22:05.520 --> 0:22:10.040
<v Speaker 2>and vulnerable. Well, the legend and it was created by

0:22:10.119 --> 0:22:13.560
<v Speaker 2>a fan named Steve Poole as part of a campaign

0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:15.960
<v Speaker 2>when Marvel invited people to pitch their own additions to

0:22:16.000 --> 0:22:19.120
<v Speaker 2>the Spider Man and it is like so funny, So yeah,

0:22:19.119 --> 0:22:21.400
<v Speaker 2>I love that that was our food them too soon.
