Season 3 Episode 3: Attack of the Octobot

Recap – 2:33 Review – 30:24 Comic Origins – 34:40

Spider-Man has amnesia and Doc Ock has convinced him he’s his partner in crime. It’s a story so ridiculous it MUST be based on a comic book. It’s up to Tiana to remind Spidey of his superheroism, with cab driver Mousey in tow to dish out James Brown wisdom, bad Jamaican accents and tales of coconut wagons. Plus, the debut of a whole new segment!

Then in for our comic book origins, we’re talking two stories: first in The Amazing Spider-Man #55-56 (1968) and then we look into ASM #248 (1984).

Season 3 Episode 2: Make A Wish

Recap – 1:40 Review – 26:00

Doc Ock is back on the scene after getting screwed over by the Disney Corp- uh I mean the Hardy Foundation once again, and it’s up to our hero to stop him. Unfortunately, Spidey is down in the dumps after blowing up one too many buildings and needs a pep talk from his biggest fan, while the good doctor tries to let Kingpin down easy so he can play catch with the new love of his life: octobot junior. One wholesome kidnapping later, and things take a turn for the worse.

Season 3 Episode 1: Doctor Strange Recap – 05:40 Review – 40:00 Comic Origins – 46:50 We’re back for a third season, and boy does it get off to an insane start. Sci-Fi lasers are a thing of the past. Now we’ve only got time for magic eye lasers, especially when they come from Amore-Jane Watson, whose step-dad may just be Baron Mordo in disguise. He may promise the world, but his ex-wife took everything in the divorce – and we mean everything. While Baron Bone is doing his best to summon Mr Nasty himself, the dread Dormammu, into our dimension – Spidey teams up with Doctor Strange to take him down. After all, there’s only room for one Daddy in this town, and his name ain’t Mordo. Comic panels and other additional notes

For our latest (and last) bonus episode during our season break, we’re offering the first episode of one of our usually-Patreon-exclusive episodes: welcome to Drunk Hot Takes!

The hosts are drunk, the takes are hot… some might say X-tremely hot. So hot you’ll burn yourself and learn a valuable lesson about listening to podcasts as recklessly stupid as this one. This time we’re talking our own personal rankings of all the X-Men movies (other than New Mutants… stay safe true believers), as well as discussing our Top 5 Favourite and Bottom 5 Worst characters in the franchise.

Be sure to check out the rest of our X-Men movie retrospective on our Patreon feed.

The Neogenic Nightmare is finally done, so we’re discussing the season as a whole! We talk about our favourite (and least favourite) episodes, before jumping into the real discussion: who’s the biggest loser this season?

And why does Henry hate old people?

It’s hard to narrow it down, because this season is absolutely full to the brim with losers – but we’ve got our choices for winners and losers, even if Henry manages to find a way to make the entire process confusing as hell!

Season 2 Episode 13: Shriek of the Vulture

Episode Recap – 2:17 Review – 28:57 Comic Origins – 35:41

The Vulture is in town, ready to throw away a life of bathrobe zoom calls in favour of taking to the skies as New York’s latest green spandex foe. He’s also using the tablet of time to turn children into instant boomers and continues the tradition of kidnapping the Osborn family.

We also dive into the comic origins of Adrian Toomes, from his humble origins to ageist bullying, cannibalism, and robot love curing cancer. It’s a wild ride.

Season 2, Episode 12: Ravages of Time

Recap – 2:58 Review – 28:43 Comic Origins – 33:50

Our Spider-Man PS1 Lets Play

Silvermane wants to live until the totally-not-barren cultural landscape of the 2000s with his time pyramid and time poncho at the ready – but before then he’ll have to go up against the ED-209 of this show, the Mega Slayer. Before long, we’ve got a cavalcade of kidnappings, Clark Kent acrobatics and a pitch for a new Ted Danson project.

Despite his sleep deprivation, Jack has some comic book origins to discuss too – with the wild ride of Silvermane’s tragic unbirth and Pro Evo cyborg body breaking Henry’s brain.

Season 2 Episode 11: The Tablet of Time

Recap: 3:35 Review: 32:16 Comic Origins: 38:28

Spencer Smythe is rolling in his grave after his son makes a humanoid ultimate battle robot, J3 is back on the air, Hammerhead is butting into a gang war over a magical artefact and Silvermane is… old. Super old.

The Kingpin shows off his glorious fat muscles and we get side-tracked talking about his diet. Meatballs aside, we’ve got an all-new monstar making this cavalcade of characters even more jam-packed: the jive-talking Tombstone.

We then move on to a trilogy of comic origins (pray for Jack), including 1969’s tablet of time story, Hammerhead’s first issue and the mk.14 spider slayer.
