We didn't know, we didn't know where 26 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 2: it was. 27 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 3: What if did not hit for us in that way, 28 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 3: And it's obviously hard to top anything or even come 29 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 3: close to X Men ninety seven. But I was just 30 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 3: really pleasantly surprised by these first two episodes, which I 31 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 3: probably shouldn't have been because Trummel, who is the showrunner, 32 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 3: he is an incredible creator. He's a big hand in 33 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 3: Craig of the Creek, which just finished, and I. 34 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 2: Just should have not. 35 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 3: I probably should have known that this was going to 36 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 3: be targeted directly at me because I love a show 37 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 3: with a big group of kids, and all the kids 38 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 3: are going through it and they're living their life and 39 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 3: you just want to protect them. And also I was 40 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 3: kind of blown away by the breadth of characters that 41 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 3: we meet in the first There's. 42 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,839 Speaker 1: So many, I mean many, so many right away. 43 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 3: But you know, you know what, it kind of reminded 44 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 3: me of is like the old Spider Man cartoons that 45 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 3: some of which are on Disney. 46 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: Plus we still. 47 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 2: Don't have it. 48 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, the eighties one, especially when you go back and 49 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 3: watch those as an adult, you are like, oh my god, 50 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 3: every famous Marvel character is in these episodes. 51 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 2: Like you go back and there's. 52 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 3: Lizards there, and you know some random, like deep cut 53 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 3: kind of female character they created just for the show 54 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 3: who went on to be part of the Marble universe. 55 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 3: Like when you go back and watch them, that eighties 56 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 3: ninety Spider Man show, you can really watch every single 57 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 3: major arc happen in it, and it's very direct, and 58 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 3: it's very much like a sort of adventure of the 59 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 3: week occasional kind of crossover plot lines. But this reminded 60 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 3: me of that because family characters, though are but it 61 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,519 Speaker 3: felt more like contemporary animation, where there is a direct 62 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 3: plot that is going through this show. Every single episode 63 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 3: is gonna connect. 64 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 1: Yes, and visa vis animation. I was a little bit. 65 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: It took me a little bit of episode one to 66 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: kind of get used to it. I was I was like, God, 67 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: am I watching Archer? 68 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 2: But the action is line weight definitely screamed. 69 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, the action is one reethera line weight is quite 70 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: very bold. A lot of contrasts. 71 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 2: Very critic say, I. 72 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 3: Was feeling like, allegedly they were trying to go for 73 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 3: that Dickco kind of jomre me a senior look, and 74 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 3: I do feel like that. But for me those it's 75 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 3: got that samny crispness, that kind of throw back to 76 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 3: the gold Yeah, I'm the same, you know what, I 77 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 3: think this most the first episode watching it, the reaction 78 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 3: I had that I think is most akin to another 79 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 3: show that we love, is like, you know, the first 80 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 3: time you watch like Rebels and you were like, this 81 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 3: animation style is just I don't get it. 82 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 2: I'm old. 83 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 3: This is made for kids who are so much younger 84 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 3: than me. But once you get into the characters, you 85 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 3: begin to love it. You love the character designs. This 86 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 3: happened to me very quickly in this show, because Yeah, 87 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 3: there are just certain choices they make that we'll get 88 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 3: into in our recaps that I feel like, just scream like, 89 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 3: we love comic books, we care about comic books, and 90 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 3: we want to make a great comic book TV show 91 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 3: for kids, and I think that's so vital and needed, 92 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 3: and I love you know, I'll talk about this more. 93 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 3: But I think, you know, all of us come into 94 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 3: a show