That 90s Spider-Man Show

Just in time for Eternals to come out and with Hawkeye just around the corner, we decided now was the perfect time to talk about the MCU stuff that came out this year that everyone has already watched, talked about, and moved on from. Or have they? I don't know what's happening outside my flat anymore. This bonus swing-tangent is all about Shang-Chi: The Legend of the Ten Rings, the long-awaited B...

What if a man could portal anywhere? And what if he wore those portals all over his body like some sort of dalmation man? We mark this landmark occasion with a character that starts weird and gets weirder.

So what's Carnage's deal? Normally, we cover comic book origins in our regular episodes – but there was so much insane lore to go through with Cletus Kasady we decided to go ahead and do a whole episode on it.

Season 3 Episode 10: Venom Returns Review – 44:27 Comic Talk – 51:39 Venom is back with a bang, and before you can say "aw s***, here we go again" Eddie's trolling is has led to a far worse kind of extremely online crazy: Carnage the slack-jawed yokel.   Ol' Cletus is Chucky meets Joker meets one of the chans, but a pessimistic Peter is here with some back-up from a George Foreman-powered War Mach...

Season 3 Episode 8: The Ultimate Slayer Recap – 2:57 Review – 43:06 Comic Origins – 50:34 This episode is a riot.

Season 3 Episode 3: Attack of the Octobot Recap – 2:33 Review – 30:24 Comic Origins – 34:40 Spider-Man has amnesia and Doc Ock has convinced him he's his partner in crime. It's a story so ridiculous it MUST be based on a comic book. It's up to Tiana to remind Spidey of his superheroism, with cab driver Mousey in tow to dish out James Brown wisdom, bad Jamaican accents and tales of coconut wagons....

Season 3 Episode 2: Make A Wish Recap – 1:40 Review – 26:00 Doc Ock is back on the scene after getting screwed over by the Disney Corp- uh I mean the Hardy Foundation once again, and it's up to our hero to stop him.

The Neogenic Nightmare is finally done, so we're discussing the season as a whole! We talk about our favourite (and least favourite) episodes, before jumping into the real discussion: who's the biggest loser this season? And why does Henry hate old people? It's hard to narrow it down, because this season is absolutely full to the brim with losers – but we've got our choices for winners and losers,...
