Spiderman: Brand New Day

In this episode, we discuss what sets Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026) apart from past Spidey projects, its place in the broader Marvel Cinematic Universe, and why glowing test screening reactions are driving big pre-purchase ticket sales.

We also dive deep into the theme of evolution—both as a creative tool to refresh Peter Parker’s character and as a narrative mechanism to introduce the X-Men into the MCU. Finally, we tackle a heavier topic: how the concept of evolution can sometimes feel like a stumbling block for people of faith. Matt candidly shares his own faith journey and recommends his favorite book about integrating scientific theory with personal belief.
