56: A Time for Everything (THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2) + Derrick's Podcast Journey
Have you ever felt like time wasn't on your side? In Derrick's final pick for the podcast (and our final episode), we analyze the divisive superhero spectacle/drama THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2. Derrick shares what he loves about this misunderstood film, and what his re-editing of it says about him. We discuss the Narrative Therapy Landscapes of Action & Identity, Peter Parker's struggle to balance his relationships with his entrepreneurial endeavor as Spider-Man, and how to hold onto hope when we fail. We also reflect on Derrick's journey throughout the podcast, including insights about his relationships with his films, while discovering the common thread that ties them all together.
Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this podcast journey! Though this podcast is coming to an end (for now), our stories aren't over, and neither is yours! Stay connected with Derrick on Instagram @allthingsnarrative
In the words of Gwen Stacy:
"I know it feels like we're saying goodbye,
but we will carry a piece of each other into everything that we do next,
to remind us of who we are, and of who we're meant to be.”

Welcome to the Live A Meaningful Story Podcast, where we connect the movies we love with the stories we live.
We are four friends with different backgrounds who love watching movies and conversing about their deeper meanings. Each week, we discuss a film, wrestling with how its story, characters, settings, genres, and themes connect to the stories we find ourselves living. We often relate these films to principles found in Narrative Therapy and our Christian faith.
Through this podcast, you will gain insight and appreciation for all kinds of stories, including your own. You will also be encouraged to reflect on your own life, and how to live with a greater sense of purpose.
Join us as we make sense of our lives, one film at a time.
Hosted by Derrick Hatch, a Storytelling Coach, Narrative Practitioner, and speaker.
Co-hosted by award-winning filmmaker and movie buff Nick Natale, teacher and stop-motion filmmaker Joseph Wilson, and life-skills educator Jason Lynn.
All Things Narrative exists to guide you towards telling and living your story more meaningfully. Learn more about our educational workshops and coaching programs at: allthingsnarrative.com
