Tread Lightly

Hello and welcome fellow Marvel fans to the Snark

Industries podcast. I'm John. And I'm Remy. And

we invite you to join us as we work our way through

every Marvel TV show, movie, and crossover. Meaning

if there's a Marvel character on screen, it's

fair game. All categorized in the temporal order

of their setting. By the time we're done, we'll

have built a complete start to finish timeline

of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. To accomplish

this goal and to have a bit of fun along the

way, each episode will be split into two parts.

The watch party and the deep dive. If you're

hearing this, you found one of our watch parties.

This is where we sit down with you and experience

a piece of Marvel media together in real time,

celebrating the high points and poking fun at

the low ones, because that's what heroes do.

To get synced up, here's what you'll need to

do. Pull up the movie or episode on your screen

and pause it right as the Marvel logo is prominently

displayed. Then come back here and wait for the

three -tone countdown. On the third tone, press

play, and just like that, we'll be watching together.

Quick note, if your version includes ads, you'll

need to pause us during those breaks to stay

in sync. Once you finish watching along, we encourage

everyone to check out the deep dive as well,

where we will do an in -depth analysis of the

information we just consumed. Most importantly,

we want to thank each and every one of you for

joining us on this incredible journey. We're

not affiliated with Marvel in any way, shape,

or form. We're just fans who are passionate about

these stories and these characters and wish to

share them with everyone in a new and exciting

way. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy this episode

of Stark Industries. Yeah. In case you forgot

from the last time we did this. Addison. Bulletproof

Addison is what they call him. No, wait. No,

that's not him. No, he ate those bullets pretty

good. Yeah. I had to say that again. Starting

things off upset as I was last time. Great. We'd

love to see that. Oh, we didn't see the dead

guy's toe yet. That's true. They were only going

to hit me with the old one, two punch. That's

what they needed to do. That was good timing.

The one, two punch handed right when he. That's

showbiz, baby. That's right. That's right. Look

at that shiner. And just like that, I'm back

in the business. Keep trying to get out. They

keep pulling me back in. Here's my Tommy gun.

Oh, hey. Plug. A plug. This is his origin story.

Maybe. I feel like something's going to happen

to this. Oh, there it is. That's a origin story.

Oh, man. Wow. She is so sad. She's something.

A sad man. Hasn't worked on the branding yet.

They missed an opportunity to say that just then

that it would have been awesome. Hollywood writers,

call me. Yeah. I hate saying it. It's coarse

and gritty. It gets everywhere. Oh, man, you

made that joke last episode. I'm going to do

it every time. Oh, good. Okay. I just wanted

to make sure I was prepared for it. Yeah. I think

she is. Yeah, her hat's sitting cocky side on

her head. You know that's a sign. It is. I bet

she's got lots of pins in there to hold that

thing in place. Same time. Oh, my. All the fun

ones do. Her hat's way too small for her head

and it's upsetting me. So many things upset you.

That's true. I'm an easily upsetable guy. Nope.

Fix that little handle. Yeah. I like the little

music. This is very Fallout. Ah, yeah. Man, what

was the point of fixing the cup if you're just

gonna... Listen, some people are perfectionists.

I don't know why he's nervous. He's not like,

that guy's insane. Wow. Wow. That's a lot of

backtalk from a guy that just kills folks randomly.

Peacocking. I like his little robe. Give me one

of those. His little rope? His robe. Oh, I thought

you said rope. Got it. Yes, me too. Quite the

robe. It's my first time speaking English. Yeah,

yeah. You're doing pretty good. Yeah. Well, I

imagine so. Yeah, yeah. You would too if you

were turning to sand. Yeah. The sand monster.

Yeah, sand monster. New branding. See his hat's

on straight. Yeah. I don't trust him. Yeah. Yeah.

No, here we go. Yeah. Yeah. This, uh, this song

feels like something that would have been in,

uh, uh, what is that? That league of legends?

