Face front, true believers!

This episode we’re covering S1E7: ‘Kraven the Hunter’.

We delve into what is the most ridiculous episode of the 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 episode of the series, we look into the origins of Kraven in The Amazing Spider-Man #15. Then we touch on Sony’s plans for a cinematic universe, and Henry pitches a Kraven movie that might just work…

Episode 6 – Everybody Hates the Scorpion

Face front, true believers!

This episode we’re covering S1E6: ‘The Sting of the Scorpion’.

Wherever Mac ‘MRA’ Gargan goes, insults and injustice follow. Is this cruel and unfair? Yes. Does he deserve this? The answer is also yes.

His monkey 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 by everyone he meets, including the extra-dimensional beings recording a podcast about him. Robbie Robertson on the other hand… is a father figure to us all.

Meanwhile, we find out why Jonah hates Spider-Man so much, what millennial invention can be credited to Peter Parker, and discuss the insurance policies of the frequently-exploding Oscorp.

Then, after our talk about the sixth episode of the series, we look into the origins of Scorpion in The Amazing Spider-Man #20!​

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 ask: Is there anything J Jonah Jameson WON’T fund?

Episode 4 – Doctor Octopus Logs In

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? 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?

Episode 3 – Giant Spider Robot Family Therapy

Face front, true believers!

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.

Episode 1 – Curt Conners, the Original Florida Man

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.Continue reading “Episode 1 – Curt Conners, the Original Florida Man”

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.
