The Unmade Spider-Man Movies: Mutants, Gravity Beams, and the Okey-Dokey Doc Ock Disaster
from Rewind or Die – Cult Movies, Trash Cinema, and Deep Dives
Before Tobey Maguire ever suited up, Hollywood spent nearly 15 years trying—and failing—to make a Spider-Manmovie. In this Rewind or Die Shorts episode, Adam discovers the chaotic truth: in the 1980s, Spider-Man almost mutated into a monster, fought a gravity-crazed Doctor Octopus who said “Okey-dokey” after every crime, and eventually became part of a bizarre James Cameron sex-web saga involving rooftop monologues and lawsuits from every studio in existence.Jeff breaks it all down. Steve eats snacks and asks if “Boyd” is a scary villain name. Adam suffers emotionally. And yes, Cannon Films was involved.New York was almost destroyed by anti-gravity beams, but what really got destroyed was common sense.Up next: a full episode on 1978’s Superman (yes, we’re pivoting to DC—deal with it).
