595. Escape from the Multicurse - Spider-Man: No Way Home

Check out our movie’s crowdfunding page and consider dropping some coin on our largest ambition YET: https://seedandspark.com/fund/papa-bear Our three co-hosts are stuck in the multiverse and need to get back to their home universe. Clearly, the only way to do that is to explore our cultural obsession with multiverses, alternate timelines and parallel worlds, and tie it all into a conversation about post-modern art, pop culture, and the lessons these stories teach us. Also, each episode, one of them is an asshole who will probably sabotage the whole thing. This week we discuss 2021’s Spider-man: No Way Home!
