Ep1245: Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026) - Live Movie Review
It's a Brand New Day for Spider-Man--and Kicking the Seat!
In a world where everyone has forgotten that Peter Parker is Spider-Man (and in which Peter Parker doesn't technically exist), the wall-crawling web-slinger finds himself immune to a sinister new force that can take control of people's minds! Throw in a series of inconvenient body changes, a Hulk, a Punisher, and unrequited love--and you've got a recipe for the year's biggest blockbuster!
Is this the antidote to "superhero fatigue" fans have been clamoring for? Or is it the same ol' Spidey repackaged in recency bias?
Join Ian and Jeff for a clash of opinions you won't find anywhere else! We'll also take questions and comments in the chat, and pay tribute to Earth's Mightiest Critics!
