Walloping Websnappers! A Spider-Man Podcast

We’ve reached the end of the first season of the very first Spider-Man cartoon, and Cassie and Tommy Proffitt of Distant Echoes: A Star Wars Podcast have joined us for a genuinely funny episode! First, Scorpion drinks a bunch of chemicals that turn him into a fun-loving, car-stomping kaiju. Then, the Fly Twins return to play a bunch of pranks while being absolutely stoned out of their minds. We’re...

Comic writer Lan Pitts ( Psycho Goreman, Beast Heart! Strikers, WWE ) joins us for the Spidey ‘67 episode that launched a thousand memes! “Me and the boys” get together to form a Sinister Three-and-a-Half, while a Shakespearean twist on Chameleon masquerades as Spidey… and to everyone’s surprise, two Spider-Men point at each other. We’re watching Spider-Man (1967) : Season 1, Episode 19: “To Catch...

Stik Braxton (author and host of Clueless Vino and Too Tall Boyz ) joins us for a pair of bizarre ‘67 Spidey stories involving the Fountain of Youth, Ponce de Leon, a destructive violin, and a very 60s take on this newfangled rock and roll fad! Plus, we get one of the worst child characters we’ve ever encountered. We’re watching Spider-Man (1967) : Season 1, Episode 18: “Fountain of Terror” and “F...

We’re joined by Shadia Amin, artist of Marvel and Scholastic’s Spider-Ham graphic novels, for ‘67 Spidey episodes full of magic and missiles! Doc Ock gets his hands on a big ol’ missile that everyone calls a “nullifier” for some reason, and Green Goblin gets his hands on magic spells that help him steal from parking meters and get axed in the butt. It’s not the show’s best outing! We’re watching S...

Set your clocks and stay out of the shadows in this week’s ‘67 Spidey episode! Dr. William Lester of Blackwater Media joins to discuss J. Jonah Jameson’s obsessive need to fix an entire clock tower, which gets him tangled up in a rocket-powered Vulture’s plot! Then, Spidey is plagued by shadow creatures that just happen to be created by one of our all-time favorite villains! We’re watching Spider-...

It’s officially the horniest episode of our podcast, thanks in part to guest Chris Cummins of Sci-Fi Explosion! We talk about a Spidey ‘67 episode with a huge twist that Derek accidentally spoiled last week, and the most lubed-up, spicy, innuendo-laden supervillain we’ve ever covered. We’re watching Spider-Man (1967) : Season 1, Episode 15: “The Spider and the Fly” and “The Slippery Doctor Von Sch...

Nick Cagnetti, cartoonist and creator of the comic Pink Lemonad e, joins us for a silly Spidey ‘67 story about Rhino adorably expressing his self-love! Then, we try to unravel the plot of that famous supervillain The Plotter (and a couple of Enforcers), including a detour to a hippie beatnik club! What some cats won’t do for attention, man. We’re watching Spider-Man (1967) : Season 1, Episode 14:...

A ghost ship AND a ghost theater?! Zach from the Spidey-Dude Radio Network joins us for the most Scooby-Doo-style stories we’ve gotten yet, as Spidey faces pirates, Mysterio, the raging sea, a magician, and even old stage actors! Plus, web-swords and lots of guns. We’re watching Spider-Man (1967) : Season 1, Episode 13: “Return of the Flying Dutchman” and “Farewell Performance”. Find Zach’s Podcas...

Katie from the Novel Gaming podcast returns to help us break down a very good and very bad pair of Spidey ‘67 segments! The good: A fun romp with an invisible doctor who’s out to frame J. Jonah Jameson. The bad: Another very racist villain in a pretty bad story. Yikes! We’re watching Spider-Man (1967) : Season 1, Episode 12: “Spider-Man Meets Doctor Noah Boddy” and “The Fantastic Fakir”. Find Kati...

We’ve returned to the very first Spider-Man cartoon, and Joel and Kevin of the May the Power Protect You podcast are along for the ride! We talk about two segments featuring original villains who recreate historical or mythological foes for Spidey – from Blackbeard and Jesse James to Cerberus and Vulcan, god of fire. We’re watching Spider-Man (1967) : Season 1, Episode 11: “The Night of the Villai...

Green Goblin attacks on Halloween, with full knowledge of Spidey’s secret identity and a hilariously petty revenge plot on J. Jonah Jameson! We discuss how this episode is nearly a carbon copy of the first Amazing Friends episode, and its fascinating “clip show” style of recapping backstory from the comics that never appeared in this show. We’re watching Spider-Man (1981) : Season 1, Episode 10: “...

Lions, tigers, and crocodiles, oh my! Spidey goes to the carnival, but it’s no fun and games when the Ringmaster frames him with hypnotic gas. We talk about Aunt May as a thrill-seeking rollercoaster lover, circus animals going on the attack, cages made of gold, and the worst character of all time giving one of the weirdest line flubs of all time. We’re watching Spider-Man (1981) : Season 1, Episo...

