Ep 46: The Amazing Spider-Man

Is the way we remember 2012's The Amazing Spider-Man accurate after a re-watch? Despite losing the web-slinger to Marvel, does Sony's first step in creating a "Spidey Cinematic Universe" hold up? We take a fresh look at this film as we start our Summer of Spider-Man on The Movie Defenders podcast. First, we address some huge news with the show, and our new home, The Prescribed Films Podcast Network! We talk about the changing of networks, the reasons why, and what it means for our show. We talk about a special deal with have for new Patreon supporters, and how we have re-priced our support tiers. Then it's time for films as we talk about Joker getting an R rating and the top 5 pieces of movie memorabilia that we want. Then it's time to 'Thwip' all over the place as we unpack and discuss one of Sony's last live-action Spider-Man films. So don't climb into that room filled with glowing spiders, remember your responsibility, and don't rush your crazy cross-species serum to human trials... it's time for The Amazing Spider-Man! 00:00:00 Introduction & our format 00:13:30 We are joining The Prescribed Films Network! 00:44:40 Joker will be rated R 00:49:05 Top 5 pieces of movie memorabilia we want 01:06:28 The Amazing Spider-Man discussion begins 01:36:05 Peter tries to play the hero... but can't 01:45:10 Uncle Ben tells Peter about his father 01:59:00 Peter comes home after being bitten 02:05:35 Peter visits Dr. Connors 02:08:40 Peter comes home late; Ben teaches him more about his responsibilities 02:12:10 Ben is disappointed in Peter for bullying Flash 02:23:50 The death of Uncle Ben 02:35:45 Spider-Man stops a car thief 02:39:15 Peter comes home after crime fighting and scares Aunt May 02:45:25 Peter has dinner with the Stacys 02:52:40 Spider-Man saves child from a car 03:01:05 Peter can't 'lay low' 03:16:20 The cranes line up 03:23:05 The final battle 03:31:15 Gwen visits Peter after the funeral and 'The Promise' 03:35:30 Mid-Credits Scene Available wherever you get podcasts!
