That 90s Spider-Man Show

It's the season finale: Day of the Chameleon! We've come to the final episode of season one, so after a quick round-up of the Hobgoblin comics Jack's been reading, we're jumping right into an all-new villain. But first, an old one: audio difficulties. (our mic was faulty this week so we went back to the basics with a lil drop in quality. Sorry guys) What do you get when you mix Grace Jones, Scarle...

This time we're covering episode 12: The Hobgoblin Part Two! Face front, true believers! This week we're talking Bob Hoskins… I mean Gobhoblin… I mean Hobgoblin part two! After last week's cliffhanger, we talk about what a Spider-Man: The Animated Series kart game would look like and eventually talk about the episode in question – discovering the ultimate arch-enemy: the unnamed jerk doctor. After...

We're talking the post-credit scenes from Far From Home, the future of the MCU, and more easter eggs! Those two post-credit scenes sure were something, huh? We go into what went down and unpack what it could all mean for the future of the MCU, while Jack delves further into some of the comic book easter eggs, references and adaptations.

We're talking Spider-Man: Far From Home! Take a breather, true believers, Mysterio is actually here in a real life movie and we are kind of beside ourselves. Are we too giddy to actually evaluate whether or not this is a good movie? Does Jake Gyllenhaal go full Okja? What does Jack like more, Sam Raimi or trains? It's time to review the latest MCU entry, first with some non-spoiler thoughts, then...

This week we're covering S1E11: 'The Hobgoblin Part One'. Mark Hamill is on the scene as Hobgoblin, leading to a lot of weird detours into folklore and some misguided attempts to rhyme. Hob heads to the top of the freelancing pool, setting up a bizarre love triangle with Smythe and the Kingpin of Crime(and muscle). Most importantly, Jack makes a case for the 100% body fat super saiyan, we delve in...

We're re-releasing some of our old Weird Lore BS Corner segments from our early episodes, before we start recording them as separate minisodes. This episode originally appeared as part of Episode 4: Doctor Octopus Logs In. This week it's time to talk about the long relationship that blossomed between Aunt May and… Doctor Octopus? Yep, those two had a wedding, there were love letters, there was nuc...

We're re-releasing some of our old Weird Lore BS Corner segments from our early episodes, before we start recording them as separate minisodes. This episode originally appeared as part of Episode 3: Giant Spider Robot Family Therapy. This week we're looking at recent Spider-verse entrant Spiders-Man, who debuted in Spider-Geddon – as well as a more obscure, more self-conscious Spiders-Man from Ear...

This time we're covering episode 10: 'The Alien Costume Part Three'. Face front, true believers! The Alien Costume saga draws to a close, which means Venom is finally here to mess with Peter Parker's life and eventually spawn one of the worst Eminem songs of all time. Jack and Henry talk about the gloopy gloop man, the legacy he left behind, and wonder how he pays his rent. Then Batman Forever com...

This episode originally appeared as part of Episode 2: No Spider Splat, No Hoverchair. This time we're looking at Frank Oliver aka THE KANGAROO, who made his debut in The Amazing Spider-Man #81! Comic panels and other additional notes at: Weird Lore Flashb...

This week it's episode 9: 'The Alien Costume Part Two'. Face front, true believers! We're one step further in the symbiote saga, but while there's plenty of Breaking Brock to go before he officially activates troll mode, there is enough time to introduce our latest supervillain jobber. The Shocker enters the fray, an after-thought from Alistair Smythe in between takes of his latest sitcom sensatio...

A supposedly fun movie ranking we'll never do again: it's time to pit the Marvel Cinematic Universe against itself. After running on a little longer than we thought, Henry and Jack ended up dedicating an entire episode to this particular SwingTangent. Henry somehow hasn't seen Ant-Man & the Wasp, but there's still plenty of OPINIONS to go around about how these movies weigh up against one another....

We're talking Avengers: Endgame and Avengers: Infinity War – but specifically how everyone's favourite webslinger factors into them both in the first of our SwingTangents. The MCU finally brought its multi-film Infinity Gauntlet arc to a close, and Spider-Man was there for the finale, ready to quip, get dusted, and cry on command. Jack and Henry talk about his best moments in these two movies, his...

S1E8: 'The Alien Costume Part One'. Face front, true believers! This week we overcome some software issues and delve into the first part of a trilogy that'll bring us into the world of symbiotes and some of the best '80s Spider-Man comics have to offer. This time Henry and Jack are distracted by Aerosmith, the Rhino is stuck in a zero-hour contract and the tightest costume in the business, and Kin...

This week we're covering episode 7: 'Kraven the Hunter'. This time we're delving into what is the most ridiculous episode of the Spider-Man: The Animated Series yet, with one Russian jungle-themed maniac called Kraven. Henry is in love with him, Robbie Robertson is confused by him, and Jack is too busy wondering how Zero Waste Blanka fits into all of this. Then, after our talk about the seventh ep...

Face front, true believers! This episode we're covering S1E6: 'The Sting of the Scorpion'. Wherever Mac 'MRA' Gargan goes, insults follow. Is this cruel and unfair? Yes. Does he deserve this? The answer is also yes. His monkey's paw wish to become one of Spider-Man's greatest villains doesn't exactly work out well for him, so he's left with the curse of being dunked on by everyone he meets, includ...

Face front, true believers! This episode we're covering S1E5: 'The Menace of Mysterio'. Jack loves Mysterio. Henry loves Mysterio. Mysterio definitely loves Mysterio. Now that we're all on the same page, we can finally talk about Uncle Ben, John Cusack, and DynoMutt, Dog Wonder. Aside from the rabbit hole of the dog superheroes wikipedia category, we can discuss martian worker's rights laws and as...

Face front, true believers! This episode we're covering S1E4: 'Doctor Octopus: Armed and Dangerous'. Henry and Jack have a lot to say about Doc Ock. Is he a dark mirror image of Peter Parker? How many legs does he have anyway? And how exactly does he buy clothes in the first place? Will comic book science give Henry an aneurysm, or will he relax and embrace the Spider-mobile? After our talk about...

This episode we're covering  S1E3: 'The Return of the Spider Slayers'. Alistair Smythe is back and that mullet seems to be cutting off the circulation to his brain, because he's got some needlessly elaborate schemes and *even more* spider robots to finish the job. Henry and Jack delve into what turns out to be the most fun episode yet, and not just because Eddie Brock has the worst day of his life...

Face front, true believers! This episode we're covering S1E2: 'The Spider Slayer'. There's a lot to cover here, from the Smythe family's unhealthy obsession with spiders to the Osborn family's baffling and frankly medically worrying haircuts. ​ Henry and Jack talk about the second episode of the series, before looking into the origins of the many introductions here – namely Spencer Smythe in The A...

This episode we're covering  S1E1: 'The Night of the Lizard'. There's a lot to unpack here, namely: Is John Malkovich the perfect casting for Mary Jane? How smart is Peter Parker anyway? Is The Lizard trying to start a inter-species war, or just a WeWork in the sewers? Henry and Jack check out the pilot episode to get some answers, before delving into the origins of the villain from The Amazing Sp...

That 90s Spider-Man Show sees us going through Spider-Man: The Animated Series episode-by-episode, but first, some introductions… For the first instalment of the podcast, Henry and Jack talk about their memories of that Spider-Man cartoon from the 90s, how we came to know the character, and what we expect to find revisiting it. A podcast for no one. If we get anything wrong, a wizard did it. Outro...
