It's Episode 5 of In the Mood for Podcast, a weekly podcast by Calum Reed of Ultimate Addict and Peter Sheppard of In the Mood for Blog. This week's podcast is an under-the-wire Spidey special, which well and truly spans the moral spectrum. We make our way from the goody two-shoes of superheroes to the more lurid members of Texan trailer-trash in William Friedkin's "Killer Joe," taking time out to discuss our top five films from the first half of 2012, and our favourite performances. 


Discussed on the podcast: 


Opening Segment: Review of Marc Webb's "The Amazing Spiderman," and a discussion about its relevance as a franchise reboot. [1:45-20:25]


Reviews of this week's theatrical releases, here and across the pond: 

• "Friends with Kids"
• "Your Sister's Sister"
• "Jofyul Noise"
• "Killer Joe"
• "Beloved"

[20:35-1:00:30]


Closing Segment: Our review of 2012 so far, with our top five films and favourite performances. [1:00:40-1:17:35]
