Before the theatrical release of Spider-Man: No Way Home this December, the hosts will be completing a segmented series of hopscotching episodes sizing up and stripping down each of the silver screen Spider-Man iterations. We’ll break our offerings up into shows dedicated to Maguire, Garfield, Holland, Venom spinoffs, and animated. First up, is the one with the most teeth and most tater tots.

For our 27th episode, 25YL film critics, good-eating dads, and zany school teachers Will Johnson and Don Shanahan prepare for the timely release of Venom: Let There Be Carnage with a look back at the first Venom film from 2018. Will and Don are joined by special guest and comic book nut Rachel S. to talk about symbiotes and idiots. Will had never seen this movie and got to be the one surprised while Don was already ahead of the pack seeing and reviewing Venom: Let There Be Carnage for press this week.
