S4E2 – OnlyFISK 2.0: Prison Peepers | The Cat

This week we’re covering season 4, episode 2 of Spider-Man: The Animated Series – The Cat!

After some tangents into Jack’s dreams and Henry’s masochistic movie-watching, we dive into a tale of WW2 spies, Sam Eliot lookalikes and a new addition to the OnlyFISK lineup. Yes, it’s a sequel. Also, Doc Ock is here. Maybe he’ll be less embarrassed if we pretend we didn’t see him.

Moving on from Nick Fury’s ramshackle operation, we briefly talk about The Cat’s origins in the comics as well as his mentor, Black Fox. Oh, and there’s an update on Mud-Thing! For all you Weird Loreheads.

S4E1 – If The Diaper Doesn’t Fit, You Must Acquit | Guilty

This week we’re covering season 4, episode 1 of Spider-Man: The Animated Series – Guilty!

Robbie Robertson, the reigning dad of last season, is drawing a glock again – but this time it’s a lazer gun, and he has no idea how it ended up in his hands. But there’s a man that would risk his neck for his brother man, who won’t cop out when there’s danger all about: Jigsaw Jameson.

JJ dons the original trench coat and fedora, suiting up into his alt costume as the hero this city deserves. After all, this is a town with gaslighting cabbies, the irredeemable Baby Joe’s, and a place where Robbie Robertson of all people is considered a lucky man.

For our comics segment we talk about the Spectacular J. Jonah Jameson noir story from 1983, then jump into Joe “Robbie” Robertson’s origins as a Lee-Romita creation, while Jack figures out just how many times he’s quit the Bugle, been fired from the Bugle, and how many times he’s fired our down-on-his-luck photographer. All of the reasons are insane.

THE HOBGOBLIN’s Comic Origins

We recently talked about The Hobgoblin in our latest episode of Weird Lore Bullshit Corner, where we talk about Spider-Man’s weirdest and wackiest stories.

You can find that here, on all the podcasty places, or scroll further down to see the panels and notes behind that and his decades-long mystery identity…

The Hobgoblin made his debut in the pages of The Amazing Spider-Man #238 in 1983 – and for his first appearance on the scene, you can listen or look over the notes for our first Hobgoblin episode back in the day, which covered from his first appearance to the end of their first battle.

Weird Lore BS #11: The HOBGOBLIN

Welcome to another addition of Weird Lore Bullshit Corner, in which we ask the question: Who is the Hobgoblin? And yes, we know you can just google that answer, but the mystery isn’t about the resolution, it’s about the mind-breaking confusion we suffer along the way…

Who the F*** Is The Hobgoblin?

This episode has everything: red herrings, toupée shenanigans, groin pulls, group blackmail, robots, evil twins, clones, demons and cyborgs! Also, there’s a medieval-looking dude who rides a stolen goblin glider who may or may not be the real deal or a brainwashed sap during any one comic panel. Tune in to descend into madness with two jerks locked in a basement somewhere.
