Spiderman Movies Vol. 2: The Amazing Spiderman WTF | Ep 34

In this episode of the After School Special Podcast, Don, Aaron, and John return to the Spider-Verse to dissect the Andrew Garfield era. We dive deep into The Amazing Spider-Man 1 and 2, debating whether the "cool" Peter Parker worked and why the parent-spy subplots felt like a Jason Bourne movie gone wrong. From the lizard evolution to the "glow stick" version of Electro, we break down why these Marvel films left so many fans conflicted.We also explore the technical side, discussing the RED Epic 5K cinematography, the James Horner score, and the "musical" movements of the clock tower scene.
