About the episode
This week, Ade and Aaron tangle themselves in Sony’s spidery mess of a movie: Madame Web (2024). With Dakota Johnson staring blankly through most of her lines, this movie is less a superhero flick and more a PSA about why you shouldn’t let IP law write your scripts.
From jungle spider cults in Peru to clairvoyant CPR lessons in New York, the guys try to untangle the plot—or at least survive the web of confusion. They debate the villain’s impeccable hair and suspicious ADR voice, roast teenage diner dance parties, and marvel at the worst boss battle in superhero movie history.
Grab your Pepsi (to stay on-brand with the blatant product placement), settle in, and join the hosts as they laugh their way through one of the flattest, strangest superhero movies ever made. Because if there’s one thing Madame Web teaches us, it’s that not every character in the Spider-Verse deserves their own movie.
