    Is Marvel ‘Back’ with Spider-Man: Brand New Day? – E186

    After seeing Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the newest entry from Sony and Marvel starring Tom Holland, Madison says that no matter what, this is the direction for a true friendly *neighborhood* Spider-Man. While there are a few other big characters involved, including Jon Bernthal’s Punisher and Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk, this feels less Avenger-y and much more grounded. Beyond the story itself, Madison praised the masterful direction, and visuals in this new entry. We hope you enjoy today’s episode, and get your tickets below! — Get your tickets today: - Find showtimes near you for Spider-Man: Brand New Day. —- SPIDER-MAN™: BRAND NEW DAY It's a BRAND NEW DAY for Peter Parker. Fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that doesn’t remember him—and the pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him—sparks a change in Peter he may not have the power to control. But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves - a powerful villain no one can even see. The world may have forgotten Peter Parker, but he hasn’t forgotten them.

    The Odyssey: A Short Review of a LONG VOYAGE – E184

    Madison gives us his quick take on Christopher Nolan’s newest film, The Odyssey.

We hope you enjoy this quick recap, and go see The Odyssey, in theaters now. — Get your tickets today: - Find showtimes near you for The Odyssey —- Fan of The Indie Magazine & Podcast?

    Disclosure Day Review: Spielberg Serves Up THE UFO Movie – E181

    Madison and Tristan discuss Steven Spielberg’s new film, Disclosure Day (2026), and why Madison believes it’s in Spielberg’s top 15, but maybe not top 5. We get into box office predictions, current sentiments, and expectations, as well as the lore, Spielberg’s fascination with the subject, and how he deals with it in this film. A spiritual successor to Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), more positive than War of the Worlds (2005), and less-adorable than E.T. (1982), the film includes nods to Spielberg’s past work while also carving a new enough path in this chase film to be a worthy summer blockbuster.
