WEBVTT - Spider-man: Into the Spider-verse

0:00:01.000 --> 0:00:02.160
<v Speaker 1>On the Bechdel Cast.

0:00:02.240 --> 0:00:05.720
<v Speaker 2>The questions asked if movies have women and them, are

0:00:05.840 --> 0:00:08.440
<v Speaker 2>all their discussions just boyfriends and husbands, or do they

0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:14.080
<v Speaker 2>have individualism? It's the patriarchy, Zephim Beast start changing with

0:00:14.160 --> 0:00:15.320
<v Speaker 2>the Bechdel Cast.

0:00:16.320 --> 0:00:22.319
<v Speaker 3>Jamie, Caitlyn, when you get knocked down, you have to

0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:23.240
<v Speaker 3>get back up again.

0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:26.760
<v Speaker 1>You're never gonna Spider Man down. I get knocked down.

0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Is that what you're doing? I know what you're talking about,

0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:32.479
<v Speaker 1>but you set me up for it.

0:00:32.840 --> 0:00:35.919
<v Speaker 3>He he, No, and I'm glad you did that.

0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:37.240
<v Speaker 1>Thank you.

0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:40.720
<v Speaker 3>Hello everyone. My name is Caitlin Dante.

0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:42.800
<v Speaker 1>My name is Jamie Loftus, and.

0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:47.320
<v Speaker 3>This is the Bechdel Cast, our show where we where

0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:51.040
<v Speaker 3>we analyze movies through an intersectional feminist lens, using the

0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:55.520
<v Speaker 3>Bechdel Test as a jumping off point. We'll tell you

0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:59.440
<v Speaker 3>what that is in a moment. Today is a special

0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:06.400
<v Speaker 3>episode because we are releasing an episode that we recorded

0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:10.680
<v Speaker 3>for the Matreon. Yes, I think like four years ago.

0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean we and you in particular were very

0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:17.200
<v Speaker 1>pumped on this movie, as was the world as will

0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 1>the world be again, which is why we are unlocking

0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:23.640
<v Speaker 1>our episode about Spider Man into the Spider Verse ahead

0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:26.560
<v Speaker 1>of the sequel, which if you don't know, if you

0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:34.240
<v Speaker 1>live under a rock, no judgment Patrick Starr. Sorry, I

0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:37.680
<v Speaker 1>was watching SpongeBob this morning, okay, brag, I mean literally

0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:42.080
<v Speaker 1>lives under a rock. It's commentary. So Patrick Starr probably

0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:44.240
<v Speaker 1>doesn't know that the sequel comes out this week, and

0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:46.080
<v Speaker 1>we're very excited to see it, so we wanted to

0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:50.280
<v Speaker 1>unlock the episode. Yes, so yeah. This originally appeared on

0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:54.080
<v Speaker 1>our Patreon aka Matreon, which hey, if you like this episode,

0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 1>you can pop over there. Five bucks a month, two

0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 1>bonus episodes a month, and it's been going since twenty

0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 1>seventeen gasp.

0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:05.680
<v Speaker 3>Gasp, And this one was from May twenty nineteen. It

0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:08.600
<v Speaker 3>was one of my birthday episodes that year, so if

0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:12.680
<v Speaker 3>you hear references to it being my birthday throughout the episode,

0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:17.160
<v Speaker 3>that is why. But also it's kind of always my birthday.

0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:20.880
<v Speaker 1>Also, your birthday wasn't that long ago, so truly, let's

0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:24.480
<v Speaker 1>we're going to continue celebrating and observing your birthday.

0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:28.120
<v Speaker 3>Thank you so much. We also talk about in this

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:32.520
<v Speaker 3>episode how Alfred Molina is not in the MCU and

0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:35.200
<v Speaker 3>how that's a crime. Oh good catch, because at the

0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:39.200
<v Speaker 3>time of this recording, he was not in the MCU.

0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:43.000
<v Speaker 3>But then but then Spider Man No Way Home comes

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:46.800
<v Speaker 3>out well, well well, which is about a different Spider

0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:51.359
<v Speaker 3>Verse than the Miles Morales Spider Verse according to the

0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:54.359
<v Speaker 3>movies at least, I don't know what happens in the comics.

0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:58.920
<v Speaker 3>But Alfred Molina, we are proud to say, is now

0:02:59.000 --> 0:02:59.840
<v Speaker 3>in the MCU.

0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:04.240
<v Speaker 1>He's MCU can and honestly think, freaking god.

0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:05.760
<v Speaker 3>It's about dang time.

0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:09.040
<v Speaker 1>So that's been you know, one of the few things

0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:11.840
<v Speaker 1>Marvelous done right in the last couple of years is

0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:17.400
<v Speaker 1>finally formally induct mister Alfred Blina into the MCU. So yes,

0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:20.920
<v Speaker 1>remember this is the past. These are versions of ourselves

0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:24.480
<v Speaker 1>that are simply so stoked about Spider Man into the

0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Spider Verse. And we were right. But things have changed

0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:30.560
<v Speaker 1>and they've actually gotten much worse. So just keep that

0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:32.680
<v Speaker 1>in mind when you're listening to the episode. We have

0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 1>no idea how bad things are going to get, and

0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:37.320
<v Speaker 1>so in that way, it's kind of a window to

0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:40.800
<v Speaker 1>the past. It is, but it's true. But we're very

0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:43.920
<v Speaker 1>excited to share it with the main feed. We're obviously

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:46.760
<v Speaker 1>very pumped for the new movie we will very likely

0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:50.080
<v Speaker 1>be covering the new movie on either the main feed

0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:53.240
<v Speaker 1>or the Matreon down the line. But yeah, we wanted

0:03:53.240 --> 0:04:00.640
<v Speaker 1>to celebrate, so happy summer, and please enjoy the episode

0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:02.200
<v Speaker 1>on Spider Man into the spider Verse.

0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:05.400
<v Speaker 3>Please enjoy. But also, I guess first we should say

0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:08.960
<v Speaker 3>what the Bechdel test is, which we didn't pass when

0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:12.000
<v Speaker 3>we were talking about Alfred Molina, except that we did

0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:14.680
<v Speaker 3>make the rule that when we talk about Alfred Molina,

0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:15.560
<v Speaker 3>it does pass.

0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:17.520
<v Speaker 1>But if you've been with us for a while, you'll

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:19.760
<v Speaker 1>know that it passes on a technicality.

0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:24.719
<v Speaker 3>However, However, normally the Bechdel Test, which is the media

0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:29.280
<v Speaker 3>metric that we named the show after, even though we

0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:33.200
<v Speaker 3>talk about so much more. But the Bechdel Test is

0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:36.960
<v Speaker 3>a media metric created by queer cartoonist Alison Bechdel, sometimes

0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:42.000
<v Speaker 3>called the Bechdel Wallace Test. It first appeared in her

0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:45.560
<v Speaker 3>comic Dikes to Watch Out For as a bit and

0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:48.320
<v Speaker 3>also I want to do this more, but just to

0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:52.280
<v Speaker 3>shout out the context in which it appears in the comics,

0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:57.800
<v Speaker 3>because it's two queer women talking about how when they're

0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:01.479
<v Speaker 3>watching a movie and two women appear on screen and

0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:04.720
<v Speaker 3>they talk to each other if they're not talking about

0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:08.280
<v Speaker 3>a man. These characters in the comic strip kind of

0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:12.560
<v Speaker 3>ship the two women together because there was so little

0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:18.160
<v Speaker 3>and still is so little queer visibility on screen. Yeah,

0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:21.960
<v Speaker 3>so that is the context for the Bechdel test, the

0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:26.240
<v Speaker 3>version we use, There are many versions. Here's ours. Two

0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:30.560
<v Speaker 3>characters of a marginalized gender must have names, they have

0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:33.359
<v Speaker 3>to speak to each other, and their conversation has to

0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:37.520
<v Speaker 3>be about something other than a man. And we really

0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:41.440
<v Speaker 3>like it when it's a nice, substantial conversation and not

0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:49.039
<v Speaker 3>just a how's the weather, gale? It's good, Betty.

0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:51.360
<v Speaker 1>Although that's iconic.

0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:55.240
<v Speaker 3>I mean that's that I should write an entire script

0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:57.000
<v Speaker 3>around that conversation alone.

0:05:57.320 --> 0:05:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it should be called how well not until the

0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:02.320
<v Speaker 1>strikes every Baby, which we will be talking about on

0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:07.279
<v Speaker 1>the Matreon this month. A little peek into some bonus

0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:11.000
<v Speaker 1>content coming up. But yes, we uh that that is

0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:14.560
<v Speaker 1>what the Bechdel test is. It's especially during the month

0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:17.839
<v Speaker 1>of June Pride months. I'm glad that it's something that

0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:20.040
<v Speaker 1>we're talking about the specific context.

0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:24.000
<v Speaker 3>Yes, indeed, So with all of that in mind, please

0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:30.760
<v Speaker 3>enjoy this unlocked Patreon aka Matreon episode on Spider Man

0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:33.760
<v Speaker 3>into the Spider Verse cast.

0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:40.839
<v Speaker 1>Anyways, welcome, We're into the Spider Verse today. I'm excited, Caitlin.

0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:43.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think if you, if you're familiar with

0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:46.120
<v Speaker 1>our show, you know your history with this movie is.

0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:47.800
<v Speaker 4>But why don't you recap it?

0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:51.159
<v Speaker 3>Well? I did see the movie five times in the theater.

0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:55.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's no me and Itania, but it's pretty impressive.

0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:57.960
<v Speaker 3>Wait. How many times did you end up seeing Ititania?

0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Nine? Oh my god, I was really into it. There

0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:05.400
<v Speaker 1>is I have this very cursed screenshot of like the

0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:07.359
<v Speaker 1>two months I was signed up for a movie past

0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:11.000
<v Speaker 1>and it's like nine eye toon Yes, and then an

0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:14.280
<v Speaker 1>unsubscription once I was out of theaters. Oh my goodness, wild.

0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:18.119
<v Speaker 1>But five times is like intense. Yeah, yours you stand

0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:18.800
<v Speaker 1>this movie?

0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:19.520
<v Speaker 3>I really do.

0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:20.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:21.480
<v Speaker 3>And then your history.

0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:24.800
<v Speaker 1>Is I just saw it for the first time. I didn't.

0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:27.640
<v Speaker 1>I simply didn't see it in theaters because I was

0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:31.320
<v Speaker 1>too busy watching my DVD of Ititonya at home. But

0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:34.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I am a fan. I'm a longtime fan

0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:35.520
<v Speaker 1>of Spider Man.

0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:36.120
<v Speaker 3>Sure.

0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:41.520
<v Speaker 1>I think it's really the only superhero I've ever been

0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:44.640
<v Speaker 1>a fan to the point where I would like, go

0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:48.440
<v Speaker 1>keep up sure as best I could. Yeah, I think

0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:50.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot of that does have to do with Alfred Molina,

0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:53.600
<v Speaker 1>to be honest, obviously, because now that I'm saying I've

0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:55.520
<v Speaker 1>kept up with Spider Man, I haven't seen the new

0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:57.800
<v Speaker 1>ones and I didn't see the Andrew Garfield ones, So

0:07:57.920 --> 0:07:59.080
<v Speaker 1>I guess I really am just.

0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:02.080
<v Speaker 3>Really just a big from Molina as dot com.

0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:05.000
<v Speaker 1>I did like the Sam Raimi trilogy, and I don't

0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:09.160
<v Speaker 1>know why I didn't keep going with Spider Man. But

0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:11.000
<v Speaker 1>there was a while, like in middle school, I'm like,

0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:12.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm into Spider Man.

0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:15.800
<v Speaker 3>Well the amazing Spider Man's with Andrew Grefield.

0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Are they suck? Right? Yeah?

0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:21.400
<v Speaker 3>But then the new reboot that's part of the mculove. Yeah,

0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:22.600
<v Speaker 3>I really enjoyed the first one.

0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:26.040
<v Speaker 1>Okay, people, I mean I hear new Spider Man rules,

0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:28.520
<v Speaker 1>I just haven't seen it yet. But this was like,

0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:30.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is like right up, Maley. I love

0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:34.560
<v Speaker 1>I love cartoons, I love experimental cartoons. I love Phil Lord.

0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:36.640
<v Speaker 4>I have a huge crush on Phil Lord.

0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so I was. I just saw it. I really

0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:42.560
<v Speaker 1>like it and I'm excited to talk about it.

0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:45.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah the Lord is is he hot?

0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.559
<v Speaker 1>Oh? Let me get you a visual. Sorry, Smiek Moore

0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:51.080
<v Speaker 1>is also hot. But there's a lot of hot people

0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:54.520
<v Speaker 1>involved in this movie. Actually it's uh, it's actually a

0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:58.920
<v Speaker 1>little bit of setting. Okay, why can't Okay, not to

0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:02.320
<v Speaker 1>dump on Christopher Miller, but that's not who I'm trying

0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:03.240
<v Speaker 1>to look at.

0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:04.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't know what they look like.

0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:09.880
<v Speaker 1>He's hot. He's a bit like he's hot, like they're

0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:13.880
<v Speaker 1>there were getting a lot of subpar comic con pictures.

0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:14.760
<v Speaker 1>He's hot.

0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:17.240
<v Speaker 3>Okay, the thing is, yeah, he's hot.

0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:17.880
<v Speaker 1>He's hot.

0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:20.440
<v Speaker 3>Okay, you know, good for him.

0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:22.680
<v Speaker 4>But let's talk about the movie.

0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:25.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, love it, Love it so much. There's so much

0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:30.079
<v Speaker 3>to love about it. The animation style is so it's incredible. Yeah,

0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:34.840
<v Speaker 3>the I mean, the story, the characters, the soundtrack is awesome.

0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:35.800
<v Speaker 1>It's funny.

0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:39.160
<v Speaker 3>It's funny. The movie does a really good job of

0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:42.400
<v Speaker 3>balancing like heavy emotional beats with like humor.

0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:46.640
<v Speaker 1>There was one twist I legitimately did not see coming.

0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:47.880
<v Speaker 3>Was it the uncle?

0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I didn't see that coming.

0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:51.080
<v Speaker 3>I didn't either.

0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:54.600
<v Speaker 1>This is like, these movies are hard to at this

0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:57.880
<v Speaker 1>point because there's five hundred million superhero movies.

0:09:58.240 --> 0:09:59.040
<v Speaker 4>It's hard to.

0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Not see something coming like that was. I was very

0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:05.920
<v Speaker 1>pleasantly surprised, and then like really sad I knew like

0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:08.959
<v Speaker 1>once he comes out, You're like, oh no, he's gonna

0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:10.760
<v Speaker 1>die cool.

0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:11.760
<v Speaker 4>And then I cried.

0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:14.480
<v Speaker 3>I cried like during three different parts of this movie.

0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:17.520
<v Speaker 3>When I first saw by myself on Thursday night of

0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:22.840
<v Speaker 3>opening weekend, and then oh the other the doc Ock reveal.

0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:24.040
<v Speaker 3>I didn't see coming the.

0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:26.440
<v Speaker 1>Doc Ock reveal. I think I did, but only because

0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:30.760
<v Speaker 1>you told me about it. I knew that doc docs

0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:40.360
<v Speaker 1>so womn. I knew that doc Cock was a woman. Yeah,

0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:42.360
<v Speaker 1>and then it was like, well, this is the only

0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:45.880
<v Speaker 1>woman in Stem we've seen so far. So yeah, oh

0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:48.160
<v Speaker 1>I like the reveal that Aunt May is a woman

0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:51.920
<v Speaker 1>in Stem in this one. You're just like, yeah, sure, right,

0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:54.480
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of this movie where that in a

0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:56.920
<v Speaker 1>very pleasant way. I was like, yeah, of course, sure,

0:10:57.040 --> 0:11:01.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm Cage is in it, Sure, I'm I'm with this whatever.

0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:06.560
<v Speaker 1>It's so fun and yeah, and you never see a

0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:12.560
<v Speaker 1>movie this diverse in the normal MCU or really in

0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:16.640
<v Speaker 1>any movie at all. Right, So I'm like really glad

0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:20.440
<v Speaker 1>that this was this movie rated PG, yeah, PG. Yeah.

0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:24.480
<v Speaker 1>So I mean it's like that's the perfect like audience

0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:28.160
<v Speaker 1>for this movie and like the audience that both wants

0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:31.520
<v Speaker 1>to and needs to see like a cast this diverse

0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:35.120
<v Speaker 1>and funny and cool. So I'm I'm super psyched that

0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:36.559
<v Speaker 1>like a ton of people got to see it and

0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:39.520
<v Speaker 1>it was really successful. It like won all the awards,

0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:44.920
<v Speaker 1>it was financially successful, and Amy Pascal produced it. Love

0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:47.920
<v Speaker 1>her emails every time we bring it up. Every time

0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Pascal's in the ring, we got to bring up hashtag

0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:55.560
<v Speaker 1>her email. Sure if you haven't read Amy Pascal's emails, boy,

0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:59.080
<v Speaker 1>oh boy, she is not a fan of Angelina Jolie.

0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:02.040
<v Speaker 3>Oh I haven't. I guess I haven't read them.

0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:04.679
<v Speaker 1>Oh she was like the Sony email hack that was.

0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:07.040
<v Speaker 3>I remember that, but I don't know the content of them.

0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:07.840
<v Speaker 3>I guess she.

0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:15.040
<v Speaker 1>Really said some funny, mean things about Angelina Jolie. Anyways,

0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:16.120
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about the movie.

0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:20.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, okay, So the recap is we are introduced to

0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:24.240
<v Speaker 3>Spider Man. He's given a voice over. He's like, look

0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:26.320
<v Speaker 3>at me, here's my comic book. I'm the only Spider

0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:28.520
<v Speaker 3>Man around and I'm cool and I love being Spider

0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:29.120
<v Speaker 3>Man on his.

0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:32.319
<v Speaker 1>Son And that's okay. First of all, you knew you

0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:36.160
<v Speaker 1>saw I was triggered by blonde spider Man or any

0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:40.000
<v Speaker 1>blonde adult male. Sure, and he's the first spider Man

0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:41.520
<v Speaker 1>is voiced by one of the Chris.

0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:42.360
<v Speaker 3>Is Chris Pine?

0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:43.240
<v Speaker 4>What is he?

0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:44.160
<v Speaker 1>And the other ones?

0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:47.240
<v Speaker 3>He's He's Marvel.

0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:50.280
<v Speaker 1>He's the only one. He's the only Chris. He's in DC,

0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:51.559
<v Speaker 1>He's in one of them.

0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:53.719
<v Speaker 3>Don't do that.

0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:58.240
<v Speaker 1>He just Bayton switched to me. I knew every actor

0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:01.520
<v Speaker 1>named Chris was in one of the universe versus the Law,

0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:04.959
<v Speaker 1>It's like, how can he be breaking the law? Okay?

0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:10.559
<v Speaker 1>Chris Pine is Steve in Wonder Woman. Yes, got it? Okay,

0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:11.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm good to contain you.

0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:15.640
<v Speaker 3>I don't know why you're yelling at me on my birthday. Okay.

0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:24.400
<v Speaker 1>Also, post Malone has a large he's a huge plot.

0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:27.040
<v Speaker 1>This is the movie that made you a post Malone fan.

0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:28.800
<v Speaker 3>That's true, It's true.

0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:30.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:32.880
<v Speaker 3>We meet this blonde spider Man and then we meet

0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:38.000
<v Speaker 3>Miles Morales. He is going to middle school, private school

0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:38.480
<v Speaker 3>in Brooklyn.

0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:42.040
<v Speaker 1>He likes art, he likes post Malone, loves post Malone.

0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:45.200
<v Speaker 3>He doesn't know the words to the song. He chats

0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:49.559
<v Speaker 3>with this girl in his science class whose name is

0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:54.280
<v Speaker 3>she calls it herself Gwanda. I don't quite know why

0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:56.120
<v Speaker 3>that happens. I don't know why she doesn't just say

0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:59.920
<v Speaker 3>my name is Gwen, because he wouldn't know who Spider

0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:00.640
<v Speaker 3>Gwen is.

