Spectacular Radio

Flamin’ fireballs!  It’s the first ever Spider-Man team-up and the lucky sonovagun is the Human Torch!  Or, since technically this is Johnny Storm’s annual, maybe we should make him seem like the lead with Spidey the guest star?  Ah, well, it doesn’t matter.  This was a pretty wonky ride, so join Jon Wilson, Josh Bertone, and Donovan Grant, as they are joined by guest co-host Zach Henderson (from Teenage Wasteland: An Ultimate Spider-Man Podcast), and get ready for “one of the most epic thrillers of all time!!”

We also take a brief look at Spider-Man’s backup appearance in The Fantastic Four Annual 1.

Feedback will also be read this week.  We got a lot of responses, including a question answered by some guy named Stan Lee.  If you’d like to contact the show and have your words read on the air and your name proclaimed to millions (that’s Gerald K. Millions, our sound editor), please email us, leave a review on iTunes, or simply comment on this page.

Amazing Spider-Man Classics is dedicated to covering every issue of Spider-Man’s series, as well as every guest and cameo appearance we can find.  Join us again next week for Amazing Spider-Man 5 and 6, featuring Spider-Man’s first tangle with dastardly Dr. Doom and the loquacious Lizard!

We welcome back Greg Weisman and script writer Andrew Robinson to break down the development of the climax of the Criminology arc as pop culture and high culture come together for an epic clash. Listen as we go in-depth on this episode’s unique soundtrack, the stupidity of guys (by four guys, no less), some hints as to where Silver Sable may have been headed from here, and more. But most importantly, we pay tribute to Denny O’Neil (1939 – 2020); a true titan in the comic book industry.

After a long hiatus, Greg and Zach bring you this podcast recorded about one year ago! We discuss “Into the Spider-Verse”; Sony, Marvel, and Disney. Not to mention upgrading the Enforcers, and the hidden depths of Flash Thompson and Sally Avril.

Our apologies for the delay, moving forward our content will be far more current.

Greg welcomes back Greg Weisman to discuss the middle chapter of the Criminology arc. The two discuss preventing villains from decaying, the differences between juggling an ensemble show vs a non-ensemble, their shared love for everybody’s favorite cheerleader, Sally Avril; and so much more.

Zach and Greg return to talk about Roderick Kingsley, pontificate on the changes made to Silver Sable, spend a little too much time discussing Nikki Cox’s career, and their disappointment over never getting to see Spectacular’s version of the Hobgoblin in action.

Today we welcome back Greg Weisman and discuss Silver Sable (one of the show’s more radical adaptations), Roderick Kingsley, and just what exactly did happen to Hammerhead to make him require that steel-plated skull?

Venom makes his big move, Ned Lee makes the biggest mistake of his life, we read fan mail. All that and more on this installment of Spectacular Radio!

Happy New Year, Spectacular fans! We recorded this episode with Greg Weisman and Victor Cook back in late October where we paid tribute to Steve Ditko, discussed his influence on the series, the tenth anniversary of Spectacular Spider-Man, why Greg avoids spoiling shows that are no longer in production all in addition to an in depth discussion on this episode, constructing an action scene and so much more.

Greg, Zach, and Gerard return to finally discuss “Spider-Man: Homecoming”, “Infinity War”, oh, and “Growing Pains”, too. Colonel Jupiter, Jameson, Venom, and more. 

In this episode, we welcome Daran Norris, the voice of J. Jonah Jameson and John Jameson/Colonel Jupiter to the series. We discuss the significance of a classic ASM issue on Greg Weisman, Daran Norris’ career, Nicole Dubuc’s script, and Greg Weisman fanboys a little bit about iZombie. You won’t want to miss this.
