“Her character…it’s like she’s an alien!” - Eric, on Cassie Webb
On the first episode of 2025, we’re kicking off a month of talking about movies we saw last year— good, bad and otherwise— and it all starts with, you guessed it, Madame Web! Why is every single performance in this film so stiff? How are so many previous draft ideas still stuck in the final product? Why can’t these girls get their powers in this movie so something can actually happen? And in this movie, seriously asking here, is Cassie Webb supposed to be an actual space alien? PLUS: A baby shower is never just a BBQ, folks!
Madame Web stars Dakota Johnson, Sydney Sweeney, Isabela Merced, Celeste O’Connor, Tahar Rahim, Emma Roberts, Adam Scott, Kerry Bishé, and Mike Epps as O’Neil; directed by S.J. Clarkson.