Uh, arcane. Uh, yeah, I could see that very arcane

vibe to it. We're just plugging everybody. That

dude. That dude's half spider face makes me makes

me uncomfortable. I bet they're going to call

him a spider monster. Probably. Where is the

spider? Being grumpy upstairs somewhere. Yeah,

right. Yeah, they need to have him in here. Cameo,

if nothing else. I mean, it looks like we're

getting electro. This is a cool intro. Yeah,

yeah, I dig it. Yeah. Yavo. Mucho gusto. See

again. Yeah. Robbie is the reason you watch this

in color. Yeah. Yeah. All the black and white

crowd. You're really missing something cool here

with this man and his ties. Although I really

do look forward to watching this in black and

white. Yeah. Is that in a cupboard? It looked

like it. I'm not worried so much about the ketchup,

but I also thought there was milk in there. No,

it's the milk. Yeah, it's the milk I'd be concerned

about. I may just eat a ketchup sandwich. I'm

out. I'm done. Turn it off. Hey, you know, look,

look, when you don't have any money and you got

ketchup and you got bread. I can sell one of

those ties and afford something more than a ketchup

sandwich. That's probably true. Oh, we're going

to get Jameson now. That'd be pretty cool. That

would be pretty cool. Premonition. Spider sense.

Nailed it. Right. Bintingle. Yeah. Yeah. The

Bintingle. He's not had it yet. That was the

Remy Tingle. I still don't like it. I don't like

that anymore. That is a hell of a shiner. Yeah,

well, he got punched by a sand monster. That's

true, that's true. All those other drawers were

just casually empty. A clue. Oh, well. There

it is. Yeah. There's the Bintingle. That whole

platoon get blessed with powers. Is that does

that work together? I mean, blessed is a word

we're using. Yeah. I mean, fair enough. It doesn't

seem like Flint's having a great time with it.

No. But once he gets kind of things under control,

yeah, he's not there yet. Just hold tight. Buckle

up. Look how much shorter that guy is. Huh? That

is an insane height difference. His hat just

casually wet. Yeah. Was it raining outside? I

wasn't paying attention. Oh, no, there's a hat

ring right there. But not a hat. Yeah. Not sure

that that's better. The cool thing about sight

is if we could see him, he can see you. Eh, not

in the dark. Doesn't always work like that. Oh,

it's working like that. Mm -hmm. Oh, it is raining.

Look. Look at the corner. Yeah, yeah. Why is

just his hat wet then? Um, I got nothing. Yeah.

That hat has got such a big brim, we can't really

tell, but it's actually shielding his entire

body from the rest of the rain. Yeah. Yeah. Meanwhile,

she's got two small hat and a hot dog, apparently.

It's like I tried, but they keep pulling me back

in. Mr. Michael. Wow. Bribery. Nice to see it

in full force. No, no. She found it outside and

she was returning it just in case. So he's a

bad guy. Just because he's a bad guy doesn't

mean he's a bad guy. A million. Feels like an

exaggeration. Yeah. Ben's no good at counting.

A spider, not the counter. I'm wondering why

they changed the name from the black cat. That'd

have been a fun nod. Yeah, I don't know. I just

work here. No, he's doing that weird, like, borderline

orgasm from just listening to her do music. Oh,

no. The big tingle's really firing off right

now, I'll tell you. Oh, God, no. Oh, the bin

tingle means so many things. Yeah, it does. It's

a versatile tingle, I'll tell you. Ken, I can't

get over his voice. Murder. I know. Dramatic.

Everyone's winning. Mm -hmm. Except for the dead

ones. Oh, he wants what you give him. Oh, he

is. Yes. Butt touch. He wants it. Oh. I'm Dick

and Harry. That's a hilarious way to say something

just now. Nick Cage. Yeah. That was so Nick Cage

just now. It was, yeah. Because I'm broke. Yeah.

Good one. Also, the thing I said. I think I think

yours is better. Yeah. Yeah. Careful, you tend

to mud. Is that him? Oh, yeah. And look, he looked

different, but I guess it's because his face

is half covered with sand. Sure, sure. I was

like, that doesn't look like he's got a beard.

But no, it's just a sandy face. You could actually

see pieces of sand and mud rolling down a little

bit. Yeah, that's kind of cool. Kind of gross.

We're so cool saying the same things. Yeah, yeah,

yeah. Okay. Wow. Oh, man. That's amazing. That

was hilarious. Oh, so unexpected. Yeah. I mean,

are we to assume his reflexes just aren't super

reliable or is he's choosing to get beat up?

That's my assumption. He must be because he should

be able to handle these guys readily. Retired

or not, he still has spidey senses. Yeah, well,

they just worked. He dodged the first punch when

he walked in. You don't know nothing, huh? His

voice is very deep. Yeah, this is how you know

that I'm an enforcer. Just like Donk. Oh, tuck

and roll. All right, he's fine. Physics. Oh,

man. Where'd he go? Yes. Yes. Nailed it. Nailed

it. See, Ruby Tingle worked again. Oh, man. Wow.

