Story x Story #147: Multiversal Showboating (Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse)

We are back from our mid-season break and are recording new episodes of Story x Story! This week, Nigel searches for his place in the multiverse with comic artist Ryan Jenkyns and Wesley Louis, Director at The Line Animation. We delve into Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (starting at 23:00) and the incredible animation on display in this epic feature. The film delivers amazing visuals and takes Miles on a great journey, with plenty of relatable themes to explore. We discuss the challenge of breaking up one story into two parts and the skill with which this diverse narrative comes together on the big screen. In this episode's storytelling tip, we talk about creating a story with two protagonists. Other stories we're enjoying: How to Think When You Draw, Batman Superman World's Finest, UltraMega, Kroma, Breaking Bad, Train to Busan, My Adventures with Superman, Secret Invasion, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Oppenheimer, Kizazi Moto: Generation Fire, and Primal.
