Walloping Websnappers! A Spider-Man Podcast

Yep, it’s another Mysterio episode with that title! This time we’re joined by Eric Berry of fellow Four-Eyed Radio shows Ranger Command Power Hour and Starfleet Escape Podcast for Mysterio’s 1967 cartoon hijinx! This typical Spider-Man frame-up still presents us with some weird surprises, including that Mysterio is secretly...a Vulcan?! Find Eric online Twitter: @trekkieb47 Ranger Command Power Ho...

We’re joined by Craig Byrne of KryptonSite and KSiteTV to chat about the second episode of Spider-Man ‘67! Classic villains Electro and The Lizard (or...Lizard Man?) make their animated debut in ways that are sometimes strikingly comic accurate, and other times bafflingly not at all.   Find Craig online KSiteTV: https://www.ksitetv.com/ Twitter: @KSiteTV ⁠ Website ⁠ | ⁠ Patreon ⁠ | ⁠ Discord ⁠ Con...

We’re celebrating Episode #100 by going back to the beginning -- the very first episode of the very first Spider-Man cartoon! We dive into the astounding talent that worked on the 1967 Spider-Man and its iconic theme song, dig up archived materials from Stan Lee himself, and learn all about the fascinating history of the first season. Then, we chat about the two segments in this episode, including...

Green Goblin is in the Hulkbuster! Spider-Man has a bus full of people hanging by a thread! The Spider-Man arc of Marvel Future Avengers closes with a brutal, action-packed bang, and we give our overall thoughts on this fun anime. ⁠ Website ⁠ | ⁠ Patreon ⁠ | ⁠ Discord ⁠ Contact us: @WallopingWebPod on ⁠Twitter⁠ , ⁠Facebook⁠ , and ⁠Instagram⁠ Email: ⁠wallopingwebsnapperspodcast@gmail.com⁠ Theme son...

Marvel Future Avengers continues as Spidey and the remaining Avengers try to untangle a very obvious political murder plot and take down Norman Osborn, who -- surprise! -- turns out to be the Green Goblin. Meanwhile, Hulk and Makoto fight a random forest fire, while Wasp just kinda chills.  ⁠ Website ⁠ | ⁠ Patreon ⁠ | ⁠ Discord ⁠ Contact us: @WallopingWebPod on ⁠Twitter⁠ , ⁠Facebook⁠ , and ⁠Instag...

Marvel’s newest anime is closer to what you’d expect from an Avengers series than Marvel Disk Wars was, but Marvel Future Avengers is still packed with surprises! We’re covering the beginning of a standalone Spider-Man arc, which features a creepy Green Goblin, a Civil War-inspired plot, and a nuanced emotional connection between Hulk and our anime boy protagonist.  ⁠ Website ⁠ | ⁠ Patreon ⁠ | ⁠ D...

Our patron Lillian Grimes joins us as we return to The Spectacular Spider-Man ’s Sinister Six Christmas! We dive into this show’s portrayal of neurodiversity, particularly how our beloved Otto Octavius presents as a character on the autism spectrum. Plus, we revisit that horrible CGI Christmas tree, Peter’s girl troubles, and much more. Check out the Spidersonas Lillian created for us! Our origina...

The first season of Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends ends with an infamous episode that only aired once because of its Nazi imagery, but it’s the most fascinating installment yet! We dig into how it frankly addresses Nazi ideology and WWII, how a Saturday morning cartoon can present uncomfortable real-world history responsibly, this episode’s educational value, and the complicated portrayal of H...

Kingpin’s got two new superpowered lackeys working for him -- Iceman and Captain America! It’s a mini-Civil War when Spider-Man and Firestar clash with Iceman to convince him that he’s working for the bad guys, especially when the plan involves stealing a gun that can literally do anything (except have a better self-destruct failsafe). Can Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends become a team again?! ⁠...

Oh boy, this one’s a doozy. It would be enough for this Dungeons & Dragons-themed episode of Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends to feature dimension-hopping wizards, dragons, and awkward pseudo-feminist commentary. But the wildly different animation also creates a schism in the podcast that brings out loopiness never-before-seen on the main feed, with some of the weirdest conversations we’ve e...

Loki has a plan to get back at his pesky half-brother Thor, and the Spider-Friends get caught in the middle! Firestar and Spidey face the cold and a fake God of Thunder, Iceman deals with Frost Giant marriage woes, and poor Erik the Viking has no idea what’s going on. Just a typical day for  Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends ! ⁠ Website ⁠ | ⁠ Patreon ⁠ | ⁠ Discord ⁠ Contact us: @WallopingWebPod o...

Hooray for Hollywood! Spidey gets cast in a deadly movie thanks to a nefarious plot by Mysterio -- who, in typical Mysterio fashion, is as extra as possible about everything. And among the myriad trap doors, mechanical gorilla hands, flesh-covered robots, and director’s chest hair? Special guest The Incredible Hulk!  ⁠ Website ⁠ | ⁠ Patreon ⁠ | ⁠ Discord ⁠ Contact us: @WallopingWebPod on ⁠Twitter⁠...