0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Well, but there are Spider Man comics in his universe,

0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:08.360
<v Speaker 1>so maybe the character Gwen Stacy exists does maybe, But

0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:11.560
<v Speaker 1>also it's like if you if I meet someone named Gwen,

0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:16.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm not like, you're a fictional character like that. Maybe

0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:19.240
<v Speaker 1>she seems like maybe she's not giving him enough credits.

0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.880
<v Speaker 3>Right, I guess that all those comics do because we

0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:26.040
<v Speaker 3>see imagery of the He reads them and he has.

0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:28.360
<v Speaker 1>Them, so I'm assuming that he like would know who

0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Gwen Stacey was, But why would he think that anyone

0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:35.880
<v Speaker 1>named Gwen was just automatically? So I think she's really

0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:37.720
<v Speaker 1>underestimating his intelligence.

0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:42.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, I guess that clears that up. Okay, So

0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:47.360
<v Speaker 3>he talks to her. He goes to his uncle's apartment.

0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:52.920
<v Speaker 3>They go into like an abandoned subway line.

0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:55.320
<v Speaker 1>Right, And he's got a cool uncle. And you can

0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:58.000
<v Speaker 1>tell he's cool because he he's not in a committed

0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:02.600
<v Speaker 1>relationship and he has a punch bag and his studio apartments.

0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:08.560
<v Speaker 1>I love how cool aunts and uncles are like just

0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:14.960
<v Speaker 1>visually established in movies. It is always if any of

0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:17.520
<v Speaker 1>our listeners have any good examples of like cool aunts

0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:21.080
<v Speaker 1>and uncles and their sweet apartments, it's it's basically always

0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:24.000
<v Speaker 1>their apartment. Right, We're just like, oh, this person answers

0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:29.560
<v Speaker 1>to no one. They've got framed posters like cool on uncle.

0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:34.920
<v Speaker 3>Shit, Yeah right, okay, so cool uncle, cool bachelor uncle.

0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:38.920
<v Speaker 3>They go into this abandoned Someway line area and paint

0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:43.000
<v Speaker 3>some graffiti, and this is where Miles gets bitten by

0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:44.960
<v Speaker 3>this crazy looking spider.

0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, cute spider. It's very cute spider forty two right,

0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Like it's a label. I'm sure that's a reference to something,

0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:54.280
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know. I have no idea what it is.

0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:56.720
<v Speaker 3>So he gets bitten by this spider, and then the

0:15:56.800 --> 0:15:58.600
<v Speaker 3>next day he wakes up, he feels kind of weird.

0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:00.880
<v Speaker 3>He's like, did I go through puberty? My pants don't

0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:02.320
<v Speaker 3>fit a lot?

0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:06.160
<v Speaker 1>And you've seen it in five different movies. He's Spider Man,

0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:06.920
<v Speaker 1>but he's confused.

0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:07.680
<v Speaker 3>He doesn't know it yet.

0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:10.520
<v Speaker 1>The webs are come. But you can't say that ever

0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:15.200
<v Speaker 1>in the movies except in the James Cameron's Oh God,

0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:19.800
<v Speaker 1>the iconic James Cameron script when he explicitly says it's

0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:21.880
<v Speaker 1>come yeah, if.

0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:27.320
<v Speaker 3>Only, and then he bumps into Gwanda or Wanda whatever.

0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:30.400
<v Speaker 3>He thinks her name is from Class Why by Hailey Steinfeldt,

0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:34.600
<v Speaker 3>and he gets his hand stuck in her hair and

0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:38.080
<v Speaker 3>he's like, what the what am I Spider Man or what?

0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:41.360
<v Speaker 3>And then he goes to investigate what's going on, goes

0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:44.200
<v Speaker 3>back to the old subway, sees the Spider and he's like,

0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:47.400
<v Speaker 3>wait a minute, this is not normal. And then while

0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:51.920
<v Speaker 3>he's there, he discovers actual Spider Man. He's fighting the

0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:52.880
<v Speaker 3>Green Goblin.

0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:58.720
<v Speaker 1>The Green Goblin is not William H. Macy in correct world.

0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:03.479
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's a literal gobliny giant goble.

0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:05.640
<v Speaker 1>Kind of just like a robody kind of guy, right,

0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:07.159
<v Speaker 1>Like he looks like a robot.

0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:10.760
<v Speaker 3>Well he's not the robot. He's like just this like

0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:16.320
<v Speaker 3>giant reptilian monster with like a tongue that he's more.

0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:21.080
<v Speaker 1>Like abstract, I mean, he's like more like an actual monster, yeah,

0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:23.919
<v Speaker 1>than like a man, right, just dressed up like a monster.

0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:29.399
<v Speaker 3>Yes, and then Miles and Spiderman cross paths and Spider

0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:32.120
<v Speaker 3>Man's spider sense goes off. He's like, wait a minute,

0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:34.639
<v Speaker 3>you're like me, I can show you the ropes on

0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:36.800
<v Speaker 3>how to be Spider Man. Let me just go destroy

0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:40.760
<v Speaker 3>this big collider machine first and defeat this bad guy

0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:44.359
<v Speaker 3>named Fisk. Hell yeah, but then before all that can happen,

0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:49.000
<v Speaker 3>Fisk powers up the super collider that opens up all

0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:53.359
<v Speaker 3>these Yeah, no explanation needed.

0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:56.520
<v Speaker 1>But oh it's Willem Dafoe. What the fuck am I talking? Sorry?

0:17:56.560 --> 0:17:57.280
<v Speaker 3>What did you say, William?

0:17:57.920 --> 0:17:58.000
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

0:17:58.040 --> 0:17:58.920
<v Speaker 3>I didn't even catch that.

0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:02.280
<v Speaker 1>I can use Willem Dafoe, William age Macy and Steve

0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:03.400
<v Speaker 1>BUSHEMI constant.

0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:08.280
<v Speaker 3>I mean they all are like character actors who like.

0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:09.800
<v Speaker 1>They audition for the same parts a lot.

0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:13.159
<v Speaker 3>Probably William H. Macy though, is like he's got like

0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:17.359
<v Speaker 3>a kind face. And then Willem Dafoe, it always usually

0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:19.600
<v Speaker 3>plays a villain because he's got like a a more

0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:20.480
<v Speaker 3>sinister look.

0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:24.400
<v Speaker 1>About willmhe Macy in trouble because of that whole college admission.

0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:27.760
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, I mean his wife, his wife. I don't

0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:30.119
<v Speaker 3>know how complicit he is in it.

0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:32.359
<v Speaker 1>Well, I guess it depends on Actually it's kind of

0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:34.119
<v Speaker 1>a loose less because if he's not involved.

0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:36.520
<v Speaker 4>That just means he's not very involved in this children's lives.

0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:40.200
<v Speaker 1>So he's a bad father. Maybe he won't go to jail.

0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:46.919
<v Speaker 3>Sucks how the world works, oh wild. Anyways, so Fisk

0:18:47.960 --> 0:18:50.960
<v Speaker 3>powers up the collider, which opens up all these different

0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:56.240
<v Speaker 3>alternate dimensions, and then Fisk kills Spider Man. No, and

0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:59.720
<v Speaker 3>then the bad guys spot Miles, who was like lurking nearby,

0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:01.359
<v Speaker 3>and he has to make a run for it. And

0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:03.840
<v Speaker 3>then one of the bad guys, whose name is I

0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:07.959
<v Speaker 3>think Prowler, goes after Miles, but he manages to escape

0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:12.000
<v Speaker 3>and he's like, okay, fuck, Like, I have to be

0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:14.680
<v Speaker 3>Spider Man. The other Spider Man is dead, like everyone's

0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:18.720
<v Speaker 3>counting on me. I have to assume this role. But

0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:21.600
<v Speaker 3>he doesn't know how to do it. He's complicated jumping

0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:24.840
<v Speaker 3>off of buildings, he breaks the thumb drive that the

0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:27.440
<v Speaker 3>other Spider Man had given him, and he's like, I

0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:29.320
<v Speaker 3>don't know if I can do this. But just then

0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:32.399
<v Speaker 3>another Peter Parker shows up.

0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:34.159
<v Speaker 4>What I know?

0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:37.240
<v Speaker 1>This one is Jake Johnson.

0:19:37.680 --> 0:19:42.480
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yeah, and he is the amazing Spider Man ever

0:19:42.640 --> 0:19:47.040
<v Speaker 3>heard of him? He right, so he's from this alternate dimension.

0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:53.919
<v Speaker 3>He is older, his life is in shambles. He's divorced,

0:19:54.960 --> 0:19:58.240
<v Speaker 3>he's got a dad bod and we love that for him. Yeah,

0:19:58.280 --> 0:19:58.440
<v Speaker 3>we do.

0:19:59.200 --> 0:19:59.480
<v Speaker 4>Now this.

0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:04.520
<v Speaker 3>Peter Parker is reluctant to get involved, but he eventually

0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:06.840
<v Speaker 3>agrees to team up with Miles, and then they go

0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:12.000
<v Speaker 3>to alkam X, which is like the science lab that

0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:15.800
<v Speaker 3>is responsible for creating the collider.

0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:16.640
<v Speaker 1>And they need to go there.

0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:20.080
<v Speaker 3>They have to download like the schematics or something so

0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:23.720
<v Speaker 3>that they can destroy the collider. And then that's where

0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:31.080
<v Speaker 3>we meet doc oc aka doctor Olivia Octavius, not Alfred Molina,

0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:31.960
<v Speaker 3>I know.

0:20:32.119 --> 0:20:35.560
<v Speaker 1>But hell, we've gotta we gotta get him in the MCU.

0:20:37.040 --> 0:20:39.600
<v Speaker 1>There's a place for him there. Sure, it breaks my

0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:40.879
<v Speaker 1>heart that he's not canon.

0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:42.600
<v Speaker 3>I know, I'm so sorry.

0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:46.200
<v Speaker 1>I truly anyone else in the Raimi Spider Man movies

0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:49.760
<v Speaker 1>don't care, don't need you there. Yeah, but if anyone

0:20:50.240 --> 0:20:55.320
<v Speaker 1>has the gentle heart of Alfred Molinas doc ok rehearsing

0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:57.200
<v Speaker 1>for Filler on the roof, I mean, I swear to god,

0:20:57.320 --> 0:20:58.160
<v Speaker 1>did you see that video?

0:20:58.320 --> 0:20:58.480
<v Speaker 5>Yes?

0:20:59.080 --> 0:21:01.200
<v Speaker 3>Right, everyone tagged us in it is if you weren't

0:21:01.240 --> 0:21:04.359
<v Speaker 3>the person who brought that up on that episode, Oh,

0:21:04.440 --> 0:21:08.760
<v Speaker 3>I know, we're just like hello, oh god, it was

0:21:08.800 --> 0:21:09.400
<v Speaker 3>a blank check.

0:21:10.200 --> 0:21:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, and you know people just like, don't listen

0:21:13.720 --> 0:21:18.760
<v Speaker 1>to me anyways.

0:21:18.840 --> 0:21:19.760
<v Speaker 4>Lets it's not.

0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:26.600
<v Speaker 3>Your birthday, it's why Okay. So they have downloaded this

0:21:26.880 --> 0:21:29.520
<v Speaker 3>stuff from alchem X and dot coc is there, and

0:21:29.640 --> 0:21:33.880
<v Speaker 3>also the person who's there is Gwen, who we learned

0:21:33.960 --> 0:21:38.439
<v Speaker 3>what her actual name is, and she's another Spider person,

0:21:39.800 --> 0:21:41.880
<v Speaker 3>yet another alternate universe.

0:21:42.160 --> 0:21:46.040
<v Speaker 1>It's so complicated, you know, And so they team up

0:21:46.119 --> 0:21:46.720
<v Speaker 1>with her.

0:21:47.840 --> 0:21:50.919
<v Speaker 3>And this is where I stopped writing down what happens.

0:21:50.960 --> 0:21:52.359
<v Speaker 3>So now I'm just going from memory.

0:21:52.520 --> 0:21:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Baby, I mean, you've seen it nine hundred times.

0:21:54.760 --> 0:21:58.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, definite help, I'll help. Okay. Great. So then

0:21:59.200 --> 0:22:03.040
<v Speaker 3>they go to Aunt May's house.

0:22:04.000 --> 0:22:05.840
<v Speaker 1>And May's Lily Tomlin.

0:22:06.119 --> 0:22:06.680
<v Speaker 3>M hmmm.

0:22:07.520 --> 0:22:09.159
<v Speaker 1>So that's great. Yeah, love that.

0:22:09.359 --> 0:22:13.160
<v Speaker 3>I love that. Her nephew, Peter Parker is the one

0:22:13.200 --> 0:22:17.000
<v Speaker 3>who had just died. So they're like, hey, this is weird.

0:22:17.160 --> 0:22:21.480
<v Speaker 3>Our condolences also were from alternate universes. Can you help

0:22:21.560 --> 0:22:24.680
<v Speaker 3>us out? So they go into like the Spider Shed

0:22:25.080 --> 0:22:28.080
<v Speaker 3>and she's like, hey, meet these other Spider people. And

0:22:28.160 --> 0:22:32.440
<v Speaker 3>this is when we meet Spider Noir, Spider Ham, and

0:22:33.119 --> 0:22:36.560
<v Speaker 3>Penny Parker, who I don't know what her If she

0:22:36.720 --> 0:22:39.680
<v Speaker 3>has like a spider name, I don't know.

0:22:40.119 --> 0:22:43.400
<v Speaker 1>I think she might just be like a let me check,

0:22:43.480 --> 0:22:45.480
<v Speaker 1>let me check, I'll research cool.

0:22:46.280 --> 0:22:49.000
<v Speaker 3>So we meet those Spider folk and they're great.

0:22:49.040 --> 0:22:52.200
<v Speaker 1>They're all animated in different styles. This movie's so cool.

0:22:53.080 --> 0:22:54.120
<v Speaker 1>It's really exciting.

0:22:54.520 --> 0:22:58.080
<v Speaker 3>And then they're all kind of figuring out, Okay, we

0:22:58.200 --> 0:23:01.960
<v Speaker 3>need to stop Fisk and his collider, but we need to.

0:23:02.000 --> 0:23:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Get the big square guy. He's played by Leave Schreiber,

0:23:06.720 --> 0:23:07.040
<v Speaker 1>got it.

0:23:07.240 --> 0:23:11.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So they're trying to figure out, Okay, someone needs

0:23:11.119 --> 0:23:14.800
<v Speaker 3>to stay behind and turn off the collider after we've

0:23:14.920 --> 0:23:20.119
<v Speaker 3>gotten everyone to their respective alternate universe, and Miles is like, well,

0:23:20.200 --> 0:23:22.520
<v Speaker 3>I should be the one to do it, because this

0:23:22.840 --> 0:23:25.399
<v Speaker 3>is my dimension. I'm already here. I'll be the one

0:23:25.440 --> 0:23:27.320
<v Speaker 3>to stay behind. But he's not good at being Spider

0:23:27.400 --> 0:23:29.720
<v Speaker 3>Man yet, so they're like, we don't really trust you

0:23:29.880 --> 0:23:30.919
<v Speaker 3>to do this, right.

0:23:31.560 --> 0:23:37.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh, she played Penny Parker slash sp Dash dash dr.

0:23:37.640 --> 0:23:39.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh is that the name of her robot?

0:23:40.160 --> 0:23:43.080
<v Speaker 1>I guess, like the robot that's an extension of her. Yeah, okay,

0:23:43.320 --> 0:23:44.680
<v Speaker 1>spdr got it.

0:23:45.320 --> 0:23:49.159
<v Speaker 3>So Miles is like, fuck, I'm not a good Spider

0:23:49.280 --> 0:23:52.680
<v Speaker 3>Man yet and he leaves and broods a little bit.

0:23:53.040 --> 0:23:55.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's a teen. That's the best part about

0:23:55.359 --> 0:23:56.760
<v Speaker 1>Spider Man is he's moody.

0:23:57.040 --> 0:24:01.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. And then and I think it's around this time

0:24:01.960 --> 0:24:08.600
<v Speaker 3>that he discovers that his uncle is actually the Prowler of.

0:24:08.640 --> 0:24:11.520
<v Speaker 1>The Yeah, I was not aware of the character the

0:24:11.600 --> 0:24:13.240
<v Speaker 1>Prowler before this me either.

0:24:13.280 --> 0:24:15.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't think he's introduced in any of the other

0:24:15.160 --> 0:24:16.480
<v Speaker 3>Spider Man movies.

0:24:16.800 --> 0:24:19.680
<v Speaker 4>Thank you, Spider Verse. Didn't know who Prowler was, and

0:24:19.840 --> 0:24:20.680
<v Speaker 4>you know, I guess.

0:24:20.480 --> 0:24:24.399
<v Speaker 3>I mean now, yeah, oh yeah. Before that, there's a

0:24:24.400 --> 0:24:28.360
<v Speaker 3>big fight in Aunt May's house where the bad guys

0:24:28.400 --> 0:24:30.800
<v Speaker 3>are trying to get the thumb Drive back.

0:24:30.960 --> 0:24:33.920
<v Speaker 1>Aunt May is also not the helpless aunt that she

0:24:34.240 --> 0:24:38.960
<v Speaker 1>is an earlier incarnations with Spider Man. She is keeping

0:24:39.080 --> 0:24:42.320
<v Speaker 1>the Spike because in the world that Aunt May is

0:24:42.560 --> 0:24:45.359
<v Speaker 1>and in Miles's world, Peter Parker is dead and she's

0:24:45.480 --> 0:24:49.720
<v Speaker 1>mourning him. But she also has this Spider Bunker where

0:24:49.760 --> 0:24:53.720
<v Speaker 1>she does fucking science shit and it's great.

0:24:53.840 --> 0:24:57.080
<v Speaker 3>It's great. Yes, I loved that. So yeah, they the

0:24:57.119 --> 0:25:01.400
<v Speaker 3>bad guys come, they fail in getting the thumb drive back,

0:25:01.640 --> 0:25:04.960
<v Speaker 3>and then Prowler dies because.

0:25:05.680 --> 0:25:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Really sad sad.

0:25:09.640 --> 0:25:09.879
<v Speaker 5>I know.

0:25:10.359 --> 0:25:13.040
<v Speaker 1>It reminded me of the Lion King oh with the

0:25:13.080 --> 0:25:19.080
<v Speaker 1>mufassa yeah, or the kids just like I'm sorry, emotional

0:25:19.280 --> 0:25:23.760
<v Speaker 1>and then the dying adult is like, it's all good,

0:25:24.720 --> 0:25:27.159
<v Speaker 1>You're awesome and then dies.

0:25:29.119 --> 0:25:32.720
<v Speaker 3>And then Miles Morales goes and finds Timon and Poopa right.

0:25:32.680 --> 0:25:34.840
<v Speaker 1>And then he grows. He comes of h with that

0:25:35.200 --> 0:25:38.200
<v Speaker 1>crazy that Nathan Lane. Nathan Lane. As much as I

0:25:38.280 --> 0:25:41.720
<v Speaker 1>love John mulaney, John Laney is basically doing an impression

0:25:41.720 --> 0:25:45.159
<v Speaker 1>of Nathan Lane for this character. Yeah, I think I

0:25:45.200 --> 0:25:47.240
<v Speaker 1>think he sounds super nice. I mean he kind of

0:25:47.320 --> 0:25:50.520
<v Speaker 1>naturally kind of sounds like Nathan Lane too. Sure, I

0:25:50.560 --> 0:25:52.840
<v Speaker 1>think for this character especially, I'm like, oh, he's good.

0:25:52.880 --> 0:25:56.639
<v Speaker 1>There's some some serious Tomon vibes ironically coming out of

0:25:56.680 --> 0:25:59.919
<v Speaker 1>this pig character commentary.

0:26:01.720 --> 0:26:04.120
<v Speaker 3>Because wait, timoone is the mirrorca Meerkat.

