S16 Ep876: Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019)

“This felt like a season of a television show” - SteveOn the season sixteen finale of WHM, we’re bringing the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza to a close with a talk about the kinda-good/kinda-not Homecoming follow-up, Spider-Man: Far From Home!  How boring are these Elemental villains? Did they really need to do the European Vacation trope? Should they have instead taken the story to Hollywood to have Spider-Man tangle with the actual Quentin Beck special F/X whiz guy from the comics? How great is Gyllenhaal here? Did the MCU ever really grapple with The Blip aftermath? And did we really need all the S.H.I.E.L.D. shenanigans in this one? PLUS: An extended rant on the trials and tribulations of using the bathroom on a plane! Spider-Man: Far From Home stars Tom Holland, Samuel L. Jackson, Marisa Tomei, Jon Favreau, Zendaya, Jacob Battalion, Tony Revolori, Angourie Rice, Remy Hill, Martin Starr, J.B. Smoove, Cobie Smulders, J.K. Simmons, and Jake Gyllenhaal as Mysterio; directed by Jon Watts.Come hang out in Vegas with us this summer as we do a three-night stand at ST:LV to celebrate 60 years of Star Trek and 10 years of The Nexus!
