Tights, Camera, Action!

Sam Raimi's SPIDER-MAN (2002) is a really important watershed moment for modern superhero movies, so you would be forgiven for thinking it's really good. It's not *bad*, but it certainly feels very different to what we now think of as common comic book movies. Starring Tobey Maguire as the world's oldest teenager Peter Parker, along with Kirsten Dunst, James Franco and Willem Dafoe giving a BONKERS villain performance, this episode delve into the strange, campy world of Peter Parker's post 9/11 NYC.
