Would you believe us if we said this is THE BEST episode of Spider-Woman? A new archenemy who loves being a fly freak has ties to Jessica Drew’s backstory. Spider-Woman fights a little bionic guy and a giant scorpion. We get an extended origin flashback, genuine twists, and a plot you could see working in a Spider-Woman movie. This one’s got it all, baby!

We’re watching Spider-Woman: Season 1, Episode 11: “The Spider-Woman and the Fly”.

Spidey has to protect Jameson and Mary Jane from a very Kamen Rider-esque Beetle and his assault on the Daily Bugle! We talk about the limitations of casting J.K. Simmons, the challenges of utilizing the S.H.I.E.L.D. team, Mary Jane working as a journalist, and how some of the show’s best humor comes, shockingly, from Scott Mosier of Kevin Smith’s View Askewniverse.

We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 16: “Beetle Mania”.

Check your horoscope! A furry-headed villainous group called the Zodiac takes over S.H.I.E.L.D. and only Spidey and Nick Fury can stop them, resulting in an homage that’s equal parts James Bond and Die Hard! We talk about how this Brian Michael Bendis-penned episode utilizes the show’s unique sensibilities to do some solid genre parody.

We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 15: “For Your Eye Only”.

We’re back to the wackiness of the very beloved, not-at-all controversial or divisive Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon, in an episode that pits Spidey’s team against Juggernaut, a science fair, and a kaiju-sized android with a toddler’s brain. Normal stuff! We talk about the weirdness of the team dynamic (and how this episode kinda fails Luke Cage), Peter Parker’s ambiguous morality, all the giant naked men, and recalibrating to this show’s unique tone.

We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 14: “Awesome”.

It’s the SERIES FINALE of the iconic 90s Spider-Man cartoon! Get out your tissues, because Spidey ventures to a parallel universe filled with cameos and references – including his own giant robot and a girlfriend named Gwen Stacy – for a final conflict with Spider-Carnage that results in a shockingly emotional climax. We talk about why the ending isn’t the “cliffhanger” it’s made out to be, and what makes this such a stellar finale and one of the best episodes of the show.

We’re watching Spider-Man: The Animated Series: Season 5, Episode 13: ”Spider Wars, Chapter II: Farewell, Spider-Man”.

We’re at the FINAL TWO-PARTER of the iconic 90s Spider-Man cartoon, where our Spidey Prime leads a team of alternate universe Spider-Men to fight a reality-annihilating Spider-Carnage! We talk about how this episode condenses the entire comics clone saga into a few minutes of flashbacks (which somehow works?), whether this cosmic-scale finale feels earned, how the alt-Spideys reflect our Peter Parker, and of course we discuss the proverbial question… did John Semper “create the Spider-Verse”?

We’re watching Spider-Man: The Animated Series: Season 5, Episode 12: ”Spider Wars, Chapter I: I Really, Really Hate Clones”.

The Secret Wars conclude with Doctor Doom and The Thing front and center! But does it make sense for the antepenultimate episode of this long-running Spider-Man series to mostly be a Fantastic Four story? We talk about the quick wrap-up and Beyonder’s role as Cosmic Asshole, kinky nightmare demons, the worldbuilding we wish this arc had time to do, and whether Spider-Man proved himself to be even a remotely good leader (spoiler: he didn’t).

We’re watching Spider-Man: The Animated Series: Season 5, Episode 11: Secret Wars, Chapter III: Doom”.

Black Cat has joined the Secret Wars! But what begins as a clever subversion and interrogation of her role as Spidey’s crutch and comfort blanket quickly disintegrates into an episode where Cat has to be rescued a record number of times, the heroes mostly just walk across nondescript canyons that feel pulled out of the 60s show, Spidey does not actually succeed as a leader, and the weird pattern of only allowing one woman superhero on screen at a time continues.
