Spider-Man 2 (2004)

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’s Spider-Man 2! We praise Raimi’s ability to balance a story brimming with pathos and heart with spectacular, show-stopping set pieces; we reflect on Tobey Maguire’s performance and characterization versus the several Spider-Men we’ve had since; and examine the elements that make Spider-Man such a relatable and enduring character for nearly 60 years.
