5/4/2024
We venture to a galaxy far, far away for this Glitterjaw Crossover with Cass and Tommy from Distant Echoes: A Star Wars Podcast! We talk about the time Spider-Woman fought a darksaber-wielding space villain from the dark side who looks suspiciously like Darth Vader. Plus, we discuss familiar-looking starships, Billy starting the Rebel Alliance, droids and Gamorrean henchman, Disney’s The Black Hole, and more We’re watching Spider-Woman: Season 1, Episode 12: “Invasion of the Black Hole”.

The Superior Spider-Man, Part Two

4/23/2024
Our odyssey with Otto Octavius possessing the pilfered body of Peter Parker progresses! And the Avengers are beginning to notice... or are they? In this unlocked Patreon episode, we discuss the difference between Otto's "handling" of Massacre and his response to Screwball & Jester; how things might've gone differently if Tony, Hank, Reed, or literally any scientist superhero were present for the Avengers' interrogation of Spidey; why we understand folks' frustration over the Carlie-MJ dynamic around this time; and what it means for the next year or so of this story if Otto has, in fact, successfully purged Peter's consciousness from his body.

The Superior Spider-Man, Part One

4/9/2024
Remember that time Doc Ock switched bodies with Peter Parker and it lasted for, like, two whole years? Over on Patreon, we're currently going through all of The Superior Spider-Man comics for the very first time, and now we're releasing part one of our conversation on the main feed! How does this compare to the 2017 Marvel's Spider-Man animated adaptation? How does Otto trick Spider-Man into a body swap? Is the Mary Jane stuff as weird and creepy as it sounds? And what's the deal with this Massacre dude? Reading list: The Amazing Spider-Man #698-700 by Dan Slott, J.M.

Our midseason finale of the 1967 Spider-Man toon has it all – a sorcerer from the depths of time, a giant sexy imp in a speedo, fantastical battles made from brand new animation, and the triumphant return of Susan!

#225: “Phantom from the Depths of Time” (with Aaron Reynolds of Effin Birds)

3/19/2024
Oh, you thought this show was weird before? Aaron Reynolds, creator of the fucking iconic Effin Birds, joins us when Spidey hops into a spaceship and heads into the completely unrelated sci-fi cartoon Rocket Robin Hood! And despite this episode only existing for cost-cutting measures, we’re blessed with laser-eyed ants, wacky giant animals, and a rad villain in Doctor Manta. Plus, we dig into Canadian TV and the career of radio personality Carl Banas! We’re watching Spider-Man (1967): Season 2, Episode 8: “Phantom from the Depths of Time”.

3/12/2024
Haven’t we seen this before? Tyler and Nate of Animorphing Time, The Bruce Campbell Podcast, and Hate Speech join us for the return to the subterranean world of those furry blue Molemen and mostly a recycling of footage we’ve seen before… and somehow it’s more coherent than most episodes this season! Plus, we talk little green elf goblins, parallels to real-world foreign policy, and how capitalism destroyed the Molemen.

#223: “Diamond Dust” (with The Mixed Reviews)

3/5/2024
Gavin and Louie from The Mixed Reviews (the best film podcast!) are here to help us unravel a convoluted plot from the ‘67 Spidey toon, which includes a flamboyant villain named Shakespeare making gangsters wear gorilla suits and shooting liquid latex to steal a precious diamond! Plus, Peter gets very close to another boy in the shower, and four queers try to explain how baseball works. We’re watching Spider-Man (1967): Season 2, Episode 6: “Diamond Dust”.

2/20/2024
Spider-Man ventures underground to fight a subterranean society of furry blue people in this send-up to Jules Verne! David from the Are You My Mother and Gimmicks podcasts joins us for this fantastical episode with stolen banks, an out-of-nowhere Scooby-Doo twist, and yet another resentful and mean Peter Parker.

#221: “Criminals in the Clouds” (with Merrilee O’Neil)

2/13/2024
Peter Parker tries to join the school football team and woo his latest love interest, but the teen drama is rudely interrupted when an airship-themed villain kidnaps the star player! The delightful Merrilee returns for this oddly structured episode of the ‘67 Spidey toon that includes Skymaster, one of our new favorite original villains who could rival Doctor Doom as a top-tier Marvel villain and should be the next big bad of the MCU.

2/6/2024
Spidey faces… the final act of Avengers: Age of Ultron?! Enrique from (Un)Popped Podcast joins us as an evil green-skinned scientist makes the island of Manhattan float in the sky and forces Peter to miss his date! We talk about Enrique’s experiences watching the ‘67 Spider-Man cartoon in El Salvador, how the visuals of this show help distract from the recycled animation and lighter narrative, Peter being too distracted by girls to be into science, and more!

#219: “King Pinned” (with Chris Cummins)

1/31/2024
Spider-Man 1967 continues its rebooted story as Peter Parker gets a job at the Daily Bugle! Chris Cummins of Sci-Fi Explosion returns for this surprisingly grounded episode, which has Spidey face off against the first animated appearance of Kingpin to uncover a pharmaceutical conspiracy that’s surprisingly relevant to today. Plus, we talk about how modern weird internet comedy might have drawn inspiration from this show’s use of repeated footage! We’re watching Spider-Man (1967): Season 2, Episode 2: “King Pinned”.

#218: “The Origin of Spider-Man”

1/23/2024
We’re going back to the beginning in more ways than one, as the second season of the original 1967 Spider-Man cartoon reboots itself! With a brand new animation studio headed by prolific counterculture icon Ralph Bakshi (pre-Fritz the Cat and Lord of the Rings), the new season starts off with a faithful retelling of Spidey’s origin, complete with psychedelic sequences, watercolor backgrounds, and plenty of cost-cutting. We’re watching Spider-Man (1967): Season 2, Episode 1: “The Origin of Spider-Man”.

#217: “Along Came a Spider…”

1/16/2024
Did you know we almost got a mini-Spectacular Spider-Man reunion in 2012? We’re covering the infamous episode of the critically-acclaimed Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes series… the one where Josh Keaton’s big Spider-Man appearance was re-recorded by Drake Bell for frustrating reasons. But despite the minor controversy overshadowing it, this episode shows off the clever storytelling, sharp character writing, and gorgeous animation that make this a top-tier Avengers series.

All of this season’s major threads come to head (literally) when the Doc Ock-inhabited Living Brain attempts to switch bodies with Spider-Man – all alongside a fast-paced battle through a supervillain prison, a proper Spider-Men/Spider-Girl team-up, and an appropriately bleak start to this show’s Superior Spider-Man adaptation.

The Bad Guys finally finish getting broughten in the final two segments! First, Spidey meets one of our new favorite Electros, a haphazard inventor lady who electrocutes herself into oblivion.

It’s no surprise that we love Hippo and Panda-Mania, a literal anthropomorphic hippo and his panda onesie-wearing friend with wrestling moves.
