SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY WAS AWESOMEEE. I can’t stop talking about it, so naturally I’m seeing it again tonight. Twice in two weeks? Now that’s a great use of free will. Without spoiling anything, Jon Bernthal was easily my favorite kind of character: pure comedic relief.

I’m clearly in a comedy mood, which works because we’re giving away tickets to The Setup this Saturday. Win your way into the speakeasy-style show featuring comics from Netflix, HBO, and Comedy Central, or use code DONYC2026 for 50% off tickets.*
