On Episode 156 of The Film ‘89 Podcast, Neil and Skye are doing something they’ve not done for several years, they’re reviewing a new comic book movie. What was once a regular thing on Film ‘89 tailed off with the downturn in quality of the Marvel Cinematic Universe post Avengers: Endgame, with one exception, 2021’s Sony Pictures collaboration, Spider-Man: No Way Home, arguably the last great entry in the MCU. But after 5 long years, Tom Holland is back as everyone’s favourite web-slinging crime fighter in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. In the aftermath of No Way Home, Peter Parker has spent the last few years successfully fighting crime and garnering public support and even working alongside the police, but at the expense of his personal life now that everyone’s memories of Peter Parker being Spider-Man have been wiped, including that of his best friend, Ned and girlfriend, MJ. Already a huge commercial success in the first week following its release, Brand New Day just might be the film that reignites Neil and Skye’s love of and enthusiasm for comic book movies. So tune in to hear their in-depth and spoiler-filled review of a film that’s on course to become the most successful film of 2026 and one beloved by audiences and critics alike.