Could you make him any more of a meathead? Oh,

my God. Screw the people in Talamazoo, huh? Yeah,

bump them. Hey, there's the hot dog. See, I knew

it. Oh, yeah, yeah. Nailed it. That's the name

of the episode. Yeah. Well, he also ate a bite

of food and this kept talking. Yeah. I can't

with this guy. What are we doing? He's peeling

his hot dog like a banana. I'm really trying

to figure it out, too. Who does this? Yeah. No,

no one on Earth has ever eaten a hot dog like

that before him just now. Never go hungry again.

In prohibition. This is great. I mean, you want

votes. There you go. Yeah. Do you guys want your

alcohol bag? Vote for me. You have him to thank.

That's true. How different my life would have

been if that guy right there. I'm upset that

there's so many mannequins around them. Yeah,

yeah. I feel like this buddy of his is a bit

dirty. Well, yeah. Wow. I wonder how he feels

about women's suffrage. I think he just told

us. Someone ask this man real quick. This man

and his suits. I dig it. And he's walking through.

I don't know what the name of this area is. Yeah.

Something weird, I'm sure. Just casually. Wow.

She just lives in a lean to in the boroughs.

That's rough. It's tough out in the streets.

Mm -hmm. She's got a can of beans right there.

Better than the ketchup sandwich. Yeah, she's

living better than he is. It's all them suits.

Yeah, spit all your money in your... Oh, wow.

That's a big man. That is a... You had ketchup

sandwich for lunch. We're not brothers. He's

like, I got beans coming. That's a rough way

to find out. Oh, his nails match his suit. Excuse

me? His nails match his suit. I don't think they're

painted. They really look like it. Or maybe his

suit is just nail colored. Yeah, maybe. He didn't

like the people being all rich. Well, that's

why I'm here. Kicking down doors ain't like you're

going to kill somebody. Not want to be my brother.

Just because I had a ketchup sandwich. Yeah,

it doesn't look like any other angle. It was

just that one angle. It looks like his nails

were painted, so I guess it was just a weird

coloration. Yeah, must have been the light. That's

bizarre. Oh! My memory's jogged. Yeah, that's

not... She should have saved that extra hot dog

for that guy. He's got a black eye. They have

to have busted up noses. Not this time. Why are

you still here? Right. You don't know what crossing

the river sticks means? Well, American education

system. Yeah, phrasing. Forever. Yeah, that's

fair. Totally. Yeah. Totally fair. I'm with her.

She's making the right move here. Mm hmm. Mm

hmm. Probably should have made it a while ago.

Yeah. Yeah. Sad spider. Oh, man. Knock with a

mop. He left his mop. Yeah, right? Look at that

toilet. Matches the bathtub. It does. Oh, well,

boy, where's the light coming from? Like, why

is there so much light coming out of that wall?

It's a very bright room on the other end of that

hole. It feels like he could have gotten up on

the roof and like flipped it out or something

with that much light. Oh, he's getting this.

Yeah, I figured it out what he's doing. He's

getting a suit. Oh, yeah, but. But yeah, where

the lights coming from? I don't know why he's

not going to hold those four people's wall. I

also don't know. Right. You couldn't just went

and got another one from somewhere. Ben, you

had to go in here and ruin these people's whole

lives. Look, she gave him. Yeah. Married an idiot.

I don't know why you open the window. You could

just gone through the wall. Just because you

orange doesn't mean you're stoplight. Well, between

yellow and red. Yeah, I see what you did there.

Well, that's why you're eating ketchup sandwiches.

You're giving all the dollars to that guy. Just

about to say like a dollar in this wasn't worth

it. That hurt my foot. Yeah. Yeah. Like I reinforce

those souls. Whoa. That's a figure. He's, he's

not got a, not a bad point. A little pointed,

but not a bad point. Is that a line? Yeah, that's

right. He's right. Her jacket's very furry. Yeah.

You're walking around New York City with a billion

dollars in a suitcase. You don't know her. Why

are you just sharing a cigarette? That's how

you get cooties. They didn't know about cooties

yet. Why are you talking like that? Try to do

some open mouth kissing too. Ah, see, I bet that

transition was cool in black and white. Oh. Baby

Jesus. Oh, no. Totally different version. Slightly

different. Yeah. It's a sand monster. We got

a little sandier. Yeah. That chair is putting

in a lot of heavy lifting there. Yes, it is.