0:26:04.280 --> 0:26:12.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, wow, John and mullaney or he's a I'm gonna

0:26:12.840 --> 0:26:15.359
<v Speaker 1>read a five thousand word piece on Medium about like

0:26:15.760 --> 0:26:19.720
<v Speaker 1>the brilliant subtlety of John Mulaney's performance. That's Spider him.

0:26:19.880 --> 0:26:22.800
<v Speaker 3>The world needs it. Okay, So then story what happens

0:26:22.840 --> 0:26:25.040
<v Speaker 3>in the story after this? So the uncle has died,

0:26:25.640 --> 0:26:28.000
<v Speaker 3>and then Myles is sad about it. There's like this

0:26:28.720 --> 0:26:32.960
<v Speaker 3>emotionally heavy moment between him and his dad. Ohever there's

0:26:32.960 --> 0:26:36.040
<v Speaker 3>a wall between them. And then the Spider people come

0:26:36.119 --> 0:26:38.560
<v Speaker 3>back and they're like, hey, okay, we're gonna go do

0:26:38.760 --> 0:26:41.359
<v Speaker 3>this thing because again you're not a good Spider Man

0:26:41.960 --> 0:26:42.440
<v Speaker 3>and now.

0:26:42.400 --> 0:26:45.879
<v Speaker 1>You're like an emotional wreck right too. And there's that

0:26:46.000 --> 0:26:48.600
<v Speaker 1>great scene where he's like, you don't get it, and

0:26:48.680 --> 0:26:52.520
<v Speaker 1>they're like they all list the critical person in their

0:26:52.560 --> 0:26:55.640
<v Speaker 1>life they've lost, because that's the story, right, And then

0:26:55.680 --> 0:26:59.280
<v Speaker 1>he's like, oh, kiss you get it? There stand and

0:26:59.359 --> 0:27:02.040
<v Speaker 1>then they travelm in webs and then.

0:27:02.440 --> 0:27:05.960
<v Speaker 3>The monologue that his dad gives sort of empowers him

0:27:06.520 --> 0:27:09.439
<v Speaker 3>to be the great man he's destined to become.

0:27:09.840 --> 0:27:14.840
<v Speaker 1>The power of the love between father and son frees

0:27:14.960 --> 0:27:19.680
<v Speaker 1>him from the com webs and he goes and he

0:27:20.000 --> 0:27:20.920
<v Speaker 1>saves the day.

0:27:21.359 --> 0:27:23.080
<v Speaker 3>Yep. So he goes back to Aunt May and he's like,

0:27:23.119 --> 0:27:25.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm ready to be Spider Man. She's like, great, here's

0:27:25.200 --> 0:27:26.440
<v Speaker 3>a suit, here's some tools.

0:27:26.800 --> 0:27:31.320
<v Speaker 1>He's still a scientist. She basically is like the what's

0:27:31.400 --> 0:27:35.840
<v Speaker 1>that lady who's Edna in The Incredibles, except not annoying

0:27:35.840 --> 0:27:38.680
<v Speaker 1>because she's just like, oh right, she's because Edna is

0:27:38.760 --> 0:27:40.520
<v Speaker 1>a woman in stem but they try to make her

0:27:40.600 --> 0:27:43.160
<v Speaker 1>just seem like she's a costume designer. That's right.

0:27:43.359 --> 0:27:45.280
<v Speaker 3>And she's also a voice by Brad Bird.

0:27:45.600 --> 0:27:49.880
<v Speaker 1>So that wild. What a time to be alive? Can

0:27:49.920 --> 0:27:52.400
<v Speaker 1>I can I do a little industry inside her talk?

0:27:52.560 --> 0:27:52.960
<v Speaker 3>Please?

0:27:53.400 --> 0:27:55.160
<v Speaker 1>Okay? So I was at the ANNIE.

0:27:54.880 --> 0:27:58.560
<v Speaker 4>Awards this year where spider where Spider Verse one fucking.

0:27:58.320 --> 0:27:59.919
<v Speaker 3>Every Aniwards are animated.

0:28:00.520 --> 0:28:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's like the animated Oscars. It's very boring, but

0:28:03.720 --> 0:28:07.600
<v Speaker 1>I was excited and uh so Spider Verse like completely

0:28:07.680 --> 0:28:10.960
<v Speaker 1>swept and like won every feature category. And Brad Bird

0:28:11.119 --> 0:28:14.480
<v Speaker 1>was there because I think he assumed that Incredibles two

0:28:14.640 --> 0:28:19.880
<v Speaker 1>is gonna sweep. Oh sure, and he looked really pissed,

0:28:20.760 --> 0:28:23.080
<v Speaker 1>where I'm like, it's just the Annie's Like, it's not

0:28:23.200 --> 0:28:25.040
<v Speaker 1>a big deal. But he lost and he.

0:28:25.080 --> 0:28:27.280
<v Speaker 3>Worked hard for it. But I lost.

0:28:27.480 --> 0:28:28.880
<v Speaker 1>But why we should have talked?

0:28:29.000 --> 0:28:29.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, what were you there for?

0:28:30.200 --> 0:28:32.680
<v Speaker 1>I was nominated for a show I worked on.

0:28:32.960 --> 0:28:36.240
<v Speaker 3>Hey what shows it to people? Everyone?

0:28:36.680 --> 0:28:40.120
<v Speaker 1>Uh log onto Facebook dot com and launch a show

0:28:40.240 --> 0:28:43.240
<v Speaker 1>called human kind of It was. It was a great

0:28:43.360 --> 0:28:46.240
<v Speaker 1>series and it almost wanted Annie and then it was

0:28:46.360 --> 0:28:48.920
<v Speaker 1>canceled because life is unfair. But I think, you know,

0:28:49.040 --> 0:28:50.960
<v Speaker 1>I can relate with Brad Bird and a lot of

0:28:52.200 --> 0:28:53.640
<v Speaker 1>we're basically the same person.

0:28:53.920 --> 0:28:55.520
<v Speaker 3>Didn't you also see Alfred Molina there.

0:28:55.720 --> 0:28:57.400
<v Speaker 1>I did see Alfurd Leina there and I was too

0:28:57.480 --> 0:28:59.600
<v Speaker 1>great to talk to him. That is really exciting this.

0:29:00.160 --> 0:29:00.920
<v Speaker 3>You had met him?

0:29:01.440 --> 0:29:04.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, after he was on our podcast, literally two weeks later.

0:29:05.480 --> 0:29:09.840
<v Speaker 1>I was too scared and he I got another message

0:29:09.840 --> 0:29:12.480
<v Speaker 1>from him, not like a direct message. No, he went

0:29:12.560 --> 0:29:15.240
<v Speaker 1>in to record the robot chicken sketch that I wrote

0:29:15.320 --> 0:29:17.560
<v Speaker 1>for him last week, and they were like, guess who

0:29:17.600 --> 0:29:21.000
<v Speaker 1>wrote this? And he was like, oh my gosh, she's

0:29:21.200 --> 0:29:22.320
<v Speaker 1>all over the place.

0:29:23.200 --> 0:29:28.360
<v Speaker 3>She starting to She's really closing in, isn't she?

0:29:31.960 --> 0:29:32.480
<v Speaker 1>Anyways?

0:29:33.080 --> 0:29:35.240
<v Speaker 3>All right, so what happens in the movie though I

0:29:35.360 --> 0:29:35.880
<v Speaker 3>don't know?

0:29:36.120 --> 0:29:39.200
<v Speaker 4>Okay, So so he escapes because the power of love.

0:29:39.280 --> 0:29:42.080
<v Speaker 3>He goes to aunt Ray, he gets his web shooters

0:29:42.680 --> 0:29:45.200
<v Speaker 3>and then he's ready to go and be a part

0:29:45.280 --> 0:29:47.760
<v Speaker 3>of the fight. He meets up with them in like

0:29:47.960 --> 0:29:53.280
<v Speaker 3>the it's basically Trump Tower Vortex. Yes, so there's like

0:29:53.360 --> 0:29:57.520
<v Speaker 3>this benefit going on. Fisk is Trump. He's got the

0:29:57.680 --> 0:30:01.000
<v Speaker 3>tower to prove it. And everything, and below that is

0:30:01.040 --> 0:30:05.160
<v Speaker 3>where the collider is colliding. And then you know, the

0:30:05.560 --> 0:30:11.120
<v Speaker 3>Spider gang is fighting doc Oc and the other bad guys,

0:30:11.600 --> 0:30:14.800
<v Speaker 3>and then Miles shows up and he's like I'm ready,

0:30:14.840 --> 0:30:16.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm here, let me help, and they're like, oh my god,

0:30:16.960 --> 0:30:20.400
<v Speaker 3>you're doing such a good job. And then the Spider

0:30:20.480 --> 0:30:24.840
<v Speaker 3>people return to their respective dimensions, and so it's up

0:30:24.880 --> 0:30:31.280
<v Speaker 3>to Miles and shut off the collider, and he does

0:30:31.480 --> 0:30:34.800
<v Speaker 3>do it, and then and then his dad is there,

0:30:35.200 --> 0:30:39.880
<v Speaker 3>who had, you know, feelings of animosity toward the idea

0:30:39.920 --> 0:30:42.680
<v Speaker 3>of Spider Man, but he's like, wait a minute, Spider

0:30:42.720 --> 0:30:44.840
<v Speaker 3>Man is actually a good guy who wants to do

0:30:45.040 --> 0:30:47.080
<v Speaker 3>good things right, And.

0:30:47.160 --> 0:30:51.280
<v Speaker 1>Then they're the one thing that was just like where

0:30:51.440 --> 0:30:55.640
<v Speaker 1>when Miles finally calls his dad and they very quickly

0:30:55.840 --> 0:31:00.360
<v Speaker 1>brush over his uncle's death, right, The dad is like, hey,

0:31:00.600 --> 0:31:02.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you know this, but something with

0:31:02.840 --> 0:31:05.280
<v Speaker 1>your uncle, and then Miles is like, I know, and

0:31:05.360 --> 0:31:10.800
<v Speaker 1>he was like, okay, why are you coming home? Like

0:31:10.920 --> 0:31:13.160
<v Speaker 1>maybe that is how men process dead. I don't know,

0:31:14.760 --> 0:31:16.120
<v Speaker 1>it seemed pretty chill to me.

0:31:16.800 --> 0:31:21.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was, it was. And then Miles fully embraces

0:31:22.520 --> 0:31:27.920
<v Speaker 3>his new identity as Spider man and that is the

0:31:28.080 --> 0:31:28.720
<v Speaker 3>end of the movie.

0:31:29.760 --> 0:31:31.440
<v Speaker 1>So it's such a good movie.

0:31:31.720 --> 0:31:33.520
<v Speaker 3>I love it so much.

0:31:33.840 --> 0:31:35.280
<v Speaker 1>I really really enjoyed it.

0:31:36.080 --> 0:31:38.680
<v Speaker 3>Let's take a quick break and we will come back

0:31:38.800 --> 0:31:49.400
<v Speaker 3>for the discussion. And we're back where to begin with

0:31:50.200 --> 0:31:51.080
<v Speaker 3>the discussion.

0:31:51.280 --> 0:31:53.360
<v Speaker 1>I think it's interesting. I mean, if we're just starting

0:31:53.480 --> 0:31:56.360
<v Speaker 1>off from I mean, we've already established it's like it's

0:31:56.480 --> 0:32:01.280
<v Speaker 1>the most diverse inclusive superhero movie I've ever seen.

0:32:01.600 --> 0:32:03.520
<v Speaker 3>I mean, probably aside from Black Panther.

0:32:03.720 --> 0:32:06.040
<v Speaker 1>But beside from Black Panther, I mean, but in terms

0:32:06.080 --> 0:32:08.760
<v Speaker 1>of seeing like and this is like a no accortisms

0:32:08.920 --> 0:32:11.480
<v Speaker 1>of Black Panther, but you're seeing all types of people

0:32:12.120 --> 0:32:14.400
<v Speaker 1>in Spider Verse where I feel like it's the only

0:32:14.720 --> 0:32:16.280
<v Speaker 1>like the thing that hit for me is like, this

0:32:16.480 --> 0:32:21.480
<v Speaker 1>is the only semi realistic portrayal of like the makeup

0:32:21.560 --> 0:32:24.920
<v Speaker 1>of New York City, oh, that I've ever seen in

0:32:25.040 --> 0:32:28.560
<v Speaker 1>a movie, and it's a cartoon like the all white

0:32:28.600 --> 0:32:30.880
<v Speaker 1>portrayals of New York City that we've come across in

0:32:31.160 --> 0:32:34.880
<v Speaker 1>every rom com we've ever covered, and other movies, like

0:32:34.920 --> 0:32:37.880
<v Speaker 1>in action movies too, but just the all white New

0:32:37.960 --> 0:32:42.200
<v Speaker 1>York that never existed that is so persistent in movies

0:32:42.480 --> 0:32:47.600
<v Speaker 1>because of systemic racism. But it was really cool to

0:32:47.640 --> 0:32:52.400
<v Speaker 1>see such a like a diverse cast where you have

0:32:52.600 --> 0:32:55.000
<v Speaker 1>like a lot of people of color. Do we don't?

0:32:55.040 --> 0:32:56.520
<v Speaker 1>I guess there's a pig.

0:32:58.360 --> 0:32:58.520
<v Speaker 5>Do you?

0:32:59.160 --> 0:33:03.680
<v Speaker 3>Are there any queer characters in this not identifiably so

0:33:04.280 --> 0:33:07.080
<v Speaker 3>or even I think coded that way. So it's it's

0:33:07.160 --> 0:33:10.240
<v Speaker 3>a pretty but then there's no real sexuality at all

0:33:10.400 --> 0:33:10.960
<v Speaker 3>to speak of.

0:33:11.360 --> 0:33:13.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's not. I mean, there is a little

0:33:13.840 --> 0:33:17.120
<v Speaker 1>bit of a love story, and I want to get

0:33:17.160 --> 0:33:20.840
<v Speaker 1>into that, right, but I have a few Gwen thoughts,

0:33:20.960 --> 0:33:24.240
<v Speaker 1>But in general like it. It is so cool to

0:33:24.280 --> 0:33:26.960
<v Speaker 1>see New York look actually represent or.

0:33:27.720 --> 0:33:30.840
<v Speaker 3>Miles has his mom's last name. His name is not

0:33:31.160 --> 0:33:33.640
<v Speaker 3>Miles Jefferson, it's Miles Morales.

0:33:34.080 --> 0:33:36.920
<v Speaker 1>And we know what hit like, we know what both

0:33:36.960 --> 0:33:40.240
<v Speaker 1>of his parents do. We know a lot about his

0:33:40.400 --> 0:33:43.040
<v Speaker 1>home life, and you know when even when people of

0:33:43.120 --> 0:33:46.160
<v Speaker 1>color are the main character, you don't often get to

0:33:46.160 --> 0:33:48.360
<v Speaker 1>see their home life. When I'm thinking of fucking the

0:33:48.480 --> 0:33:52.160
<v Speaker 1>craft sure where the only black woman in the cast

0:33:52.360 --> 0:33:55.440
<v Speaker 1>is the only character you find out nothing about. And

0:33:55.600 --> 0:33:58.080
<v Speaker 1>it's also cool to see like a working class family

0:33:58.520 --> 0:34:01.160
<v Speaker 1>portrayed on screen, because that doesn't you know, It's like

0:34:01.200 --> 0:34:05.080
<v Speaker 1>there's all these really famous and sometimes even good kids

0:34:05.200 --> 0:34:09.680
<v Speaker 1>movies about vaguely wealthy white kids that live in gigantic

0:34:09.800 --> 0:34:12.279
<v Speaker 1>houses and have never had a problem and then they

0:34:12.320 --> 0:34:16.960
<v Speaker 1>get magical powers. You're just like, okay, but I mean,

0:34:17.000 --> 0:34:19.439
<v Speaker 1>his mom is a nurse, his dad is a cop.

0:34:19.760 --> 0:34:24.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and dad's name is Jefferson Davis, which is the

0:34:24.120 --> 0:34:28.120
<v Speaker 3>same name of the only president of the Confederate States

0:34:28.440 --> 0:34:30.880
<v Speaker 3>during the Civil War, which a lot of people have

0:34:31.000 --> 0:34:34.320
<v Speaker 3>pointed out. They're like, that's weird, but that is his

0:34:34.440 --> 0:34:35.000
<v Speaker 3>character's name.

0:34:35.280 --> 0:34:40.680
<v Speaker 1>That can't have been an accident, And I'm very confused. Yeah,

0:34:41.080 --> 0:34:43.560
<v Speaker 1>so I didn't hear his full name set out lot.

0:34:43.560 --> 0:34:45.839
<v Speaker 1>I didn't realize that he had his mom's last name.

0:34:46.520 --> 0:34:49.520
<v Speaker 1>What a strange thing. But I mean his parents are together, Yeah,

0:34:49.640 --> 0:34:52.120
<v Speaker 1>I guess we don't know if they're married. Do we

0:34:52.239 --> 0:34:52.960
<v Speaker 1>know that they're married.

0:34:53.040 --> 0:34:55.800
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if we know. Yeah, they might just

0:34:55.920 --> 0:35:00.480
<v Speaker 3>be partnered. But yeah, either way, Miles has his mom's

0:35:00.560 --> 0:35:06.560
<v Speaker 3>last name. She is LATINX And we see them speaking

0:35:06.600 --> 0:35:11.280
<v Speaker 3>Spanish together, Like it's rare that we see Spanish spoken

0:35:11.840 --> 0:35:15.719
<v Speaker 3>by a main character. Yeah, and in any movie really,

0:35:15.840 --> 0:35:19.640
<v Speaker 3>unless it's like a Spanish language film and not have

0:35:19.840 --> 0:35:20.680
<v Speaker 3>it like be.

0:35:21.440 --> 0:35:25.080
<v Speaker 4>Super called attention to like it's yeah or landscape right

0:35:25.360 --> 0:35:27.640
<v Speaker 4>or like yeah, othered in some way where it's like Oka,

0:35:27.680 --> 0:35:30.200
<v Speaker 4>the others are speaking Spanish but we hear in America

0:35:30.400 --> 0:35:32.600
<v Speaker 4>speak English kind of thing, so like yeah, it was

0:35:32.640 --> 0:35:34.880
<v Speaker 4>like very normalized and very cool, which.

0:35:34.719 --> 0:35:37.040
<v Speaker 3>Again is New York exactly.

0:35:37.440 --> 0:35:40.520
<v Speaker 1>Like there's so like there are so many which which

0:35:40.560 --> 0:35:43.040
<v Speaker 1>is why it's like, you know, Miles Morales, the character

0:35:43.280 --> 0:35:45.759
<v Speaker 1>is such a cool thing for visibility because there's so

0:35:45.920 --> 0:35:50.040
<v Speaker 1>many kids like him and just who you know, the

0:35:50.120 --> 0:35:53.400
<v Speaker 1>world has never taken the time to portray in a

0:35:53.480 --> 0:35:58.880
<v Speaker 1>way that isn't patronizing or half baked or shitty. So

0:35:59.040 --> 0:36:02.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I love this families set up. I mean

0:36:02.320 --> 0:36:04.960
<v Speaker 1>there's always gonna be a weird feeling. I feel like

0:36:05.040 --> 0:36:06.360
<v Speaker 1>at this cultural.

0:36:05.960 --> 0:36:09.560
<v Speaker 4>Moment of being like, I guess we like cops in

0:36:09.719 --> 0:36:14.040
<v Speaker 4>this movie, but that is that is how the story goes.

0:36:14.080 --> 0:36:16.960
<v Speaker 1>I feel like that is also kind of like baked

0:36:17.200 --> 0:36:22.520
<v Speaker 1>into superhero lore as well in a way that's kind

0:36:22.560 --> 0:36:25.040
<v Speaker 1>of hard to escape or hasn't really been addressed. And

0:36:25.120 --> 0:36:27.520
<v Speaker 1>this is coming from someone who doesn't know the deep

0:36:27.680 --> 0:36:30.520
<v Speaker 1>history of superheroes. But like superheroes, I feel like.

