TPToA Podcast 317 – Spider-Man: Across The Spiderverse

An impressive follow up to the first film which may be a tad over-long
A visual feast of a film which is jam packed with humour, character, pathos, and cameos... Your mileage may vary on it's non-Spider-nerd accessibility as some of our team found it exclusionary in it's densely layered in-jokes and cameos. It should also be warned that this is the middle part of a trilogy (as many were unaware) which brings to it all the problems that can cause. The visual storytelling however is utterly unparalleled and for some of our team that was enough to raise this into excellent territory.

AWESOME

Pack your web shooters folks and get ready to swing on into the biggest animated film of the year. We’ve been Into the Spider-verse before, but now we’re going all the way across it with the return of Miles Morales, Peter B. Parker and Spider-Gwen along with new characters: Spider-Woman, Spidey 2099, Spider-Punk, Spider-Cat, Spider-bite, Spider-horse and Spider T-Rex… all-in-all, more than 250 other Spider-people from a multitude of universes and species!

In this animated discussion Dion and Quinny are joined by a special guest from another universe entirely; the delightful and passionate Ardella returns to the podcast (Thats Bec to the regulars!) and here, the discussion over this film is definitely robust, at times pointed and yet always loving.

After reuniting with Gwen Stacy, Brooklyn’s full-time, friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is catapulted across the Multiverse, where he encounters a team of Spider-People charged with protecting its very existence. However, when the heroes clash on how to handle a new threat, Miles finds himself pitted against the other Spiders. He must soon redefine what it means to be a hero so he can save the people he loves most.
