In this episode on The Amazing Spider-Man:
Kris & Amy discuss The Amazing Spider-Man, the first of the two Garfield Spidey movies. Even as they praise the performances, the Madames take some issue with the characters & relationships. They also explore their conflicting feelings regarding women’s representation. And they analyze the movie’s villain problem.
The Amazing Spider-Man falls outside the MCU proper. It stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Martin Sheen, Sally Field, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, and Irrfan Khan.