0:36:30.520 --> 0:36:34.640
<v Speaker 4>Are generally portrayed to be like allies to cops.

0:36:35.600 --> 0:36:40.040
<v Speaker 3>I think so some superhero movies just sort of ignore

0:36:40.360 --> 0:36:42.239
<v Speaker 3>the like law enforcement exists at all.

0:36:42.320 --> 0:36:46.560
<v Speaker 1>The other one that it seems stupid, and then superheros

0:36:46.600 --> 0:36:47.040
<v Speaker 1>are smart.

0:36:47.160 --> 0:36:53.520
<v Speaker 3>The other main series that integrates police to a large

0:36:53.560 --> 0:36:57.360
<v Speaker 3>extent that I'm familiar with is Batman, and the cops

0:36:57.480 --> 0:37:00.719
<v Speaker 3>in that one are always like he's a Gilante and

0:37:00.880 --> 0:37:04.160
<v Speaker 3>I don't like it, and then there's always like Commissioner Gordon,

0:37:04.200 --> 0:37:06.560
<v Speaker 3>who's like his one ally, and then all the other ones.

0:37:06.880 --> 0:37:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there's a lot of like good cops in across

0:37:12.680 --> 0:37:16.719
<v Speaker 1>superhero narratives, but it does sort of go the same

0:37:16.760 --> 0:37:19.600
<v Speaker 1>way where the end scene, even though there's like another

0:37:19.680 --> 0:37:21.920
<v Speaker 1>level to it because it's literally a father and son talking,

0:37:22.320 --> 0:37:25.279
<v Speaker 1>but it is like Spider Man is an ally of

0:37:26.000 --> 0:37:32.040
<v Speaker 1>the NYPD. Okay, but that I mean he's kind of

0:37:32.200 --> 0:37:34.680
<v Speaker 1>like that in all the iterations of Spider Man. I

0:37:34.719 --> 0:37:36.880
<v Speaker 1>feel like in the Sam Raimi ones, the cops are

0:37:36.920 --> 0:37:39.680
<v Speaker 1>made out to look kind of just like less competent

0:37:39.760 --> 0:37:41.719
<v Speaker 1>than Spider Man and like jealous of him.

0:37:42.320 --> 0:37:44.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think that's right. It's been a while since

0:37:44.600 --> 0:37:47.200
<v Speaker 3>I've seen any of those ones, but yeah, I think so.

0:37:47.640 --> 0:37:51.040
<v Speaker 1>Anyways, someone link us to what I'm sure is a

0:37:51.160 --> 0:37:55.640
<v Speaker 1>very well written essay about how the MCU superheroes relate

0:37:55.760 --> 0:37:58.399
<v Speaker 1>to the cops. But again, it's like seeing a working

0:37:58.440 --> 0:38:01.920
<v Speaker 1>class family from New York portrayed on screen in a

0:38:01.960 --> 0:38:04.880
<v Speaker 1>way that is really realistic, Like their apartment is realistic,

0:38:05.560 --> 0:38:08.399
<v Speaker 1>versus like the wide open spaces, Oh.

0:38:08.400 --> 0:38:12.759
<v Speaker 3>My god, like the millions bazillion dollars like soho lofts.

0:38:12.560 --> 0:38:15.080
<v Speaker 1>That you see and like all these or like I'm

0:38:15.120 --> 0:38:18.040
<v Speaker 1>thinking of like this, like Carrie from Sex and the

0:38:18.080 --> 0:38:20.920
<v Speaker 1>City would literally be starving to death if that remained realistic,

0:38:21.040 --> 0:38:23.239
<v Speaker 1>Like she writes one column a week, right, like you

0:38:23.320 --> 0:38:25.880
<v Speaker 1>can't afford to live hunt like you can't. You're waiting

0:38:26.040 --> 0:38:30.080
<v Speaker 1>forty five days for your freelancers check to come in. Anyways,

0:38:30.680 --> 0:38:35.400
<v Speaker 1>love the setup and the visibility in terms of like

0:38:35.600 --> 0:38:36.920
<v Speaker 1>race and class.

0:38:37.120 --> 0:38:41.520
<v Speaker 3>Especially because like Miles is like he's basically a socialist,

0:38:41.640 --> 0:38:43.440
<v Speaker 3>where he's like, I don't want to go to this school.

0:38:43.480 --> 0:38:47.000
<v Speaker 3>It's elitist, Like I want to go to my public school.

0:38:47.239 --> 0:38:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Well, what it's referencing it is like the real setup

0:38:50.880 --> 0:38:54.160
<v Speaker 1>of New York public schools that is like very it's

0:38:54.480 --> 0:38:56.600
<v Speaker 1>the way public schools work in New York is weird.

0:38:56.640 --> 0:39:00.160
<v Speaker 1>Where there was like an intensely reported story of it.

0:39:00.239 --> 0:39:02.960
<v Speaker 1>They came out a couple of weeks ago that basically

0:39:03.880 --> 0:39:07.760
<v Speaker 1>there are these like magnet schools that are publicly funded

0:39:07.800 --> 0:39:12.040
<v Speaker 1>but are kind of like elitist that it looks like

0:39:12.480 --> 0:39:16.440
<v Speaker 1>the school that Miles gets transferred to is based on

0:39:17.000 --> 0:39:18.960
<v Speaker 1>and the way that you get entry into one of

0:39:19.040 --> 0:39:22.759
<v Speaker 1>those like public plus schools is by taking a test,

0:39:22.960 --> 0:39:26.440
<v Speaker 1>and the dad references like you've tested in. So people

0:39:26.520 --> 0:39:28.440
<v Speaker 1>take the test and then they're put into a lottery

0:39:28.440 --> 0:39:30.680
<v Speaker 1>because there's only so much space. But there's still a

0:39:30.719 --> 0:39:34.240
<v Speaker 1>lot of systemic racism in the way those schools are sorted,

0:39:34.400 --> 0:39:36.880
<v Speaker 1>and like all these magnet schools are supposed to be

0:39:37.000 --> 0:39:40.280
<v Speaker 1>this big public win for public education, and there's almost

0:39:40.440 --> 0:39:44.000
<v Speaker 1>no black and Latino kids who get out of the lottery,

0:39:44.280 --> 0:39:49.000
<v Speaker 1>as it were fucked. So that scene I was just like, oh, woll,

0:39:49.280 --> 0:39:52.880
<v Speaker 1>like someone did their homework on New York public schools.

0:39:52.960 --> 0:39:56.000
<v Speaker 3>Because he's walking by his old middle school, which seems

0:39:56.120 --> 0:39:58.279
<v Speaker 3>very diverse. Yeah, and then you see the scene where

0:39:58.320 --> 0:40:01.840
<v Speaker 3>he's you know, entering this magnet.

0:40:01.760 --> 0:40:06.120
<v Speaker 6>Esque school and it's fancy predominantly and it's white, and

0:40:06.600 --> 0:40:10.080
<v Speaker 6>it's yeah, like there's I believe it was a New

0:40:10.160 --> 0:40:12.239
<v Speaker 6>York Times story that came out by the time you

0:40:12.320 --> 0:40:14.200
<v Speaker 6>hear this will come out about a month ago.

0:40:14.760 --> 0:40:18.640
<v Speaker 1>But it's a fascinating look at how like these public

0:40:18.719 --> 0:40:21.239
<v Speaker 1>systems are established to be for the greater good and

0:40:21.960 --> 0:40:25.839
<v Speaker 1>yet are still so very racist and not inclusive at all.

0:40:28.360 --> 0:40:30.440
<v Speaker 3>Any other thing you want to say about that in

0:40:30.600 --> 0:40:32.600
<v Speaker 3>terms of like diversity inclusion.

0:40:32.880 --> 0:40:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, I mean I think that that is like

0:40:35.200 --> 0:40:37.920
<v Speaker 1>this move in addition to just being a good movie,

0:40:38.480 --> 0:40:42.160
<v Speaker 1>like that's this movie is like great strength and distinction

0:40:42.520 --> 0:40:47.359
<v Speaker 1>from the landscape it comes out, And I mean it's

0:40:47.480 --> 0:40:51.919
<v Speaker 1>really this movie and Black Panther that you get any

0:40:52.200 --> 0:40:57.600
<v Speaker 1>level of diversity that isn't extremely tokenized.

0:40:57.800 --> 0:41:03.080
<v Speaker 3>Definitely. Yeah, yes, huge strength for the movie. Let's talk

0:41:03.120 --> 0:41:03.960
<v Speaker 3>about the women.

0:41:04.560 --> 0:41:08.520
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about we mean it takes a while for

0:41:08.719 --> 0:41:11.520
<v Speaker 1>this movie to include women in the plot in a

0:41:11.640 --> 0:41:14.640
<v Speaker 1>meaningful way. I thought, yes, because I think for the

0:41:14.880 --> 0:41:20.000
<v Speaker 1>first half, unless I'm missing something, you meet a mom,

0:41:21.000 --> 0:41:25.400
<v Speaker 1>you meet someone that is introduced to us as a

0:41:25.480 --> 0:41:28.840
<v Speaker 1>love interest, because that's originally how Gwen Stacy's introduced in

0:41:28.920 --> 0:41:32.120
<v Speaker 1>all of these stories. Yes, and eventually, I feel like

0:41:32.160 --> 0:41:36.240
<v Speaker 1>it's not until you get to Olivia Octavius that women

0:41:36.400 --> 0:41:42.440
<v Speaker 1>become a structural part of the plot. Agree, And it

0:41:42.520 --> 0:41:44.080
<v Speaker 1>takes a while for us to get there.

0:41:44.360 --> 0:41:48.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, at least a half hour, if not more. Yeah, Yeah,

0:41:48.719 --> 0:41:52.040
<v Speaker 3>I completely agree. Up until then, it's just you know,

0:41:52.320 --> 0:41:56.120
<v Speaker 3>scenes with you know, him and aid Man dead or yeah,

0:41:56.200 --> 0:41:58.960
<v Speaker 3>him in acting with the Spider Man running away from

0:41:59.000 --> 0:41:59.760
<v Speaker 3>the bad guys.

0:42:00.440 --> 0:42:03.359
<v Speaker 1>And I do think that it's and I don't want

0:42:03.400 --> 0:42:05.640
<v Speaker 1>to be too critical of this movie because I like,

0:42:05.800 --> 0:42:08.200
<v Speaker 1>I really love it, and I'm excited to talk about

0:42:08.520 --> 0:42:13.040
<v Speaker 1>the relationships between men that I thought were really cool

0:42:13.160 --> 0:42:15.400
<v Speaker 1>in this thing. But it does it, you know, you

0:42:15.560 --> 0:42:19.320
<v Speaker 1>do kind of notice and it sort of betrays the

0:42:19.400 --> 0:42:21.879
<v Speaker 1>fact that this was written by men and directed by men,

0:42:22.239 --> 0:42:26.000
<v Speaker 1>and Amy was directed by Amy Pascal's emails of course,

0:42:26.760 --> 0:42:29.800
<v Speaker 1>she never her emails never get credit for They're sentient

0:42:30.000 --> 0:42:35.399
<v Speaker 1>and Incredibles from twenty thirteen directed so many movies. But yeah,

0:42:35.440 --> 0:42:40.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the main focus, even within the family is

0:42:41.120 --> 0:42:44.040
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of screen time devoted to Miles' relationship

0:42:44.040 --> 0:42:46.240
<v Speaker 1>with his dad. There's a lot of screen time devoted

0:42:46.280 --> 0:42:49.759
<v Speaker 1>to Miles's relationship with his uncle. There's really not that

0:42:49.960 --> 0:42:52.520
<v Speaker 1>much of Miles and his mom where we know what

0:42:52.640 --> 0:42:55.759
<v Speaker 1>she does, which is more than most movies give us,

0:42:56.000 --> 0:42:58.920
<v Speaker 1>but there's that's not where the emphasis is and the

0:42:59.040 --> 0:42:59.920
<v Speaker 1>family dynamic.

0:43:00.120 --> 0:43:02.040
<v Speaker 3>The only thing we really see is a scene where

0:43:02.200 --> 0:43:04.759
<v Speaker 3>like she's doting on him right before he's about to

0:43:04.840 --> 0:43:09.000
<v Speaker 3>leave for school. That's really about it. Yeah, there's so

0:43:09.239 --> 0:43:09.840
<v Speaker 3>much like.

0:43:09.920 --> 0:43:12.799
<v Speaker 1>Per see the long scene with Miles and his dad. Yes,

0:43:13.120 --> 0:43:17.759
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, so that like that scene in a movie

0:43:17.800 --> 0:43:18.680
<v Speaker 1>with a lot of strengths.

0:43:18.719 --> 0:43:22.680
<v Speaker 3>You're like, man, I mean I've given this a bit

0:43:22.760 --> 0:43:25.080
<v Speaker 3>of thought. And on one hand, I'm like, yeah, why

0:43:25.160 --> 0:43:29.200
<v Speaker 3>couldn't we see a more significant and like more emotional

0:43:29.360 --> 0:43:34.359
<v Speaker 3>impactful storyline between him and his mom? And it's only

0:43:34.480 --> 0:43:36.960
<v Speaker 3>really given to him and his dad and then also

0:43:37.080 --> 0:43:40.960
<v Speaker 3>him and his uncle, which you know means that less

0:43:41.239 --> 0:43:45.800
<v Speaker 3>time and attention is devoted to the mum character. But also,

0:43:45.960 --> 0:43:51.080
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you know, he's a uh I know, I

0:43:51.120 --> 0:43:53.560
<v Speaker 3>don't want to like sound like I'm defending you know,

0:43:53.680 --> 0:43:57.719
<v Speaker 3>the absence of women in a story. And I've never

0:43:57.880 --> 0:44:01.600
<v Speaker 3>been a thirteen year old old boy, so I don't

0:44:01.640 --> 0:44:05.400
<v Speaker 3>really know but I think it kind of stands to

0:44:05.520 --> 0:44:09.719
<v Speaker 3>reason that like a boy of that age is going

0:44:09.880 --> 0:44:15.320
<v Speaker 3>to look up to the male figures in his life

0:44:15.800 --> 0:44:18.560
<v Speaker 3>and you know, try to learn from them, you know,

0:44:18.719 --> 0:44:21.400
<v Speaker 3>learn how to be a man and all this stuff,

0:44:21.440 --> 0:44:23.640
<v Speaker 3>which can be problematic. But the fact that at least

0:44:23.719 --> 0:44:27.000
<v Speaker 3>his dad is a very supportive figure in his life.

0:44:27.560 --> 0:44:29.320
<v Speaker 1>I just think that there's and I guess this is

0:44:30.360 --> 0:44:32.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, for everyone who's gonna I mean, this is

0:44:33.000 --> 0:44:35.319
<v Speaker 1>a major an episode, so we can actually be more

0:44:35.360 --> 0:44:39.719
<v Speaker 1>critical without being afraid of people. But I mean, there's

0:44:39.719 --> 0:44:43.800
<v Speaker 1>a version of this script where instead of creating this

0:44:44.040 --> 0:44:48.360
<v Speaker 1>uncle figure to become you know, who is like this

0:44:48.520 --> 0:44:50.959
<v Speaker 1>positive influence in his life and teaches him the lighter

0:44:51.040 --> 0:44:53.040
<v Speaker 1>side of life and how to have fun, and that

0:44:53.280 --> 0:44:55.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, his dad is you know, the sort of

0:44:55.560 --> 0:44:58.040
<v Speaker 1>rigidity of his dad, isn't the only way to live

0:44:58.280 --> 0:45:01.360
<v Speaker 1>could be played by his mom instead of like creating

0:45:01.560 --> 0:45:06.000
<v Speaker 1>another male character to fill that void. But that said,

0:45:06.080 --> 0:45:10.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean or an aunt or not right right, Like

0:45:10.480 --> 0:45:13.520
<v Speaker 1>it's I don't think that those nests. But but then

0:45:13.560 --> 0:45:15.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't really know because because one of the things

0:45:15.560 --> 0:45:19.040
<v Speaker 1>I do like about this movie is it allows male

0:45:19.200 --> 0:45:22.480
<v Speaker 1>characters to be vulnerable with other male characters in a

0:45:22.520 --> 0:45:25.320
<v Speaker 1>way that seems pretty healthy and productive. And that is

0:45:25.440 --> 0:45:29.280
<v Speaker 1>something that I think young people and people in general

0:45:29.440 --> 0:45:32.439
<v Speaker 1>should see where there's like such a strong like it's

0:45:32.480 --> 0:45:35.279
<v Speaker 1>like part of the core relationship of Miles and his

0:45:35.440 --> 0:45:37.719
<v Speaker 1>dad that his dad is like I love you, say

0:45:37.800 --> 0:45:41.120
<v Speaker 1>it back, like, which you don't see between fathers and

0:45:41.239 --> 0:45:45.160
<v Speaker 1>sons a lot in movies because there's, you know, that

0:45:45.840 --> 0:45:49.520
<v Speaker 1>cultural sticky thing that we can't seem to get rid of.

0:45:49.600 --> 0:45:55.719
<v Speaker 1>His come webs. There's this cultural com web that like

0:45:55.840 --> 0:45:59.360
<v Speaker 1>men can't express their emotions to each other, right, and

0:45:59.560 --> 0:46:03.480
<v Speaker 1>that there is something wrong for Amanda ta another man

0:46:04.320 --> 0:46:06.840
<v Speaker 1>that they love each other. I feel like there's so

0:46:07.000 --> 0:46:10.040
<v Speaker 1>many examples of me growing up where my male cousins,

0:46:10.120 --> 0:46:12.240
<v Speaker 1>my male friends when they were talking to other boys,

0:46:12.680 --> 0:46:15.960
<v Speaker 1>they would couch everything really nervously and no homo and

0:46:16.400 --> 0:46:19.279
<v Speaker 1>they would write like where they would just like there's

0:46:19.400 --> 0:46:25.200
<v Speaker 1>that association that any guy expressing affection or emotion at

0:46:25.239 --> 0:46:28.719
<v Speaker 1>all to any other guy that isn't like anger or

0:46:29.480 --> 0:46:33.200
<v Speaker 1>making fun of women was inherently sexual.

0:46:33.680 --> 0:46:36.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and this movie we're just like a sign of

0:46:36.160 --> 0:46:37.160
<v Speaker 3>weakness kind.

0:46:37.000 --> 0:46:40.920
<v Speaker 1>Of yeah, totally, And so in that way, like Miles

0:46:40.960 --> 0:46:43.040
<v Speaker 1>and his relationship with the adult men in his life

0:46:44.000 --> 0:46:47.560
<v Speaker 1>is good and is good to see because you see Miles,

0:46:48.040 --> 0:46:50.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, tell his daddy loves him, and watch that

0:46:50.880 --> 0:46:54.120
<v Speaker 1>relationship change over time, and you see the closeness of

0:46:54.239 --> 0:46:57.840
<v Speaker 1>the uncle and the nephew that is like, I just

0:46:57.880 --> 0:46:59.359
<v Speaker 1>wish that we got more of the mom.

0:46:59.560 --> 0:47:02.800
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, Yeah, I think maybe a better version

0:47:02.880 --> 0:47:06.840
<v Speaker 3>of this is if Uncle Aaron was actually Aunt Aaron

0:47:06.920 --> 0:47:12.520
<v Speaker 3>aunt erin you are, and then she and Miles's dad

0:47:12.560 --> 0:47:15.719
<v Speaker 3>are brother and sister, the same twist can happen. And

0:47:15.920 --> 0:47:18.040
<v Speaker 3>we know that women can be villains in this world

0:47:18.080 --> 0:47:19.960
<v Speaker 3>because we see Doc Uk.

0:47:20.400 --> 0:47:23.719
<v Speaker 1>Well maybe that's too many female villains that well, but

0:47:23.760 --> 0:47:24.680
<v Speaker 1>then we have female.

