Due to copyright issues I had to trim out a section containing an interview with 'Macho Man' Randy Savage. Apologies for the jump cut, that will be the last time I use any footage from the WWE. I've also faced a ton of other copyright claims with this video, preventing money from being made 😞 We press on...

damn right, this trilogy deserves all the recognition it gets my childhood im proud of

[@AdrianUhrich13]

I remember I was like 7 and my mom got me the trilogy on dvd and I rewatched them so many times that now the first one is scratched and stops playing makes me sad

[@estoulia9303]

those "horrible yellow eyes" moments are hilarious

[@rostifanatic]

Also fun fact: The Green Goblin interrogating JJ was completely unnecessary, as Peter Parker was credited under the newspaper pictures... but you may argue that because his goblin side took over, goblins cannot read, thus making the movie coherent :)

[@masterzombie161]

Lol holy shit I never even thought of that

These videos give me the same experience as like being at a bar with my buddy and him describing a movie he just watched to me, very entertaining while I get shitfaced.

“Those horrible yellow eyes!” Is the funniest thing rn

[@locrpg]

IMO JJ refusing to give up Peter isn't about altruism or caring about Peter. It's 100% JJ displaying his integrity as a journalist. Protecting sources is one of the few bastions of integrity journalists in the US are not willing to destroy for money or clout. It's kind of like, "we don't negotiate with terrorists." Since the journalists know if they give up a source, no one else will come forward as an anonymous source, they protect sources dearly. JJ, for better or worse, is a paragon of US Journalism ideals - he would rather DIE than risk sources not coming forward in the future to give leads to his paper. It's a detail I LOVE from this script 😊

[@davidfeltheim2501]

The whole "you mess with one of us you mess with all of us" is very much a moment of New York pride after the devastation the city felt after 9/11 just one year prior to the first Spider-Man. It makes me happy to see superheroes still thematically standing up for the every man in the modern world.

[@kingstongaming1619]

yeah i kinda hate that he shat on the scene because it is important

[@Howesenberg]

@kingstongaming1619 I meant no offence, without context it's a bit of a goofy scene in my opinion, with context I understand why it was included but I didn't know until people commented. I'm not here to offend anyone.

[@Baboonmomma]

Dude I haven’t laughed this hard in a long time! This was one of the best videos I’ve ever seen. Even though these movies are iconic and they were my favorite movies growing up, and still now, it’s still nice to laugh at both what makes them great and their imperfections. Plus your commentary and edits are pure gold

[@Howesenberg]

Thank you very much, I love hearing this kind of feedback makes the effort worthwhile

The ad break gap at 23:43 is my fav part of the video.

[@Howesenberg]

All the ad breaks are my favourite part

[@nothingman7163]

These films had something that so few movies understand and do nowadays, they were unapologetically authentic and genuine. They believed and created a world that didn’t poke fun at or acknowledge their campiness like “oh look how quirky we are” with 4th wall breaks, truly beautiful to behold.

[@Brian-oy1bd]

Loved the vid man you deserve so much more

[@Groggle7141]

20:54 This movie was released in 2002, a year after the 9/11 attacks in New York City. This scene was showing New York solidarity in a time where it was appreciated.

[@Coookiiiiiiee]

THIS WAS SO GOOD I LOVE YOU DUDE

[@tagus100]

One of the best things about these movies are the extras. Take any scene and you will see extras saying or doing wacky shit. It’s hilarious! Can’t wait to see what else you’ve got planned for 2024 Mr Howesenberg!

Thanks Tagus, good to see you again

I was sorry to hear about an underwhelming response to your previous J.Park recap. I thought it was outstanding. As was this Spiderman recap video. I've even watched your 177 episodes recap of TWD series multiple times after completion. Everytime I hear your voice, I'm instantly reminded of Glenn Rhea spaghetti & meatballs. & I think your personal touch on the E.Dead franchise would be another hoot. I'm in. Ready & waiting...

[@Howesenberg]

I really appreciate the kind words, I'm hopeful videos like the JP one will be sleeper hits in that they grow over time with a spike in interest for the release of the new movie. We shall see, all I can do is hope and learn from the experience.

[@quietdignityandgrace]

I saw all 3 in theater. In part 2 there is a throw away line about the Symbiot being discovered by Astronaut Boy. Nothing. Wait for 3? Also the breakup scene in the park... Peter offers her flowers. "Peonies?" From the 3rd row: "You sick bastard the bathrooms are right over there. No wonder she's leaving you!" I make my own fun.

15:00 Definitely his selfless side, he's never let harm come to his workers for his orders. He sent them out to take those pictures so it would be wrong for him to point the finger at Pete when he's just a kid trying to make a few bucks in Jonah's mind.