Sincere heart-to-hearts between superhero buds? Aunt May and Ms. Lion arguably saving the day? A warden and sheriff convention (?) in a prison (??) that makes cops look like complete, useless buffoons? This episode of Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends has it all, as the Spider-Friends try to foil Magneto’s plot to release his mutant friends and possibly nuke the entire planet! Note: We incorrectl...

There’s a new Venom in town, and Spidey’s gotta figure out his identity! This surprisingly football-themed episode of Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017) sets up a fun mystery with a solid roster of suspects (Tony Stark? Max Modell? Flash Thompson?) but the details and payoff aren’t exactly a touchdown. At least this version of Flash rules! ⁠ Website ⁠ | ⁠ Patreon ⁠ | ⁠ Discord ⁠ Contact us: @WallopingWebP...

Anyone else feel that chill? Go into the unknown with a crisp new episode of Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017), featuring a villain who feels frosty about being treated like a low-level mook, while disagreements put Peter and Harry’s increasingly frigid friendship on thin ice. Yes, there are absolutely Frozen references in our coverage of this episode, just let it go. Website ⁠ | ⁠ Patreon ⁠ | ⁠ Discord...

We’re joined by A.P. from Ranger Command Power Hour to revisit one of our favorite first season episodes of Spider-Man: The Animated Series , a perfect sampling of all things 90s Spider-Man! We consider a new perspective on Mysterio’s origin story, why this Peter Parker doesn’t hold up, the introduction of the awesome Terri Lee, and much more. A.P. on Twitter: @SecretRangerFan Ranger Command Power...

The Hulk! Man-Wolf! Werewolves! Hulk-Wolf! Or is it Wolf-Hulk? This Halloween episode of Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017) is this show at its goofiest, even when it brings in some emotional conflict for Harry. But hey, it’s got Hulk and a bunch of werewolves... for “medical purposes”. ⁠ Website ⁠ | ⁠ Patreon ⁠ | ⁠ Discord ⁠ Contact us: @WallopingWebPod on ⁠Twitter⁠ , ⁠Facebook⁠ , and ⁠Instagram⁠ Email:...

Miles Morales continues his debut as the new Spider-Man as he and Peter have to confront the horrors of… reality TV! Spider-Man (2017)’s sharp-toothed version of Kraven hosts his own TV show, yielding fun fourth-wall breaking jokes and affectionate television production satire, but also has some archaic attempts at “commentary” on reality TV. ⁠ Website ⁠ | ⁠ Patreon ⁠ | ⁠ Discord ⁠ Contact us: @Wa...

Jim Krieg, writer on Spider-Man: The Animated Series joins us to revisit his first ever episode, “Hydro-Man”! We discuss what it was like to write on this iconic series, including how they approached this episode’s serious subject matter, what changed from earlier drafts, and even learn about some secret references. Plus, we discuss what makes a good Peter Parker, and Jim tells us about working on...

No, we’re not talking about that Ultimate Spider-Man. We’re talking about the episode of Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017) that brings Miles Morales to the forefront! In rapid succession, we’re given Miles’s superhero origin story, his emergence as a new Spider-Man, and then his subsequent team-up with the first Spider-Man in the midst of a giant father/son robot fight. Yeah, this episode literally has a...

Oh, did you think we were done with the black suit stuff? This episode of Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017) might seem like a fun Iron Man crossover when Ghost attacks, but it actually brings the dangling symbiote-related plotlines to a close while seeding potential future stories for Max, Otto, Harry, and even Flash. We discuss the quiet introduction of Otto’s tentacles, the use (or lack thereof) of cer...

Symbiote Spidey is now in full swing in Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017), and it features some high peaks and low valleys -- including a very obnoxious “cool and confident” Peter and a surprisingly fun take on a Spider-Man vs. symbiote battle. We dig into the startling lack of consequences for Peter’s actions, the fascinating involvement of Norman Osborn, and the rapid pace at which this all happens. ⁠...

What appears to be a run-of-the-mill villain introduction turns out to be the best installment of Spider-Man (2017) yet! Full of great twists, this episode uses deep cuts and new spins on what we’d expect to create a very compelling new villain. Oh, and did we mention it’s also the first appearance of this show’s symbiote suit?  ⁠ Website ⁠ | ⁠ Patreon ⁠ | ⁠ Discord ⁠ Contact us: @WallopingWebPod...

Horizon High throws their first ever dance specifically in honor of one student who doesn’t even go to that school anymore. Awkward! Luckily, they have a spontaneously-transformed Rhino to break the tension in this episode of Spider-Man (2017) ! We discuss the rapidly wrapped-up Jackal plotline, the fascinating stuff this show is doing with sweet, wonderful Harry, and why this version of Norman Os...

Black Cat brings bad luck and Peter’s new daily routine gets complicated in a hefty episode of Spider-Man (2017) ! We discuss Black Cat’s powers, the intriguing history all the adult characters have, and why it feels weird for Venom to come into play so early (seriously, the symbiote is already here!) And as the show settles into its groove, we dig deep into its particular strengths and flaws, and...
