Last week, we were not only fortunate enough to be in New York City for Comic Con but we were joined by our podcast brothers-in-arms, Christopher and Tristan Ham of the Get Your Shinebox  podcast! While we were all together, we thought it would be a good idea to record an episode and that's just what we did.

This week, we're kicking off our annual "series of 4s" where, in honor of May the 4th, we take a look at the (usually bad) 4th entry in a film franchise. This week, we're looking at yet another of SONY's abysmal attempts to hang on to their Spider-Man rights by giving us, yet another Spider-Man villain film that does not feature Spider-Man (after Venoms 1 & 2, and Morbius)! It's boring, it makes no sense and no one asked for it (hey that could be the title of OUR autobigraphy!) so, here...
