Grab your late night pizzas and put on those Goblin gloves for one of the show’s best outings! A combination of bad-friending from Peter, prodding from an extradimensional Green Goblin, and a teensy bit of sanity slippage makes Harry take up the Goblin mantle… and the poor guy STILL gets berated by his dad about it. Packed into this is a Punisher subplot and even a case of mistaken identity that results in Peter Parker riding a Goblin glider!

We’re watching Spider-Man: The Animated Series: season 4, episode 8: “Partners in Danger Chapter VIII: Return of the Green Goblin”.

Nichelle Nichols voices Blade's mom, a vampire who shoots a vampire-creating laser beam into a disco ball in a nightclub that turns everyone into vampires. Honestly, what else could you ask for? There’s a ton packed into this fun horror episode that teeters on the edge of camp, while finding closure for Morbius, Terri Lee, and Blade and even functioning as a send-off for Black Cat.

It is once again morbin’ time, and everyone’s trying to figure out what to do with this hunky sleepy bat monster! This homage to gothic romance and Universal horror plays up the melodrama and soap opera, with Black Cat and Debra Whitman both fighting for love, a self-loathing Morbius monster just trying to survive, and the bad guys really just getting in the way.

You know it’s gonna be bad when the logline is “Black Cat is kidnapped”. It only gets worse in an episode that bizarrely casts edgy queer comedian Sandra Bernhard in a thankless girlfriend role for Scorpion, makes an evil baby the primary villain without being funny enough to pull it off, and backslides characters arcs for no reason. We speculate on what may have happened in the production process to create this mess, and theorize an alternate version centering Black Cat and the other women in the story that might have actually been good.

The men are GOING THROUGH IT, and Black Cat is the only person who can help these dudes actually process their feelings. Kraven’s return, a mysterious monster, and Spidey’s bottled up rage and grief over Mary Jane turn this episode into a case where the “just talk to each other and go to therapy” mantra is actually genuinely the whole point of the story!

Okay, let’s do this one more time! We’ve got our full spoiler thoughts about Across the Spider-Verse, and big surprise–it’s a jaw-droppingly good work of art. We talk about the boundaries this movies pushes both visually and in its storytelling, the meta commentary on Spider-Man canon, upgrading Gwen to dual-protagonist without losing focus on Miles, Inspector Singh being the hottest man alive, the love for Spectacular Spider-Man and Spider-Man Unlimited, and of course, all those Spider-people!