0:47:24.440 --> 0:47:27.319
<v Speaker 3>Super exactly so it kind of balances out. And then

0:47:27.360 --> 0:47:30.440
<v Speaker 3>if we have a stronger relationship between or just a

0:47:30.480 --> 0:47:33.520
<v Speaker 3>little bit more screen time devoted to Miles's mom, then

0:47:33.600 --> 0:47:36.080
<v Speaker 3>we get the balance of like, oh, like there's and

0:47:36.200 --> 0:47:38.760
<v Speaker 3>that's not just all the women in his family are evil.

0:47:38.880 --> 0:47:42.080
<v Speaker 3>He's got a very caring and supportive mother.

0:47:42.120 --> 0:47:44.600
<v Speaker 1>And that could be accomplished in a scene like we

0:47:44.719 --> 0:47:47.440
<v Speaker 1>just had one scene that was just the two of

0:47:47.600 --> 0:47:50.520
<v Speaker 1>them that had an impact on the plot, and wasn't

0:47:50.640 --> 0:47:53.239
<v Speaker 1>just like, oh, his mom, because I feel like that's

0:47:53.280 --> 0:47:56.200
<v Speaker 1>how mom characters are used a lot where even if

0:47:56.239 --> 0:47:58.840
<v Speaker 1>you do get a scene with them, it rarely results

0:47:58.920 --> 0:48:02.840
<v Speaker 1>in any plot. She's sort of like, well, he's loved.

0:48:03.160 --> 0:48:05.479
<v Speaker 3>An easy fix could be because we get a sense

0:48:05.600 --> 0:48:10.160
<v Speaker 3>of how how Miles his dad doesn't like, you know,

0:48:10.320 --> 0:48:14.359
<v Speaker 3>the vigilante superhero that is Spider Man. If we see

0:48:14.360 --> 0:48:17.800
<v Speaker 3>a scene where his mom is like, oh, I actually

0:48:17.880 --> 0:48:19.560
<v Speaker 3>think Spider Man's cool.

0:48:19.640 --> 0:48:22.880
<v Speaker 1>And well she's she's a Spider Man's stand.

0:48:23.680 --> 0:48:27.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, what if she has like Spider Man merch and stuff? Yeah,

0:48:27.760 --> 0:48:32.319
<v Speaker 3>and then does this, oh my god, the Spider verse

0:48:32.520 --> 0:48:34.600
<v Speaker 3>that actually sounds like the Collider I don't know if

0:48:34.760 --> 0:48:42.399
<v Speaker 3>if you listeners can hear that anyway, So that would

0:48:42.400 --> 0:48:45.120
<v Speaker 3>impact the plot because a lot of his kind of

0:48:45.200 --> 0:48:49.520
<v Speaker 3>internal struggle comes from his dad not liking Spider Man.

0:48:49.640 --> 0:48:52.520
<v Speaker 4>He likes, Yeah, like Miles already likes Spider Man.

0:48:52.560 --> 0:48:54.719
<v Speaker 1>Seems like every kid likes Spider Man. So like, what

0:48:54.800 --> 0:48:56.880
<v Speaker 1>if Miles' mom likes Spider Man and that's something they

0:48:56.920 --> 0:48:59.879
<v Speaker 1>could bond over or mourn over, because when he dies

0:49:00.080 --> 0:49:03.000
<v Speaker 1>in the sure in Miles is there's more ways to

0:49:03.120 --> 0:49:04.880
<v Speaker 1>include her, and I love I love the idea of

0:49:04.880 --> 0:49:07.680
<v Speaker 1>an aunt instead of an uncle. Yeah, this stories the

0:49:07.760 --> 0:49:08.160
<v Speaker 1>uncle time.

0:49:08.719 --> 0:49:12.080
<v Speaker 4>Anyways, if you're listening Phil Lord Chris.

0:49:13.520 --> 0:49:15.440
<v Speaker 3>Well, I was like, wait a minute, someone said I

0:49:15.520 --> 0:49:17.000
<v Speaker 3>was hot. Better tune in.

0:49:17.560 --> 0:49:20.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, please everyone at Phil Lord and let him know

0:49:20.239 --> 0:49:24.800
<v Speaker 1>how I feel. Yeah, yeah, I know. I agree with you,

0:49:24.920 --> 0:49:27.080
<v Speaker 1>even though I mean it's I loved. I love the

0:49:27.160 --> 0:49:32.040
<v Speaker 1>family story and I love how much I love the

0:49:32.120 --> 0:49:34.920
<v Speaker 1>family stuff. I wish that women had been included more

0:49:35.000 --> 0:49:38.560
<v Speaker 1>meaningfully in the family stuff. Agree, that's all.

0:49:38.760 --> 0:49:43.000
<v Speaker 3>I think the same could also be said for the

0:49:43.120 --> 0:49:43.960
<v Speaker 3>Spider Team.

0:49:44.360 --> 0:49:49.200
<v Speaker 1>I agree, Wow, I completely agree. I think how many

0:49:49.400 --> 0:49:52.919
<v Speaker 1>people are in people animals are in the Spider Team

0:49:52.960 --> 0:49:55.760
<v Speaker 1>total is like eight six six. Two women we've.

0:49:55.600 --> 0:49:59.920
<v Speaker 3>Got Gwen Stacy and Penny Parker are the women we've got.

0:50:00.000 --> 0:50:04.640
<v Speaker 3>But Spider Man, We've got Fick Spider Man not does

0:50:04.719 --> 0:50:11.520
<v Speaker 3>fix Spider Yeah, Spider Noir, Spider ham Miles. Did I

0:50:11.840 --> 0:50:15.359
<v Speaker 3>list all four? Just there, very distracted by you? Did

0:50:15.480 --> 0:50:19.480
<v Speaker 3>this is a Collider? Did men outnumber the women.

0:50:19.840 --> 0:50:23.400
<v Speaker 1>And there's only two people of color? And well, I

0:50:23.480 --> 0:50:28.600
<v Speaker 1>guess we don't technically know Spider Noir or Spider Ham

0:50:29.239 --> 0:50:32.800
<v Speaker 1>but they're voiced by white men. Yes, So it is

0:50:33.239 --> 0:50:36.160
<v Speaker 1>like two out of six in terms of women and

0:50:36.239 --> 0:50:39.680
<v Speaker 1>men and people of color to white people or at

0:50:39.760 --> 0:50:41.040
<v Speaker 1>least actors.

0:50:40.800 --> 0:50:44.200
<v Speaker 3>Right, And this is probably like an adaptation issue where

0:50:44.280 --> 0:50:49.040
<v Speaker 3>there weren't like other comic series written with a woman

0:50:49.120 --> 0:50:52.840
<v Speaker 3>as the lead because they pulled from existing characters.

0:50:52.480 --> 0:50:54.600
<v Speaker 1>And I think it kind of shows and that's like,

0:50:54.640 --> 0:50:57.839
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how that's avoidable because it's like, yeah,

0:50:58.040 --> 0:51:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Peter Parker has been a white kid or adult for

0:51:03.239 --> 0:51:07.799
<v Speaker 1>a long until Miles Morales, so that like it's kind

0:51:07.800 --> 0:51:10.759
<v Speaker 1>of hard to navigate around that and the same thing.

0:51:10.840 --> 0:51:12.839
<v Speaker 1>I mean, And one of the problems that I had

0:51:13.040 --> 0:51:19.120
<v Speaker 1>with Spider Gwen is she's presented very classically feminine and

0:51:19.719 --> 0:51:22.400
<v Speaker 1>her I mean, everyone's costume is different, but hers is

0:51:22.440 --> 0:51:25.840
<v Speaker 1>different in a very particular way. She has a purple,

0:51:26.160 --> 0:51:29.440
<v Speaker 1>pinky streak that goes behind her and it's not that

0:51:29.520 --> 0:51:31.400
<v Speaker 1>there's anything wrong with that, And it's so hard to

0:51:31.480 --> 0:51:33.520
<v Speaker 1>like have this conversation in a way that doesn't seem

0:51:33.600 --> 0:51:37.480
<v Speaker 1>like we're demonizing traditional femininity, Like, right, if that's your thing,

0:51:37.600 --> 0:51:38.560
<v Speaker 1>who cares that's my thing?

0:51:38.600 --> 0:51:40.640
<v Speaker 4>A lot of the time, but it is like the

0:51:41.520 --> 0:51:45.719
<v Speaker 4>standard way that feminized characters.

0:51:46.360 --> 0:51:48.320
<v Speaker 3>Put a bow on them, make them pink.

0:51:48.239 --> 0:51:51.919
<v Speaker 4>And eyes right, and they're like, it's girl Spider Man.

0:51:52.880 --> 0:51:56.400
<v Speaker 3>I would also argue that her fight choreography and the

0:51:56.440 --> 0:51:59.120
<v Speaker 3>way she moves is ballet feminine.

0:51:59.239 --> 0:52:00.800
<v Speaker 1>It looks like ballet a lot of it.

0:52:00.880 --> 0:52:02.879
<v Speaker 3>And she even says at one point, like when they're

0:52:02.880 --> 0:52:05.200
<v Speaker 3>all grilling Miles and they're like, can you punch a

0:52:05.239 --> 0:52:08.040
<v Speaker 3>bunch of bad guys? Can you rewire a fucking main frame?

0:52:08.040 --> 0:52:12.160
<v Speaker 3>Blah blah blah, Gwen asks can you fight with the

0:52:12.280 --> 0:52:14.960
<v Speaker 3>grace of a skilled dancer or something like that. So

0:52:15.080 --> 0:52:17.480
<v Speaker 3>she's all about, like this what appears to be like

0:52:17.520 --> 0:52:21.839
<v Speaker 3>a very feminine fight style, which we've talked about another episode.

0:52:22.560 --> 0:52:27.640
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it sucks, but all the same, the women

0:52:27.719 --> 0:52:31.520
<v Speaker 3>who do exist within the Spider Team are just as

0:52:31.640 --> 0:52:33.920
<v Speaker 3>competent of fighters as all.

0:52:33.840 --> 0:52:36.160
<v Speaker 1>The men, for sure, and they're doing equal work.

0:52:36.480 --> 0:52:40.120
<v Speaker 3>In equal work, Penny seems to have like a specialty

0:52:41.040 --> 0:52:42.480
<v Speaker 3>relating some kind.

0:52:42.320 --> 0:52:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Of computer tech girl. I'd be interested in what our

0:52:47.080 --> 0:52:51.680
<v Speaker 1>Japanese American listeners thought of her portrayal, because it did

0:52:51.760 --> 0:52:54.439
<v Speaker 1>seem like there were a lot of stereotypes being put into,

0:52:54.960 --> 0:52:58.840
<v Speaker 1>like she comes out of this like anime like world,

0:52:59.600 --> 0:53:02.920
<v Speaker 1>which I don't really know, Like I just like don't

0:53:02.960 --> 0:53:05.759
<v Speaker 1>have the perspective to have a strong opinion on that,

0:53:06.040 --> 0:53:08.120
<v Speaker 1>but I could understand why people would have a strong

0:53:08.160 --> 0:53:11.880
<v Speaker 1>opinion about the way that, Like this is the Japanese

0:53:11.880 --> 0:53:16.600
<v Speaker 1>American Spider Woman, and she's portrayed in a very particular way,

0:53:16.800 --> 0:53:19.320
<v Speaker 1>just like the American Spider Woman is portrayed in a

0:53:19.400 --> 0:53:21.440
<v Speaker 1>very particular way that I don't really care for.

0:53:21.920 --> 0:53:25.760
<v Speaker 3>Right, Yeah, I am similarly curious as to what listeners

0:53:26.080 --> 0:53:27.160
<v Speaker 3>think about that, because I.

0:53:27.360 --> 0:53:31.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I was like, that is seems like a lazy choice.

0:53:31.400 --> 0:53:33.200
<v Speaker 1>But I also am I mean, I'm sure that that

0:53:33.480 --> 0:53:38.400
<v Speaker 1>is an adaptation issue as well. I'm reading in Wikipedia

0:53:38.400 --> 0:53:41.640
<v Speaker 1>dot org I ever heard of it that. I guess

0:53:41.880 --> 0:53:47.480
<v Speaker 1>that Penny Parker they definitely wanted an Asian American spider person.

0:53:48.120 --> 0:53:53.280
<v Speaker 1>I guess they considered using another spider woman who's Korean

0:53:53.360 --> 0:53:58.120
<v Speaker 1>American named silk Okay, but they decided her powers weren't

0:53:58.120 --> 0:54:00.759
<v Speaker 1>as cool, and they went with Penny. Oh, it's like

0:54:00.880 --> 0:54:03.480
<v Speaker 1>bring them both it and them both stopping.

0:54:03.640 --> 0:54:07.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, again, it's an adaptation. You can make changes from

0:54:07.400 --> 0:54:08.480
<v Speaker 3>the source materials.

0:54:08.960 --> 0:54:11.719
<v Speaker 1>I feel strongly about Spider Gwen with that, especially like

0:54:11.800 --> 0:54:15.560
<v Speaker 1>they did not it was not integral to the plot

0:54:15.840 --> 0:54:19.120
<v Speaker 1>for her to look move like that, right.

0:54:19.160 --> 0:54:25.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, exactly that said, she does save Miles and Peter

0:54:25.960 --> 0:54:29.200
<v Speaker 3>Parker from doc OC. She does in the beginning, but

0:54:29.239 --> 0:54:31.160
<v Speaker 3>then she needs to be saved at the end. She's

0:54:31.200 --> 0:54:33.960
<v Speaker 3>like about to fall into like the collider beam and

0:54:34.040 --> 0:54:37.080
<v Speaker 3>then Miles has to jump in after her and save her.

0:54:37.200 --> 0:54:39.960
<v Speaker 3>So but at least it's like a parody in terms

0:54:40.040 --> 0:54:42.520
<v Speaker 3>of like women not constantly being damseled.

0:54:43.040 --> 0:54:45.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, I feel like this is like it's

0:54:45.239 --> 0:54:49.160
<v Speaker 1>so weird how things change slightly over time because the

0:54:49.200 --> 0:54:52.080
<v Speaker 1>way she's written, I'm like, this sounds like a woke

0:54:52.280 --> 0:54:55.239
<v Speaker 1>dude wrote this character, and they like tried their best.

0:54:55.280 --> 0:54:57.880
<v Speaker 1>They're like, we're not going to damsel her constantly, but

0:54:58.360 --> 0:55:00.560
<v Speaker 1>there is still like little things. So you're just like,

0:55:01.120 --> 0:55:04.600
<v Speaker 1>I just wanted to fix that where you know, like

0:55:04.920 --> 0:55:08.000
<v Speaker 1>there there there is that implied flirtation between her and

0:55:08.080 --> 0:55:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Miles the whole time, and thank god they didn't. I

0:55:10.560 --> 0:55:12.359
<v Speaker 1>was really worried they're gonna try to shoehorn a kiss

0:55:12.400 --> 0:55:16.719
<v Speaker 1>and at the end they don't but they it's they're

0:55:16.800 --> 0:55:19.560
<v Speaker 1>setting up a kiss at some point in the future.

0:55:20.239 --> 0:55:23.800
<v Speaker 3>Perhaps, yeah, although I mean the way.

0:55:23.719 --> 0:55:26.719
<v Speaker 1>He talks to her for the first time is is

0:55:26.960 --> 0:55:29.920
<v Speaker 1>because like he wants, like his uncle said, put your

0:55:29.960 --> 0:55:33.600
<v Speaker 1>hand on a girl's shoulder, and like, oh, that's how

0:55:33.640 --> 0:55:37.200
<v Speaker 1>we knew he was a villain. But he's like, put

0:55:37.239 --> 0:55:39.640
<v Speaker 1>a hand in a girl's shoulder and like be smooth.

0:55:40.040 --> 0:55:42.920
<v Speaker 1>And it's played in the movie like, oh, he's just

0:55:42.960 --> 0:55:46.920
<v Speaker 1>an awkward teenager. But it's like, no, movie, come on,

0:55:47.200 --> 0:55:50.440
<v Speaker 1>that's something that could have been so easily done differently

0:55:50.760 --> 0:55:53.919
<v Speaker 1>or had her call him out more about it, because

0:55:53.960 --> 0:55:57.239
<v Speaker 1>what happens in the movie is he got compowers now, right,

0:55:57.600 --> 0:56:00.160
<v Speaker 1>So he's a little bit sticky sticky, and so he's

0:56:00.160 --> 0:56:02.439
<v Speaker 1>trying to impress Gwen. He's hearing his thoughts out loud.

0:56:02.480 --> 0:56:05.600
<v Speaker 1>He's freaked out. He remembers his uncle's advice to like

0:56:05.719 --> 0:56:07.840
<v Speaker 1>put your hand on a girl's shoulder to be cool,

0:56:08.200 --> 0:56:10.400
<v Speaker 1>and he does that to Gwen, and his hand sticks

0:56:10.440 --> 0:56:12.759
<v Speaker 1>to her hair because of his spider com and then

0:56:12.800 --> 0:56:16.360
<v Speaker 1>he basically starts whipping her around with his hand and

0:56:16.440 --> 0:56:20.800
<v Speaker 1>she's like, oh fuck, and then you cut too. She

0:56:20.920 --> 0:56:23.320
<v Speaker 1>has to get a haircut because it's sticky hands, and

0:56:24.000 --> 0:56:26.040
<v Speaker 1>he says like, nice to meet you, and we're supposed

0:56:26.040 --> 0:56:28.560
<v Speaker 1>to be like tea heat. But he doesn't apologize.

0:56:30.040 --> 0:56:34.080
<v Speaker 3>And apologize for their coumb No, they don't.

0:56:34.280 --> 0:56:35.840
<v Speaker 1>They just put it wherever they want.

0:56:35.920 --> 0:56:36.480
<v Speaker 4>Literally do.

0:56:36.800 --> 0:56:42.759
<v Speaker 1>It's disgusting. It stops now. But I mean, and he

0:56:42.920 --> 0:56:47.279
<v Speaker 1>never asks to put his hand on her shoulder, and

0:56:47.360 --> 0:56:49.440
<v Speaker 1>I think if you had, she probably wouldn't have said yes, right,

0:56:49.520 --> 0:56:50.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, based on that conversation.

0:56:51.080 --> 0:56:51.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, there is.

0:56:51.800 --> 0:56:56.200
<v Speaker 3>There's a whole scene where Uncle Aaron is basically teaching

0:56:56.400 --> 0:57:00.160
<v Speaker 3>Miles how to, you know, give what's probably usually an

0:57:00.239 --> 0:57:04.239
<v Speaker 3>unwanted touch to his peers and the.

0:57:04.280 --> 0:57:07.680
<v Speaker 1>Process of wearing down that is sort of being described.

0:57:07.760 --> 0:57:09.920
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, we can see that as ooh, that's gross.

0:57:09.960 --> 0:57:12.080
<v Speaker 3>That's a gross thing to teach a young boy.

0:57:12.600 --> 0:57:12.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:57:13.120 --> 0:57:16.400
<v Speaker 3>I guess the fact that it ends horribly is.

0:57:17.280 --> 0:57:19.320
<v Speaker 1>But it doesn't though, because she still wants to be

0:57:19.440 --> 0:57:22.440
<v Speaker 1>his friend and they still end up being like BFFs

0:57:22.560 --> 0:57:26.400
<v Speaker 1>and he never has to apologize, and I just feel

0:57:26.600 --> 0:57:29.520
<v Speaker 1>like it's not the worst thing in the world. But

0:57:30.360 --> 0:57:33.160
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't apologize, and she ends up like having a

0:57:33.240 --> 0:57:33.840
<v Speaker 1>crush on him.

0:57:33.880 --> 0:57:36.400
<v Speaker 3>Anyways, I don't think she has a crush on him.

0:57:36.520 --> 0:57:39.800
<v Speaker 3>I think she like sets some pretty clear boundaries of like.

0:57:40.240 --> 0:57:44.080
<v Speaker 3>But I'm also like really bad at identifying romance when

0:57:44.120 --> 0:57:46.800
<v Speaker 3>I see it, because I would be.

