# Episode #420 – Madame Web, with Zhubin Parang

We welcome our old friend [Zhubin Parang](https://twitter.com/zhubinparang?lang=en) back to the main feed after years of only joining us for our FlopTales RPG series (available as bonus content for Max Fun members: [join here](https://maximumfun.org/join/)!) — and for such an auspicious return we had to pick an extra-special movie: [Madame Web](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11057302/), which some have hailed as the “Cats” of superhero movies. Does it reach those heights? Who knows. But it’s surely the most enjoyably-silly of Sony’s Spider-Man without Spider-Man universe. We hope you enjoy it, and thanks to all who support us by [becoming a member of Maximum Fun](https://maximumfun.org/join/) during this Max Fun Drive.
