MCU REVIEW: Spider-Man Homecoming

Episode 48 - Spider-Man: Homecoming Movie Review

So this week it feels like we have gotten lost in time, somewhat.  We are talking about a Spider-Man movie, but NOT the $120 million dollar opening weekend blockbuster that just released.  That comes later!  This week we are heading to the first MCU Spidey movie from 2016 – Homecoming starring Tom Holland!
