Spidey Goes West? Not exactly, but how about a rodeo at Madison Square Garden with an evil clown and robot bull named Diablo, a connoisseur of cowboy collectibles named Wild Willie Wilson, and a masked bandit riding a rocket-powered steed? The pieces of this mystery may not fall quite into satisfying place, but we sure have a great time trying to put it all together.

For the third time, Doctor Doom tries to take over the world via the United Nations. This time, his hodge-podge plan includes: A mysterious god-like regular guy named Goron who shoots eye beams that do anything and everything, giant fruits and vegetables, NASA, a robot duplicate that appears for one scene, penis mushrooms, an undercover cop, and nuclear missiles. You decide if it makes any sense! (It doesn’t). We’re watching Spider-Man (1981): Season 1, Episode 12: “The A-B-C’s of D-O-O-M”. Webs...

We were not looking forward to returning to the 1981 cartoon…so color us surprised when we watched this fun, wacky episode with a post-modern sensibility and self-aware humor! Spidey goes on a stunt show with a silly villain named Stuntman who looks and acts like a hardcore edgelord 90s cyborg, and it only gets funnier from there.

Our odyssey with Otto Octavius possessing the pilfered body of Peter Parker progresses! And the Avengers are beginning to notice... or are they? In this unlocked Patreon episode, we discuss the difference between Otto's "handling" of Massacre and his response to Screwball & Jester; how things might've gone differently if Tony, Hank, Reed, or literally any scientist superhero were present for the Avengers' interrogation of Spidey; why we understand folks' frustration over the Carlie-MJ dynami...

Remember that time Doc Ock switched bodies with Peter Parker and it lasted for, like, two whole years? Over on Patreon, we're currently going through all of The Superior Spider-Man comics for the very first time, and now we're releasing part one of our conversation on the main feed! How does this compare to the 2017 Marvel's Spider-Man animated adaptation? How does Otto trick Spider-Man into a body swap? Is the Mary Jane stuff as weird and creepy as it sounds?

Oh, you thought this show was weird before? Aaron Reynolds, creator of the fucking iconic Effin Birds , joins us when Spidey hops into a spaceship and heads into the completely unrelated sci-fi cartoon Rocket Robin Hood ! And despite this episode only existing for cost-cutting measures, we’re blessed with laser-eyed ants, wacky giant animals, and a rad villain in Doctor Manta.

Peter Parker tries to join the school football team and woo his latest love interest, but the teen drama is rudely interrupted when an airship-themed villain kidnaps the star player!

We’re going back to the beginning in more ways than one, as the second season of the original 1967 Spider-Man cartoon reboots itself!

Did you know we almost got a mini- Spectacular Spider-Man reunion in 2012?

All of this season’s major threads come to head (literally) when the Doc Ock-inhabited Living Brain attempts to switch bodies with Spider-Man – all alongside a fast-paced battle through a supervillain prison, a proper Spider-Men/Spider-Girl team-up, and an appropriately bleak start to this show’s Superior Spider-Man adaptation.
