BODY SWAP! Peter Parker and Wolverine switch places in this incredibly fun and wacky adaptation of a famous Ultimate Spider-Man comics story, and it’s full of great jokes, a shocking amount of violence (the funny kind!), and Steve Blum absolutely nailing it, as usual.

We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 10: “Freaky”.

Thor is a frog now! Spidey and his team fight Loki and Frost Giants in Asgard with magical weapons based on their character traits! You’d think that would lead to a pretty wild episode, but somehow this less-exciting rehash of the first Thor movie is bizarrely forgettable. Frog Thor is cute, though!

We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 9: “Field Trip”.

Peter Parker should really take a sick day instead of fighting Venom, but here we are. This episode features a fascinating twist on the Venom formula with Harry Osborn trying to master the symbiote to impress his dad… but unfortunately, it has to devote a lot of time to snot jokes from Peter’s flu, prompting a continued conversation about the push-pull of what Marvel executives want this show to be versus what the creators seem to be trying to do.

We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 8: “Back in Black”.⁠

Ultimate Spider-Man does a found footage episode! As Mary Jane tries to get a big scoop on a Hulk attack, almost the entire story is told from the lens of her camera, leading to ambitious animation and incredibly creative storytelling choices. We discuss the challenges of animating in found footage style, the lack of cutaways, S.H.I.E.L.D. and cops as antagonists, and more! 

We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 7: “Exclusive”.⁠

Ultimate Spider-Man goes full Looney Tunes with a Taskmaster that manages to be formidable and dangerous, a cartoony Wile E. Coyote villain, and full-camp gay. Throw in a good use of White Tiger, a genuinely clever and well-written plot that addresses the consequences of this show’s entire premise, and non-stop zaniness, and you get our favorite episode yet.

We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 6: “Why I Hate Gym”.⁠

Ever wanted to see teen Spidey taken under Iron Man's wing, given Iron Man tech, and then learning a lesson about following his own path? Years before the MCU built its Iron Man/Spider-Man relationship, Ultimate Spider-Man did a version of it involving a techno-possession by Living Laser, a multidimensional murder, and the most "written by a committee of executives" ending we've ever seen.

Venom has arrived to crash the party! The S.H.I.E.L.D. stuff takes a backseat in this monster movie/bodysnatchers-style episode that explores how Peter’s superhero teammates are impacting his non-superhero friendship with Harry… complicated by a certain man-made symbiote ooze taking over people’s bodies to get back to its daddy. Also, we talk a weird amount about bidets.

We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 4: “Venom”.

Doctor Doom is a tiny guy inside a regular-sized guy! We try to keep track of this bananas, fast-paced whirlwind of a comedy episode, as it takes the “team unites” concept and amps it up with escalating gags and ridiculous twists. Plus, we dig into the Man of Action!

We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 3: “Doomed”.

Ultimate Spider-Man continues to set up its high-concept premise as Spidey officially joins S.H.I.E.L.D., which includes leading a team he doesn’t want made up of Marvel heroes who don’t like him. We discuss this show’s place alongside the then-young MCU (this episode introduces animated Phil Coulson, after all) and groan over a motorcycle sequence that goes way too long. Who wants Spider-Man on a motorcycle, anyway?!

We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 2: “Great Responsibility”.

You’ve heard an amazing podcast, but are you ready to hear the ULTIMATE podcast? We’ve finally begun our deep dive into the long-running, comedic, and at times controversial Spider-Man cartoon: Ultimate Spider-Man! We explore the strange legal circumstances this unique series was born out of, Disney’s hilariously confusing Marvel animated universes, the massive pedigree of creators working on the show (hint: it’s a lot of Batman people), and its very complicated legacy.

We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 1: “Great Power”.
