Into The Spider-Cast

CJ and Swara continue their discussion of Cindy Moon's first comic series with  Silk: Sinister by Robbie Thompson. What do we make of the predicament Cindy has gotten herself into with Black Cat? How well do we think this story handles Cindy's mental health storyline, and why does she continue to be such a relatable character? What do we make of the villains in this run? We also discuss the latest developments and our speculations about WandaVision with a spoiler-filled discussion in our news segment, as we theorize where the series may go.

We're back after our Holiday Hiatus! In this episode, we finally discuss Ultimate Spider-Man Vol. 1 from 2000, back when Marvel launched their Ultimate universe that imagines their heroes origins in the 21st Century. What did we like about this unique take on Peter Parker's origin as Spider-Man? How do we like the dynamics and takes on him and his supporting characters like Aunt May, Uncle Ben, and Mary Jane? How does the comic hold up today? We also discuss some exciting news on new castings and directors for the MCU's Moon Knight series, give our recommendations, and more! It's great to be back!

Maia joins us again to discuss the follow-up game to Spider-Man PS4, Spider-Man: Miles Morales! How well do we think this game handles Miles and all his relationships with friends and family? What was unique about the gameplay? What relevant themes does the game bring up, and how well did it address them? But before that, we have a LOT of news to discuss, ranging across all the MCU and Spider-Man 3 announcements and reports we've received the past week. Again, it's a LOT. Enjoy!

This week, CJ and Swara discuss the first episode of Marvel 616 on Disney+, which details the origins and phenomenon of Japan's take on Spider-Man. How does Takuya Yamashiro differ from Peter Parker in his superhero origin? Why was the premise so much different from the original take on Spider-Man? How did this series actually influence some of our favorite Super Sentai/Power Rangers series? We discuss all that, along with some more rumors about the third Spider-Man MCU film, say what's on our Spider-Sense, and much more!

After taking a week off for a very stressful Election Week, we're back with the zaniest and silliest movie we could watch. That's right! We're finally taking on the 2018 MASTERPIECE that is Venom! Does this film make one iota of sense? Does Tom Hardy know what he's doing in this movie as Eddie Brock? Why is Eddie and the Symbiote's relationship the best thing about this mess of a movie? (Also, do we ship it?) We also discuss the news of the Spider-Man: Miles Morales game launch, Tom Holland starting filming on his third Spider-Man film, and much more!

For Latinx Heritage Month, we discuss a Latinx character we haven't discussed yet: Anya Corazon, AKA Araña, with her debut series "The Heart of the Spider." How does Anya stand out from most Spider-People, and how does her story strike its uniqueness with the various mystical elements and secret societies at play? What do we make of this less scientifically-based Spider-Story and Anya as a character? Besides our main discussion, we discuss the news of the Ms. Marvel series getting its directing team, the joys of playing The Avengers video game, tell the audience what's on our Spider-Sense, and much more!
