Struggling to find his place in the world while juggling school and family, Brooklyn teenager Miles Morales is unexpectedly bitten by a radioactive spider and develops unfathomable powers just like the one and only Spider-Man. While wrestling with the implications of his new abilities, Miles discovers a super collider created by the madman Wilson "Kingpin" Fisk, causing others from across the Spider-Verse to be inadvertently transported to his dimension.

With great power comes great responsibility but we won’t give you that while you’re glitching out. Georgia’s final selection of 2020 brings us the animated masterpiece Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse.  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Liam, Ellie, & Georgia – and our very special guest (and Halloween poll ruiner) Ethan -  as we watch a film that is an assault on the senses (in both the positive and negative senses). We're throwing our tag around Brooklyn in our 38th episode as we discuss:

  • The original idea for this film and how very different a film this could have been
  • The painstaking detail that went into animating this film
  • We discuss how the filmmakers were able to make us care about 5 separate relationships in this film
  • We're pretty sure Ethan makes up a few Spider-Men in his research
  • We all wax poetic about the score and animation
  • Ian learns what a "Post Malone" is
  • We once again learn about a villain who just doesn't learn the order in which you kill the heroes in
  • We try and keep up with the amount of Easter eggs in this film
  • Somebody has to fess up that they fell asleep watching the film
  • We debate whether execution of technical elements makes up for story shortcomings
  • We determine which of the Spider-Men could have stayed out of the Spider-Verse
  • Whether or not Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse is the Best Film Ever.
