For the SERIES FINALE of Spider-Woman, author Shawn Pryor (Kaiju Unleashed) joins us to talk about one last alien invader, one last Star Wars villain, one last bizarre plot, and one last instance of Jeff being the worst! As our beloved heroine faces her first woman villain–a Darth Vader/Freddy Krueger combo who puts people to sleep and attacks them in their dreams!--we bid adieu to the most fun show we’ve ever covered. Good night, Spider-Woman!

We’re watching Spider-Woman: Season 1, Episode 16: “A Deadly Dream”.

Dr. Connors took The Substance, and it results in a body horror-filled creature feature and one of The Spectacular Spider-Man’s best episodes! We get into why the simple character designs allow for more grotesque and violent sequences (The Lizard almost bites off Spider-Man’s head…twice!). Plus, yet another banger train fight, the true debut of depressed death-seeker Eddie Brock, and Peter Parker alienating all his loved ones so early in the show.

We’re watching The Spectacular Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 3: “Natural Selection”.

The sparks are flying as our spoiler-filled revisit of The Spectacular Spider-Man sees the origin of two electrifying, tragic, and surprisingly compelling stories reinvented for this series – Electro, and Liz Allan’s crush on Peter Parker! We talk about this rightfully-resentful Electro, what makes the Peter/Liz relationship so fascinating, how Spider-Man learns not to kick first and ask questions later, along with all the setup and foreshadowing for Eddie Brock’s sanity, Curt Connors’ negligence, and more.

We’re watching The Spectacular Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 2: “Interactions”.

Tell us there’s something better… than The Spectacular Spider-Man! We’re revisiting the entirety of our favorite Spider-Man show again from the beginning with full spoilers, and it begins with this whirlwind of a premiere! We talk about the show’s origins from creators Greg Weisman and Victor Cook, along with how this episode elegantly interweaves every element of Peter Parker’s life – from the high school drama with Gwen, Harry, and the bullies, to an internship with Dr. Connors and not-yet-evil Eddie Brock, to the Daily Bugle, to Oscorp and Vulture’s vendetta against never-apologizing Norman Osborn, to the Big Man and his Enforcers, to Aunt May’s banana cream pie. This episode is PACKED, and it only gets better from here!

We’re watching The Spectacular Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 1: “Survival of the Fittest”.

The Loch Ness Monster! Subterranean spider creatures who look like ants and brainwash Spider-Woman into being their queen! A dragon tank! Jessica falling out of a helicopter! Jeff being a horrible misogynist! This episode of Spider-Woman truly has everything.

WE WERE WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING! This finale brings the season full circle with a huge rug-pull that makes us happily eat our words and declare this to be the best Spider-Man cartoon since Spectacular. As Spidey and Lonnie get entangled in a gang war and Norman Osborn’s plans are revealed, we talk about this show’s inventive long-term storytelling, Jeff Trammell’s keen awareness of Spidey’s current place in pop culture, and all those set-ups for next season.

We’re watching Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 9: “Hero or Menace” and Episode 10: “If This Be My Destiny…”

Spidey fights Daredevil and Scorpion and loses to both, Nico and Harry bond over a drag race, the gang war comes to a fiery head, and Doc Ock does a gay little dance in an exciting cluster of episodes! We talk about how the parallel storylines converge in a surprisingly brutal and violent fashion, along with secret identities, Goblin gliders, gamma radiation, and more.

Three whole episodes dropped of the newest Spider-Man cartoon, and all deal with Norman Osborn as Peter’s “man in the chair”, a slew of new suits, and Lonnie Lincoln’s continued slide down the slippery slope. We talk about the beautifully freakish Ditko/Kirby-style designs in future-Rhino, future-Chameleon, and their weird-looking friend, all the tech-based villains, getting Harry involved quickly and how that instantly changes the classic Osborn dynamic, and of course… our first look at Otto Octavius!

We’re watchingYour Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man:Season 1, Episode 3: “Secret Identity Crisis”, Episode 4: “Hitting the Big Time, and Episode 5: “The Unicorn Unleashed!”

We’re covering the newest animated Spider-Man as it airs, and we like it! The premiere offers us a new Spidey origin, a hockey costume, Norman Osborn as a mentor, and a slew of deep cuts and unexpected characters. We talk about the pros and cons of the unique Romita-inspired visual style, along with the exciting shades of Spectacular Spider-Man, the unnecessary multiversal opening (and why it’s good that this show is freed from the MCU), Colman Domingo’s beautiful voice, and more! And yes, this show IS woke, actually.

We’re watching Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 1: “Amazing Fantasy” and Episode 2: “The Parker Luck”.