like this and we think, oh, well, what 95 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 3: about the Mars Morales Spider Verse. That's groundbreaking, that's a 96 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 3: whole different space, like what can Disney do? And I 97 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 3: think that the biggest impact that Spider Use had on 98 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 3: this is actually not the animation, but the fact that 99 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 3: now because of Spider Verse, because of Miles, you have 100 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 3: to realistically render New York City and what it's actually like. 101 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 3: And this to me feels like this diverse, melting pot, 102 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 3: like gorgeous, kind of probably way more close to what 103 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 3: kids actually at school go through nowadays. And yeah, I 104 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 3: think Spider Verse is like so impactful on so many levels, 105 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 3: and it kind of moved me that that was the 106 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 3: big thing. Also, we do get a funny new reimagining 107 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 3: of Peter's origin that's definitely in that MCU space of 108 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 3: always behind Miles, Like whatever happens to Miles when Peter 109 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 3: starts doing something with Disney, it's probably Miles influenced. 110 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: Well, we will talk about all of that in detail 111 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: as we move into our spoiler filled review. 112 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 2: Spoiler filed, so the spoiler alarm is going off, guys. 113 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: We'll be right back after word from our sponsors. 114 00:05:55,040 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 4: Yeah okay. 115 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: Episode one, Your Friendly Neighborhood spider Man, directed by Mels Wire, 116 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: written by showrunner Shift Frommel we meet the teenage Peter Parker, 117 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 1: and he's everything that you think about when you think 118 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 1: about Peter Parker. He is very smart, he's late for 119 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: school as he always is. 120 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 2: Awkward, he's a little awkward. He lives, still have out May. 121 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: We've got hot name makes her animation debut, but I 122 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 1: love it. Uncle Ben is already dead in an event 123 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: that seems to be not connected to Spider Man's evolution 124 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: in terms of his crime fighting philosophy. One thing I 125 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:57,239 Speaker 1: want to say about about Hudson Thames. He does the voice. 126 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: He does have a deep, kind of like a scratchy voice. 127 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: We need to normalize Spider Man Peter Parker having a 128 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: very very like thick New York accent. Yes, I don't 129 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: understand why he doesn't sound like a fucking beastie boy 130 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: or something. 131 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 2: Exactly from Queen's Let's let him let him. 132 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: Happy, let him the accent, let him sound like one 133 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: of the Ramones. 134 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 2: That's all. 135 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: That's all I'm thinking.

He's swinging around, he's made in a costume, 224 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 1: he's made the web slingers all homemade, so it looks. 225 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 2: You know, what it does have that we've never had 226 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 2: before though. 227 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:31,199 Speaker 3: It shows where the propulsion of the webs comes from 228 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 3: because he has like like a scuba tank. It's like 229 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 3: a scuba tank on his back.

Yeah, is a character, So Lonnie is 340 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: a comic book character, and Miles, I think this could 341 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 1: be a spoiler if you want. 342 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,919 Speaker 3: To put if you want to put the spoiler ear 343 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 3: muffs on, take out your air pods. 344 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:06,640 Speaker 2: This could be a spoiler. 345 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 3: But I also think that what they're doing here is 346 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 3: a really empathetic version of the character. If it is 347 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 3: him in the comics Lonnie Lincoln, Alonzo Lincoln, spoiler Illa, 348 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 3: that's the Spider. 349 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 2: Man villain Tombstone. 