Look out wallcrawler fans! Today, The Cinematic Schematic will web-sling through the multiverse and into a review conversation covering this year’s biggest film to date, Spider-Man: No Way Home, with special guests Chelsea Ratterman from Geek Girl Features and GoodTrash Media’s Arthur Gordon.



Tom Holland returns as Spider-Man/Peter Parker for the sixth time in his third standalone film appearance in No Way Home. His latest outing picks up right where 2019’s Spider-Man: Far From Home left off. Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal) has revealed Parker’s identity to the world via J. Jonah Jameson’s(J.K. Simmons) The Daily Bugle. Peter and his best friend Ned(Jacob Batalon) and girlfriend MJ(Zendaya) quickly learn that being associated with Spider-Man has consequences that may endanger their chances to get into their dream university, MIT.



To try and make things right, Parker reaches out to Dr. Strange(Benedict Cumberbatch) and requests he cast a spell so that everyone forgets his secret identity. When the spell goes awry, Spider-Man and his friends are forced to confront a few unwelcome visitors in their universe.



Thanks to unique factors from the pandemic along with some bonafide juicy marketing featuring past villains like Doc Ock(Alfred Molina), Green Goblin(Willem Dafoe), and Electro(Jamie Foxx), the film has already sent the box office to Asgard and back, coming in #2 of all time at $260 million (domestic) and second only to 2019’s Avengers: Endgame.



With all of the nostalgia-charged cameos and Easter eggs, is Spider-Man: No Way Home an organic stroke of cross-multiverse storytelling or fanciful fan service? Tune into our full-length review to get our perspective.



Spider-Man: No Way Home is now playing only in theaters.
