830: Sad Man in a Van

Buy some flowers and get ready to profess your feelings—we’re here to talk about “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” in which Tom Holland’s Peter gets to be a sad sack who is saving New York while his personal life has fallen completely apart. There are surprising character reveals, unsurprising character twists (well, at least Peter was surprised), interesting guest-star choices, and a lot of themes involving the dangers of letting yourself become isolated.

"Spider-Man: Brand New Day"

Jason Snell with James Thomson, Moisés Chiullán and Ben Rice McCarthy
