The road to 2021’s big holiday hitter starring a certain Marvel web-slinger filled two weeks’ worth of doubleheader episodes from the Cinephile Hissy Fit podcast, sponsored and supported by the Ruminations Radio Network. Special guest Rachel S. helped celebrate all the live-action Spider-Man incarnations—Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland—across three episodes. She passes the baton for the big culmination hitting theaters with unprecedented hype—Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Crack open the Mickeys, Olde English, and King Cobra! It’s the Big 4-O! For our 40th episode—and the second of this Pre-Christmas doubleheader—25YL film critics, stoked dads, and overhyped teachers Will Johnson and Don Shanahan get to gush over the Marvel Cinematic Universe tentpole that is Spider-Man: No Way Home with FULL SPOILERS! Through our last three retrospective shows, we built up to this big splash. Now, listen for how the guys landed on this multiverse extravaganza.
