Chris Answers Your Questions: Spider-Man, Yankees, Nintendo & Mad Props

No guest this week — Chris Schnabel is opening up the Mad Props mailbag and answering your questions about the podcast, sports, Marvel, Nintendo, favorite guests, behind-the-scenes stories and more. Chris kicks things off with his thoughts on Spider-Man: Brand New Day and why taking Spider-Man back to a more street-level story is exactly what he wanted to see from Tom Holland's version of the character. From there, the mailbag goes everywhere. Chris looks back at more than five years of Mad Props, including the interviews he immediately knew were special, guests who surprised him, embarrassing production mistakes, episodes that never made it to air, the interviews that required the most preparation and the guests he still keeps in touch with today.
