The Incomparable, number 474, August 2019.

Welcome back to The Incomparable, and it is the summer of Spider-Man.

Did you know that? Did you not know that? Well, we did an

episode about Spider-Man, far from home. And we are now going to do three episodes about the Sam

Ramey Spider-Man movies from earlier in this century. That's right. And I have to do them soon,

otherwise it will become the fall of Spider-Man.

I'll have to rename this the season of Spider-Man,

and the season is defined by me and goes across many seasons.

Anyway, hopefully we'll get these done before the seasons change,

and it'll be the summer of Spider-Man,

capped off by these three movies.

Finally, at long last, Spider-Man properly comes to the big

screen with his own little big-screen movie spider adventure. And joining me to talk about

the first serious foray of Spider-Man on the big screen are three wonderful people. Guy English is here.

Hi, Guy. Who am I? Are you sure you want to know? Oh, boy. I asked. I guess I asked, so I opened myself up for that one, didn't I?

Yeah, I'm really glad you asked me that one first, because I was pretty sure somebody was going to steal that line. So, yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Gene McDonald is also here. Hello. Hello, Jason. Thanks for having me. It's great to have you here.

And Moises Chouyan is here. Shazam! There's multiple DC comics references in this movie.

Yeah. That was funny. If somebody told you that this movie starts with a ponderous voiceover,

somebody told the truth. Because that's how this movie starts with Toby McGuire as Peter Parker.

This movie begins and ends with ponderous voiceovers.

So I have to admit, I, as a lifelong Spider-Man fan, I went into this.
