We kick off our Spider-Man: Brand New Day coverage by taking a look back at how we reacted to our first theater experience for No Way Home (which currently sits inside our MCU top 10).

Our journey has led us all the way to Spider-Man: No Way Home, and we have finally made it! After seeing the film a bit early, we sat down and recorded almost two hours of our initial reactions. And man, what a blast it was. Do not listen to this episode until you have seen the movie. But once you have seen it, let's chat!

It's been nearly seven years since there was a new Star Wars film in theaters and Mandalorian and Grogu puts an end to that cinematic drought. 

For the first 19 minutes of today's episode, Kyle discusses the issues he sees in the Star Wars universe and community. After that, Kyle shares his initial reactions to "Mandalorian and Grogu" and everything that works with the film and the stuff that didn't.
