We’re joined by Craig Byrne of KryptonSite and KSiteTV to chat about the second episode of Spider-Man ‘67! Classic villains Electro and The Lizard (or…Lizard Man?) make their animated debut in ways that are sometimes strikingly comic accurate, and other times bafflingly not at all.   Find Craig onlineKSiteTV: https://www.ksitetv.com/Twitter: @KSiteTV […]

We’re celebrating Episode #100 by going back to the beginning — the very first episode of the very first Spider-Man cartoon! We dive into the astounding talent that worked on the 1967 Spider-Man and its iconic theme song, dig up archived materials from Stan Lee himself, and learn all about […]

Marvel Future Avengers continues as Spidey and the remaining Avengers try to untangle a very obvious political murder plot and take down Norman Osborn, who — surprise! — turns out to be the Green Goblin. Meanwhile, Hulk and Makoto fight a random forest fire, while Wasp just kinda chills.   Official […]

The first season of Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends ends with an infamous episode that only aired once because of its Nazi imagery, but it’s the most fascinating installment yet! We dig into how it frankly addresses Nazi ideology and WWII, how a Saturday morning cartoon can present uncomfortable real-world […]

Kingpin’s got two new superpowered lackeys working for him — Iceman and Captain America! It’s a mini-Civil War when Spider-Man and Firestar clash with Iceman to convince him that he’s working for the bad guys, especially when the plan involves stealing a gun that can literally do anything (except have […]

Oh boy, this one’s a doozy. It would be enough for this Dungeons & Dragons-themed episode of Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends to feature dimension-hopping wizards, dragons, and awkward pseudo-feminist commentary. But the wildly different animation also creates a schism in the podcast that brings out loopiness never-before-seen on the […]

Sincere heart-to-hearts between superhero buds? Aunt May and Ms. Lion arguably saving the day? A warden and sheriff convention (?) in a prison (??) that makes cops look like complete, useless buffoons? This episode of Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends has it all, as the Spider-Friends try to foil Magneto’s […]

There’s a new Venom in town, and Spidey’s gotta figure out his identity! This surprisingly football-themed episode of Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017) sets up a fun mystery with a solid roster of suspects (Tony Stark? Max Modell? Flash Thompson?) but the details and payoff aren’t exactly a touchdown. At least this […]
