X-Men (2000) Retrospective
In our latest Patreon episode, we look back to the Marvel movie that arguably launched the current superhero movie phenomenon with X-Men. Is it worth a second look? Is it a product of its time? How much exposition is too much exposition?
Has it really been 20 YEARS since this came out??

Not only that, but we’ll be discussing more X-Men movies on our Patreon feed in the future, as well as a special episode that will be making its way onto the regular podcast feed too. Who knows, we may end up watching every single one of them…

Recently, we put out the first of our Comic Book Club episodes with our discussion of the first 13 issues of Ultimate Spider-Man, a free version of what we’ll be doing on the regular for our Patreon feed. Now we’ve got another edition for you all.

Season 2 Review: Neogenic Losers
This week we’re covering the entirety of season 2 of Spider-Man: The Animated Series!
The Neogenic Nightmare is finally done, so we’re discussing the season as a whole! We talk about our favourite (and least favourite) episodes, before jumping into the real discussion: who’s the biggest loser this season?
It’s hard to narrow it down, because this season is absolutely full to the brim with losers – but we’ve got our choices for winners and losers, even if Henry manages to find a way to make the entire process confusing as hell!

Spider-Man PS4 Discussion
Following on from a certain “spoiler-filled rant” from Henry in one of our regular feed episodes, we’re talking the PS4 Spider-Man game on our Patreon, which shows us just how cool it is to be the wallcrawler.
From the wide array of costumes, to the spoilers Henry was itching to bring to you without bleeps, we’re talking about the fun things about this game, the pros and cons, and what we can expect/hope for in the sequels to this game (one of which has already been confirmed).

The Vulture’s Comic Origins
In our latest episode of the podcast, we spoke about The Vulture in Spider-Man: The Animated Series, as well as discussing the comic book counterpart. Below is a rundown of the highlights of The Vulture’s criminal career…
Adrian Toomes aka The Vulture first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #2 in 1963, an issue written by Stan Lee and with art by Steve Ditko (it’s the first part – the second involves The Tinkerer).
S2E13 – Shriek of the Vulture | Undercover Boomer
This week we’re covering season 2, episode 13 of Spider-Man: The Animated Series – ‘Shriek of the Vulture’.
The Vulture is in town, ready to throw away a life of bathrobe zoom calls in favour of taking to the skies as New York’s latest green spandex foe. He’s also using the tablet of time to turn children into instant boomers and continues the tradition of kidnapping the Osborn family.
We also dive into the comic origins of Adrian Toomes, from his humble origins to ageist bullying, cannibalism, and robot love curing cancer. It’s a wild ride.
