In this comprehensive television review and reaction, Greg, Coy, and Aaron break down the gritty Great Depression-era world of an aging, weary hero. We unpack the stellar performances of the incredible main cast, including Nicolas Cage (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Longlegs) as the cynical, down-on-his-luck private investigator Ben Reilly, Lamorne Morris (New Girl, Fargo) as the sharp, ambitious Daily Bugle reporter Robbie Robertson, and Brendan Gleeson (The Banshees of Inisherin, Braveheart) as the intimidating Irish mob boss Silvermane.
Our hosts react to all the gorgeous German expressionism aesthetics, brilliant split-diopter shots, and sharp dialogue that make this alternate universe look and feel incredibly authentic. We dissect the shocking, explosive death of Addison the Molten Man, the alluring introduction of lounge singer Cat Hardy at the Alcove, and the terrifying body-horror sand transformations of Flint Marko. We also dive into Ben Reilly’s hilarious undercover maintenance-man sequence to reclaim his iconic suit from his old apartment, his organic web-shooting tactics, and the genius final act where he completely outsmarts the dirty henchman Winston by tracking Silvermane’s marked currency. From the haunting sound design to the deep personal connections tying these classic villains to a shared wartime past, this three-episode premiere gives our hosts an absolute web of mystery to unpack.
As we continue our complete television retrospective marathons, we are evaluating the stylized pacing, narrative risks, and cinematic weight of this incredible pulpy detective thriller.

@RabbiSteve1: This was a great reaction from all three of you, both during and after. I am loving this show. I’m an episode ahead of you. And it gets better and better with each episode. Coy, you have never seen CHINATOWN?!? You owe it to yourself to do so. And especially since you are watching this. You might even decide to do this as a reaction video. It is arguably the greatest of the “Neo-noirs” (anything noirish, post 1960). As with most Neo-noir, it’s in color and it’s one of the most beautifully shot Neo-noirs ever. And there are many references to it in SPIDER-NOIR. Specifically, his first client here hiring him to get photos of his wife cheating. That’s right out of the beginning of CHINATOWN. I think you will really like it. And it’s one of the best and more subtle performances Jack Nicholson.And you might find it valuable to invest in more both classic noir (eg OUT OF THE PAST, THE BIG SLEEP, THE MALTESE FALCON, DOUBLE INDEMNITY, DETOUR, THE HITCHHIKER, TOUCH OF EVIL, MURDER MY SWEET, to name just a few. And check out KING CREOLE, arguably the best Elvis movie ever and maybe the only noir musical. Directed by the great Michael Curtiz, who directed about 180 movies, including CASABLANCA, and THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN) and Neo-noir (eg POINT BLANK, CHINATOWN, THE LONG GOODBYE, NIGHT MOVES, NARROW MARGIN [which is a “train noir”, and a remake of another classic, THE NARROW MARGIN], TO LIVE AND DIE IN LA, BODY HEAT, and many more).I know that your main thing is superheroes and comics, but it’s good for those of you who make your living doing this, or at least part of it, to get more cineliterate, with some of the genres that are so important to cinema history, such as noir and Westerns (which themselves are such a strong part of American literature, comic books, and especially movie and tv history). It’s just a suggestion and I get it if you just can’t find the time or the motivation. But I think it’s good to become more familiar with that stuff.
@papahamdrew: 28:22 I don’t know how you’re still confused. Ben literally said in the first episode that he “can see the lights from Jersey” which borders NYC, and the Empire State building and Chrysler building are both visible. How you didn’t know this was NYC till now is mind boggling. Even the opening scene swinging between buildings. LA looked nothing like that in the 1930s, even having a height requirements on buildings. I swear these guys never pay attention, only looking for comic references and trying to act like big critics but can’t even notice the setting 💀
@mikedignum1868: A great show i binged it in B&W, got to bed at 4am. So the great depression was 29-39 and Ben was probably in his 30s during World War I. So, the Spider is in his late 40s to 50s? Which explains Ben's world weary attatude and physicality, but Spidey is very flexible and agile, which needs explaining. Also, why the name change from the Spider-verse movie…is this another universe from that Spider-Noir Peter Parker?
