The year's second big superhero movie, following The Avengers--which you
may remember we discussed and AJ even wrote a review of--is The Amazing
Spider-Man, rebooting the franchise that sputtered to an end but five
years ago. Paul and AJ, both opinionated Spider-Man fans, are at odds over
Marc Webb's new film; Paul considers it the best big screen Spidey yet, AJ
not so much. Is Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker a faithful representation
of the one in the comics? Do Spider-Man's jokes work? Is the Lizard a good
starter villain for this new wall-crawler? Is Emma Stone completely
adorable? (Spoiler: they agree on that last one, at least.) Plus, the boys
geek out over the announcement of more Sandman and share their experiences
of seeing Singin' in the Rain on the big screen.
Next: We’re back, back in the Gotham groove. Paul and AJ rise up to discuss Christopher Nolan’s Bat swan song, The Dark Knight Rises.
