In honor of Spider-Man's 60th anniversary this year, and with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness now in theaters we're turning our attention to the time Peter Parker celebrated his birthday - and was flung through time and space! This week's episode covers the "Happy Birthday" arc from the J. Michael Straczynski/John Romita Jr. run of Amazing Spider-Man, specifically Amazing Spider-Man #57-58 and the landmark Amazing Spider-Man #500. We talk about how surprisingly emotional this storyline was for Peter Parker, and how Doctor Strange factored into the plot as well as his nemesis, the Dread Dormammu. We also discuss our thoughts on Multiverse of Madness and the final two episodes of Moon Knight!

It's our 50th episode! Thank you all for continuing with us on our journey through the Spider-Verse. As we're in the middle of Moon Knight Season 1, why not discuss that time in the multiverse when Peter Parker fused with Marc Spector to become the Arachknight? Why is this version of the web-slinger so fresh from anything else we've seen? We also discuss Moon Knight episodes 3 and 4 and where we think the last two episodes will go, discuss the news of Across the Spider-Verse being delayed again to June 2023, and much more!

We're back! After our hiatus, we're not talking about the Morbius film (or at least Swara isn't since he refuses to go to theaters to see it) and we discuss the second cohort of episodes in the Neogenic Nightmare arc of Spider-Man The Animated Series that features not only Morbius, but Blade and the Punisher as well! Why is this such a great adaptation? How is Peter pushed to his brink here? CJ also gives his thoughts on the Morbius fim, we discuss the first two episodes of Moon Knight, and much more!

With only two weeks until the premiere of Spider-Man: No Way Home, we decided to discuss our thoughts on the most recent trailer, along with our thoughts on what might happen. How will Peter Parker fare with villains from alternate universes? Which villains are we looking forward to seeing? Will the film be able to juggle multiversal shenanigans with Spidey's secret identity being revealed to the world? And will this finally be the Marvel Studios project where Mephisto makes his grand appearance?

This week, we're joined by our special guest LaNeysha Campbell to discuss the anime phenomenon My Hero Academia-specifically, the similarities that Izuku "Deku" Midorya shares with Peter Parker. How was MHA creator Kohei Horikoshi inspired by the Spider-Man mythos? How does Deku's rivalry/friendship with Katsuki Bakugo mirror that of Spidey and the Human Torch's? And what of Deku's new abilities, Blackwhip and Danger Sense-which also happen to mirror Spidey's web-slinging and Spider-Sense? We also give our thoughts on Eternals and the new Morbius trailer! Spoilers for all of the My Hero Academia anime throughout the episode. You can follow Neysha on Twitter and Instagram at @NeyshaPlays.

This week, we're joined by our special guest James Whitbrook to discuss the infamous "One More Day" storyline and its follow-up "One Moment In Time." After a little over a decade, how do both stories hold up? What are our thoughts on the Mephisto of it all, and how the story only highlights how strong Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson's relationship is? And how will elements of these stories influence the plot of Spider-Man: No Way Home? We also discuss the shifting of multiple films under Marvel Studios' banner and the reason for the said shift.

We return to Spider-Man The Animated Series! We discuss the "Spider-Slayers" two-part arc that sets up many elements for the series going forward, delving into the setup of Spider-Man's villains, love life, and our first introduction to one Felicia Hardy.

We are joined by our special guest Anthony Canton of the MCUniversity Podcast to discuss Amazing Spider-Man #700, which served as the official start of the Superior Spider-Man era. This issue saw Peter Parker, who was trapped in Doctor Octopus' dying body, attempt to stop Ock from claiming his life as Spider-Man. How did Ock and Peter differ from each other? How did Peter's friends and family react to his new demeanor? And why was one part surprisingly emotional? We also discuss our thoughts and speculations on the trailers for Spider-Man: No Way Home and Hawkeye, and delve deep into our spoiler-filled feels for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

We are joined by our special guest Lys to discuss the Ultimate Spider-Man episode "Run Pig Run," which guest stars Loki! In this episode, we discuss how the God of Mischief transforms Peter Parker into Spider-Ham via an enchanted hot dog (yes, really) and sets him up at the prize boar in the Asgardian Wild Hunt. Suffice it to say, this episode was weird. We also talk about Lys' love of Loki and Spidey, the Eternals trailer, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings having an exclusive theatrical release, and the "streaming vs theaters" debate.

We are joined by special guest Jordan Maison to discuss the first half of the "Neogenic Nightmare" storyline from Spider-Man: The Animated Series' second season. How does Peter Parker deal with the fact that his body may be mutating into something inhuman? How does Mary Jane Watson outwit a superpowered stalker in the form of Hydro-Man? What did we think of the crossover with X-Men: The Animated Series? And how did censorship lead to the Sinister Six being renamed to the "Insidious Six?" We also discuss the Loki Season 1 finale and its implications for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and when we expect a trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home.
