With great podcasts come great responsibility to look at every Spider-Man movie adaptation!

In this epic Now Playing Podcast retrospective, we follow Spider-Man from his earliest live-action television adventures through every theatrical incarnation, including the Sam Raimi trilogy, the Amazing Spider-Man films, Tom Holland's Marvel Cinematic Universe adventures, and the animated Spider-Verse saga. Along the way, we also explore Sony's expanding Spider-Man universe with Venom, Morbius, Madame Web, and every other web spun from Peter Parker's corner of Marvel. Whether it's a hero, a villain, an ally, or an antihero, if they're part of Spider-Man's cinematic world, we'll be there to ask the only question that matters: does it stick the landing?
