Ep 187 Spider-Man 3: Do You Expect Us To Talk?

Posted on by

Do You Expect Us To Talk? returns with the last of the Raimi/Maguire Spider-Man films. The third movie balances trying to tie up Harry’s decent into madness and revenge, Peter finding the new challenge of letting Spider-Man’s popularity go to his head at the expense of his relationship with MJ. All the the while finding out the new villain on the scene who has some how merged with sand, is the one who was responsible for Uncle Ben’s death. Meanwhile, an alien being lands in New York and attaches itself to Spider-Man’s suit.

Join Becca, Dave and Chris as we discuss can a film bite off more than it can chew, toxic relationships, how long did the venom symbiote spend hanging around Peter’s apartment, was Topher Grace really that bad, sad sack bad guys and Soap Opera sub-plots, terrible endings, how everything is the butler’s fault and how to eat pie while being evil?

Posted on by

Do You Expect Us To Talk? returns with the next instalment of the Tobey Maguire cry-athon with Spider-Man 2. Picking things up from the first film, Peter is fighting crime as Spider-Man, as MJ becomes a big star and is dating an astronaut and Harry has taken over his father’s business while resenting Spider-Man for killing his father. Not finding a balance between life as a crime fighter and his everyday life, the frustrations of everything going wrong is starting to get to Peter. Harry introduces him to Dr Octavius, who about to create a self-sustaining fusion reaction to create a new energy source. When the project goes wrong, it leaves the Dr ruined, with a twisted mind leading to life of crime. Just as a new foe emerges, spider-man starts to lose his powers, leaving him to consider which life does Peter Parker want?

Join Becca, Dave and Chris as we discuss, the evil dead resemblance, terrible freeze-frames, MJ being a terrible person, why Peter doesn’t even attempt to clear things up, bags of money in banks, why Doc Ock stealing money doesn’t make sense, neither does Harry seeing the Green Goblin, why we complain about a reasonably good film when we talk through it and who the hell is Hal Sparks?

Ep 185 Spider-Man: Do You Expect Us To Talk?

Posted on by

Do You Expect Us To Talk? returns with another series and to Marvel, long before the extended universe became a thing. In many ways Spider-man gave super hero movies the big push to the big screen. Directed by The Evil Dead’s Sam Raimi, it stars Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker and follows him through high school through to getting bitten by a genetically engineered spider and gaining spider-like powers. With great power comes great responsibility, Peter becomes a masked crime fighter, while new nemesis, The Green Goblin emerges.

Follow Becca, Dave and Chris as we discuss, how crap screen versions of spider-man were before this film, does Spider-Man 2002 hold up today, why it would make sense for Peter to let the robber with odd memorable hair pass, villains that die leaving the hero not accountable, high schoolers in their 30s, Harry Osborn is a terrible friend and why would MJ ever be interested in a weird stalkery crybaby.