0:57:46.960 --> 0:57:49.720
<v Speaker 4>Really surprised if they made another one of these movies

0:57:49.800 --> 0:57:52.680
<v Speaker 4>and that didn't continue and intensify.

0:57:52.920 --> 0:57:56.440
<v Speaker 3>I would be pleasantly surprised if it doesn't happen, because

0:57:56.520 --> 0:57:59.120
<v Speaker 3>I mean, yeah, that is I think that is probably

0:57:59.120 --> 0:58:02.160
<v Speaker 3>the way it's being set up. But also I would

0:58:02.240 --> 0:58:05.640
<v Speaker 3>argue that the language that they use is like, I

0:58:05.720 --> 0:58:08.800
<v Speaker 3>don't really do friends anymore, and he's like, well, if

0:58:08.840 --> 0:58:11.040
<v Speaker 3>you decide to do friends again, like I could open

0:58:11.120 --> 0:58:12.200
<v Speaker 3>up a spot for you.

0:58:12.400 --> 0:58:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Like it's always in terms of he like accepts the boundary. Yeah,

0:58:16.320 --> 0:58:18.200
<v Speaker 1>I just I don't know. I think that like saying

0:58:18.240 --> 0:58:22.360
<v Speaker 1>that their relationship isn't flirtatious in nature like it so is.

0:58:23.080 --> 0:58:26.200
<v Speaker 3>At the beginning, Yes, I would, I feel like, I

0:58:26.240 --> 0:58:29.520
<v Speaker 3>don't know, toward the end, I feel like it's strictly platonic.

0:58:29.960 --> 0:58:31.360
<v Speaker 3>But again, I'm maybe just.

0:58:31.400 --> 0:58:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Not reading that right. I guess I just disagree on that. Yeah,

0:58:35.680 --> 0:58:37.680
<v Speaker 1>And I just think that that's a kind of a

0:58:38.280 --> 0:58:44.240
<v Speaker 1>waste of Gwen's limited time on screen is having a flirtation.

0:58:44.720 --> 0:58:47.720
<v Speaker 1>We've seen that in Spider Man a million times. Don't

0:58:47.760 --> 0:58:51.120
<v Speaker 1>need to see it again. Didn't need her to. I mean,

0:58:51.160 --> 0:58:53.120
<v Speaker 1>I guess they both rescue each other, so it kind

0:58:53.160 --> 0:58:56.240
<v Speaker 1>of evens out. But I just wanted a little bit

0:58:56.320 --> 0:59:00.760
<v Speaker 1>more for the way Gwen is portrayed, and then for uh,

0:59:01.440 --> 0:59:03.680
<v Speaker 1>for Penny Parker, just to see more for I feel

0:59:03.680 --> 0:59:06.400
<v Speaker 1>like you see the least from her out of everyone,

0:59:06.680 --> 0:59:07.320
<v Speaker 1>her and Noir.

0:59:07.840 --> 0:59:09.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you sort of see the least of well, the

0:59:09.880 --> 0:59:13.919
<v Speaker 3>three like Spider people who are introduced later on, I'd

0:59:13.960 --> 0:59:17.720
<v Speaker 3>say they're all equal parts. Not that important, right, But

0:59:18.080 --> 0:59:22.400
<v Speaker 3>Penny's computer friend breaks at some point, Like.

0:59:22.480 --> 0:59:25.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't care, but I'm sad.

0:59:27.480 --> 0:59:29.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah it did. The movie did make it seem like, look,

0:59:29.840 --> 0:59:32.160
<v Speaker 3>how sad we all are at this, and we're like, well,

0:59:32.200 --> 0:59:34.920
<v Speaker 3>we didn't really get to know Penny's character, So I'm

0:59:35.160 --> 0:59:36.840
<v Speaker 3>not very emotionally affected by.

0:59:36.800 --> 0:59:37.560
<v Speaker 1>That, right.

0:59:38.480 --> 0:59:44.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it does mean that the one woman who is

0:59:44.320 --> 0:59:47.880
<v Speaker 3>a person of color who belongs to the Spider Gang

0:59:48.000 --> 0:59:50.960
<v Speaker 3>doesn't does get much attention paid.

0:59:50.800 --> 0:59:55.680
<v Speaker 1>To her, right, So that's the Spider team, that's it.

0:59:55.920 --> 0:59:58.240
<v Speaker 3>And it's also I mean, I was reminded of The

0:59:59.000 --> 1:00:02.240
<v Speaker 3>Avengers in this where there is like an ensemble team

1:00:02.280 --> 1:00:07.800
<v Speaker 3>of superheroes, but the men are largely driving the story.

1:00:08.160 --> 1:00:11.000
<v Speaker 3>The women don't have their own movie. This is Miles's movie,

1:00:11.800 --> 1:00:14.640
<v Speaker 3>and you know, hopefully maybe we'll get off like a

1:00:14.840 --> 1:00:18.280
<v Speaker 3>Penny Parker spin off or a Gwen's Stacy spin off,

1:00:18.520 --> 1:00:19.120
<v Speaker 3>but maybe.

1:00:19.440 --> 1:00:22.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, but the main focus of the friendship inside

1:00:22.760 --> 1:00:25.840
<v Speaker 1>of this Spider team is Peter Parker and Miles Morales. Yes,

1:00:26.080 --> 1:00:28.200
<v Speaker 1>that is the core friendship. And I think if we

1:00:28.320 --> 1:00:31.040
<v Speaker 1>look at the friendship between Peter Parker and Miles Morales

1:00:31.120 --> 1:00:34.080
<v Speaker 1>and the friendship between Gwen Stacy and Miles Morales, there

1:00:34.160 --> 1:00:37.040
<v Speaker 1>are some gendered differences, but the friend I mean, the

1:00:37.080 --> 1:00:39.040
<v Speaker 1>friend of between Peter and Miles, Like, I don't really

1:00:39.120 --> 1:00:41.840
<v Speaker 1>have any issue with it. I think it's like a

1:00:42.200 --> 1:00:46.000
<v Speaker 1>cool example of things I wish we saw more in

1:00:47.240 --> 1:00:53.040
<v Speaker 1>like female driven narratives of mentorship because that is like

1:00:53.200 --> 1:00:56.360
<v Speaker 1>the key to anything happening is and so it is

1:00:56.680 --> 1:01:01.000
<v Speaker 1>cool to see it, like both Peter Parker's take on

1:01:01.280 --> 1:01:06.520
<v Speaker 1>Miles as a you know, student kind of in this

1:01:06.680 --> 1:01:09.000
<v Speaker 1>like almost karate kid kind of way of like they

1:01:09.080 --> 1:01:14.840
<v Speaker 1>teach him the ways of the Spider and the comwebs,

1:01:14.880 --> 1:01:18.720
<v Speaker 1>and they sort of form that teacher mentor relationship, and

1:01:18.760 --> 1:01:21.720
<v Speaker 1>then you get the natural end of that relationship, which

1:01:21.800 --> 1:01:24.080
<v Speaker 1>is like the student has exceeded the powers of the

1:01:24.160 --> 1:01:26.000
<v Speaker 1>teacher and the teacher must learn to let go.

1:01:26.880 --> 1:01:29.680
<v Speaker 4>And then he does, and he goes back to being

1:01:29.800 --> 1:01:32.720
<v Speaker 4>fixed Spider Man in normal Spider Man world or I

1:01:32.760 --> 1:01:34.520
<v Speaker 4>guess original Spider Man world.

1:01:35.320 --> 1:01:37.600
<v Speaker 3>I mean, well, that is weird because he goes back

1:01:37.720 --> 1:01:41.800
<v Speaker 3>to a world where Coca Cola is called Coca cola.

1:01:42.040 --> 1:01:45.200
<v Speaker 3>The world that Miles lives in is called Coca Soda.

1:01:45.600 --> 1:01:48.960
<v Speaker 3>So it's like, it's not quite our universe.

1:01:49.040 --> 1:01:49.920
<v Speaker 1>It's it's a little bit.

1:01:49.960 --> 1:01:51.920
<v Speaker 3>There's also a Seth Rogan movie. I don't know if

1:01:51.960 --> 1:01:54.960
<v Speaker 3>you caught that, but they're all right when all the

1:01:55.000 --> 1:02:01.640
<v Speaker 3>Spider people like bounce into Times Square from their respect dimensions.

1:02:01.200 --> 1:02:03.880
<v Speaker 1>Seth Rogen exists in every multiverse.

1:02:05.320 --> 1:02:09.600
<v Speaker 3>S post her for a movie called Hold Your Horses,

1:02:10.160 --> 1:02:11.760
<v Speaker 3>and then it says like starring Seth.

1:02:11.640 --> 1:02:14.680
<v Speaker 1>Rogen, glad that Seth Rogan got an appearance in his

1:02:15.160 --> 1:02:19.280
<v Speaker 1>five hundredth movie this year. I'm exhausted.

1:02:20.000 --> 1:02:23.919
<v Speaker 3>Anyway, Let's take another break and we will come right back,

1:02:30.440 --> 1:02:31.560
<v Speaker 3>and we are back.

1:02:32.080 --> 1:02:36.160
<v Speaker 1>Can we talk about Octavius? Yeah? I liked her. We

1:02:36.240 --> 1:02:40.640
<v Speaker 1>don't really know that much about her personally. Her friends

1:02:40.720 --> 1:02:43.560
<v Speaker 1>call her live, her friends call her live. That's basically always.

1:02:43.560 --> 1:02:46.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, she's an ambitious woman in stem who hates

1:02:46.880 --> 1:02:48.919
<v Speaker 1>Spider Man, which I think we're sort of just taking

1:02:48.960 --> 1:02:51.040
<v Speaker 1>it face value because we're like, oh, Doc Kok always

1:02:51.080 --> 1:02:54.800
<v Speaker 1>hates Spider Man. Where uh if we go to the

1:02:54.840 --> 1:03:00.360
<v Speaker 1>alpha Molina interpretation please of Doc Cok. You know, it's,

1:03:00.560 --> 1:03:05.360
<v Speaker 1>first of all, I'm not saying that Catherine Hahn did,

1:03:06.240 --> 1:03:09.440
<v Speaker 1>but you know, the golden standard has been said.

1:03:09.280 --> 1:03:12.720
<v Speaker 3>Sure, and no one can reach it except for our.

1:03:12.880 --> 1:03:15.400
<v Speaker 1>Except for letting him reprise the role. Right. But I

1:03:15.520 --> 1:03:18.200
<v Speaker 1>do think that there is a distinct difference, and maybe

1:03:18.320 --> 1:03:21.720
<v Speaker 1>there just wasn't the real estate and the filmmakers are

1:03:21.800 --> 1:03:24.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of assuming, like, well, you know, he's you know

1:03:24.800 --> 1:03:27.880
<v Speaker 1>or she in this case like Doc Cock cakee spider Man.

1:03:28.320 --> 1:03:28.480
<v Speaker 3>Duh.

1:03:29.000 --> 1:03:31.320
<v Speaker 1>But but in Spider Man two two thousand and four,

1:03:32.960 --> 1:03:37.480
<v Speaker 1>we find out explicit reasons why Docock hates Spider Man,

1:03:38.080 --> 1:03:40.440
<v Speaker 1>and there is more of a relationship between Doc Cock

1:03:40.480 --> 1:03:42.880
<v Speaker 1>and Spider Man, and we find out about Doc Cock's

1:03:43.240 --> 1:03:47.560
<v Speaker 1>personal life. Yeah, sort and a kind of like fridging

1:03:48.280 --> 1:03:52.480
<v Speaker 1>in a definitely friging narrative of his wife. His wife

1:03:52.680 --> 1:03:55.240
<v Speaker 1>gets killed and he, you know, he's tortured by his

1:03:55.320 --> 1:03:58.000
<v Speaker 1>own technology, and he's possessed by his own technology, and

1:03:58.040 --> 1:04:03.120
<v Speaker 1>there's there's just a lot there, beautifully. And while I

1:04:03.400 --> 1:04:07.919
<v Speaker 1>like Olivia Octavius, she fills the role a villain needs

1:04:08.000 --> 1:04:09.880
<v Speaker 1>to fill, I don't.

1:04:10.720 --> 1:04:14.040
<v Speaker 3>She's not characterize nearly as much as like fisk Is

1:04:14.440 --> 1:04:18.320
<v Speaker 3>or as you know, or ass doc oc. But I

1:04:18.360 --> 1:04:21.439
<v Speaker 3>guess or is the or is what is the name

1:04:21.600 --> 1:04:23.280
<v Speaker 3>of the uncle villain the Prowler?

1:04:23.480 --> 1:04:26.040
<v Speaker 1>The Prowler. I feel like there is a version where

1:04:26.560 --> 1:04:30.480
<v Speaker 1>you can almost write Octavius out of this version. The

1:04:30.520 --> 1:04:32.720
<v Speaker 1>reason she needs to be there is because she has

1:04:32.800 --> 1:04:37.320
<v Speaker 1>the technology to build the fucking whatever that makes the multiverse.

1:04:38.000 --> 1:04:40.880
<v Speaker 1>But outside of that, what purpose does she serve in

1:04:40.960 --> 1:04:43.919
<v Speaker 1>this world besides to carry out the scientific task? Because

1:04:43.960 --> 1:04:47.640
<v Speaker 1>I feel like Prowler gets all the parts of the

1:04:47.880 --> 1:04:50.200
<v Speaker 1>of a villain that we really like, which is like

1:04:50.680 --> 1:04:55.200
<v Speaker 1>personal connection to the protagonist, a struggle between the two

1:04:55.320 --> 1:04:57.440
<v Speaker 1>of them, like things they have in common, things they

1:04:57.520 --> 1:04:59.840
<v Speaker 1>don't have in common, and that just doesn't exist for

1:05:00.000 --> 1:05:02.280
<v Speaker 1>octavious at all. We're just like dococ hate Spider Man,

1:05:02.600 --> 1:05:04.440
<v Speaker 1>and so she hates all the Spider Man.

1:05:04.640 --> 1:05:08.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so I feel like that there is I guess

1:05:08.280 --> 1:05:10.960
<v Speaker 3>we're just we're so used to doc Cock being like

1:05:11.120 --> 1:05:15.280
<v Speaker 3>a crucial player in the Spider Verse because of what

1:05:15.400 --> 1:05:18.760
<v Speaker 3>we've seen in Spider Man two. In this thing, she

1:05:18.880 --> 1:05:21.440
<v Speaker 3>carries out that very specific function of having created the

1:05:21.480 --> 1:05:24.280
<v Speaker 3>collider and that's all we But the.

1:05:24.360 --> 1:05:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Other two villains, we know a lot about their personal life. Fisk,

1:05:27.040 --> 1:05:31.600
<v Speaker 1>we know his wife, yeah, and his son and how

1:05:31.680 --> 1:05:33.720
<v Speaker 1>he lost them, an ego and all that shit, and

1:05:33.760 --> 1:05:36.080
<v Speaker 1>he's a big square and he's sad. We know all that.

1:05:36.160 --> 1:05:38.480
<v Speaker 1>We get that in the flashback sequence with Probably. We

1:05:38.600 --> 1:05:40.560
<v Speaker 1>know who he is to the protagonist. We know why

1:05:40.760 --> 1:05:42.920
<v Speaker 1>this relationship is difficult and why it's so sad to

1:05:43.000 --> 1:05:45.640
<v Speaker 1>lose him. But it's I feel like they kind of

1:05:45.640 --> 1:05:48.120
<v Speaker 1>were like all female rubit of doc Cog and then

1:05:48.280 --> 1:05:49.920
<v Speaker 1>just sort of didn't do anything with it, Like we

1:05:49.960 --> 1:05:51.080
<v Speaker 1>don't know anything about.

1:05:50.920 --> 1:05:53.080
<v Speaker 3>Her, well, we don't know anything about I don't know

1:05:53.280 --> 1:05:56.640
<v Speaker 3>this is a name Scorpion or something. There's another villain

1:05:56.640 --> 1:05:59.840
<v Speaker 3>who's like in the Bad Guy Gang. We know next

1:06:00.080 --> 1:06:02.160
<v Speaker 3>to nothing about and then like the Green Goblin, we

1:06:02.200 --> 1:06:04.200
<v Speaker 3>don't know. I think it feels like she is just

1:06:04.280 --> 1:06:08.600
<v Speaker 3>sort of like an ancillary character who is familiar to us,

1:06:08.680 --> 1:06:11.520
<v Speaker 3>so we're like, oh, we know her. I mean, I

1:06:11.640 --> 1:06:12.240
<v Speaker 3>know what you're saying.

1:06:12.360 --> 1:06:15.360
<v Speaker 1>And I just feel like it's kind of gender swap

1:06:15.680 --> 1:06:18.360
<v Speaker 1>be to make the move of gender swapping a character

1:06:18.480 --> 1:06:22.400
<v Speaker 1>and then not doing anything with it. Sure, especially if an.

1:06:22.320 --> 1:06:27.760
<v Speaker 3>Original character was so deeply characterized, Like it almost feels

1:06:27.880 --> 1:06:30.880
<v Speaker 3>like a we gender swapped it so you wouldn't see

1:06:30.920 --> 1:06:33.200
<v Speaker 3>it coming kind of thing. It did feel like that,

1:06:33.760 --> 1:06:36.320
<v Speaker 3>like kind of that corny where it's be twist where

1:06:36.320 --> 1:06:38.840
<v Speaker 3>they're like the like I mean, if we go if

1:06:38.880 --> 1:06:41.240
<v Speaker 3>you go further back and enough, like the doctor was

1:06:41.320 --> 1:06:45.120
<v Speaker 3>a woman like that kind of like you're supposed to

1:06:45.160 --> 1:06:49.080
<v Speaker 3>be like, oh, that's not Alfred Moleyna. I assume well

1:06:49.160 --> 1:06:53.760
<v Speaker 3>that there's a line in the movie where Peter Parker

1:06:54.240 --> 1:06:58.919
<v Speaker 3>is God, this fucking is so distracting, its relentless Yeah,

1:06:59.640 --> 1:07:03.680
<v Speaker 3>where Peter Parker is like laying out the plan whenever

1:07:03.760 --> 1:07:05.880
<v Speaker 3>they get to alchem X, and he's like, all right,

1:07:05.920 --> 1:07:09.080
<v Speaker 3>step one infiltrate the lab, step two, find the leads.

1:07:09.360 --> 1:07:11.480
<v Speaker 3>They do do that? And then Myles is like, that

1:07:11.760 --> 1:07:13.880
<v Speaker 3>was like the lady and the scientists.

1:07:13.960 --> 1:07:14.720
<v Speaker 4>Oh cool.

1:07:14.960 --> 1:07:17.440
<v Speaker 3>He's like, I need to re examine my personal biases

1:07:17.600 --> 1:07:20.280
<v Speaker 3>because you just assumed that the scientist would be a man,

1:07:20.560 --> 1:07:22.320
<v Speaker 3>didn't you, Peter Well, I.

1:07:22.360 --> 1:07:26.280
<v Speaker 1>Mean, to be fair, and the Jake Johnson Peter Parker

1:07:26.440 --> 1:07:30.480
<v Speaker 1>universe doc Cock is Alfred Molina. Uh so we have

1:07:30.600 --> 1:07:33.320
<v Speaker 1>to assume that that cartoon spider Man knows Alfred Willina

1:07:33.400 --> 1:07:35.800
<v Speaker 1>personally and maybe even saw him performed.

1:07:36.080 --> 1:07:38.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean probably, yeah, probably, Yeah.

1:07:39.560 --> 1:07:41.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean I don't really have anything to say about

1:07:42.040 --> 1:07:45.360
<v Speaker 1>the Doccock character other than like it was cool that

1:07:45.480 --> 1:07:47.560
<v Speaker 1>they you know, like, I don't think there's any ethical

1:07:47.680 --> 1:07:50.360
<v Speaker 1>issue with them gender swapping that character. It just felt

1:07:50.400 --> 1:07:53.520
<v Speaker 1>like it was done in lieu of you know, she's

1:07:53.560 --> 1:07:57.080
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be a more prominent villain than the Scorpion guy, Like,

1:07:57.160 --> 1:07:58.680
<v Speaker 1>we don't know anything. I feel like we almost don't

1:07:58.680 --> 1:08:00.439
<v Speaker 1>know anything about the Scorpion guy kind of for a reason.