Oh. I wonder if like certain body parts are still

sandy and others aren't, you know what I mean?

I don't want to know the answers to those questions.

Be part of the group, too. I think that was the

big dude in the front of the. Yeah, there was.

So there was one big dude there. Yeah, I think

that was him. So I'm wondering, have we heard

his name yet? I don't think so. I'm so worried

about that guy's fingernails in that one scene

that I didn't didn't catch all the details. Imagine

having to go to a pay phone to call people. Oh,

I've done it, dude. It sucks. I have to. Yeah.

Yeah. Seems so ancient now. Why aren't their

noses all busted up? They've got magic bad guy

powers. Wow. I mean, Ben's had that shiner for

like a week. Yeah. Well, he keeps getting punched.

That's true. It's repetitive. Yeah, he's got

a repetitive stress injury. Oh, there's the Tommy

gun. Yeah, let's go. Oh, man. Oh, you're not

going to use it. Shoot her. Glad his webs work

again. What was that all about? I think it was

a purposeful pulling back on. So like as a reflex,

he stopped himself on. That's how I took it.

He's like, oh, I don't want to show these guys.

I'm Spider -Man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, that's

a good way to block him. Clever, clever. I'm

ready to leave that dreading once we totally

got air forever. I won't be able to say that

anymore. Oh, man. That dude. Wow. Oh, man. Beat

by a radio. Hit it with a radio, yeah. No, no.

Nope. Oh, man. You better hope they didn't register

that. Then they'd know it's him. Right. What's

he doing? The Batman voice. I mean, where are

the drugs going? He's really not even changing

his voice. He just can't talk through that mask.

Oh, no, there's there's there's about one degree

deeper here. I'm sensitive. Yeah, for sure. Fair

enough. Fair enough. It's so recognizable, though.

Yeah, it is. Oh, man. Anyone who's ever talked

to Ben Reilly knows that that's him. There's

no way they don't. Right. You're the only person

on Earth that sounds like this. Oh, boy. Must

be so hot in those masks. Yeah. The good thing

about it is once he takes his hat and mask off,

he just looks like a normal guy. Yeah, no hat

hair or anything. It's pretty good. Well, I guess

it's pretty hat hairy. I mean, the rest of his

costume is just a jacket. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah,

because of you. Oh, man. Yeah, you go there trying

to get fresh for the first time in how many ever

years and you stop the man from getting arrested,

probably. Oh, man. That's good. I remember my

first time being a superhero. Oh, boy. He's like,

bite me. Yeah. Put me out of my misery. I need

to rejuice all the powers. Give me a little bump.

That's a fine question, Ben. Yeah. Oh, man. Wow.

but we'll explore that question and more in the

deep dive. Thank you for joining us in this episode

of the snark industries podcast to join the conversation

and further explore the Marvel cinematic universe

with us. Head on over to snark industries, pod

.com. The link will be in the show notes, but

with that, we will see you in the next adventure.

Hello and welcome, fellow Marvel fans, to the

Snark Industries podcast. I'm John. And I'm Remy.

And we invite you to join us as we work our way

through every Marvel TV show, movie, and crossover.

Meaning if there's a Marvel character on screen,

it's fair game. All categorized in the temporal

order of their setting. By the time we're done,

we'll have built a complete start -to -finish

timeline of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe.

To accomplish this goal and to have a bit of

fun along the way, each episode will be split

into two parts, a watch party and a deep dive.

If you're hearing this, you found one of our

deep dives. This is where we slow things down

and take a more pragmatic, in -depth look at

a piece of Marvel media. We'll walk through the

full plot, explore connections to the wider MCU

and Marvel comics, highlight Easter eggs, unpack

lore, and of course, give you our own personal

thoughts and feelings. Although this episode

stands on its own, it is designed to complement

the watch party. So, if you haven't watched along

with us yet, we highly recommend starting there

first and coming back here for the full breakdown.

Most importantly, we want to thank each and every

one of you for joining us on this incredible

journey. We're not affiliated with Marvel in

any way, shape, or form. We're just fans who

are passionate about these stories and these

characters and wish to share them with everyone

in a new and exciting way. So, sit back, relax,

and enjoy this episode of Snark Industries. Hello,

ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Snark Industries.

