What is an “acolyte”? Websters says “one who assists a member of the clergy in a liturgical service by performing minor duties: one who attends or assists a leader”. An interesting first thought on the new Disney+ Star Wars series THE ACOLYTE. Starring Squid Game star Lee Jung-jae as Master Sol, Amandla Stenberg as Mae/Osha, Dafne Keen as Padawan Jecki Lon, and Charlie Barnett as Yorn Fandar. While the story is still unraveling we decided we wanted to look at these 1st four episodes with you The Friday Night Faithful. The series has not been without its share of controversy amongst fans and non-fans alike some going as far as to say it’s the herald to the death of Star Wars. What do we think? Well you’ll have to just come along for the ride! 100 years in the before The Phantom Menace!

Listen Bud, he’s got radioactive blood. Can he swing from a thread? Take a look overhead. Hey there! There goes the Spider-Man! Back in the year of Our Lord 2002, Evil Dead director Sam Raimi and Sony gave us the feature length on-screen Spider-Man we’d waited since 1962 to see. Tobey Maguire donned the blue and red webbed suit and Marvel was never the same again. They’d had Blade, and they’d had the X-Men but now their flagship superhero was leading the charge. It solidified Tobey as Spider-Man at that time and made JK Simmons J. Jonah Jameson til this day. And it would happen for Raimi and Maguire two more times in 2004 and 2007. Completing the Raimi/Maguire trilogy to somewhat mixed reviews. On April 15, 2024 the Spider-Man movies returned to movie screens and presented a whole new audience an opportunity to see these films for their first time on the big screen! We’re going to talk to one of those audience members along with someone who saw them their first time in theater! Wealth and fame? He’s ignored - action is his reward! Look out here comes the Spider-Man!!!