1:08:00.560 --> 1:08:06.640
<v Speaker 1>But you know, she's the first villain that we really meet, yeah,

1:08:07.200 --> 1:08:10.040
<v Speaker 1>in Earnest, and a big deal is made of her

1:08:10.200 --> 1:08:13.800
<v Speaker 1>reveal and then we just don't And then my friends call.

1:08:13.800 --> 1:08:18.120
<v Speaker 3>Me live right. Yeah. Well, more a little more on

1:08:18.200 --> 1:08:22.320
<v Speaker 3>that is that we've talked in various other episodes on

1:08:22.680 --> 1:08:26.840
<v Speaker 3>action movies where there seems to be a trend where

1:08:27.680 --> 1:08:32.280
<v Speaker 3>men who are usually the heroes, the action heroes, when

1:08:32.320 --> 1:08:35.760
<v Speaker 3>they're fighting, there's usually not women for them to fight.

1:08:35.840 --> 1:08:38.920
<v Speaker 3>They're usually fighting other men. Yeah, and if they are

1:08:39.080 --> 1:08:42.280
<v Speaker 3>fighting women, they're always like, can I hit a woman,

1:08:42.400 --> 1:08:48.160
<v Speaker 3>even if she's trying to kill me? And so we've

1:08:48.200 --> 1:08:52.840
<v Speaker 3>had different discussions on various episodes about that there tends

1:08:52.880 --> 1:08:55.640
<v Speaker 3>to be this thing. It's like, well, so that we

1:08:55.720 --> 1:08:58.439
<v Speaker 3>don't have to like even broach this subject, Let's just

1:08:58.520 --> 1:09:03.120
<v Speaker 3>make sure that men are only fighting men in this movie, Doc,

1:09:03.160 --> 1:09:06.559
<v Speaker 3>Dog poses a serious threat. You know, she is trying

1:09:06.560 --> 1:09:09.360
<v Speaker 3>to kill the Spider people. Yeah, she has these mechanical

1:09:09.520 --> 1:09:12.200
<v Speaker 3>arms that can cause a lot of damage, and we

1:09:12.360 --> 1:09:17.360
<v Speaker 3>understand that she's a dangerous adversary. We see men fighting her,

1:09:17.479 --> 1:09:19.280
<v Speaker 3>punching her in the face, you know, like.

1:09:19.800 --> 1:09:23.599
<v Speaker 1>And it not being a gender thing. It's being a fight,

1:09:24.120 --> 1:09:24.719
<v Speaker 1>right movie.

1:09:24.880 --> 1:09:27.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, And that is cool and the way and in

1:09:27.800 --> 1:09:32.200
<v Speaker 4>sort of in contrast to our annoyance with how Gwen's

1:09:32.280 --> 1:09:36.360
<v Speaker 4>fighting is stylized, uh doc doc stylizing isn't you know

1:09:36.600 --> 1:09:37.160
<v Speaker 4>femed up?

1:09:37.400 --> 1:09:40.400
<v Speaker 1>No, And anyway, Nora is her costume. She's basically wearing

1:09:40.400 --> 1:09:43.680
<v Speaker 1>the same thing that icon Alfred Molina war.

1:09:43.840 --> 1:09:46.800
<v Speaker 3>I mean a long coat along a trench coat.

1:09:47.000 --> 1:09:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, listen, Doc Dog wears a trench coat. That's cannon.

1:09:49.960 --> 1:09:53.000
<v Speaker 1>If you don't like it, watch another movie. I don't

1:09:53.160 --> 1:09:56.479
<v Speaker 1>like to say it's a trench coat movie. Yeah. I

1:09:56.600 --> 1:10:00.200
<v Speaker 1>just wish that there was more there for her. We

1:10:00.360 --> 1:10:03.040
<v Speaker 1>just we just don't know how how Doc Hawk feels

1:10:03.080 --> 1:10:05.720
<v Speaker 1>about Miles Morales. We just know that she hates the

1:10:06.040 --> 1:10:10.320
<v Speaker 1>entity that is Spider. She'll she'll kill any Spider person.

1:10:10.880 --> 1:10:15.599
<v Speaker 3>So I did the prejudice there against spider people?

1:10:16.760 --> 1:10:19.640
<v Speaker 1>Why are we talking about this? What is going on

1:10:19.800 --> 1:10:26.840
<v Speaker 1>with the octopi and the spiders? They both got a legs? God?

1:10:28.479 --> 1:10:32.479
<v Speaker 3>Maybe that she's like, I'm the only eight leg eight

1:10:32.640 --> 1:10:34.560
<v Speaker 3>leg yeah, so screw.

1:10:34.479 --> 1:10:37.600
<v Speaker 1>Us A wild storyline.

1:10:38.360 --> 1:10:38.559
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

1:10:38.640 --> 1:10:39.120
<v Speaker 5>So, I just.

1:10:42.360 --> 1:10:46.240
<v Speaker 3>I just only want that movie where it's like octopus

1:10:47.439 --> 1:10:48.479
<v Speaker 3>legs get along.

1:10:49.800 --> 1:10:50.360
<v Speaker 1>That's a good I.

1:10:50.400 --> 1:10:53.280
<v Speaker 3>Mean, plenty of two legged people can't get along.

1:10:53.560 --> 1:10:59.320

1:11:18.840 --> 1:11:21.840
<v Speaker 1>the movie of Like, it's hard not to be critical

1:11:21.880 --> 1:11:23.799
<v Speaker 1>of the way that character is written in the original

1:11:23.880 --> 1:11:27.120
<v Speaker 1>story where she is just a nice old lady and

1:11:27.240 --> 1:11:29.880
<v Speaker 1>we love that for her, but she's completely weak. She's

1:11:31.040 --> 1:11:34.120
<v Speaker 1>i think in multiple movies she is damsel.

1:11:33.800 --> 1:11:36.920
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, stolen by you know, captured by the villain.

1:11:37.120 --> 1:11:39.080
<v Speaker 1>She's damseled by by Alfred Molina.

1:11:39.200 --> 1:11:39.240
<v Speaker 4>No.

1:11:39.880 --> 1:11:43.960
<v Speaker 1>He has that great anecdote about that scene where I

1:11:44.000 --> 1:11:46.240
<v Speaker 1>guess they were on set and he was holding her

1:11:46.280 --> 1:11:48.759
<v Speaker 1>in his claw and she's, you know, like the actress

1:11:48.840 --> 1:11:51.439
<v Speaker 1>was older, and she was like kind of uncomfortable and

1:11:51.520 --> 1:11:53.479
<v Speaker 1>kind of annoyed, and she just like turned to him

1:11:53.520 --> 1:11:55.840
<v Speaker 1>and she's just like, you know, I went to Juliard

1:11:57.479 --> 1:12:02.240
<v Speaker 1>and she was like, oh, I'm sorry, which is really funny.

1:12:02.320 --> 1:12:05.840
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, I mean, she's constantly damseled and or just

1:12:05.920 --> 1:12:08.800
<v Speaker 3>sort of like oblivious a lot of the time, where

1:12:08.840 --> 1:12:11.160
<v Speaker 3>she doesn't see why aren't you home?

1:12:11.880 --> 1:12:14.280
<v Speaker 1>And is so is so I mean even if you

1:12:14.400 --> 1:12:18.400
<v Speaker 1>compare her to Uncle Ben in the Samaraimi movies, like

1:12:18.560 --> 1:12:23.320
<v Speaker 1>Uncle Ben was at least cogent and knew what was

1:12:23.400 --> 1:12:27.000
<v Speaker 1>going on, but like aunt May always needed Peter's help,

1:12:27.040 --> 1:12:30.519
<v Speaker 1>whether it was financial, whether it was to save her life,

1:12:30.760 --> 1:12:33.160
<v Speaker 1>like she was very rarely.

1:12:33.760 --> 1:12:36.280
<v Speaker 3>Well, uncle Ben dies before or anything happens.

1:12:36.360 --> 1:12:37.800
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, we get to know Uncle Ben a

1:12:37.840 --> 1:12:40.160
<v Speaker 1>little bit in the first movie where he's he is

1:12:40.360 --> 1:12:44.439
<v Speaker 1>like very masculine, and it seems more involved in Peter's

1:12:44.720 --> 1:12:49.280
<v Speaker 1>like formation than Aunt May is, or that's what's like implied.

1:12:50.320 --> 1:12:53.360
<v Speaker 1>And then ann May seems sort of like and there

1:12:53.439 --> 1:12:57.120
<v Speaker 1>are moments where she gets to, you know, do her thing,

1:12:57.280 --> 1:13:02.720
<v Speaker 1>but you know, she's a grieving wife, she's a maternal caretaker,

1:13:02.920 --> 1:13:07.840
<v Speaker 1>and she's constantly damseled. But in this version Watch Out Baby,

1:13:08.160 --> 1:13:15.920
<v Speaker 1>she's a scientist who makes spider weapons, and that is great.

1:13:16.160 --> 1:13:18.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I almost didn't really need to know that

1:13:18.640 --> 1:13:21.559
<v Speaker 1>much more cause it and you get that cool moment

1:13:21.600 --> 1:13:24.920
<v Speaker 1>where in aunt May's universe Peter Parker's dad and in

1:13:25.040 --> 1:13:28.080
<v Speaker 1>Peter Parker's universe, Aunt May is dead, so they're both

1:13:28.200 --> 1:13:32.679
<v Speaker 1>seeing each other but not and you're like, oh, that's nice.

1:13:32.720 --> 1:13:36.600
<v Speaker 1>And then she's like, anyways, Spider Lab, Yeah, she.

1:13:37.000 --> 1:13:39.040
<v Speaker 3>Knows exactly what's gone. She's like, let me guess you're

1:13:39.080 --> 1:13:42.320
<v Speaker 3>from another dimension. Let's go, let's deal with this shit.

1:13:42.520 --> 1:13:46.400
<v Speaker 4>She's almost like fucking Michael Caine and Batman, where she's

1:13:46.520 --> 1:13:48.280
<v Speaker 4>just like badass older.

1:13:48.080 --> 1:13:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Person who has all the gear. Mm hmm, what is

1:13:50.760 --> 1:13:51.160
<v Speaker 1>his name?

1:13:51.520 --> 1:13:55.440
<v Speaker 3>The butler Alfred Alfred, not to be confused with Alfred Molina.

1:13:56.920 --> 1:13:58.840
<v Speaker 1>We should do the Batman movies at some point. That

1:13:58.920 --> 1:14:01.760
<v Speaker 1>would be fucking what a trip that would be.

1:14:02.080 --> 1:14:04.280
<v Speaker 3>Oh I should have mentioned this earlier. But in the

1:14:05.280 --> 1:14:09.439
<v Speaker 3>newer reboot of Spider Man with Tom Holland, the version

1:14:09.520 --> 1:14:11.960
<v Speaker 3>of Aunt May that we see in those movies is

1:14:12.920 --> 1:14:16.280
<v Speaker 3>she's hot. That's her thing. She's played by Marissa Tommy,

1:14:16.880 --> 1:14:19.960
<v Speaker 3>and it's important that you know that she's hot and

1:14:21.120 --> 1:14:22.920
<v Speaker 3>that is I like.

1:14:23.040 --> 1:14:26.679
<v Speaker 1>This choice way that I got. Sometimes with these movies,

1:14:26.840 --> 1:14:30.040
<v Speaker 1>like superhero movies in particular, you can just like hear

1:14:30.720 --> 1:14:35.479
<v Speaker 1>the executive focus groups just like just like totally miss

1:14:35.640 --> 1:14:37.720
<v Speaker 1>really like no, no, no, what if I May? What

1:14:37.760 --> 1:14:42.160
<v Speaker 1>if you are a fucker? You're like, no, that's what

1:14:42.320 --> 1:14:45.040
<v Speaker 1>are you talking about. There's so few roles for older

1:14:45.080 --> 1:14:50.960
<v Speaker 1>women Anyways, I loved Lily Tomlin's Aunt Ma character totally,

1:14:51.040 --> 1:14:53.680
<v Speaker 1>yet like she's not a main character, not a lot

1:14:53.720 --> 1:14:56.240
<v Speaker 1>of attention is drawn to her, I think for plot reasons,

1:14:56.560 --> 1:14:59.840
<v Speaker 1>but they just like that's good adaptation. Is like take

1:15:00.160 --> 1:15:03.799
<v Speaker 1>a character that people are familiar with and like turning

1:15:03.880 --> 1:15:06.600
<v Speaker 1>them up and modernizing them and making them cool and

1:15:06.840 --> 1:15:09.200
<v Speaker 1>useful to the plot. Yes, so I liked that.

1:15:09.800 --> 1:15:13.240
<v Speaker 4>Agree, Mary Jane's there, she's still his wife.

1:15:13.280 --> 1:15:13.800
<v Speaker 1>In this way.

1:15:14.040 --> 1:15:16.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Yeah, we don't see a ton of her.

1:15:17.080 --> 1:15:18.439
<v Speaker 1>What happened to her theater career?

1:15:19.080 --> 1:15:23.320
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, Ah, she is a fucking Fisk Tower at

1:15:23.360 --> 1:15:25.760
<v Speaker 3>that benefit dinner, and it's like, can't you see that

1:15:25.880 --> 1:15:27.200
<v Speaker 3>that guy is mean?

1:15:27.920 --> 1:15:29.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm like you were Spider Man.

1:15:29.880 --> 1:15:32.240
<v Speaker 3>That would be like bouse, that would be like if

1:15:32.320 --> 1:15:32.840
<v Speaker 3>she went.

1:15:32.880 --> 1:15:37.599
<v Speaker 1>To like Donald Trump Trump from Tower House. So yeah,

1:15:37.720 --> 1:15:41.320
<v Speaker 1>she's kind of I mean, it makes sense that she's sidelined.

1:15:41.520 --> 1:15:43.439
<v Speaker 1>But but there there is a version of that character

1:15:43.479 --> 1:15:45.560
<v Speaker 1>where they could have done something cool with her like

1:15:45.640 --> 1:15:48.200
<v Speaker 1>they did with Aunt May and didn't just present her

1:15:48.280 --> 1:15:51.120
<v Speaker 1>as like grieving lady with nice hair.

1:15:51.720 --> 1:15:54.839
<v Speaker 3>Maybe we'll see some of that in school perhaps.

1:15:56.200 --> 1:16:00.360
<v Speaker 1>So, I mean, you don't hire Zoe Kravitz for no reason, right, right,

1:16:00.840 --> 1:16:01.400
<v Speaker 1>She's great.

1:16:01.840 --> 1:16:05.880
<v Speaker 3>I love her well. I think that was about all

1:16:06.280 --> 1:16:11.000
<v Speaker 3>I had to say about one of my new favorite movies.

1:16:11.320 --> 1:16:15.439
<v Speaker 1>I thought this movie is an absolute blast and is

1:16:16.120 --> 1:16:18.880
<v Speaker 1>some of the best, the best you're gonna get in

1:16:19.040 --> 1:16:24.320
<v Speaker 1>terms of representation in a modern movie. It's I thought

1:16:24.360 --> 1:16:26.400
<v Speaker 1>it was weird that there wasn't any space made for

1:16:26.479 --> 1:16:31.360
<v Speaker 1>a queer character where there are so many characters. It's

1:16:31.439 --> 1:16:34.599
<v Speaker 1>not a particular I mean, it's not a romantic movie,

1:16:34.800 --> 1:16:37.360
<v Speaker 1>but it would have. It just seems like, I mean,

1:16:37.400 --> 1:16:40.800
<v Speaker 1>if there's future installments, this is a very inclusive movie,

1:16:40.880 --> 1:16:43.080
<v Speaker 1>and that's in the DNA of what the movie is,

1:16:43.240 --> 1:16:44.960
<v Speaker 1>so like, you know, make a.

1:16:44.960 --> 1:16:46.240
<v Speaker 3>Little more sure.

1:16:46.520 --> 1:16:46.640
<v Speaker 4>Oh.

1:16:46.840 --> 1:16:49.479
<v Speaker 3>That reminds me though. One of the very few things

1:16:49.479 --> 1:16:54.960
<v Speaker 3>that we do know about MJ in this universe is

1:16:55.080 --> 1:16:59.400
<v Speaker 3>that she voted for Docopher Peter be In addition to that,

1:17:00.320 --> 1:17:06.280
<v Speaker 3>at least for Peter B. Parker's the MJ. Johnson Jake Johnson.

1:17:07.000 --> 1:17:11.280
<v Speaker 3>She wants children, so she's given a very like right

1:17:11.600 --> 1:17:15.960
<v Speaker 3>and then maternal boring, and he's like, and that's why

1:17:16.040 --> 1:17:18.840
<v Speaker 3>our marriage fell apart, because I wasn't ready to have kids.

1:17:18.880 --> 1:17:20.800
<v Speaker 3>And then by the end, He's like, wait a minute,

1:17:21.120 --> 1:17:24.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm proud of Miles Morales. Maybe I do want children.

1:17:24.280 --> 1:17:27.360
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, my spider come loaded. Let's make Spiner

1:17:27.520 --> 1:17:32.400
<v Speaker 3>me and you know, having children is great. Let's perpetuate

1:17:32.479 --> 1:17:35.040
<v Speaker 3>the species. But that's the real thing that we know about.

1:17:35.439 --> 1:17:38.040
<v Speaker 3>We don't need any more white women who voted for

1:17:38.120 --> 1:17:44.439
<v Speaker 3>Donald Trump reproducing. Okay, thank you, but yeah, other than that,

1:17:44.800 --> 1:17:48.920
<v Speaker 3>it does a fairly good job, at least compared to

1:17:50.400 --> 1:17:52.800
<v Speaker 3>the Spider Man franchise as a.

1:17:52.880 --> 1:17:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Whole knocking down the apartment.

1:17:55.400 --> 1:17:59.200
<v Speaker 3>They are hurting someone. I do not know what they're

1:17:59.240 --> 1:18:04.479
<v Speaker 3>doing there. Again, listeners, apologies if this has been an

1:18:04.479 --> 1:18:09.519
<v Speaker 3>annoying episode to listen to because of the machinery that's

1:18:09.560 --> 1:18:13.920
<v Speaker 3>happening next door. But there's simply nothing we can do

1:18:14.000 --> 1:18:14.280
<v Speaker 3>about it.

1:18:14.320 --> 1:18:17.280
<v Speaker 1>There's nothing we can do about it. This is listen.

1:18:17.520 --> 1:18:21.280
<v Speaker 4>Tell your friends to keep plunging to the Matreon and

1:18:21.400 --> 1:18:23.040
<v Speaker 4>we'll get a mansion o liven.

1:18:23.240 --> 1:18:28.600
<v Speaker 3>Okay, yeah, we'll all find some secluded house in the

1:18:29.080 --> 1:18:29.840
<v Speaker 3>where you get.

1:18:29.680 --> 1:18:33.080
<v Speaker 1>A tree house. You get a really nice tree house

1:18:33.120 --> 1:18:36.120
<v Speaker 1>that seems realistic. Someday I think I want I want

1:18:36.160 --> 1:18:43.760
<v Speaker 1>to We need to just dig. They don't charge to dig.

1:18:44.840 --> 1:18:49.320
<v Speaker 1>It does sound like a crazy conspiracy went wild. We

1:18:49.479 --> 1:18:51.920
<v Speaker 1>said that can't we just need to buy a five

1:18:52.000 --> 1:18:59.479
<v Speaker 1>foot square foot digging all right? Well that was that

1:18:59.640 --> 1:19:03.320
<v Speaker 1>was that, Hey, what are under other people's houses? Right?

1:19:03.400 --> 1:19:05.120
<v Speaker 1>And then just like they don't know?

1:19:05.960 --> 1:19:06.360
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

1:19:06.520 --> 1:19:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I've been reading too much about.

