Have you ever felt like time wasn't on your side? In Derrick's final pick for the podcast (and our final episode), we analyze the divisive superhero spectacle/drama THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2. Derrick shares what he loves about this misunderstood film, and what his re-editing of it says about him. We discuss the Narrative Therapy Landscapes of Action & Identity, Peter Parker's struggle to balance his relationships with his entrepreneurial endeavor as Spider-Man, and how to hold onto hope when we fail. We also reflect on Derrick's journey throughout the podcast, including insights about his relationships with his films, while discovering the common thread that ties them all together.

Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this podcast journey! Though this podcast is coming to an end (for now), our stories aren't over, and neither is yours! Stay connected with Derrick on Instagram @allthingsnarrative

In the words of Gwen Stacy:

"I know it feels like we're saying goodbye, but we will carry a piece of each other into everything that we do next, to remind us of who we are, and of who we're meant to be.”