350 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 3: So so it does seem here that they probably are 351 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,400 Speaker 3: going to set up Lonni for that, especially when him 352 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 3: and Peter have this interaction and it's very clear that 353 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 3: Lonnie is kind of like, do you want to hang out? 354 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 2: Like can I come to your house? And Peter is. 355 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,919 Speaker 3: Still a bit burnt out about pul So then we 356 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:39,400 Speaker 3: see Lonnie heading home and he takes the subway and 357 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 3: on the way there, they do a great job of 358 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 3: establishing that while Lonnie goes to Midtown High his neighborhood 359 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 3: in Harlem is not being looked out for, like he 360 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:53,120 Speaker 3: experiences racism on the subway. But what I really thought 361 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 3: was great about this was that is all outside issues 362 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 3: that Lonnie is dealing with as part of society. But 363 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 3: when he gets into that house, Chase and his home 364 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 3: life and family are great. There were they love him, 365 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 3: They're so happy to see him, And I just thought 366 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,399 Speaker 3: that was really cool and kind of once again showing 367 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 3: that this show can do something intricate and interesting without 368 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,719 Speaker 3: falling into like a lot of stereotypes and tropes that 369 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 3: we've gotten in other shows. 370 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 2: So I'm already a big Lonnie fan. 371 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 3: He is my breakout character for this first episode. I 372 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 3: just thought he was so well drawn and interesting, banging 373 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 3: character design, such a cool kind of play on the 374 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 3: general romantic triangles that Peter always gets himself into. 375 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 2: Here, it's kind of Pearl and Lonnie who both really. 376 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 3: Like him, and he's kind of the one who's like, oh, 377 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 3: I wish I was going out with Pearl, but the 378 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 3: three of them together seem to really get along. Yeah, 379 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 3: and then you know, we get to this kind of 380 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 3: final couple of minutes. 381 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 2: Jason, how does the episode end? 382 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 1: Well? Spider Man continues, of course to fight crimes, and 383 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,360 Speaker 1: we see a little bit of something I think there's 384 00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 1: really unique to Spider Man, who has like a Matt 385 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: like a huge, massive, one of the biggest rogues galleries 386 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: like in comics, if not the biggest of a major character. 387 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 1: Like there's probably fifty villains, major and minor villains that 388 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: Spider Man has. And one of the things that I 389 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 1: think is unique to Spider Man is a lot of 390 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: those villains get redeemed because Spider Man is a good 391 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: guy and end up becoming not heroes, but like anti heroes. 392 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 1: So like Venom, this has happened to Venom, this has 393 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:34,199 Speaker 1: happened to Black Cat, on and on and on. You know, 394 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 1: Harry Osborne is like it goes between good and bad sometimes, 395 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: And so we see here Spider Man has apprehended a thief, 396 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 1: but rather than turn the thief in, Spider tries to 397 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: convince the pizza shop owner like, hey, let's just like 398 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: let it go because this person obviously feels really really 399 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: bad and they're down on their luck and they just 400 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: did something on the spur of the moment. 401 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 2: Finally, and not just immediately sending people to the cops, 402 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,400 Speaker 2: as this show does. He does. 403 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,199 Speaker 3: He does have a very Spider Man game tendency here 404 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,880 Speaker 3: where he's always just webbing up randoms and being like, now, 405 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 3: they're in the incarceration system, and you're like, Peter, imagine 406 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 3: a bad day, and he did. 407 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 2: I really loved that interaction. 408 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 3: And then we get this crazy moment where on the 409 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,880 Speaker 3: way home he finds a free he gets a free 410 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,159 Speaker 3: pizza from the pizza guy, and he finds a DVD player, 411 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 3: which immediately throws your mind back to the first Spider 412 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 3: Man movie. We're in the MCU with Tom Hollands. That's 413 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 3: the night that he goes home and something incredible happens, 414 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 3: and that happens here, but. 415 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:33,719 Speaker 2: This is where we learn that we're not in our 416 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 2: MCU as we know it. 417 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,439 Speaker 1: So there's a really nice car in front of his 418 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: SuperM building, which he takes a selfie with, and when 419 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: he gets inside, he realizes that car belongs to Norman 420 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 1: don Dun Dun Dun, who in this imagining is a 421 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: black gentleman, which is wonderful because that means he has 422 00:21:55,760 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 1: ethnically correct him for the first time ever. 423 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 2: Because everyone, and this is if you don't know. 424 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 3: About this, there's a running joke that for some reason, 425 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 3: they always draw Norman Osborne with waves. 