On this week’s episodes of Cinema Royale, we’re delving into the Spider-Verse! Not the good Spider-Verse of Sony’s animated Miles Morales movies. But the crappy Spider-Verse where Madame Web dwells alongside Morbius and Venom 2 and probably Kraven the Hunter. Yes, we’re talking Madame Web with my home Chris Bumbray of Joblo.com! We need to hash out how Sony got this so damn wrong!? And we also start talking about how terrible the start to 2024 has been, and some other crap movies on the way.
In the second episode, my partner in crime Tim Gordon joins me to lend his expertise on Bob Marley: One Love, the musical biopic on the legendary reggae star. Why has the film received so much backlash from longtime Marley fans? We talk about the choice that all filmmakers must make when doing a biopic on a music superstar. Do you work with the estate and get their cooperation, in exchange for a sanitized subject? Or do you go it alone and possibly have an unauthorized, hard-hitting movie with musical rights and little outside cooperation? It’s a tough call, but one that has needed to be made many times recently.
All of this and more on a new episode of Cinema Royale!