Did you already watch the 1981 episode “Doctor Doom, Master of the World”? Then you’ve already seen this episode. I guess we’re podcasting about it anyway! We’re watching Spider-Man (1981) : Season 1, Episode 8: “The Doctor Prescribes Doom”.

Want to check out Mysterio’s new disco club? It doesn’t actually play disco music, but it does control your brain! Peter has to ditch play practice in his Roman centurion costume to join the wandering zombie horde and J. Jonah Jameson almost walks off a ledge to his death in this fun music-themed episode. We’re watching Spider-Man (1981) : Season 1, Episode 7: “The Pied Piper of New York Town”. We...

You’d think Magneto amplifying his magnetic powers and taking down all the world’s satellites while Spidey is launched into space would be a riveting episode… but wow, you’d be wrong! Let’s get this one over with. We’re watching Spider-Man (1981) : Season 1, Episode 6: When Magneto Speaks… People Listen”.

We return to the 1981 solo Spider-Man cartoon with a Sandman episode that, to our surprise, is somehow one of the horniest episodes we’ve ever watched. It’s also clunky and slow-paced, and features one of the most bizarre nightmare characters ever created in Sally-Ann Beaumont. We’re watching Spider-Man (1981) : Season 1, Episode 5: “The Sandman is Coming”. Website ⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠ Patreon ⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠...

This week, we’re releasing three of our comics-centered Patreon bonus episodes in one neat package! We talk about three classic 60s storylines from The Amazing Spider-Man : the “Spidey Goes Hollywood” issue that has inspired multiple adaptations, the “Green Goblin Unmasked” storyline, and the beloved “Spider-Man No More” tale! Reading List: The Amazing Spider-Man #14 by Stan Lee & Steve Ditko...

The first season of Spider-Man (2017) comes to a close with an episode that proves once and for all that Harry Osborn was the real main character all along, and we dive deep into how his story accurately portrays gaslighting. We also discuss how the show has changed since its debut (and why it may have to do with a departing showrunner), the missteps with Miles and Uncle Ben, another great “If Thi...

The Sinister Six fully debuts, featuring its newest member… Spider-Man?! The first season finale of Spider-Man (2017) begins with wall-to-wall action and great animation, a neat reinvention of Steel Spider, and a surprisingly heroic entrance for Harry Osborn as Hobgoblin. We’re watching Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017) : Season 1, Episode 24: “Hobgoblin, Part One”. Website ⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠ Patreon ⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠...

Teen superheroes in robot mechs shoot lasers at spider-monsters! Anya continues to kick ass! Miles finally gets to do something! Peter and Harry have an even bigger falling out! The Spider-Island arc concludes with a whammy of an episode (and we conclude that this arc needed more Max Modell.) We’re watching Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017) : Season 1, Episode 23: “Spider-Island, Part Five”. Website ⁠⁠⁠⁠...

We’ve got a city full of spider-monsters. We’ve got Anya kicking ass. We’ve got semi-spider-mutant Norman Osborn fighting the Jackal. We’ve got everyone asking “Where’s Miles?” And we’ve got the big moment we’ve all been waiting for between Peter and Harry. This is a big one, folks! We’re watching Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017) : Season 1, Episode 22: “Spider-Island, Part Four”. Website ⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠ Pa...

The Spider-Monsters are here! Well, Gwen-Monster and the Stealth-Spider-Monster are, at least, and Kraven shows up to hunt them. Plus, Peter swings around without his Spider-suit! Anya kicks ass! Harry...does not kick ass, but he does drive a sick battle van! We’re watching Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017) : Season 1, Episode 21: “Spider-Island, Part Three”. Website ⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠ Patreon ⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠ Disco...

The whole city’s got spider powers now – which makes for a jealous Peter Parker – but this episode is more interested in a spy story with Black Widow and HYDRA. But hey, we also get more Spider-Gwen… and finally, the triumphant return of Anya! We’re watching Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017) : Season 1, Episode 20: “Spider-Island, Part Two”. Website ⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠ Patreon ⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠ Discord ⁠⁠⁠⁠ Contact us...

The beginning of this epic five-parter gives us not one, but two new Spider-folks! Spider-Gwen makes her unexpected arrival alongside the mysterious Stealth Spider, and they all have to contend with Harry Osborn’s flame sword, loads of technobabble, and a climax that weirdly foreshadows No Way Home. We’re watching Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017) : Season 1, Episode 19: “Spider-Island, Part One”. Websit...

The Doc Ock saga concludes with, surprisingly, the biggest Osborn-centric episode so far – with major progression in Harry and Peter’s degrading friendship, the Norman/Jackal war coming to a head, the formation a Sinister…uh…Five, and oh yeah I guess Otto is kinda there too? We’re watching Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017) : Season 1, Episode 18: “The Rise of Doc Ock, Part Four”. Website ⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠ Patr...
