Spider-Noir | Watching Now

About this episode

The episode discusses the Amazon Prime show Spider-Noir and its characters, including the challenges faced by Ben Reilly.

We enter the Sony Spider-Verse once again to catch up with Ben Reilly, also known as Spider-Noir. It’s been 5 years since Reilly donned the Spider mask, and his Private Investigator business is going under. But all that is about to change when a troublesome dame walks through the door. Join Couch Soup contributors Thomas Richards, Iain McParland, and Lily K for Watching Now: Spider-Noir, discussing the Amazon Prime show’s ups and downs. Did we watch it in Black and White or True Color? How do we feel about this alternate universe Spidey? Are the villains too one-note to care about, and should we be crying over their demise? And, will Nic Cage go full on Nic Cage?!?!
