Helen and Gavin chat about Spider-Noir, Miss You, Love You, Power Ballad, and Masters of the Universe, and it's Week 49 of the list of Grammy Record of the Year Winners from 2007, which will be picked…
No entities detected.
But before we get to that, Helen, what has been at the top of your list this
week? I watched the eight episode series Spider Noir on Amazon Prime this week.
You may recall Spider Noir was the, when you see Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse, Spider Noir is the black and white Spider-Man from the 1930s who talks like he just stepped out of a noir film.
See?
I do not remember that, but
that's not to
say it wasn't great.
And voiced memorably by one Nicolas Cage.
Well, now we get to see live action Nicolas Cage play Spider-Man and swing around on black webs throughout the city during the Great Depression.
Would you believe? Would I
believe?
Would you believe it? In addition to Nicolas Cage, this also stars Li Junli.
Brendan Gleeson, Lamorne Morris, Karen Rodriguez, and a number of others.
In this series, Spider Noir, or The Spider, as he's known in the episodes...
That makes sense.
Yes.
Has hung up the costume...
As many Spider-Men are wont to do because the love of his life died and he wasn't able to save her.
Love of life do that all the time in movies.
They do.
They do, especially for Spider-Men's.
But then something happens in the city.
There is a Kingpin-like character called Silvermane, which is played quite well by Brendan Gleeson, whose New York accent is actually kind of good, especially for, you know, kind of that age period.
Yeah.
The spider must help a young woman escape Silvermane's clutches as well as solve the mystery of a number of other people with superpowers who seem to be getting sicker and sicker the more that they use their powers.
