THE FANDOM ZONE 358: "The Man in the Mask" Is Up!

 
"I'm not in the mood to talk to The Spider. The truth is, he's kind of hard to talk to, especially on the phone. Hey, buddy, can you remove the mask so a guy can actually hear?"
"Is this some kind of joke? A piece of humor I'm not grasping?"
"No, I mean it. I genuinely can't understand half of what comes out of his mouth. Well, you've seen him. He wears a stupid sock on his head."
-- Ben Reilly and Silvermane, Spider-Noir: "The Man in the Mask"

Hello again, everyone! DJ Nik and I are back with a new episode of The Fandom Zone Podcast! This time, we discuss "The Man in the Mask", the final episode of Spider-Noir, featuring Nicolas Cage as The Spider/Ben Reilly, Brendan Gleeson as Silvermane/"Finn" Byrne, Li Jun Li as Felicia "Cat" Hardy, and Jack Huston as Sandman/Flint Marko!

In this episode, DJ Nik and I talk about things like my going to see The Silence of the Lambs at the Ohio Theatre, Nik having to marry his air conditioning, the finale ending to either provide a satisfying conclusion or set up a potential second season, Silvermane imparting advice on life to Cat, Janet smacking Cat twice across the face for her betrayal of Ben, wondering if Silvermane was grooming Cat as his replacement, Kilowatt seeding doubts on remaining loyal to Silvermane, Ben realizing that Cat will do something as long as its in her best interest to do so, that awkward moment when Robbie tries to slip Ben the antidote syringes and fails, Robbie talking to Silvermane as The Spider, Cat finally getting real and coming clean about her true intentions, Ben trying to advise Robbie as The Noir in front of Silvermane, the mirror homage to Enter the Dragon, Silvermane wanting Cat to be the one to kill him, whether Kilowatt survived being struck by an elevated subway train, wondering why Ben and Cat attended Silvermane's funeral, Ben's parting words to Cat, wondering how Mayor Morris won the election, being glad that Ben recognized Janet's worth by making her his partner, hoping we'll get a second season of Spider-Noir, our favorite quotes of the episode, new Fandom Zone Fan Mail from Dave Proctor and Jesse Jackson, our upcoming discussion of Lanterns, and more!
