Thanks for the tip on the Spidey-versy. I had the privilege of working on the marketing of Spiderman II back in my McCann days when we were SONY Pictures media agency. It too broke all records at the time and Marvel was indeed ignorant back then of what they were sitting on beyond comic books. This time around, SONY went above and beyond Into the Spiderverse (which had previously become my favorite animated feature) and did one better with Across the Spider Verse - just an amazing tour de force of animation/glitchart/visual EFX, etc etc... although the storyline itself can be debated vs the last one, it was visually at a whole other level. One can only wonder what level Generative AI will take the next one to? Thanks for the podcast backstory tip. Hope you had a great Father's Day. Know you're a great Dad.

Thanks for reading, Alan, and for the Spidey lore! Yes, I had a great Dad's Day, and I hope you did two with your daughters and sons. I'll be curious as to your hot take on The Flash, which my son and I saw yesterday. It was really good! I'm a bit tired of multi-verse stories after Dr. Strange 2, EEAAO, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and now The Flash... although of course I'm in for Spider-Verse III...

As your father, I can vouch for the accuracy of your comments on being a Dad. It keeps changing and also keeps getting better. You and your brother are my most precious asserts, Akon with my wife, your mother. I am a physician and musician, but being a Dad (and granddad) have made me a humanist and complete human being. Thanks.

Dad