426 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,679 Speaker 2: And everyone's always like, so is Norman Osborne black? 427 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 4: Like? 428 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 2: And I love that here. 429 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 3: They were like, yes, he is black. He is also 430 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 3: clearly this universe is Tony Stark. He has Oz Corp. 431 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 3: He has all that stuff I does. 432 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 1: Stark is around Jem. 433 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 2: He's around because because because he has a little Iron 434 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:30,120 Speaker 2: Man figure. 435 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 3: But yeah, to see Norman here with the voice by 436 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 3: the incredibly talented Common Domingo, who's about to be all 437 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 3: over your screens for Awards season, I just thought this 438 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 3: was such a cool way to end the episode. Jason, 439 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 3: what was like your breakout moment from this episode that 440 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,919 Speaker 3: made you want to click and watch the next one? 441 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: I think the Norman Osbourne, the Norman Osborn drop is great, 442 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:57,639 Speaker 1: just all the characters that they are sprinkling in throughout. 443 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: The addition of Nico was a prize and I really 444 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: enjoyed that. It made me wonder, like, are her parents 445 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,199 Speaker 1: super villains in this telling? And does she not know 446 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 1: that her parents are like a big time organized crime villains. 447 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 1: That's a really interesting thing to think about. I really 448 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: liked I really like the way the animation works with 449 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: the action. I will say that I think I don't 450 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,120 Speaker 1: know if this is conscious or not, but it felt 451 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: like some of the choppiness which feels purposeful, feels like 452 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 1: a callback to the original Amazing Spider Man Spider Man 453 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: and His Amazing Friends eighties cartoon, just something to make 454 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 1: it feel like there's a through line between those properties, 455 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 1: and there is a through line in that. One of 456 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: the crazy things about the Spider Man in an Amazing 457 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 1: Friends cartoon was like, how random the characters they threw 458 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: in with Spider Man are, you know, Like he's partnered 459 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 1: up with Iceman, who is an X men, Like what 460 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: exactly food they made for the show?

This is a half an 486 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 3: hour show, and I think I think that adds to 487 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 3: it too. 488 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:30,679 Speaker 1: Up next episode two after a word from us, Yeah, 489 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 1: and we're at okay.

Peter can't stay for 511 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: the game though he has to go to his internship. 512 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 1: He is late for it. He gets there, you know, 513 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,639 Speaker 1: he gets killed by the elevator doors. And then he 514 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: meets the fellow in turns in the program there is 515 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 1: Amadeus Chow New York City. 516 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,360 Speaker 2: Who he's gonna be the Hawk. 517 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 1: Probably the smartest guy in this building and a gene 518 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 1: from Lyon tell Us about these characters. 519 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 3: Okay, so Asha Asha is a real relatively recent creation. 520 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 2: She was actually introduced in twenty thirteen. 521 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 3: She was the Wakandan emissary during the Contest of Champions. Essentially, 522 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 3: she was chosen as one of three students from Wakanda 523 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 3: and the Wakanan School for Alternative Studies to basically kind 524 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 3: of spread the tech of Wakanda's help save the world 525 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 3: from fanos in the comics, and we see her here 526 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 3: now in this stow She was Actually this was a 527 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 3: really interesting one because I always watched the creator credit 528 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,640 Speaker 3: thanks at the end, and Matt Kin was on for this, 529 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,400 Speaker 3: and it is because Matt Kin, in his rare Marvel 530 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:05,439 Speaker 3: work donning indie cartoonist and Brier, he worked with the 531 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 3: Stephen Sanders, the artist to create this story and this character. 