The Information Place

This month's issue of the Spinner Rack has one singular focus: Spider-man: Brand New Day! If you want to stay spoiler-free make sure to watch the film first before coming back to hear Jonathan and Skye's in depth review. From their feelings on the cast of characters, to delighting in the small details, to discussing why this might be the movie that lures Skye back to the MCU for the first time in over a decade, they're talking about it all. And for the disappointed DC fans, keep an eye out for a special Batman Day episode later this month!
