The third film to star Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor was generally panned when it hit theaters in 1989. However, for a kid who saw this in theaters, the comedy featuring Wilder as deaf and Pryor as blind, thrown together as an odd couple both mistaken for killers and hunted by both the police (Alan North and Louis Giambalvo) and real killers (Joan Severance and Kevin Spacey) for an invaluable coin they don’t even know they posses falls squarely into the guilty pleasure category.

Released only in around three-dozen theaters in the late winter of 2015, around a simultaneous release on VOD, The Last Five Years isn’t so much a forgotten film as one the vast majority of potential viewers were never aware of.

As a way to celebrate the character’s 60 years in comics, Marvel releases this one-shot featuring three separate tales and what they are referring to as “an epilogue,” each centered around different  periods in Mary Jane‘s life.
