Spider-DanHOST
And it's interesting to see like the way he's now like, again, like you said, like the Spider-Verse films have taken off and obviously Nick Cage is playing this character, a version of this character in a live action TV show.
Spider-DanHOST
And he's called Ben Reilly.
Spider-DanHOST
He is not the Ben Reilly as we've discussed on a previous Spider-Man podcast.
Spider-DanHOST
It's not quite the same character, but again, I think they've done that to differentiate that character from any other versions that we've previously seen.
Spider-DanHOST
And again, I don't mind that.
MarkHOST
He leverages his exclusive footage of the spider to secure... his triumphant return and a brand new desk at the daily bugle, which is great because Robbie Robertson, as we all know from the comic lore, even from like the sixties animated show, all the cartoons that surpassed that, uh, Robbie Robertson was always there, and he is a dedicated journalist.
MarkHOST
But in this case now, he is Ben Reilly's best friend.
MarkHOST
And, well, we could break the ice now and state, you know, Ben knows.
MarkHOST
Yeah, you're the spider.
SteveHOST
him before they try to charge him.
MarkHOST
Right, right.
MarkHOST
But there's also a classic film nod, though, with Ben Reilly at a certain point.
MarkHOST
He goes, Ben drops a subtle homage.
JeremiahPANELIST
Next up, a new Spider-Man spinoff series is developed at Amazon following the cancellation of Spider-Noir starring Nicolas Cage.
JeremiahPANELIST
What show would you like to see? I want to see Andy Samberg as Ben Reilly because he plays him very briefly in Across the Spider-Verse.
JeremiahPANELIST
The sad Ben Reilly.
JeremiahPANELIST
I think that'd be funny.
KyleHOST
Hmm.
Drew McKinneyHOST
Oh, my gosh.
Drew McKinneyHOST
But the moment with Nick Cage and Ben Reilly, no. Ben Reilly, and Robbie Robertson on the bench.
Drew McKinneyHOST
Oh, so good.
Drew McKinneyHOST
Are you kidding me? That's phenomenal writing.
Mike D'AngeloHOST
But while you're exhausted by those questions, I'm, I feel almost obligated to follow up on your answer, which is that if you did come back as that Spider-Man, you'd wanna do something really different.
Mike D'AngeloHOST
And with, with Secret or seemingly opening the door to, you know, wild Battle World possibilities, does that movie theoretically offer the kind of playground you meant? Or when you say weird Spider-Man, are you imagining like Spidey and Deadpool road tripping through the multiverse, or Ben Reilly as like a Peter Parker clone? Like, what, what would you think?
Andrew GarfieldGUEST
Why don't you write a spec script and I'll read it?
Mike D'AngeloHOST
Yeah.
Coy JandreauHOST
I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go wicked '90s.
Coy JandreauHOST
I'm gonna do Ben Reilly Spider-Man, and then Mark Bagley with him, 'cause I love Mark Bagley-drawn Spider-Man.
Jake Lloyd BaconHOST
Right.
Coy JandreauHOST
And I'm bringing in Kyle Rayner Green Lantern.
Coy JandreauHOST
I think he'd do a really cool, like, imagine Kyle Rayner's wife or, or girlfriend gets fridged.
Jake Lloyd BaconHOST
Right.
Coy JandreauHOST
And Ben Reilly and him are on the case to find...
Coy JandreauHOST
It's not Major Force in this one.

I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go wicked '90s.

KeithHOST
But the silver lining is Spider Noir will live on, if not forever, at least a long while on Amazon Prime, and for me at least, it made a pretty perfect one season.
KeithHOST
In Spider Noir, Nick Cage plays Ben Reilly, a down-on-his-luck private investigator and the city's sole superpowered vigilante in 1930s New York City during the Prohibition era.
KeithHOST
Anyone who's seen the Spider-Verse movies, especially the first one, knows this is a role Cage loves to play, and one that fits his goofy persona pretty perfectly.
KeithHOST
Beyond that, the casting and overall storyline of this single season were dynamic all around, leading to the show receiving 11 Emmy nominations and winning five awards, with Outstanding Title Design, Outstanding Sound Editing for a Comedy or Drama Series, one hour, Outstanding Cinematography for a Series, one hour, outstanding special visual effects in a single episode, and outstanding stunt coordination.
OliHOST
But before we get into today's episode, we've had another bit of a crazy week in terms of the clips on social media.
OliHOST
First of all, the Andrew Garfield Ben Reilly clip has hit 12,000.
OliHOST
And then the other tier list video has hit, it's almost on 700 views now.
OliHOST
And then we posted a clip about Midnight Spider-Man, which at first didn't get too much traction, which we were a bit disheartened by.
ILLHOST
Exactly, posing and shit.
ILLHOST
Is it Ben Reilly? Ben Reilly, the Spider-Man? Yeah, when was he created? I have no idea.
ILLHOST
Because you know how he's like... emo basically oh is he like supposed to be like how does him and bim supposed to be like the same people i
Dom CruzeHOST
