This week on the InSession Film Podcast, we discuss all of the good and the bad with this year’s Critics Choice nominations! We also talk about the Sony Spider-Man spin-off universe and what direction they should take next.

– Box Office / Bad Marketing (2:36)
We open the show this week by talking about last weekend’s box office, and you won’t believe which two films topped the charts once again. Also, it’s not as if Kraven was ever going to do well, but still, those opening numbers are dreadful. Adjacent to the box office, we talked about Hollywood’s dubious marketing and how that’s led to some films becoming big disappointments. 

– Sony’s Spider-Man Spin-Offs (28:35)
Recently it was announced that Sony was ending its Spider-Man spin-offs universe, putting them into some sort of limbo state for the moment. We talk about what they could do next and the opportunity to make a gazillion dollars if they just follow our blueprint. Given where things are at the moment, audiences are receptive to multiple narratives happening simultaneously.

– Critics Choice Nominations (58:14)
The Critics Choice nominations dropped last week, and we wanted to give our thoughts on what this year’s crop looks like as the awards race continues to build. The reputation of Critics Choice is that of an Oscars predictor, which is a bit odd given how similar a lot of the nominees are to other groups and guilds. There are some great nominees this year. But as usual, there are others that are very questionable. Either way, plenty to discuss here.
