Spider-Man ventures underground to fight a subterranean society of furry blue people in this send-up to Jules Verne! David from the Are You My Mother and Gimmicks podcasts joins us for this fantastical episode with stolen banks, an out-of-nowhere Scooby-Doo twist, and yet another resentful and mean Peter Parker.

We’re watching Spider-Man (1967): Season 2, Episode 5: “Menace from the Bottom of the World”.

Peter Parker tries to join the school football team and woo his latest love interest, but the teen drama is rudely interrupted when an airship-themed villain kidnaps the star player! The delightful Merrilee returns for this oddly structured episode of the ‘67 Spidey toon that includes Skymaster, one of our new favorite original villains who could rival Doctor Doom as a top-tier Marvel villain and should be the next big bad of the MCU.

We’re watching Spider-Man (1967): Season 2, Episode 4: “Criminals in the Clouds”.

Spidey faces… the final act of Avengers: Age of Ultron?! Enrique from (Un)Popped Podcast joins us as an evil green-skinned scientist makes the island of Manhattan float in the sky and forces Peter to miss his date! We talk about Enrique’s experiences watching the ‘67 Spider-Man cartoon in El Salvador, how the visuals of this show help distract from the recycled animation and lighter narrative, Peter being too distracted by girls to be into science, and more!

We’re watching Spider-Man (1967): Season 2, Episode 3: “Swing City”.

Spider-Man 1967 continues its rebooted story as Peter Parker gets a job at the Daily Bugle! Chris Cummins of Sci-Fi Explosion returns for this surprisingly grounded episode, which has Spidey face off against the first animated appearance of Kingpin to uncover a pharmaceutical conspiracy that’s surprisingly relevant to today. Plus, we talk about how modern weird internet comedy might have drawn inspiration from this show’s use of repeated footage!

We’re watching Spider-Man (1967): Season 2, Episode 2: “King Pinned”.

We’re going back to the beginning in more ways than one, as the second season of the original 1967 Spider-Man cartoon reboots itself! With a brand new animation studio headed by prolific counterculture icon Ralph Bakshi (pre-Fritz the Cat and Lord of the Rings), the new season starts off with a faithful retelling of Spidey’s origin, complete with psychedelic sequences, watercolor backgrounds, and plenty of cost-cutting.

We’re watching Spider-Man (1967): Season 2, Episode 1: “The Origin of Spider-Man”.

Did you know we almost got a mini-Spectacular Spider-Man reunion in 2012? We’re covering the infamous episode of the critically-acclaimed Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes series… the one where Josh Keaton’s big Spider-Man appearance was re-recorded by Drake Bell for frustrating reasons. But despite the minor controversy overshadowing it, this episode shows off the clever storytelling, sharp character writing, and gorgeous animation that make this a top-tier Avengers series.

We’re watching Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes: Season 2, Episode 13: “Along Came a Spider…”.

All of this season’s major threads come to head (literally) when the Doc Ock-inhabited Living Brain attempts to switch bodies with Spider-Man – all alongside a fast-paced battle through a supervillain prison, a proper Spider-Men/Spider-Girl team-up, and an appropriately bleak start to this show’s Superior Spider-Man adaptation.

We’re watching Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017): Season 2, Episode 13: “The Living Brain”.

Spider-Man spends this episode being the most relatable he’s ever been – very, very tired and exhausted. As Peter is forced to get some rest, Miles takes the reins to solve a mystery with his new robot buddy Living Brain, who is definitely not evil and definitely not behind all of this!

We’re watching Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017): Season 2, Episode 12: “Brain Drain”.

The Bad Guys finally finish getting broughten in the final two segments! First, Spidey meets one of our new favorite Electros, a haphazard inventor lady who electrocutes herself into oblivion. Then, the arc concludes with a mastermind Chameleon, two J. Jonah Jamesons, and another miscasting of Patton Oswalt.

We’re watching Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017): Season 2, Episode 12: “Bring on the Bad Guys, Part Four”.

It might be close to Christmas, but it’s still Halloween for Jack O’Lantern – and this hysterical cackling version of him who just wants cash to buy more Halloween decorations is an absolute joy. Then, in the second segment, Spidey fights and then teams up with Prowler (whose suit we wish was cooler) against robo-Silvermane… somehow prompting yet another Miles Morales conversation from us.  

We’re watching Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017): Season 2, Episode 10: “Bring on the Bad Guys, Part Three”.
