Episode 3: Spider-Man 2 (2004)

We're joined by our first guest, our editor, and friend Kate Sánchez, as we discuss the 2004 classic, Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2. How does this film artfully reiterate the message of "With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility" for Peter Parker as he doubts his calling as Spider-Man? Why is this film so good at depicting Aunt May and Peter's economic struggles? What do we make of Mary Jane's development and her potential relationship with Peter? Why is Alfred Molina's Doctor Octopus such an iconic cinematic villain, especially with the horror elements Raimi brings in? Find out all of that and why we think this film is a great entryway into Spider-Fandom! We are a proud member of the But Why Tho? Podcast Network.
