Amazing Spiderman 1 and 2, or Spiderman Flavored Spiderman

A little catch-up two for one episode as Stu and Nicole revisit Marc Webb's Andrew Garfield starring "Amazing Spiderman" films, the movies so bad they convinced Sony to bend knee to the Disney-Marvel imperium. We talk about how Marc Webb turned Peter Parker into a self-insert artsy film kid, how Garfield and Emma Stone have chemistry despite dating IRL, the complete failure of the JJ Abrams esque 'puzzle box' parent plot, how stretching out the origin story into being an hour long doesn't add depth, the madness of casting swaggiest-man-alive Jamie Foxx as a chris-chan type character, Nicole's lust for sickly and dying men, the comical bathos of Gwen Stacy and her cop-dad Denis Leary, and so much more! These movies really are amazing...ly bad! But this episode is good.