532 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 2: So that's really cool. 533 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 3: Jane is a really interesting one because that's another like 534 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 3: super super deep cut character from the Marvel universe. There's 535 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 3: not really a lot kind of she doesn't have a 536 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 3: lot of canon, but her code name is Finesse and 537 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 3: she was created by Christos Gage and Mike McCone. 538 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 2: It's very interesting. 539 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,919 Speaker 3: She's essentially kind of like a young task Master, and 540 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 3: in the comics you wonder is her father task Master, 541 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 3: but it's not clear. She graduated MIT at fourteen in 542 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 3: the comics and was also an Olympic athlete. This is 543 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 3: another one of those weird comics. I wasn't expecting them 544 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 3: to pull through Avengers Academy. That's such a great story. 545 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 3: Jean plays a long role in that. 546 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 2: I love that book. 547 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 3: And of course Amadeus Cho who you probably know about, 548 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 3: who is And again I would they put your is 549 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 3: over your it be hands over you is if you 550 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 3: don't want to hear a spoiler, because this feels like 551 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 3: it's coming, the other one thinks. So I don't think 552 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 3: I don't necessarily know in this store, in this show, 553 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 3: but I will say I do think that Amadaeus's if 554 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 3: he's not one of their top tier guys right now, 555 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 3: as a potential for a young Avengers or a new era, 556 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 3: I think they're making mistakes because I love this character. 557 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 3: He was created a Greg park and This and a 558 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 3: Canadian artist called Takashi mi Azawa, and first peted in an 559 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 3: Amazing Fantasy volume two fifteen, same place as Spider Man. 560 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 3: First appeared in his Amazing Fantasy volume one, and he's 561 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 3: a Korean American kid, absolute genius, and he succeeded Bruce 562 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 3: Banner to become the Hulk in the comics. 563 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 2: I don't think we're going to see him hulking out here. 564 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 3: But I don't think it was an accident that they 565 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 3: introduced these characters, who are all young superhero characters who 566 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 3: do or could have powers. 567 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 1: Well, it's an incredible group. Their manager, however, is not 568 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 1: necessarily an incredible guy. That is doctor Whitman, who is 569 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 1: kind of very mean, miserly, kind of older gentleman who 570 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: is brilliant, is in his own right. I think we 571 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 1: will discover eventually. 572 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 3: I was going to say, this feels like a definitely 573 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 3: probable spoiler. If you want to such the name Whitman 574 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 3: w I T. T. M an and novel, you may 575 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 3: find out who this character is. But I agree with you, Jason, 576 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 3: this is I need tond out because it's probably a spoiler. 577 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 1: Uh. Peter is like, hey, when Norman came to my apartment, 578 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: he said to come see him as soon as I 579 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 1: got in the building, and it was like yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever, 580 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 1: give me a you're an inn that's not going to happen. 581 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 1: What is going to happen is we're going to put 582 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 1: you through your paces right now with the kind of 583 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 1: a multi field review of your science knowledge, and that 584 00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: will dictate what part of the company you go to. 585 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 1: Peter of course wants robotics, but that goes to Amideis 586 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: because Amideus is probably like a top three smartest. 587 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 2: He's already probably played like five thousand drones. Yeah, yeah, 588 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 2: he's his genius. 589 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: Peter goes to work with Carla Conners, who is not 590 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 1: yet the Lizard, but clearly they're setting it up. She 591 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 1: is working on a self sustaining power source like the 592 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 1: Stark arc reactor, but not that because it's trademark, so 593 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 1: they have to copy it and not make it seem 594 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 1: like they're copying it. Nico calls Peter during the This 595 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 1: Is after the game. She's like, Ravens won. You've been 596 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: invited and I've been invited to the football team party 597 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 1: now because it seems like everybody is saying that you 598 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: had something to do with the success because you touched 599 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,959 Speaker 1: the trophy, So you have to touch kiss the trophy 600 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 1: and you're gonna touch. 