In this episode, Eric swings through three eras of Spider-Man and the three actors who defined them: Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland.

This isn’t a “who’s best” debate. It’s a character study — why Tobey still feels like the heart of Peter Parker, why Andrew’s electric, grief-soaked Spider-Man lives in our ribs, and why Tom Holland’s MCU Spidey might be the most complete journey we’ve seen so far.

From Uncle Ben’s unfinished conversation in the Raimi trilogy, to Gwen’s haunting fall in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, to the lonely, sacrificial reset of No Way Home, Eric follows how each Spider-Man carries his own scars… and how their crossover feels less like fan service and more like destiny.

Three Spider-Men. Three unfinished stories. One legacy that refuses to fade.
