Episode 119 - Spider-Man (feat. Jay Salahi & Hermes)

With great podcast comes great responsibility. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew as we recover from a super-spider bite to talk about the 2002 franchise beginner, Spider-Man.  We're selling our own photographs to the Daily Bugle as a side hustle in our 119th episode as we discuss:

• The development hell this episode was under 
• What we thought of Danny Elfman's score
• Is Tobey Maguire innately likeable or innately dislikable?
• How do you write organic sounding dialogue?
• Why was the film rushing Peter's character development by telling, not showing
• We discuss our personal histories with the film
• We're joined by a pair of very special guests due to some highly unusual circumstances
• We name our favourite Spider-Man: Maguire, Garfield, or Holland
• Liam and Ian often disagree about something. We put that to the test in the first 20 minutes
• Whether or not Spider-Man is the Best Film Ever.
