Welcome true believers! This is a podcast about Spider-Man: The Animated Series, in which cynical two jerks (Henry & Jack) go episode-by-episode through the goofy, charming, and often insane cartoon we grew up watching – and dive into the movies and comics along the way.

Spider-Noir S1 review and Brand New Day conspiracies... Nicolas Cage brings Spider-Man Noir to live action, and we're still a little bewildered that this is the timeline we live in. There's some pros to praise, cons to criticise, and a welcome excuse to discuss one of cinema's strangest, boldest, and unique actors. We also talk about the roles Cage turned down, including... the Green Goblin? And…
Superheroes are done. But first, some TV to talk about: THE BOYS are back in town! DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN S2 gives us faith in a higher power! INVINCIBLE S4 continues to traumatise! PUNISHER: ONE LAST KILL sees Frank not follow through on his subtitle, and... why not Dolph Lundgren's THE PUNISHER (1989) while we're at it? We blitz through some reviews of the above in a meandering conversation (what…
"You can go to the sewers AFTER you go to the hospital" Season 4 Episode 9 of Spider-Man: The Animated Series is " The Haunting of Mary Jane Watson" trigger warning for this episode: suicide references [plot relevant!] Join Henry and Jack to the haunted caverns beneath Mary Jane's ill-advised new movie production in the 50th episode of TAS! Fresh off of inter-dimensional trauma, MJ is playing a…
"This is the Kraven juice, it'll make you into Kraven" "We prayed for the Dark Universe to die but the monkey's paw curled and we got this instead" It's finally come... The Year of Kraven has lasted longer than 365 days and featured very little Kraven, but now we have come together to review his cinematic debut. Is it terrible? You bet. But HOW is it terrible? That's the real question. We are…
Oh so you thought we were done with weird lore bs corner, huh? Done with obscure animal-themed villains? Not a chance. "This is much closer to Leprechaun In The Hood than I thought it was gonna be" This week Jack introduces Henry to creations that are rumoured to appear in the next Spider-Verse movie. One is the dinosaur man known as Stegron, a one-track scientific mind who is a sucker for a nap.…
"So undercooked I think I got salmonella from watching" Season 4 Episode 8 of Spider-Man: The Animated Series is " The Return of the Green Goblin" An iconic villain returns. Yes, that's right. Aunt Anna is back and she's enlisting help from gun-totting strangers she meets in cemeteries to take down Peter Parker once and for all. Also, the Green Goblin is here. Comic Origins: Jack gives an overview…
X-Men '97 continued the story from X-Men: The Animated Series, which is like the slightly cooler older sibling of our primary focus on this podcast. So of course we were going to talk about it when they brought it back to life. It wasn't really gone, just having an intergalactic romance with space royalty elsewhere. We, however, are a little late to the homecoming. Jack watched it as it came out,…
"It's a 500 Days of Blade situation" Season 4 Episode 7 of Spider-Man: The Animated Series is " The Vampire Queen" Part two of our vampire caper means that's (hopefully) a season wrap on Morbius. But before he attempts to make it big in a cancelled pilot spin-off, he's teaming up with the gang to take down a new hypnotic vampire on the scene: Blade's mum! Some comic book origins this week: Jack…
Extra cut convo from our recent episode for being too darn long a tangent. Finally... we can get Victor Von Doom, the romani man who used science and sorcery to become Marvel's greatest villain put to page, can be done right. OR we could cast Robert Downey Jr, because that is the safest ($80 million) bet. The big news from Marvel out of SDCC this year was that RDJ has been cast as ol' Doom. Well,…
"We regret to inform that you it is indeed Morbin' time once again" Season 4 Episode 6 of Spider-Man: The Animated Series is " The Awakening" Oh, it's good to be back! We are now back on our BS in more ways than one, this time recording from different continents for the noble goal of talking about *reads notes* Morbius!? What the heck? Let's go on hiatus again! Episode notes & gorms A podcast for…
