Face front, true believers!
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 race 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 Spider-Man #6.
Then, Jack has some weird lore bullshit to share with Henry from the mystery box. If you’ve heard of it before now, you’re one weird dude.

Further notes:
As mentioned in the podcast, here are some visual cues for what we’re talking about during the comic origin section. First, here’s that origin issue for Curt Conners in The Amazing Spider-Man #6.
Those darn web swamp shoes:
The Florida Man story that starts off the adventure down South.
Peter convincing Jonah to let him head down and take some photos.
In our Weird Lore Bullshit Corner, we talk about Spidey Super Stories #25, which you can find in full here.
Here’s the infamous… Web-Man.
Doctor Doom creating him with his mirror doubling machine, making him with “none of Spidey’s goodness”.
Web-Man dubs himself ‘Webby’, and Doom joins in.
Some more classic Webby quotes.
Webby-Two is named, after his short-lived life is over.
Spidey ends on the world’s worst (best?) pun.
And that’s all for this week. If you haven’t already, you can check out our introductory Episode Zero here, or see what went down in ‘The Spider Slayer’ in our next episode.
