Join us as Luis and Ric swing into the latest chapter of Spider-Man on the big screen with a spoiler-filled discussion of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. They look back at their own history with Spider-Man and how they were first introduced to the character before talking about what, if anything, they did to prepare for the new movie.
They also talk about trying to avoid spoilers leading up to seeing the film, their theater experiences and audience reactions, and their overall impressions of Brand New Day. From there, the conversation turns to the characters and performances that stood out, favorite moments and scenes, surprises along the way, and what worked—or didn’t work—for each of them.
Finally, Luis and Ric look at where Brand New Day leaves Spider-Man, where the story could go from here, and what they would like to see next. Then they wrap things up with a look at what they’ve been watching recently.
