KnockBack, Episode 222: Spider-Man 2
Added 2022-05-09 16:00:08 +0000 UTCAt first blush, Sam Raimi wasn't a natural fit to direct a Spider-Man film, and yet his 2002 entry into the series did awesome at the box office and is much-beloved to this day. Two years later, he -- along with Tobey Mcguire, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, and others -- delivered Spider-Man 2, an even better film than the original that builds wonderfully on its themes, characters, and world. Spider-Man 2 also introduces an iconic villain in the form of Alfred Molina's Dr. Octopus, who many Spidey fans were glad to see reemerge, at least in passing, in the MCU. Made for an exorbitant amount of money even then ($200 million) and earning an obscene amount of profit (some four times its cost), Spider-Man 2 is still one of the most beloved superhero films ever, even if it hails from an era when the genre wasn't so well-worn and readily-accepted. So join us as we gush over and celebrate Spider-Man 2, and remember: With great power comes great responsibility... fair or not.

Doctor octopus loses control of his arms because the chip behind his neck that keeps him in control got fried.

2022-05-10 18:31:51 +0000 UTC'Was the glass mercury rectal thermometer the same one that went in our mouth?' I instantly remembered that one scene from the original Madagascar movie. Edit: Zebra Marty got thermometer for birthday. He puts it in his mouth and then giraffe Melman tells him that it used to be his rectal thermometer :D

2022-05-10 02:40:13 +0000 UTCColin Moriarty as Captain Poop Pants? I think he gets his powers from having a mercury thermometer shoved up his ass too many times.

2022-05-09 21:24:22 +0000 UTCI almost died listening to the opening. There should really be a warning at the beginning. Absolute gold. Thank you Moriarty bros.

2022-05-09 16:52:02 +0000 UTCDoes anybody think it would be pretty cool to see a fourth Spider-Man movie in the Sam Raimi Universe where the events of the end of the recent Spider-Man movie. We get to see Peter Parker and Doc Ock and Osborn work together in a team it may be to fight like an alien threat or something like that. I think something like that would be extremely cool. And it would make a lot of money but I don't think it will actually get made. But however I do have a little bit of Hope because Sam Ramey did direct the doctor strange movie and you know the old saying that directors would say one for the studio and one for me.
