Green Goblin attacks on Halloween, with full knowledge of Spidey’s secret identity and a hilariously petty revenge plot on J. Jonah Jameson! We discuss how this episode is nearly a carbon copy of the first Amazing Friends episode, and its fascinating “clip show” style of recapping backstory from the comics that never appeared in this show.

Lions, tigers, and crocodiles, oh my! Spidey goes to the carnival, but it’s no fun and games when the Ringmaster frames him with hypnotic gas. We talk about Aunt May as a thrill-seeking rollercoaster lover, circus animals going on the attack, cages made of gold, and the worst character of all time giving one of the weirdest line flubs of all time.

The first season of Spider-Man (2017) comes to a close with an episode that proves once and for all that Harry Osborn was the real main character all along, and we dive deep into how his story accurately portrays gaslighting. We also discuss how the show has changed since its debut (and why it may have to do with a departing showrunner), the missteps with Miles and Uncle Ben, another great “If This Be My Destiny” homage, and how this finale echoes The Spectacular Spider-Man.