We just got done watching Spider Noir Season

1, Episode 2. Tread lightly. John, what was that

about? All right. So we have a direct continuation

of episode one, which I like for shows. We haven't

had a lot of that thus far. But the story continues

as Kat Hardy is hired, Ben, to investigate Flint,

a .k .a. we know as Sandman's disappearance.

Sandmonster. The Sandmonster. Correct. Yeah,

that's a fun plug for the Watch Party crew. Yeah.

The Sandmonster, Flint Marco. who went missing

after the events of episode one. So not a lot

to go on, but ultimately, Ben, with the encouragement

of Janet, his secretary, takes the case and they

go and try to search Flint's apartment to try

to find out any sort of information on it. And

there's not much to go on there, minus one picture

that looks like a sort of platoon photo that

showed Flint as well as The enhanced person from

the first episode, Jimmy Addison, the pyrokinetic

that ultimately was killed by the other PI that

was investigating him back in episode one. So

they are serving as soldiers in this platoon

together. So somehow there is a tie in here and

it's certainly not lost on me. And we discussed

when we were watching it live that. Also could

be some tie -ins to these enhanced, these powered

people as well, somehow from this platoon that

we'll learn about later. I don't know, but we're

going to find out as we go along. So a little

bit to go on. Ben goes in a closet and hides

as some of Silvermane's goons comes in and tries

to do the same thing. So obviously they're also

kind of on the same track of following this story

as it unfolds with these different characters

that we're sort of like highlighting in the episodes.

And so things kind of continue on from there.

We have Robbie, who is kind of looking into things

as well, who sort of goes into the slums, figures

out kind of where Addison was staying there,

and is kind of searching around looking for somebody

who can give him some information, his wife or

something like that, which he learned about through

information that Janet got by bribing a police

officer with, I'm assuming, a hot dog. They never

showed what was in that bag. That's my headcanon,

is that was a sack full of dogs. So, he's there

looking. I mean, you see, like, burned, scorched

handprints in the different furniture inside,

which I thought was kind of neat. You know, showing

this sort of troubled guy that's also kind of

having this same struggle that we see with Marco,

actually, with not being able to control these

powers. You kind of see that as he's literally

burning his own place there, albeit in the slums.

There he is, encountered. While he's looking

around that room by a mammoth of a man who, at

least for now, remains nameless. But we did notice

we were looking that he was also in that wartime

picture. So perhaps he's got some part to come

in the future, but it's not really expanded upon,

at least as of yet, who at first is going to,

you know, beat Robbie into a bloody pulp. But

ultimately, with some some good charisma and

talking about ultimately that he's on his side

shows that he was friends. And did know Addison

there in that conversation and points him towards

where he thinks that the late Addison's wife

would be saying that anytime they come into money,

she goes to a hotel and splurges on everything.

Treat yourself. All right, I get it. So she is

there. Robbie goes there, does indeed find her

and sort of talks to her about kind of everything

that's happening. Ultimately, then we have. Ben,

who, through his investigation, kind of jumps

back over to him. He is attacked in his office

by a couple of Sobermane's goons. He looks like,

to me, almost uses his powers, but then pulls

back because he doesn't want them to see what

he's got going on or whatever else and things

like that. Oh, man. Yeah, it was really kind

of a funny scene. He was very, very Nick Cage.

Yeah, gets beat up, gets put in the car and being

taken to Silvermane directly to, you know, answer

for his involvement in all of this. He punches

one of the goons in the nose and does a tight

barrel roll outside of the car and then hangs

from the bottom of the bridge to hide. Ultimately,

in retaliation for this, they send those goons,

I guess, back to his office or maybe it was his

home the first time. That they got him is not

super, super clear. It's just a very brief scene

in kind of a hallway. But at the very least,

they're at his office a second time because they've

got a gun pointed at Janet's head. She decides

that, you know what? I can't do this anymore.

He doesn't really even intervene. He hides. in

a, in a alcove until they're kind of gone or

whatever. And big tough spider. Yeah. Right.

Yeah. Just a very, you know, very, very clearly

showing how he stepped away from all of the superhero

business. And now he's just a top notch PI or

whatever. So anyway, she quits, she's done. So,

you know, he says, go home, sleep it off. You'll

feel better. She says, no, I'm leaving, not coming

back. And then we have our, our good sad spider

scene is he's all alone now. Janet's gone. He

thinks about his lady, Ruby, no longer with us

and ultimately decides, though we don't know

it, to redawn the mask. but he's got to go get

it. We saw in episode one, he buried in the wall.

