The Nose On The Supposed Joys Of Summer, The Future Of Streaming TV, And 'Spider-Man: Far From Home'

Spider-Man: Far From Home is the 23rd feature film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the final entry in its Infinity Saga. It is the 11th and final film in the MCU's Phase Three, even though everybody thought it'd probably be the first part of Phase Four, and now nobody really knows what Phase Four will start with.

I haven't entirely understood anything I've written so far, but I do get this bit: There won't be another Marvel movie for ten whole months -- all the way until next May.

Far From Home is the eighth Spider-Man movie across four different series, and it's at least the third one the Nose has covered (following Homecoming and Into the Spider-Verse).

Some other stuff that happened this week, give or take:

GUESTS:

  • Taneisha Duggan - Producing associate at TheaterWorks
  • Jacques Lamarre - A playwright, and director of client services at Buzz Engine
  • Bill Yousman - Professor of Media Studies at Sacred Heart University
