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, while Henry was a late bloomer catching up this year. Together, we are too disorganised to regularly...

"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 gives us a little backstory for Vanessa Brooks before diving into Debra Whitman's comic counterpart: a...

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 don't like it! We have plenty of reasons to be sceptical, so maybe skip this one if you don't wan...

“And then Spider-Man took Scorpion to the diaper factory” Season 4 Episode 5 of Spider-Man: The Animated Series is “ Partners” After a break between episodes due to some non-neogenic life events, Henry and Jack are back to talk about maybe the most outrageous episode of the show so far. We've got some spider-creepin', cyborg humilation, and the one and only Crime Boss Baby: Silvermane. As well as investigating the science of baby geniuses and armchair therapising Alisa and Alistair, we get wayla...

This episode Jack is joined by Diego Crespo + Gene Aversa from The Waffle Press to talk about our favourite comic book adaptations and ask the big questions: what makes a good comic adaptation? How faithful should they be to the source material? Can we survive this conversation without talking about the current Spider-Man comics? (the answer is no). This week we took suggestions from the lovely weirdos in our Discord. If you want to join in to talk movies, comics, TV, or just share dumb memes wi...

Oh boy. Did you know that Kraven the Hunter had children? Did you know there are close to 100 KRAVEN CHILDREN? Did you know one of them is a kaiju from outer space?? Well, don’t worry, there’s plenty more to learn from this absurd family history. #TheYearOfKraven Note: this episode was recorded before it was announced that the Kraven the Hunter movie has been delayed until 2024.

Calypso, loving(?) partner to Kraven the Hunter, has a short but wild ride through Marvel Comics history. From her bongo-playing origins in the early 80s to her confusing and unfortunate demise in the 90s, there’s a lot to talk about with this voodoo witch – including but not limited to: a brief history on Marvel going bankrupt, the coming of the edgelord Arachknight, stepson hijinks, devil doppelgangers, and a few more reasons why Henry will never read a comic book. I wonder why half of these i...

Season 4 Episode 4 of Spider-Man: The Animated Series is “ The Return of Kraven” The third entry in the loose trilogy of Kraven appearances is here to be side-tracked by conversations about racism and Bananaman. But back to the episode, we’ve got a mysterious creature on the loose and a hunt through the jungles of New York to find it. What is this, season 1? Kraven has returned, again, somehow. No comic backstory this time and to Jack’s surprise no voodoo either. But don’t worry, that just means...

Season 4 Episode 3 of Spider-Man: The Animated Series brings us to “ The Black Cat” Henry forgot his microphone, Jack tries not to die, and the Kingpin has yet another OnlyFISK venture – this time with more cat outfits. As if this episode couldn’t get more inappropriate, Peter gets an STI from a rooftop encounter with a strange woman who may just be benefiting from the proportional sexiness of a Steve Rogers, perfects the mid-air spoon, then tries out some stripper clothes. SHIELD, bless them, a...

Season 4 Episode 2 of Spider-Man: The Animated Series is the first of a two-parter: “ 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 me...

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, ...

We’re releasing this from behind the veil of our Patreon feed to let y’all regular feed listeners in on one of our Blade retrospectives… but not one you probably know about. As the credits rolled on the cinematic garbage fire that was Blade: Trinity, we all looked around at ourselves and thought to ourselves: “Well, at least we’ll never get an on-screen Blade as bad as this.” To most of us, this thought was a relief, but to screenwriter David S. Goyer, it was merely a challenge. If this is the f...
