Groundhog Day on Groundhog Day? Are we in a time loop? Scott and A become gods (but not the god) as they discuss this 1993 classic, and the hordes of rodent-like movies “inspired” by it.

Don’t see a “p […]

Spider — yes I suppose that’s a logical answer based on the context of the story we saw. Would have been helpful, though, if there were any other alternate dimension creatures other than Spider-People to provide what should have been effortless establishment of that plot thread.

Hey Scott & A,

Great review, I loved the movie too. I didn’t agree with a couple of your quibbles though Scott, so here’s my attempt at a no-prize. *spoilers*

1) The Radioactive Spider that bit Miles came out of nowhere.

When the spider dies you can see it glitching like the other alternative dimensional arrivals. Since the subway station is right beside the Kingpin’s lab (as Mile’s uncle works there) it seems likely that the spider arrived from another dimension.

2) Miles doesn’t sense that Gwen Stacey is another Spider person.

Actually, he does. He becomes crazy nervous and sweaty around her. He puts it down to “puberty” but it’s really his Spider-Sense going off, and he has no idea at this point what’s going on.

Other than that, a fine review.

  Gwen — Now hold on there, sizzle-chest … when he sees Dying Peter Parker, they both say “you’re like me.” Do they not? Miles knows that Peter is like him. Miles’ spider sense goes off, as does Peter’s. How can Miles know that and be oblivious to Gwen, when Gwen shows the exact same “you’re like me” power later in the movie?

Now, could there be an alternative universe where another Oscorp (and/or insert random made-up out-of-context corp here because dimensions) was working on a spider project? Sure.

In the movie, where did you see any indication that any Oscorp in any dimension was working on spider technology “years ago”? Did I miss that bit?
