It’s Good, Except It Sucks: Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse With David Smith

Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse - David Smith joins Tim Worthington for a chat about Miles Morales being bitten by the wrong wrong spider in It's Good, Except It Sucks - a movie by movie - and television series by television series - hurtle through the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

It’s Good, Except It Sucks is a movie by movie – and television series by television series – hurtle through the Marvel Cinematic Universe, hosted by Tim Worthington with a series of superpowered guests.

This time we’re heading into the Multiverse for a look at Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse from 2023, and joining Tim for a chat about Miles Morales being bitten by the wrong wrong spider is quiz expert David Smith. What will they find to say about Chekhov’s Spider-Baby, whether not having a face should be sufficient motivation for a supervillain and why the anti-woke lobby don’t want Spider-Woman but don’t want not wanting THAT Spider-Woman even more (or is it less?), and what does any of this have to do with Kevin Feige’s Twitter mentions being bitten by a radioactive pig? Get listening and find out!
