Our hosts make their triumphant return and swing in fast with their episode review of Rocket Racer, plus comic book movie news and a special announcement that brings a whole lot of new content with it!

Alex and Will have been gone for a while from the podcast and did you wonder why? Probably not! But, if you did, the reason behind it all is that Alex was made redundant from his job and Will is still waiting to hear back from Marvel as well.

So, instead of sitting around and crying about not having any money (that has happened), they’ve decided to start a Patreon and bring YOU the listener a whole lot of new content and limited edition merchandise if you subscribe.

Head on over to www.patreon.com/spidermantaspodcast and check out all the tiers available! It’s extremely appreciated if you can sign up, but not necessary, and if you can’t subscribe, then please do share the Patreon link, which helps a lot too!

For this week’s episode, our hosts watch an episode they expected to not like, but were surprised at how good it actually was. This episode is typically the most unpopular episode of the Spider-Man the Animated Series and with characters like Big Wheel, it’s no surprise why. But, the character of Rocket Racer is what surprised Alex and Will the most and left them wanting more!

Our hosts chat about how Rocket defies gravity on his skateboard, how Peter Parker gets a glimpse of his white privilege, why Big Wheel is an exposition machine, and why this episode has some of the best and worst animation of the series.

Alex and Will also discuss all the comic book movie news they’ve missed out on during their absence, a Kingpin & Smythe scenario, plus a whole lot more!

It’s another webslinger of an episode, so sit back and let your spider senses tingle!