601 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 2: It every single time. 602 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 1: Well, Peter Uh, you know, is busy with his internship. 603 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 1: He's commiserating with his new coworkers when he sees a 604 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 1: news report about an arson. So Peter makes an excuse, 605 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,480 Speaker 1: which all of his new colleagues think is really weird. 606 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 2: But he he doesn't do it in a very suave way. 607 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 2: It's very awkward. Peter Parker eyes. 608 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 1: Himself, so he changes in the hallway like in a stairwell, 609 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 1: and then goes over swings over to this building to 610 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 1: see what's going on at the burning building. He meets 611 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 1: the arsonist, confronts the arsonist. Who is this dude with 612 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 1: like a helmet and two flamethrowers on his hands, who 613 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 1: you think is Butane? 614 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 2: So I did. 615 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 3: I will say it is, but I wasn't sure. But 616 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 3: in the credits they credit him as Buttane. If you 617 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 3: have never heard that character, don't worry about it. He's 618 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 3: like a Marvel British character from Excalibur issue sixty four, 619 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 3: created by the legendary Alan Davis, and he is essentially 620 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 3: in that he's more of a magical fire character like 621 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 3: Johnny Storm. He sets on fire, but he was thin. 622 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 3: He's essentially yeah, a mutant, and also he was very 623 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 3: interestingly was tracked down by the government and kind of 624 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 3: tried to help start a superpowered army. I think they 625 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 3: just wanted to do something that was a little bit 626 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,040 Speaker 3: like different. Hered The character is really really cool and 627 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 3: as you will notice, his armor is kind of branded 628 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 3: with some logo, but it's unclear like if we know 629 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 3: where that's. 630 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 1: From, right, the flamethrower stuff, he didn't clearly, it's pretty 631 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: clear that he didn't make this gears somebody someone else 632 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 1: teck yeah. So Peter fights this guy and the fight 633 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 1: spreads to a nearby pet store, and Peter has the 634 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,360 Speaker 1: same with the animals by fighting. 635 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 3: That's my favorite part of this episode is he's like 636 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 3: swinging around with a cool gi yeah and that, and 637 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 3: he's like swinging the jubbles out of the way like 638 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 3: a really great ground level supera stuff. 639 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 1: So Peter extinguishes the flames with aquarium water, then saves 640 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: the fish, and then knocks the guy out, and then 641 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 1: happens to notice that on the flamethrowers there is that 642 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: little logo.

Peter is then comes a 645 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 1: realization that he needs to get back to work, like 646 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 1: right now. He rushes back to Oscorp. Whitman is super 647 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,399 Speaker 1: fucking mad because Peter was late. 648 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,839 Speaker 2: Not for this man is this man has never been for. 649 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,319 Speaker 1: Any other possible reason, but because Peter was, like. 650 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:17,799 Speaker 2: Definitely just because he was late. 651 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 1: And Peter gets called to Norman's office. Everybody's like, ooh, 652 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 1: you're getting fired. 653 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 2: You're in trouble. 654 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,120 Speaker 1: Is at the football party wondering where Peter is at. 655 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,760 Speaker 1: Peter gets to Norman's office, he begs for his job. 656 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,759 Speaker 1: But that is not what this meeting is about. This 657 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 1: meeting is about the fact that as Norman turns around 658 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 1: his laptop, he knows that Peter Parker Spider Man because 659 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 1: he watched him get changed the Spider Man costume on 660 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:43,320 Speaker 1: the security cameras. 661 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:44,440 Speaker 2: Why did Peter do? 662 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,840 Speaker 3: I was crying one bold to just change your clothes 663 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:55,360 Speaker 3: in a static dude, Like just go to somewhere, go 664 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,959 Speaker 3: to a public moth room or something, or a telephone box. 665 00:34:57,960 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 2: We have a superman passion.

