Opinions fly free and fast as we read some awesome emails on the Chaikin controversy! Also, Dave & Stew talk impressive Spidey: Homecoming box office numbers, and ask why do so many comic fans hate themselves, lost in some internal civil war without end? Is Cindy Moon aka Silk in Homecoming? What scenes featuring the lovely Marisa Tomei were cut from the movie? We talk Frank Darabont and the ongoing lawsuit, we talk Matt Reeves dumping Batfleck’s script and pursuing his own vision. Rumours of Wonder Woman in the 1980’s, Daniel Craig is BACK as Bond, price unknown, and Squirrel Girl is HIRED. Meanwhile, Kermit has been FIRED and the boys go back and forth on corporate overlords and compensation for comic book creators. Jay Z turns up, cause there ain’t no love in the heart of the city!
