#76: "The Japanese Spider-Man Special"
Episode description
Say goodbye to 2020 with the Emissary from Hell! We’re joined by Eric Berry and Zach LaVoy of Ranger Command Power Hour for the first two episodes of Toei’s live-action Spider-Man, also known as Japanese Spider-Man. Together, we dive into the creation and legacy of this one-of-a-kind Marvel/tokusatsu crossover full of alien monsters and giant transforming robots, including how it’s influenced Japanese and American pop culture since, and why Takuya Yamashiro is a lot closer to Peter Parker than we might think!
