Upside down kissing, Bonesaw McGraw, and a soundtrack featuring not just one, but TWO of Avril Lavigne\u2019s ex-husbands\u2026it\u2019s SPIDER-MAN! Screen Crush\u2019s Matt Singer (who literally wrote a book about Spider-Man) joins us as we take a look back to a much different Hollywood landscape; a time when Marvel was a struggling comics company, when both Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire were considered odd choices for a superhero adaptation, and when no film had yet to open to $100M at the US Box Office. Is the hyphen in \u201cSpider-Man\u201d crucial to the film\u2019s themes? Was it a mistake to cover Willem Dafoe\u2019s already goblinesque visage with a mask? Does Joe Manganiello look too old to be a high school student?
