Spider-Man (2002 Film) | KnockBack: The Retro and Nostalgia Podcast Episode 179

Some 20 years removed from the release of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man, it's easy to get lost in the weeds. After all, we are absolutely inundated with superhero media today, particularly from Marvel, whether it's movies, TV shows, and even video games. But back in 2002, Spider-Man's 21st century film debut was both quaint and extraordinary. On one hand, it's wild to think about how important this particular movie is to the landscape that would come. On the other hand, it's fun to think about what may have happened if it wasn't made at all, and if it wasn't such a rousing success. So let's chat about Toby Maguire's Peter Parker, Kirsten Dunst's MJ, and the true star of the show: Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin. And no matter what you do, please don't cause the deaths of countless innocents in selfish battle again and again and again until we're both dead!

You know I'm something of a scientist myself.

Can’t wait to watch this episode. This is the movie that made me a Spider-Man fan as a kid.

Wanted to finish this before commenting - Spiderman the DVD ranks #3 of highest sales of that medium, at 19.5 Units sold with a revenue of $565 Million. I can only imagine from the Sony perspective back then the best selling DVD and the PS2 being the vast majority of Americans entry into the DVD Realm.

"You never see Bruce Wayne struggling as an oprhan" I know you specifically said in film but Colin maybe go watch Gotham. We get to see Bruce get orphaned at the age of 12 and watch him grow up throughout 5 seasons. The show's not about him but he is a central character.

And they say that a hero could save us... I'm not gonna stand here and wait. I'll hold on to the wings of the eagles, Watch as we all fly away. Ahhaaaa.

Side tangent from me, someone who is old as Colin (36) I grew up watching that old wrestling and it was crap (early 90s), Macho Man is awesome but shit got dumb during that time you guys are talking about in wrestling. The Attitude era was and still stands as the best time in pro entertainment wrestling, shit went over the top during that time. It seemed real at the time as a kid watching crazy things go down on Mondays. NWO vs WCW, DX, The Rock, Stone Cold come to prominence l, Mankind and Undertaker. Mr. McMahon becoming a heel. Great shit back in the late 1990s early 2000s. Macho Man, was still here or there wrestling but he was old by then, as the likes of other wrestlers you guys mentioned. Over the top performance by Bonesaw, it reminded me of those promos for Slimjims.