I think that they're gonna use him 672 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 1: as as the kind of role that Stark plays for 673 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:24,440 Speaker 1: Peter in some of the more recent more recent but 674 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:28,320 Speaker 1: like in the last twenty years Tony and Peter twenty 675 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:33,840 Speaker 1: five years of comics history, Tony and Peter have become closer, 676 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,960 Speaker 1: like they work closely together to the point that Stark 677 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 1: is outfitting Peter with gear. And I think that's where 678 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,920 Speaker 1: we're going to go here, is that Norman is going 679 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 1: to be tremendously excited by this and tremendously excited by 680 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 1: the talent and the genius that is Peter, you know, 681 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,879 Speaker 1: like coming up with that web formula all on his own, 682 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 1: all the gear that he did just out of his house, 683 00:35:56,600 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 1: and he's going to be looking to gear him up, 684 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,400 Speaker 1: which is something that he was doing in comics anyway, 685 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 1: He's going to be looking, you know, as CORP does do, 686 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:10,000 Speaker 1: like Stark, a lot of like military contracting work and 687 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:14,560 Speaker 1: weapons work and armor work, defense work, and I think 688 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 1: he'll look at this as a potential proving ground for 689 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:23,319 Speaker 1: some of his big ideas. What do you think? 690 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I totally agree with that. I feel like 691 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:32,040 Speaker 3: this show is specifically playing on what I love about comics, 692 00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 3: which is you have a situation where Norman Osborne is 693 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,520 Speaker 3: a villain, but he is also an incredibly benevolent man 694 00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,160 Speaker 3: at times. And I think the fact that we get 695 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,840 Speaker 3: the kind of maybe he's going to play that Tony 696 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:48,320 Speaker 3: Stark role is very interesting to me and also potentially 697 00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,759 Speaker 3: pre heartbreaking because I will not want to see his 698 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:54,319 Speaker 3: fall from grace, you know, which will inevitably happen. So 699 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,719 Speaker 3: I thought that was a really cool ending. I'm very 700 00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,399 Speaker 3: excited to see where it goes. And the other thing 701 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 3: I would say that I'm interested to get your thoughts 702 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:07,200 Speaker 3: on Jason is Spider Man is legendary for having that 703 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,960 Speaker 3: catchy theme tune. It's been played by the Ramones, It's 704 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:14,359 Speaker 3: been you know, interpolated, it's been changed, it's been mixed up, 705 00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 3: it's been remixed, and here we get a new version 706 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,600 Speaker 3: of it Neighbor Like Me, which is by the Math Club, 707 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 3: Relay and Mellow Makes Music. 708 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:26,440 Speaker 2: And I have to say I was very into it. 709 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,920 Speaker 3: You get that classic Spider Man kind of song, and 710 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 3: then it turns into this more this like rap track 711 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,439 Speaker 3: about rapping about what Spider Man does, which I love. 712 00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 3: I love like a rap credits theme that just tells 713 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,279 Speaker 3: you what the characters do. They used to have them 714 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,800 Speaker 3: in like the Adams family in Casper of all things. 715 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:43,399 Speaker 2: So that was fun for me. What do you think 716 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 2: about this new the New Spider Man. 717 00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,000 Speaker 1: Love, because that's a big part. I really enjoyed it, 718 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:52,160 Speaker 1: and I think to your point there is the Spider 719 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:56,640 Speaker 1: Man video games were important because they kind of were 720 00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:02,320 Speaker 1: a place to re engage with the things that really 721 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 1: are exciting about Spider Man, his relationship to the city, 722 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:09,640 Speaker 1: the way the city is part of him, his youth, 723 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,359 Speaker 1: and all of those things come together in the in 724 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,680 Speaker 1: the details of this show, whether it's the friend group 725 00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:21,759 Speaker 1: that they've picked for him, the way they depict the lives, 726 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,360 Speaker 1: like the private lines, which comes in more as you go, 727 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,440 Speaker 1: and I've only seen episode three, but that comes in 728 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,239 Speaker 1: more and more and feels very lived in the way 729 00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:34,040 Speaker 1: they've depicted Lonnie. The choice of music, I think is 730 00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:37,600 Speaker 1: one of those things, and it's great, It's really it's 731 00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:41,239 Speaker 1: really fun, you know, once I got used to the 732 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:45,480 Speaker 1: animation style, I was I was locked in. 733 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,440 Speaker 3: I think they're yeah, I did look in it's not 734 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:49,600 Speaker 3: second screen watching. 