Finally, after what seems like a decade of speculation, leaks, rumors, and general social media debate, “Spider-Man: No Way Home” is in theaters (you can read our review). And with that, it’s time that people know the truth about the latest film in the Sony/Marvel Studios partnership—it’s actually really great… or maybe it’s just yet another legacy sequel that hopes nostalgia will help gloss over some glaring flaws? The Playlist Podcast is here to dive deep into all aspects of ‘No Way Home’ to hopefully give a definitive answer.
For those who have been living under a rock, “Spider-Man: No Way Home” is the third film in the ‘Spider-Man’ partnership between Sony and Marvel Studios, starring Tom Holland as Peter Parker. The film picks up immediately from the events of ‘Far From Home,’ with the young Peter Parker trying to figure out how to fix the biggest problem he’s ever faced—the world knowing his Spider-Man secret. From there, he enlists the help of Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), and if you’ve seen the trailers, you know that all hell breaks loose.
In the podcast, we talk briefly in a non-spoiler discussion about the overall thoughts about the film. But it doesn’t take long before the episode segues into full spoiler territory where we break down every aspect of the film to see if it lives up to the seemingly never-ending hype.
