After a long absense, Professor Sy Islam is back. This time, we break from the MCU and look at the Sony Spidey-adjacent universe and arguably the most successful film in that series, 2018's Venom! We talk about the character's history, how this movie turned out better than anyone expected, and a lot more.

Pick up a copy of Leaders Assemble! Leadership in the MCU and follow Sy on Bluesky.
