Filmspotting #159: Spider-Man 3 / Passion of Joan of Arc / Top 5 Most Anticipated Summer Movies

May 3: Adam and Sam kick off the 2007 summer movie season with a look at this year's entry in the superhero franchise sweepstakes: Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3. After "Batman Begins" and "Superman Returns" failed to meet perhaps unrealistic -- and certainly nostalgia-fueled -- expectations, Adam and Sam approach the third Spider-Man movie with cautious enthusiasm. With three villains making his Spidey-sense work overtime, the question is not whether Spidey can handle it, but whether the audience can.

Also on the show: Massacre Theatre, Listener Feedback, the sixth and final film in Filmspotting's Silent Movies Marathon, Carl Theodor Dreyer's "The Passion of Joan of Arc" and Adam and Sam share their Top 5 Most Anticipated Summer Movies.

Music by Tim Fite from his new album "Over The Counter Culture," which you can download for free at timfite.com.
