Episode 10 – VENOM | Our Big Black Friend
Face front, true believers!

Episode 9 – Mothershocker
Face front, true believers!
This week we’re covering S1E9: ‘The Alien Costume Part Two’.
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 sensation, Fisky & The Smythe.
After our talk about the ninth episode of the series, we look into the origins of Shocker in The Amazing Spider-Man #46, back when he was just a safe cracker (in more ways than one). You know it, dad.
Then, we delve into how Spider-Man loses the symbiote costume in The Amazing Spider-Man #258, and how it returns to screw with his wardrobe in Web of Spider-Man #1.
Swing-Tangent – Ranking the MCU
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 with the previous Swing-Tangent, Henry and Jack ended up dedicating an entire episode to ranking the MCU.
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. Just wait until you see who nabs the top spot on Jack’s list, and how Henry just can’t handle the truth (guess who writes these descriptions).
In this trying time, the only thing we can all agree on is that Thor: The Dark World sucks.
Swing-Tangent – Spider-Man’s Infinite Endgame
This week we’re stepping away from the animated series for a stop-off in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. For the first of our Swing-Tangents, we’re talking Avengers: Endgame and Avengers: Infinity War – but specifically how everyone’s favourite webslinger factors into them.
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 relationship with Iron Man, and what future movies will have in store for him.

Episode 8 – The Rhino Gig Economy
Face front, true believers!
This episode we’re covering S1E8: ‘The Alien Costume Part One’.
We delve into the first part of the trilogy that’ll bring us into the world of symbiotes and some of the best of the ’90s. This time Henry and Jack are distracted by Aerosmith, the Rhino is stuck in a zero-hour contract, and Kingpin just wants his bread. While the cast come together for the opening of this mini-saga, Spider-Man tries to do the right thing -but things go all John Wick 3 thanks to the Spider-Man Justice System.
Then, after our talk about the eighth episode of the series, we look into the origins of Rhino in The Amazing Spider-Man #41-43, and how he eventually comes into play in the pages of The Incredible Hulk. Then, we touch on the alien costume from the comics with a look back to Secret Wars #8.
