Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man ends its first season with space portals, time travel, symbiotes, and magic…and somehow, it’s all works! We talk about the big time loop reveal and what it and the lack of Uncle Ben guilt say about this version of Spider-Man, along with Norman Osborn as a Lex Luthor figure and our lack of memory about the Oscorp internship. Plus, we discuss what we know about season 2!

We’re watching Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 9: “If This Be My Destiny…”.

The gang war comes to a head and Spidey gets a rematch with Scorpion in the action-packed penultimate episode of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man’s first season! We talk about the unexpected culmination of Lonnie’s arc – and his role as Spidey’s heart rather than a villain – along with Spidey’s swanky new (classic) suit, Nico coming around on his identity, and Norman’s advice having ill effects on Peter.

We’re watching Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 9: “Hero or Menace”.

Otto Octavius plays Animal Crossing and does a gay little dance! Harry calls Peter “Tiger”! For an episode devoid of action and devoted to Peter contemplating his failures, there’s still lots of fun to be had. We get into Norman Osborn’s bad advice, the Parkers as a family unit, Chameleon’s weird mask, the first sign that Big D is a bad leader, and Harry Osborn as a love interest for Peter.

We’re watching Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 8: “Tangled Web”.

Spider-Man and Lonnie Lincoln's stories finally intersect when the Ock-augmented Scorpion attacks the 110th Street Gang's hideout. Plus, Nico and Harry hash things out over pizza and... a street race? We talk about the parallels between Pearl's frustration with Lonnie and Nico's frustration with Peter, ponder what Harry did to the Nike Board of Directors, and speculate whether Norman is telling the truth about his relationship to Otto Octavius.

We’re watching Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 7: “Scorpion Rising”.

Well, it’s another Doctor Doom episode of the 1981 cartoon… but is this show actually building a semi-serialized Doom story across multiple episodes?! After Doom traps Spider-Man underground, we get an extended flashback about Doom’s origins from the perspective of the Latverians he rules over, questioning if a tragedy in the past justifies being a huge jerk in the present. We talk about this very funny (but also fashy) J. Jonah Jameson simping over Doom, a strange writer identity mixup, and whether we should re-evaluate the entire Doom saga.

We’re watching Spider-Man (1981): Season 1, Episode 17: “Canon of Doom”.

Yeah, Daredevil is in this episode! But there’s plenty more, including a VHS movie night between Peter, Harry, and Nico that goes very awry, and the first inkling that this show’s Norman Osborn may, in fact, be a bad dude. We talk about snack recipes and parallels between raisins and dates, using the MCU and Civil War background well, and even more of Peter’s terrible lies.

We’re watching Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 6: “Duel with the Devil”.

It’s the one where Spider-Man gets beat up by a giant muscular Russian lady with a laser on her head! Lucky guy. He also has to deal with Harry Osborn’s new role as his “dude at the desk” and how this newfound relationship affects Nico. We talk about the official introduction of Hugh Dancy’s Otto Octavius, Unicorn as a pretty despicable villain, and the moment Lonnie’s compelling transition into Tombstone falters.

We’re watching Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 5: “The Unicorn Unleashed!”.

It’s one big FASHION MONTAGE! Peter tries and fails to adopt different superhero costumes and personas to hilarious effect. But on the dramatic side, Lonnie gets thrown into the deep end of a dangerous gang war with the Scorpions. Also, we talk Dr. Wittman being this show’s J. Jonah Jameson, good ways to make MCU references, and a weird amount of conversation about the show Becker. (Yes, this episode should have been called “Secret Identity Crisis” instead.)

We’re watching Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 4: “Hitting the Big Time”.

So, how’s Peter Parker doing after that whole memory wipe spell? Not great! We’re talking about the fourth MCU Spidey film that explores a Spider-Man without human connection and the mental, emotional, and physical Spider-mutating toll it takes on him. Spin your web cocoon as we talk about very ripped Tom Holland, the disgust of organic webs, using Marvel characters like Hulk and Punisher other than typical Spidey villains (and the thematic connections among them), Zendaya selling complicated moments, the whole Sadie Sink thing, and more!

We’re watching the film, Spider-Man: Brand New Day!

Peter and Lonnie both get in over their heads with some powerful master manipulators… AND BIG D IS HERE! After we get done thirsting after the leader of the 110, we talk about this eccentric Norman Osborn’s weirdly adorable enthusiasm for Spider-Manning, the mechanics of buying out an entire restaurant, and a bickering straight couple who almost kill Spider-Man.

We’re watching Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 3: “Secret Identity Crisis”.
