We also talk about poor film endings and what we find scary. Because it's the spooky…

We've had a bit of a lack of superhero podcasts this year so we're gonna tackle the Venom films which aren't even really superhero films so it barely even counts. Anyway, look forward to our impressions of the song and just general Spider-Man chatter.โดย William Fletcher
