About this episode

Everybody's favorite half-boy/half-spider is back in theaters and we're talkin' about him! And not just the new movie, either (no spoilers until the end, with fair warning). We're also talking about the Spiderverse, and the 6000 other Spider-Man movies that came out in the last 20 years too. And of course, what discussion of Spider-Man would be complete without a lot of mentions of the seminal, character-defining Broadway musical, Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark?
