Yeah, it’s late. Like, really late. We get it. Let’s maybe move on?
OK fine here’s what happened.
We went to see this movie opening day, then went back to see it a second time (in IMAX. Again.) and then recorded this episode a couple days later. We were on it.
And then I (Jordan) got reeeeeaaaaalllly busy. Too busy. Work, weddings, birthdays, travel, blah blah blah. This item on my to-do list:
Edit and publish spiderman episode
got bumped day after day after day, until oh crap it’s been more than a month.
Which is really an unconscionable misstep on my part, because holy crap was this movie fantastic. We loved it so much that it almost ruins the episode, which is too long, too hyperbolic, and too scattered.
But I guess that what it’s like to be in love.
If you are also in love with this movie, join us! You’ll fit right in.

PS don’t be surprised if you see a couple more episodes drop real soon, here. There are like three movies we want to cover this month. At least. What a summer. What they call a good problem.
