## Resource

... according to Letterboxd, anyway, but your pals at Marvelous! aren't quite so sanguine. From Phil Lord's tyrannical rule of production to the tedium of infinite Spiders-Men and the so-facile-it-might-be-accidental queer representation — we dig into all the things that keep this (sometimes good) film from achieving the greatness its reputation implies. For this episode we relied especially on the following articles: Spider-Verse Artists Say Working on the Sequel Was ‘Death by a Thousand Paper Cuts’ by Chris Lee Get Real! Relatability on Demand by Matt Purets, Alisha Hines, and Yalda T. Uhls Laborious Aesthetics: Visible and Invisible Labor in the Spider-Verse franchise by Jordan Schonig An extra special thanks to our $10 Executive Producers: JetChiclete, GalaxyPeaBrain, squishward, JayJeffrey, Walt Lewellyn of The Black Casebook, Tropical Doves, jprestonpoole, Lohik, bernventers, Owen2 and Ronnie Gardocki.
