Also, Rachelle would like to apologize for the sound quality of this episode. It all sounded great in the headphones during recording, but it turns out the actual recording was being done by the laptop microphone, not the hand-held mics/mixing board. She did her best trying to fix up the audio in editing. Dave, you will notice, was sitting further away from the laptop.

Jun 28, 2017

Here's the thing: Dave and Rachelle love the third and final movie in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy. LOVE. IT. Is it perfect? No. Is it mostly very fun with some unfortunate Venom stuff crammed in? Yes.

Jun 21, 2017

Rachelle and Dave are moving on to the second, and most highly regarded, movie in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy. Though many still consider Spider-Man 2 to be one of the best super hero movies of all time, Dave and Rachelle have some problems with it. A lot of problems.

Also discussed in this episode: the leaked trailer for Inhumans, Jack Kirby gets a Disney Legends award, Rachelle is struggling to beat Baron Strucker in the 2011 Captain America: Super Soldier video game, and Hawkman gets rated as a super hunk.
