Frequent guest Ryan Chollet joins us to revisit a crucial milestone in the rise of comic book movies, and a perfect encapsulation of the what the superhero genre has to offer: Sam Raimi\u2019s Spider-Man 2!\n\nWe praise Raimi\u2019s ability to balance a story brimming with pathos and heart with spectacular, show-stopping set pieces; we reflect on Tobey Maguire\u2019s performance and characterization versus the several Spider-Men we\u2019ve had since; and examine the elements that make Spider-Man such a relatable and enduring character for nearly 60 years.\n\nYou can reach the podcast at--\nEmail: mywifewatchesmovies@gmail.com\nInstagram: @wifewatches
