Ken Plume -- author, filmmaker, and longtime host of A Bit of a Chat with Ken Plume (podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-bit-of-a-chat-…) -- joins us to talk about the movie that everyone seems to be talking about. Is it a great Spider-Man movie, or the greatest Spider-Man movie? Then, we answer a Hotline call (yes, we still take those! (maximumfun.org/hotline)) about forbidden films of our youths.
