Kino Lefter Evan MacDonald

Paris Marx, host of fellow Harbinger Media podcast Tech Won't Save Us joins Evan to discuss Spidey's latest outing, Spider-Man: No Way Home.  We discuss Peter Parker's working class roots, and how Disney/Sony's new version of the character worships billionaire power and technological might at the expense of character development.

And spoilers ahead! The whole film gets spoiled up top so don't listen if you're spoiler adverse.

Please note that the second half of this episode contains conversations on self harm and suicide, which can't be avoided because it's central to the plot of Dear Evan Hansen.

2021 provided its share of highs and lows at the cinema, and these two films capture them well. Dear Evan Hansen is the rancid musical that's somehow not a coming out story, and House of Gucci is an auto-pilot Ridley Scott Movie. Friend of the show Vic returns to navigate through these challenging works.

Celebrated director of Nomadland Chloé Zhao returns to cinemas with Marvel's Eternals, hyped as a new superhero masterpiece and a win for diverse casting in blockbusters, they instead delivered an absolute mess reviled by fans and critics alike. How did this happen? And why is the bombing of Hiroshima used as character development for a guy named Phastos? Karen Mills from Alberta Advantage and C.H.A.N.G.E. Agents returns.
