In the words of Paul Francis Webster and Bob Harris in the iconic cartoon theme song, “Look out! Here comes the Spider-Man!” Folks, we hope you like web-slingers, because the Cinephile Hissy Fit podcast, sponsored and supported by the Ruminations Radio Network, begins a special retrospective series leading up to the big holiday blockbuster that everyone has been waiting for.

This first hearty conversation covers the Tobey Maguire/Sam Raimi trio of films from the 00s. We have three very divergent opinions, so come for the shared challenge and tirade and stay for the mutual love and respect for the fun movies encapsulate. Enjoy our podcast!
