STF Episode 9 - "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" & "Godzilla"

With the summer movie season already upon us, there's a lot to talk about! Cesar Alejandro from Film Smash joins me to discuss Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Gareth Edwards' Godzilla -- two films with so much riding on their nine-figure budgets that it's turning their respective directors prematurely gray.

This was a great conversation; even though we mostly agree on Godzilla, I was much tougher on Spider-Man than Cesar. Below is a breakdown of the content, just in case you want to avoid the spoiler-filled portions. This episode clocked in at just over 90 minutes, which is where I'd like to keep these as we move forward. Enjoy!

00:00:00 Introduction
00:01:26 Maryland Film Festival
00:13:47 The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (Heavy Spoilers!)
00:48:02 Godzilla (Light Spoilers)
01:22:37 Wrap-Up includes talking about the new X-Men and Eat Drink Man Woman

One other thing to note: During our discussion about my time at the Maryland Film Festival, I forgot to mention that you should look into their Friends of the Festival program. This is a year-round membership that gives you access to special screenings, VIP ticketing, discounts on MFF merchandise, and more! Definitely check it out if you live in the Maryland/D.C. area.
