Spider-Man: Brand New Day is on the horizon, and Kneel Before Pod is getting prepared with episodes exploring other versions of the stories the film might be adapting. The first revisits the 1994 animated episodes that, in what can only be described as a remarkable coincidence, also involve Peter mutating and the Punisher appearing. The conversation covers storytelling pace, trusting the audience and Cronenbergian horror.
