Spiderman and Peter Parker have been a mainstay of the superhero world for decades. With three major film adaptations of the character, including Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland's takes on the friendly neighborhood Spiderman. The character sells more merchandise than any other Marvel property, and once helped save the comic company from financial ruin. But why does the character mean so much to so many people?

Film creator YuviRayz joins this week to discuss how The Amazing Spiderman changed his life -- from his perception of film and the world around him, a desire to have something spectacular happen to him, and of course, his fashion sense (bring back the layered t-shirt look immediately). We discuss how his mentality as an athlete mirrors Peter's journey as an individual hero, whether being selfish is a necessity of greatness, and why we all love that scrappy teenager so much.

Next week, Zoe from Fan Behavior joins to discuss Drive To Survive and all things Formula 1.
