End Credits #301 - June 14, 2023 (Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse)

This week on End Credits, we're going in several different directions. It's almost like there's more than one of us, or perhaps there should be. Speaking of multiplicity, the movie we're reviewing this week is Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, which features a spider-cast of thousands, and since we're talking about legends, we're going to take a closer look at another franchise.

This Wednesday, June 14, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss:

Run the Series: Raiders of the Lost Ark. At the end of the month, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny will be released in theatres everywhere. To mark the occasion, we're going to spend the next several weeks of the show re-visiting the first four movies in the series, starting with the 1981 original Raiders of the Lost Ark. Does Raiders still hold up as one of the greatest adventure films ever, and how does it influence us today? We'll take another look.

REVIEW: Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023). It's been five years since Miles Morales took his first big screen spin as the Amazing Spider-Man in Into the Spider-Verse. In the sequel, Miles returns, and so do many of his spider-friends. In fact, you might say all the Spider-Men, and Women, turn up in Across the Spider-Verse as Miles struggles to understand and accept his place in the panoply of Spider-People from across the multi-verse. This sequel has already done some major bank at the box office, but does it satisfy every Spider-fan in this universe?

End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
