The question of the day, instigated by the new Spiderman release–should we force redemption on people?

In this episode of They All Marveled Podcast, Darlene and Han Bocek discuss the good, the bad, the interesting, and the thought-provoking in box office hit Spiderman No Way Home.

Providing a Christian take on this pop culture phenomenon, we dissect Peter’s quest to “change the bad guys.” Is it right to force people to change against their will?
