Was there ever a cooler here with cooler powers? I mean, look at him literally run up the side of that building like a spider. I'm sure Spider-Man will swoop in at any second and save me. But hey, that's what happens when you try to interview Spider-Man while he's busy battling the Green Goblin, a villain who famously loves dropping innocent bystanders off buildings.īut don't worry. Peter, are you currently in a terrifying freefall high over the streets of New York City? Guilty as charged. Now, I know what you're probably thinking. Tell us what makes a spectacular Spider-Man so amazing. We flipped a coin, and Peter, you're up first. Then they'll each have 30 seconds to rebut their opponents statements.

MOLLY BLOOM: In this round, our debaters will present a well-crafted, immersive argument in favor of their side. MATT ALLEN: Yeah, like Batman, I stays ready. OK, Peter, Matt, and Molly, are you ready? At the end of the show, head to our website,, and vote for whichever team you think won. After each round, our judge, Molly, will award points to the team that impresses her the most, but she'll keep her decisions top secret until the end of the debate. Every debate consists of four rounds of argumentation, the declaration of greatness, the micro around, the sneak attack, and the final six. MOLLY BLOOM: Before we dive in, let's review the rules of the game. Molly, are you ready to judge today's debate? Well, will Molly side with Spider-Man or bend to Batman's will? There's no telling. And that was really fun to get to portray, and get to act scared but also confused, and get to sing my way through that.

An individual song and one of my favorites, a song with the wolf. MOLLY: Little Red Riding Hood gets to sing a lot of really fun parts, I'd say. What is Little Red Riding Hood get to sing? MOLLY BLOOM: So I'm glad you've had some experience channeling some big opinions lately. MOLLY: I would say that in Into the Woods, Little Red Riding Hood is a bit more aggressive, and feisty, and she has a lot more big opinions as opposed to the storyteller, where she's a little more scared and isn't really expressing how she's feeling. How is that Little Red Riding Hood would you say different than the Little Red Riding Hood from the story that people might be familiar with? MOLLY: So currently, I just finished up a school play of Into the Woods Junior, where I played Little Red Riding Hood. So tell us, what kind of theater projects are you doing right now?

MOLLY BLOOM: We are so excited you're here. Molly is a theater maven, has a feisty Jack Russell Terrier named Wendy, and used to go to circus school. MOLLY BLOOM: And here to judge it all is Molly from Philadelphia. MOLLY BLOOM: And a rapper extraordinaire Matt Allen, better known as Nerdy here to defend the caped crusader Batman. PETER MCNERNEY: Doing whatever a spider can. We've got actor, writer, Story Pirates co-host, and pal of the podcast, Peter McNerney ready to give it his all for team Spider-Man. Ne'er do wells beware because it's Spider-Man versus Batman. The brooding billionaire, and the penniless prodigy. The red and blue web head, and the dark knight. Today's debate is a super powered smack down between two heroic icons, the spunky webslinger from Queens, and the brave guardian of Gotham. I'm Molly Bloom, and this is Smash Boom Best, the show where we take two things, smash them together, and as you to decide which one is best. MOLLY: The show for people with big opinions. SUBJECT 1: From the brains behind Brains On, its Smash Boom Best.
