The Buds dodge another music review episode like Spoderman might dodge the wrathful segmented tail of one Scorpion, in order to review the latest MCU/Sony Spidey endeavor SPIDER-MAN BRAND NEW DAY. They catch up on where they're at with the MCU at large and how Tom Holland's Spidey stacks up in the grand canon of live action Spoders. Then they dive deep into the movie, reviewing every little choice made by every little character. That's what you want from the Buds, and with great podcast reach comes great responsibility to do more podcasts!