I assumed it was the wall where he lived now.

Apparently he has since moved. Yeah. He has since

moved and goes and poses a maintenance man and

enters the apartment of the people that live

there now, which he used to live when he buried

the suit in the wall and knocked the bathroom

wall out to take the suit and jump out the window.

So that's a pretty, pretty neat, pretty neat

move that he did. And he goes down and ultimately

Silvermane in a little convoy is rolling out

to somewhere, question mark. And the warehouse

is that. Yeah, no, no, no. I know. Yes, I said

I was going to get there. But yes, you're correct.

Sorry. I mean, Winston and him talked about it

earlier. Sorry. Correct. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's.

Yeah. No. So he jumps in, beats all the goons

up and sits there with Silvermane. And, you know,

they have this first sort of. And basically just

sells them to leave him alone. You know, like

nothing more than that. This major crime boss

is, hey, I beat up all your goons and now we're

talking. Leave me and Janet alone. OK, goodbye.

And that's that. And so then he gets back and

gets a phone call from from Robbie, who are at

the docks where Silvermane and the goons were

headed. And as it turns out, on this very trip,

the police had set up an ambush. to arrest Silvermane

for all the crimes that he had done. And ultimately,

by redawning the suit and going and doing this

little shenanigan that he did, he prevented Silvermane

from being arrested and put behind bars for all

the crimes. Beautiful. That's kind of where we

put a pin in it for this episode in terms of...

I mean, I don't even know if a cliffhanger is

the right move. He's just sitting there like,

oh, man, what have I done? You know, throws his

hands up in the air. Done messed up? Yeah. Yeah.

So messed up now, A .A. Ryan. So anyway. Boy.

You know, I assume that we'll continue this on

in the next episode. But that's where episode

two does, in fact, end. MCU tie -ins, as I said,

it's going to be, I mean, throughout the entirety

of the Spider -Man Wars. thing here it's going

to be kind of the same story because this is

obviously one continuous story not a a myriad

of of little snips of spider noir's life but

instead uh you know one continuous story that

they're doing so uh and the answer is once again

not a ton you know outside of just the character

names that we know sand monster As they say in

the show, a .k .a. Sandman. Of course, we've

got Ben Reilly, the spider, you know, Spider

-Man in general. We got Black Cat still here,

though. She's still kind of not come to her full

potential, in my opinion yet. But, you know,

these are these are just kind of main characters

that are in the MCU in general, in the comic

books in general. So they kind of all tie in

together. But as I said, you know, all of these

shows are or these episodes for this show are

going to be kind of. a non -starter in terms

of the mcu at large because it's a entirely different

area so speaking of entirely different areas

why don't you tell us about how you know anything

from this episode in terms of comic tie -ins

and such yeah yeah so uh as as you mentioned

it's gonna be kind of not not redundant but kind

of the same with the characters and tie -ins

because we're getting a lot of uh A lot of people

sprinkled in as we go. And of course, you know,

Cat Hardy is we know Felicia Hardy that runs

the Black Cat in the Spider Noir comics. There's,

of course, Flint Marco. We're familiar with him

and he's we talked about him being the Sandman

last episode. And yeah, so as far as comic roots

are concerned, it's really just a matter of the

core characters and who we're dealing with. Even

Silvermane is a character in the comics. Slightly

altered for this, but yeah, it's really not not

super close to the comic book series as a whole.

And as a slight side note to the comic of Spider

Noir comics, there are three out there that I'm

aware of. One was in 2009, one was in 2010, and

then one is either currently airing or just not

airing, currently being released or just finished

being released. And that one was absolutely phenomenal.

So if you guys want to read a Spider Noir, if

you're really digging this, you want to read

a Spider Noir book, that one is excellent. I

highly, highly recommend it. It's a lot of fun.

But yeah, as far as comic tie -ins and Easter

eggs, that's pretty much as far as we get. It's

not a whole lot to go off of on this one. So

overall, what'd you think? Yeah, that's a glowing

recommendation already in terms of comic book.

