Hey, web-slingers, it’s your friendly neighborhood movie podcast! Swing into a Spidey Spectacular as the boys wrap a web of wonder around Sam Raimi’s SPIDER-MAN Trilogy; with special Spidey Scribe, Kevin Shinick (Marvel, DC, “Robot Chicken”) joining in on the fun. Look out! Here comes Episode 48 of Opening Weekend!
With great podcast, comes great responsibility. And with Opening Weekend, comes….hand-farts, murder-hornets, and Gene Shalit?
Close enough, Uncle Ben!
Ahh, the awe-inspiring wonderment that is Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 1! Ahh, the next-level excitement that is Spider-Man 2! And ahh, the mediocre “meh”-ness that is Spider-Man 3. The white goo gets replaced by black goo, Willem Dafoe and Alfred Molina get replaced by the guy from ‘That 70s Show’ and the guy from ‘Wings’, and plot gets replaced by…spidey-dancing? Which we all LIKED?!?
How many Sheilas will each film of the original Spider-Man trilogy receive? How many times will Dan confuse the plots of the three movies? How many minutes into the episode will legitimate Marvel writer/director/producer/voice artist Kevin Shinick realize he’s trapped on a podcast with three people who liked Megaforce? So many questions! So few coherent answers! Go get ‘em Tiger! (Get’em some more listeners. Please, God. More listeners.)
What is Opening Weekend?
In a world where cinemas have closed their doors (at least for the time being), "Opening Weekend" celebrates one of the many things we’d all love to be doing right now - going to the movies on a Friday night with our friends... Every week, Jason O'Connell, Fred Berman, and Dan Matisa (best friends, professional actors, and self-professed movie geeks) look back at a different opening weekend from the last 40 years, and bask in the warm, nostalgic, popcorn-buttery glow of going to the movies.
