Grow Up Level Up

Spider-Man: Brand New Day delivers one of the most exciting, emotional, and visually sharp Spider-Man experiences in the MCU so far. In this spoiler-free review, Samson and Jordan break down the movie’s strongest moments, from the incredible action choreography and suit design to the character development, friendships, and audience reactions that make this film feel bigger than expected.

We also talk about Destin Daniel Cretton’s direction, why the theater experience matters for a movie like this, and how Brand New Day compares to past Spider-Man and Marvel films. Later in the episode, we dig into spoilers and discuss Jean Grey, X-Men implications, Florence Pugh’s MCU role, Hulk’s future, and the evolving dynamics between Spider-Man and the people around him.

In this episode of Grow Up Level Up, Samson sits down with Collin and Andrew from The Good Mart for a conversation about Pokémon vending, vintage Pokémon cards, card shows, grading, entrepreneurship, and building a brand around what you genuinely love. They share how a shared hobby turned into a real business, why they focus on vintage to mid-era cards, and how community has become one of the biggest parts of what they do.

This interview also dives into collecting philosophy, finding a niche in the Pokémon market, learning through vending experience, and why fun still comes first in their business. Collin and Andrew also talk about streaming, content creation, and their long-term vision of building a physical space that supports creators, entrepreneurs, and Pokémon fans.

I visited the Canadian Video Game Museum for a small interview with Ryan Denison, the team lead behind this first-of-its-kind project in Canada. In this video, we talk about what CVGM is, why the exhibit matters, and how the team is building a permanent space to celebrate Canadian video game history.

The Canadian Video Game Museum is currently on view at the Museum of Vancouver, located at 1100 Chestnut Street, Vancouver, BC V6J 3J9. Visit the exhibit to explore the story of Canadian game development, prototype ideas, and the people and studios that helped shape the industry.
