Madame Web

Count Dakota Johnson out of any future superhero movie discourse. After Madame Web became Sony’s latest Spider-verse flop, the movie got ripped apart by the internet despite a rising cult of fans calling the messy film camp.

So much movie-making these days seems tragically engineered towards ginning up that one perfect shot, expression, quote, needle drop, or moment that’ll go bonkers viral and juice the box office receipts.

They must happen naturally — catch us off guard with our defenses down so they can worm their way into our internet-addled brains and become a part of our cultural fabric (for at least as long as our attention spans will…

Madame Web is a two-hour trailer for the movie you think you’re watching, but actually aren’t. If that’s confusing, welcome to the world of Madame Web, where everyone—the characters, the actors, the audience, and everyone in between—is confused about basically everything, all of the time. It’s a film that sets specific expectations in terms of story and payoff, proceeds to seed and tease those payoffs throughout the movie, and then never delivers on them. When a film has to pretend to be something it’s not to keep you…

This week’s Saturday Night Live kicked things off with a damn near unwatchable parody of CBS’ NFL broadcast before Dakota Johnson took the stage looking absolutely incredible, dressed in a number that recalled Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s black jumpsuit in Fleabag. The actress described her upcoming film Madame Web — a Spider-Man spinoff co-starring Sydney Sweeney — as “kind of like if AI generated your boyfriend’s perfect movie.” “I’ve been doing a lot of press for it and I’m just… not good at talking to…
