The Weekly Stuff #468 - Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Review & Discussion

Purely Academic with Jonathan Lack & Sean Chapman

The sequel to one of our favorite superhero/animated films ever made dropped this week with Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, and has been lighting the world on fire – so you know we had to talk about it. Jonathan gave his thoughts in a written review over at the Weekly Stuff Wordcast – you should subscribe! – but here, we go into full spoiler detail breaking down what makes this movie so bold, brilliant, and beautiful. We also spend a good chunk of time gushing overStreet Fighter 6, the brand new entry in the beloved fighting game series, and one that has completely captured our hearts with its charming and inviting presentation and World Tour campaign mode. A bit more Tears of the Kingdom talk and Jonathan’s continued adventures with Justified round out the episode.