1:19:07.760 --> 1:19:11.120
<v Speaker 3>The Denver Airport zoned for that if I don't know, if.

1:19:11.000 --> 1:19:15.400
<v Speaker 4>They can you legislate, yes you can, Okay, but.

1:19:17.800 --> 1:19:20.559
<v Speaker 1>You know I think that I'm gonna start tunneling. Yeah,

1:19:20.560 --> 1:19:23.719
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna get Everyone should look up conspiracy theories about

1:19:23.720 --> 1:19:26.599
<v Speaker 1>the Denver Airport. I can't stop thinking about it. Yeah,

1:19:26.640 --> 1:19:28.559
<v Speaker 1>there's tunnels. Wow, yep.

1:19:29.080 --> 1:19:30.840
<v Speaker 3>Hey does this movie past the Bechdel.

1:19:30.600 --> 1:19:35.320
<v Speaker 1>Tast I thought it came close, but I don't think

1:19:35.360 --> 1:19:38.479
<v Speaker 1>it does. Do Gwen and Dot ok ever exchange words?

1:19:38.640 --> 1:19:39.080
<v Speaker 6>Not that I.

1:19:39.280 --> 1:19:42.640
<v Speaker 3>Noticed, And Gwen and Penny Parker also, I do not

1:19:42.960 --> 1:19:47.760
<v Speaker 3>believe interact right. The only conversation that I noticed was

1:19:48.400 --> 1:19:52.439
<v Speaker 3>where Aunt Ma says, oh, geez, are those sweatpants referring

1:19:52.439 --> 1:19:55.280
<v Speaker 3>to Peter Parker's sweatpants, and then Gwen says, yep, that's

1:19:55.320 --> 1:19:57.599
<v Speaker 3>what they are. But they're talking about Peter Parker's clothes.

1:19:57.640 --> 1:19:59.080
<v Speaker 1>Peter Parker's body.

1:20:00.760 --> 1:20:03.479
<v Speaker 3>It does kind of objectifying him, which actually is like

1:20:04.000 --> 1:20:05.240
<v Speaker 3>that's what we should be doing.

1:20:05.560 --> 1:20:07.920
<v Speaker 1>It is it is nuts to me that this could

1:20:07.920 --> 1:20:12.439
<v Speaker 1>be that is so like progressive fails this very easy

1:20:12.520 --> 1:20:14.479
<v Speaker 1>metrics and this is not what the kind of movie

1:20:14.520 --> 1:20:16.280
<v Speaker 1>where you're like, well, but like in this case, I

1:20:16.320 --> 1:20:18.639
<v Speaker 1>don't think the Bechdel test is a flawed metric at all.

1:20:19.240 --> 1:20:20.760
<v Speaker 1>We have a lot and I think that that does

1:20:20.880 --> 1:20:24.920
<v Speaker 1>speak to how underdeveloped some of these female characters are, right,

1:20:24.920 --> 1:20:27.639
<v Speaker 1>and how one dimensional they are, and how they're I mean,

1:20:27.840 --> 1:20:29.800
<v Speaker 1>I feel like the main thing with Bechtel, with the

1:20:29.800 --> 1:20:32.479
<v Speaker 1>Bechtel test is that it really if it doesn't pass,

1:20:32.520 --> 1:20:35.679
<v Speaker 1>it identifies how a movie is using its female characters.

1:20:35.720 --> 1:20:38.600
<v Speaker 1>It's either that they're not there, like Star Wars the

1:20:38.720 --> 1:20:41.720
<v Speaker 1>first one, or it's if you have a lot of

1:20:41.760 --> 1:20:43.760
<v Speaker 1>women and it's still not passing the Bechdel test, then

1:20:43.800 --> 1:20:46.479
<v Speaker 1>they probably only exist in relation to the male characters,

1:20:46.680 --> 1:20:49.280
<v Speaker 1>or they're tokenized. And I think that that is kind

1:20:49.280 --> 1:20:53.040
<v Speaker 1>of how this movie works, where Gwen and doc Oc

1:20:53.160 --> 1:20:57.880
<v Speaker 1>are active characters that are within most scenes with them

1:20:58.479 --> 1:21:02.519
<v Speaker 1>the only woman present yea, or there's a lot of

1:21:02.640 --> 1:21:05.240
<v Speaker 1>women who exist only in relation to men. You've got

1:21:05.400 --> 1:21:10.360
<v Speaker 1>miles of Mom, You've got Fisks, his wife, You've got

1:21:11.080 --> 1:21:13.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't really know where Penny Parker.

1:21:13.400 --> 1:21:15.400
<v Speaker 3>I mean, she's just we just don't really know anything

1:21:15.400 --> 1:21:19.320
<v Speaker 3>about her, right, you would think she and Gwen would

1:21:19.360 --> 1:21:21.920
<v Speaker 3>at least have some small exchange. I mean, they're all

1:21:22.000 --> 1:21:24.840
<v Speaker 3>working together toward the same goal. And then you would

1:21:24.840 --> 1:21:27.280
<v Speaker 3>also think that Aunt May and like, at least Gwen

1:21:27.840 --> 1:21:31.479
<v Speaker 3>would talk a little bit more, or May and or I.

1:21:31.479 --> 1:21:33.760
<v Speaker 1>Mean Parker gwent Yeah, because it's like Gwen. I think

1:21:33.960 --> 1:21:36.800
<v Speaker 1>Gwen and Aunt May. That is like the scene where

1:21:36.920 --> 1:21:38.839
<v Speaker 1>two women are in the same scene for the longest

1:21:39.360 --> 1:21:41.519
<v Speaker 1>and not fighting, so that there's plausible there'd be some

1:21:41.640 --> 1:21:46.000
<v Speaker 1>dialogue between them. Yeah, and it just simply doesn't happen. Also,

1:21:46.320 --> 1:21:51.320
<v Speaker 1>there if you run the numbies on this progressive movie,

1:21:51.400 --> 1:21:54.800
<v Speaker 1>only twenty one percent of cast and crew members were

1:21:54.880 --> 1:21:58.759
<v Speaker 1>women and eleven percent of key cast and crew members

1:21:58.880 --> 1:21:59.679
<v Speaker 1>were people of color.

1:22:00.200 --> 1:22:05.400
<v Speaker 3>Shit shit indeed, Well it goes to show that we

1:22:05.560 --> 1:22:07.800
<v Speaker 3>still have a lot of work to do. Yeah.

1:22:08.880 --> 1:22:12.920
<v Speaker 1>I do encourage our listeners and and us because sometimes

1:22:13.000 --> 1:22:15.240
<v Speaker 1>I think we slip on this to also be looking

1:22:15.280 --> 1:22:18.560
<v Speaker 1>at who is behind the camera because this movie is

1:22:18.720 --> 1:22:22.560
<v Speaker 1>a very male dominated production crew and very white dominated

1:22:22.600 --> 1:22:26.840
<v Speaker 1>production crew, and the cast is fairly diverse, but behind

1:22:26.880 --> 1:22:31.080
<v Speaker 1>the scenes not much diversity. You got Amy Pascal and

1:22:31.200 --> 1:22:37.840
<v Speaker 1>her emails which identify as female, so unfortunately there are

1:22:37.960 --> 1:22:39.960
<v Speaker 1>still not a lot of people of color or women

1:22:40.560 --> 1:22:43.519
<v Speaker 1>in key roles. This is still majority white guys. It

1:22:43.600 --> 1:22:46.040
<v Speaker 1>should be said that the movie is directed by three dudes.

1:22:46.520 --> 1:22:49.720
<v Speaker 1>One of the directors, Peter Ramsey, is a black man,

1:22:49.840 --> 1:22:52.680
<v Speaker 1>and also it was the first black director to ever

1:22:52.760 --> 1:22:54.799
<v Speaker 1>be nominated for Best Animated Feature.

1:22:55.000 --> 1:22:56.080
<v Speaker 3>Oh cool, which is really cool.

1:22:56.240 --> 1:23:00.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but you know, percentage wise still pretty I mean,

1:23:00.560 --> 1:23:03.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm kind of like, that's pretty abysmallybaut eleven percent people

1:23:03.960 --> 1:23:09.360
<v Speaker 1>of color, especially in this in the first like Avro

1:23:09.479 --> 1:23:16.080
<v Speaker 1>Lutino s Spider Man Kurt, like eleven percent. It's shit higher, yeah,

1:23:16.080 --> 1:23:16.400
<v Speaker 1>I think.

1:23:17.000 --> 1:23:21.560
<v Speaker 3>And hello, it's Caitlin and Jamie from the Future.

1:23:22.600 --> 1:23:24.280
<v Speaker 5>We've learned so much.

1:23:26.080 --> 1:23:30.960
<v Speaker 3>So we wanted to redo our nipple ratings for this

1:23:31.600 --> 1:23:37.320
<v Speaker 3>movie because again, we've we've grown, we've learned, and when

1:23:37.360 --> 1:23:41.120
<v Speaker 3>we originally gave the nipple rating for this movie, it

1:23:41.320 --> 1:23:45.040
<v Speaker 3>was before we were taking like a more fully intersectional

1:23:45.600 --> 1:23:50.439
<v Speaker 3>approach to the nipple rating. So I would like to

1:23:51.280 --> 1:23:54.280
<v Speaker 3>amend the ratings that we gave.

1:23:54.320 --> 1:23:58.720
<v Speaker 5>And I wouldn't, but fine, no, I, I uh yes,

1:23:58.840 --> 1:24:00.320
<v Speaker 5>this this is the right thing to do.

1:24:00.400 --> 1:24:01.240
<v Speaker 1>And also it's just.

1:24:02.439 --> 1:24:06.480
<v Speaker 5>Another time to write about the Spider Verse because it comes.

1:24:06.280 --> 1:24:11.960
<v Speaker 3>Out so soon, Yes, indeed, and so we are here

1:24:12.040 --> 1:24:15.479
<v Speaker 3>to give our updated nipple ratings. The Nipple scale, of

1:24:15.560 --> 1:24:20.680
<v Speaker 3>course being our perfect, amazing, incredible metric.

1:24:20.680 --> 1:24:24.000
<v Speaker 5>Iconic nothing like it, never done before, won't be done.

1:24:23.800 --> 1:24:28.080
<v Speaker 3>Again truly, and it works like this. We rate on

1:24:28.240 --> 1:24:31.960
<v Speaker 3>a scale of zero to five nipples based on looking

1:24:32.360 --> 1:24:38.880
<v Speaker 3>at the movie through an intersectional feminist lens. As such. Again,

1:24:38.960 --> 1:24:41.160
<v Speaker 3>I deeply love this movie. It is one of my

1:24:41.200 --> 1:24:44.960
<v Speaker 3>favorites of all time. It has so much going for it.

1:24:45.560 --> 1:24:49.439
<v Speaker 3>Superhero movies are usually like the most popular and highest

1:24:49.560 --> 1:24:52.720
<v Speaker 3>grossing movies that come out in any year, but they

1:24:52.800 --> 1:24:58.280
<v Speaker 3>still so often center whiteness and center men, and it's still.

1:24:58.200 --> 1:25:00.720
<v Speaker 5>Like very much out of the norm. That not to

1:25:00.840 --> 1:25:03.280
<v Speaker 5>be the case, which is not the fault of this movie.

1:25:03.320 --> 1:25:06.160
<v Speaker 5>But I remember the original conversation around this movie being.

1:25:06.160 --> 1:25:10.160
<v Speaker 4>Like, wow, can you imagine, And at the time many

1:25:10.240 --> 1:25:12.400
<v Speaker 4>people could not, which is depressing.

1:25:13.280 --> 1:25:15.920
<v Speaker 3>And before this movie came out, I remember there was

1:25:16.320 --> 1:25:18.960
<v Speaker 3>a lot of discourse about like, can we have a

1:25:19.080 --> 1:25:24.200
<v Speaker 3>black Spider Man? And Donald Glover was in the running,

1:25:24.479 --> 1:25:29.120
<v Speaker 3>and then that didn't happen, to the upset of many people.

1:25:29.520 --> 1:25:35.360
<v Speaker 3>But studios are cowards and they didn't do it anyway.

1:25:35.720 --> 1:25:39.560
<v Speaker 3>So this movie coming out in twenty eighteen felt like

1:25:39.640 --> 1:25:43.920
<v Speaker 3>a big win at the time, and it still feels

1:25:44.800 --> 1:25:48.120
<v Speaker 3>like a big win. And I love it, and I

1:25:49.800 --> 1:25:55.240
<v Speaker 3>hope to see more diversity in obviously all movies, including

1:25:55.960 --> 1:26:01.759
<v Speaker 3>super hero movies. It is is a story about fathers

1:26:01.840 --> 1:26:06.720
<v Speaker 3>and sons, but not against Yeah, it's not against the law.

1:26:06.880 --> 1:26:09.519
<v Speaker 3>Just because it happens every single day doesn't mean it's

1:26:09.560 --> 1:26:13.160
<v Speaker 3>always a bad thing. And what I appreciate about this

1:26:13.280 --> 1:26:16.760
<v Speaker 3>one is that the main arc of the like father

1:26:17.040 --> 1:26:22.000
<v Speaker 3>son subplot is two male characters needing to learn to

1:26:22.600 --> 1:26:26.560
<v Speaker 3>open up and express their emotions to each other and

1:26:26.680 --> 1:26:31.879
<v Speaker 3>to show affection and vulnerability with each other. They obviously

1:26:32.160 --> 1:26:36.080
<v Speaker 3>still have a ways to go on that journey, but

1:26:36.600 --> 1:26:41.160
<v Speaker 3>it's nice to see that dynamic explored in a father

1:26:41.360 --> 1:26:42.800
<v Speaker 3>son relationship.

1:26:43.000 --> 1:26:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and I also likeciated that.

1:26:44.720 --> 1:26:47.639
<v Speaker 4>I also like that by the end of the movie,

1:26:47.840 --> 1:26:50.640
<v Speaker 4>like their relationship is it isn't like Movie five of like,

1:26:51.160 --> 1:26:54.040
<v Speaker 4>and their relationship is totally repaired and everything will be

1:26:54.200 --> 1:26:57.240
<v Speaker 4>great from here on out. Like it's incremental and I'm

1:26:57.280 --> 1:26:59.960
<v Speaker 4>excited to see how that you know what motion is

1:27:00.280 --> 1:27:02.920
<v Speaker 4>in future installments.

1:27:02.800 --> 1:27:06.599
<v Speaker 3>Right, And it seems based on the trailers. Again, at

1:27:06.600 --> 1:27:08.639
<v Speaker 3>the time of this recording, we have not yet seen

1:27:08.760 --> 1:27:12.280
<v Speaker 3>across the Spider Verse, but it seems to get getting

1:27:12.280 --> 1:27:16.360
<v Speaker 3>great reviews. It seems like women do play a more

1:27:16.479 --> 1:27:20.040
<v Speaker 3>integral and active role in this movie. Based on the trailers,

1:27:20.080 --> 1:27:21.920
<v Speaker 3>it feels like there might be more of a focus

1:27:22.080 --> 1:27:26.960
<v Speaker 3>on Miles's relationship with his mother yay, which is one

1:27:27.000 --> 1:27:27.840
<v Speaker 3>of the gripes.

1:27:28.200 --> 1:27:30.719
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, your number one criticism of this movie.

1:27:31.000 --> 1:27:37.479
<v Speaker 3>Yes, so that's exciting. Seems like we get even more

1:27:38.439 --> 1:27:44.000
<v Speaker 3>female Spider people in this one, Spider Women. Seems like

1:27:44.080 --> 1:27:47.000
<v Speaker 3>you get more female villains in this So it just

1:27:47.120 --> 1:27:50.880
<v Speaker 3>feels like women are more meaningfully included in this movie

1:27:51.120 --> 1:27:55.599
<v Speaker 3>that's coming out. I'm excited. But all of this in mind,

1:27:56.160 --> 1:27:59.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to give the movie four nipples, which is

1:27:59.040 --> 1:28:03.960
<v Speaker 3>a pretty significant bump from what I had given it originally.

1:28:04.800 --> 1:28:08.600
<v Speaker 3>Maybe it's just because this movie keeps growing on me.

1:28:09.479 --> 1:28:12.960
<v Speaker 3>It's not perfect. There are some as we discussed, there

1:28:12.960 --> 1:28:15.360
<v Speaker 3>are some things, but it's nice to see that.

1:28:15.520 --> 1:28:17.639
<v Speaker 4>I mean, and again we haven't seen it, but yeah,

1:28:17.680 --> 1:28:19.960
<v Speaker 4>I noticed that as well, where it seems like the

1:28:20.120 --> 1:28:24.280
<v Speaker 4>franchise is becoming even more inclusive as it continues, and

1:28:25.160 --> 1:28:26.600
<v Speaker 4>I'm excited about that.

1:28:27.280 --> 1:28:28.320
<v Speaker 1>Who are you giving you nipples to?

1:28:29.200 --> 1:28:35.320
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna spread my nipples out between Miles, his mom, Spider,

1:28:35.400 --> 1:28:41.360
<v Speaker 3>Gwen and you know what, Spider Ham. Wow, it's a nipple.

1:28:41.800 --> 1:28:42.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, iconic.

1:28:45.560 --> 1:28:48.720
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna I'll meet you at four and I'll leave it. Yeah,

1:28:48.720 --> 1:28:50.840
<v Speaker 4>I'll meet you at four because I do. I mean,

1:28:51.120 --> 1:28:53.800
<v Speaker 4>I was revisiting this episode as well, and you know,

1:28:53.960 --> 1:28:58.400
<v Speaker 4>points were made. I think that this movie's great strength

1:28:58.479 --> 1:29:02.040
<v Speaker 4>is it's a beautiful, beautiful coming of age story that's inclusive.

1:29:02.560 --> 1:29:04.680
<v Speaker 4>It is like, this has nothing to do with the

1:29:04.760 --> 1:29:07.200
<v Speaker 4>nipple scale, but it's like one of the most beautiful

1:29:07.360 --> 1:29:12.600
<v Speaker 4>animated movies ever made, truly, and I just love it

1:29:12.880 --> 1:29:15.599
<v Speaker 4>very very much, and I think you put it very beautifully.

1:29:15.680 --> 1:29:17.439
<v Speaker 4>I think the only other thing I would want to

1:29:17.600 --> 1:29:21.120
<v Speaker 4>point out is behind the scenes stuff, and I know

1:29:21.200 --> 1:29:23.559
<v Speaker 4>we talked about this in the original episode. I think

1:29:23.560 --> 1:29:26.439
<v Speaker 4>there was more room for inclusivity behind the scenes this movie.

1:29:27.240 --> 1:29:29.719
<v Speaker 4>There are a lot of white guys behind the scenes,

1:29:29.840 --> 1:29:35.320
<v Speaker 4>and it's very heavily men. And I actually I haven't

1:29:35.360 --> 1:29:36.880
<v Speaker 4>checked out. I know that there's a new crop of

1:29:37.000 --> 1:29:38.320
<v Speaker 4>directors for this.

1:29:39.200 --> 1:29:41.679
<v Speaker 5>Next installment, I think because directing one of these movies

1:29:41.760 --> 1:29:42.640
<v Speaker 5>basically kills you.

1:29:43.760 --> 1:29:43.960
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

1:29:44.680 --> 1:29:49.280
<v Speaker 4>But and so I haven't looked into that. And I'm

1:29:49.360 --> 1:29:52.320
<v Speaker 4>I guess, I guess, I suppose I'm excited about it.

1:29:52.800 --> 1:29:55.800
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, whatever, No, but I really this movie

1:29:56.000 --> 1:29:57.400
<v Speaker 4>is so beautiful.

1:29:57.080 --> 1:30:01.360
<v Speaker 5>And as we now know, extremely re watchable, and I

1:30:01.439 --> 1:30:01.920
<v Speaker 5>think it's.

1:30:01.920 --> 1:30:06.880
<v Speaker 4>Just like a great introduction to superhero movies for kids

1:30:07.920 --> 1:30:09.760
<v Speaker 4>for sure. Yeah, I'm so excited for the new one.
