Summary

Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy of the early 2000s helped solidify the superhero genre as one that could make boatloads of money--and tell good stories all the way to the bank. (Okay, maybe not the third one. But you get the idea.) Don and Chuck were both young men when Spider-Man 2 (arguably the best in the trilogy) came out, and think fondly of it to this day. Its combination of superhero action, personal drama, and (quite frankly) cheesy, comic book silliness makes it both a blast to watch and a generally well-made, well-told story. It also does a great job on conveying some important life lessons for Don and Chuck to deconstruct: how important heroes can be, how honesty (or the lack thereof) can affect relationships, and how doing good can become a habit if you let it. So, stick around (ha! get it?
