Today’s forecast for Manhattan: scattered goo, strong winds of questionable decision-making, and a one hundred percent chance that Spider-Man’s week gets worse.

Spider-Man: Web of Shadows is what happens when your friendly neighborhood hero wanders into the moodiest chapter of his career. The quips go quiet, the skies go dark, and Peter Parker learns that an alien goo outbreak is not something you can shake off with a witty one-liner. Even the city looks like it needs a nap, which is saying something for a place that’s been knocked flat in more video games than anyone can count.

Chris is joined by Matt Turner of Pikaslash Plays, who bravely volunteered to talk through every dramatic stare, gloomy monologue, and crossover cameo. It’s two friends, one very gloomy version of New York, and a sincere attempt to figure out when Spider-Man stopped being the funny one.

Holy poorly-rated superhero media! Get ready to dive into some of the murkiest depths of the Marvel universe as we analyze 2003’s not-so-stellar Daredevil offerings. First up in the hot seat is the Ben Affleck-led Daredevil film that premiered that very same year. Despite boasting major star power and promising early trailers, this big screen endeavor wound up being another dud, critically panned for an overly serious tone and absurd costuming choices.

Gameplay was repetitive and uninspired, while graphics were subpar even by 2003’s standards. Yikes!

To help us dissect these dual disasters, we’re joined by special guest Ryan from Fake Nerd podcast. Ryan will lend his wit and wisdom to evaluating these massive missteps in Daredevil history. Will we find any redeeming qualities in these offerings? Tune in to find out!