735 00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,200 Speaker 1: There are so many easter eggs, like in when he 736 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,120 Speaker 1: goes to Lannie's apartment, and when we go to Lonnie's apartment, 737 00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,480 Speaker 1: we see, you know, what Lonnie's home life is like. 738 00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,840 Speaker 1: And then you see on a end table there's a 739 00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 1: daily bugle with a picture from Spider Man saving Harry Osbourne. 740 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:14,279 Speaker 1: Mm hmmm, and yeah, that is it. That is, you know, 741 00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 1: a direct reimagining of Amazing of Spider Man's debut story. 742 00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:27,520 Speaker 1: And he's got the guy under his arm, like from 743 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,120 Speaker 1: that it Amazing Tales fifteen. 744 00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:31,920 Speaker 2: Or Amazing Amazing Fantasy fifty. 745 00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:36,640 Speaker 1: Amazing Fantasy fifteen. So it's just so sick. It's sprinkled 746 00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:37,400 Speaker 1: through the tale. 747 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:41,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of comic books is so is so 748 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,839 Speaker 3: so clear here, Okay, Jason, So the way this show 749 00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:45,719 Speaker 3: is going to get released is going to be we 750 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:47,520 Speaker 3: get the first two episodes Wednesday, twenty ninth. 751 00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:48,359 Speaker 2: That's what we're talking about. 752 00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,879 Speaker 3: Hope you guys watch them on Wednesday February fifth. We'll 753 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:55,879 Speaker 3: get three, four and five on Wednesday February twelfth, we'll 754 00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,200 Speaker 3: get six, seven, eight, and on Web Wednesday, February nineteenth, 755 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,480 Speaker 3: we'll get nine ten. How do you feel about that 756 00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 3: double kind of triple schedule. It's a little bit different 757 00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,400 Speaker 3: for Disney. I'm glad they're doing weekly because I think 758 00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,560 Speaker 3: there's stuff to talk about hair like X Men. 759 00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 1: It's interesting. I think that clearly these are arcs that 760 00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:20,600 Speaker 1: you know, like the episode's strategy is, these are the 761 00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,320 Speaker 1: chapters of the story. So I think one and two 762 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:28,080 Speaker 1: there's a clear cliffhanger. How they feels like a new Yeah, 763 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,000 Speaker 1: it feels like when we get to three, this is 764 00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,120 Speaker 1: a new part of the story. And I think that 765 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:36,480 Speaker 1: is what they are kind of structuring around, and we'll 766 00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:38,400 Speaker 1: see how it goes. I think it's pretty smart if 767 00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:39,680 Speaker 1: it if it works. 768 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,040 Speaker 3: If it's character, if it's like comic book arcs, like 769 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:43,040 Speaker 3: different little stories. 770 00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,120 Speaker 2: I love that take. That's really smart, Jason. 771 00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:50,960 Speaker 3: And also, finally, if you could, like, what's your big dream, 772 00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,719 Speaker 3: wild character or moment that you hope to see in 773 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,520 Speaker 3: the ten episodes in this style or that speaks to 774 00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 3: you in this kind of storytelling. 775 00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:03,399 Speaker 1: I don't know, Gosh, that's a good question. I guess 776 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 1: we would I would love to know how active the 777 00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:15,160 Speaker 1: other superheroes in the world are. I guess like that Strange. Yeah, 778 00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,719 Speaker 1: they didn't know Doctor Strange. He's a wandom wizard guy. 779 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,160 Speaker 1: He might be just like so low key that you know, 780 00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:24,560 Speaker 1: you never hear from him because he's like down in 781 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:28,800 Speaker 1: Greenwich Village. I'm just doing ship like in other realms. 782 00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:31,400 Speaker 1: But I would love to know if we're gonna get 783 00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:35,400 Speaker 1: any similar cameos to the Doctor Strange cameo.

I think that's 788 00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:53,799 Speaker 1: what's going to be interesting to me. 789 00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:55,600 Speaker 2: What about you, Yeah, I agree. 790 00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,040 Speaker 3: I would love to see Paul and Nico kind of 791 00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,080 Speaker 3: help Peeter out in the late episodes.
