Coming up, David Bianculli reviews the new Prime video series, Spider Noir.

This is Fresh Air.

The Spider-Man character was introduced in a Marvel Comics book in 1962.

Since then, he's been the center of several live-action superhero movies over the decades, some well-received animated features, and has been reimagined in stories set in different times, even in different universes.

One comic book series that began in 2008, Spider-Man Noir, imagined the hero as a gumshoe of the 1930s, but with superpowers.

Now Prime Video has brought that concept to television as Spider Noir, starring Nicolas Cage.

Our TV critic David Bianculli says everything about the series is unexpectedly enjoyable.

Ladies and gentlemen, catch.

On tomorrow's show, New Yorker staff writer Ben Taub gives us an inside look at Donald Trump's campaign to acquire Greenland.

While it's faded from the headlines, Taub says there are ongoing influence operations at Trump's direction to keep the possibility alive.

In a new article, Taub reveals some key players in the effort and its impact on Greenland and our European allies.

I hope you can join us.