I don't have to do that myself. Highly recommend

it. So what did I think? I like it. I continue

to like this show. I liked the first episode

and I still have some questions, but they're

slowly filling in some answers little by little

as we go. Definitely taking some liberties with

some of the characters, which I don't hate because

it is sort of its own universe designation, which

I know you covered before or not even doesn't

even have a real designation. Yeah. Of its own.

Hasn't been named yet. Yeah, but definitely not

part of anything that we have in terms of continuity.

So taking some liberties isn't overly problematic

to me in that case, in terms of how they're changing

and portraying some of the characters and some

of the abilities and everything. I said, I don't

really have any sort of major complaints in terms

of that. The story is interesting. You know,

we're already starting to see this sort of redemption

arc of him, you know, coming back and who knows

what's going to be. I mean, this this, you know,

the events of this episode might be enough to

put it back under for a little while. I don't

know. So maybe we'll have some he and then Han

as we go forward with how he feels about using

the spider suit and his powers in general. You

know, and overall, like two episodes in and a

lot of big picture. a lot of movies and stuff

like that. And what we know kind of as the Sony

verse, right. I'd say this is definitely at least

thus far, one of the better projects that they've

done. Yeah. I don't, nothing, nothing is, nothing

has turned me off in the ways that some of these

others have, which, which we will get to eventually.

I know, but I cannot wait. Yeah. Yeah. I might

literally die on on screen here. It's morbid

time. Oh, man. Yeah. So anyway. Yeah. No, I liked

it. I said, I'm curious to see what happens next.

The show has got me hooked in terms of, you know,

wanting to be here. You know, I'm not doing this

because I just want to entertain all you fine

folks. I'm doing this because I want to see what

happens next. And if that's not the mark of a

good show, I don't, I don't know what it is.

So, right. That's how I feel. How about your,

how about yourself? I'm having a ton of fun.

I, I love how corny it is. I love how over the

top and absurd his accent, his voice. I don't

know what his character, I don't know what, what

to call it. I don't think it's an accent, but

it is just, it's obscene. It is an absolute blast.

I think everyone is doing. a great job with acting

you know nick cage accepted for who he is but

yeah i i love brendan gleason he is scary in

this role he's like he's he's intimidating he's

got that that gravitas that totally checks out

as a bomb boss and i'm having fun with that so

yeah all in all i just it's a good ride i'm loving

the altered look at the uh like flint marco and

uh Felicia, just everyone having just this slightly

tilted lens, even from seeing this same lens

being put on them in the comics, it's fun to

see kind of the cinematic look at that lens as

well. So, um, you know, Robbie's character is

a, is a big part of the comics as well. And he's

a lot of fun in, well, not fun, but he's a really

integral part of that story as well. And to see

him getting as involved as he is, that's pretty

exciting. Cause so we're starting to see things

from the comic in again, a slightly different

lens. And, and I'm just, really having a good

time with it so All in all, I cannot wait to

see what happens in this ridiculous show. Yeah,

I think the way you said it, it's so corny. And

I think it's leaning into that. It's accepting

that as its identity. Oh, it knows exactly what

it is. And it's doing it very well. And it is

funny because we definitely talked in the watch

party as well. And I think it's worth mentioning

to get to hear about his voice. Yeah, whatever

accent or whatever he's doing. But then when

he puts the suit on, I definitely felt that voice

drop an octave. And I can't help but go back

to the Christian Bale Batman. It's not quite

as it's not quite as like over the top as that

one is. But it really is just it's just so funny.

And it really sounds it sounds like his his mask

is so pressed up against his face and his nose.

Maybe that's what it is. Talk like that anyway.

Maybe that's what they're going for. It's definitely

different enough, but you could still very, very

clearly tell it's him and his same like whatever

accent or thing he's trying to do with this voice.

It's just, it's just Nick Cage being the best

version of Nick Cage that he could be and, and

bless him for it. You know, that's, that's all

I know to say. That's all I know to say. You

know, he's, he's, he's doing better here for

me that I'll, you know, that we'll get to there

where my, my favorite hero of all time, where

he just, I don't even think that was him more

so than what's the script he was given, but I'm

sure he didn't help it. When we get to Ghost

Rider, but you know, he's, He is an interesting

character. He is always an interesting character.

Absolutely. I've been enjoying it so far. The

corniness, as you said, is well put. Definitely

worth the watch. Yeah. All that said, I'm having

a blast and I cannot wait to join you folks with

the rest of it. It's going to be fun to continue

on this one. We'll see you on the next one. Thank
