#11: Into the Spider-Verse, Part I

WHAT’S UP, DANGER?! We’re taking our most in-depth dive yet with the award-winning film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse ! In the first installment of our two-part episode, we’re looking at the making of this technical marvel -- detailing some interesting trivia from its production history and what makes this such a huge achievement in animation, worldbuilding, and storytelling. Plus, we begin to unravel the most important question of all: Is this an actual perfect movie? Website ⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠ Pa...

#10: "Sunfire & Swarm"

SWAAAARM. Romance, samurai robots, bees, and uncomfortable stereotypes abound in this Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends two-fer! First, we dig into the pros and cons of how the show handles its Japanese representation in “Sunfire”. Then, you won’t bee-lieve the buzz when we drone on about “Swarm”. SWARM IS MY MASTER, I WORK FOR SWARM.

#9: "The Fantastic Crimes of Kraven and Doctor Doom"

We’re absolutely losing our minds in the most bonkers back-to-back episodes of Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends ! First, Kraven brings dinosaurs (?!?!) to New York along with his usual Kraven-y sexual tension in “The Crime of All Centuries”. But if you thought that was a narrative swerve, strap in for the infamous “The Fantastic Crimes of Mr. Frump” -- a kafkaesque, Lovecraftian nightmare of an episode that will haunt us all for years to come!

#8: "Triumph of the Green Goblin"

Spider-Friends, Go For It! We’re learning all about the making of the 80s classic Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, a show which apparently owes its existence to second-wave feminism, Super Friends, and one very cute dog with a debatable name. Team up with Firestar and Iceman to face comic book costume confusion and Green Goblin’s VERY fancy new hat in the series premiere!

#7: "Day of the Chameleon"

It’s Peter Parker vs. Spider-Man in the Spider-Man: The Animated Series first season finale! The Daily Bugle gets wrapped up in Chameleon’s spy thriller scheme -- and we get our first look at S.H.I.E.L.D. in the 90s, as Nick Fury criticizes shoddy journalism, uses the bulkiest and oddest technology ever made, and commands loads of bumbling, boneheaded agents who are unquestionably bad at their jobs. Plus, we give our overall thoughts on this seminal show’s inaugural season. John Semper on writin...

#6: "The Hobgoblin"

Peter gets a new pad, Hobgoblin’s plans are very bad, Norman is a crappy dad, and Aunt May is very sad. Arm your pumpkin bombs for the most double-crossy episodes of Spider-Man: The Animated Series -- “The Hobgoblin” two-parter! We discuss Mark Hamill’s turn as Hobgobby, and uncover how this dude sneaked in two seasons before the Green Goblin. But can the fun corporate maneuvering of Fisk and Osborn overcome the messy themes of these less-than-beloved episodes? This time, it’s personal! John Sem...

#5: "The Alien Costume"

The check’s in the mail, baby! The most famous Spider-Man love story commences with the influential Venom saga -- and Eddie Brock ain’t the only one gettin’ sweaty about all this. Spidey’s new duds grow him much more than a backbone, as he chases Shocker to the ends of the Earth, forgoes being a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, and finally faces off with his biggest fan in Spider-Man: The Animated Series episodes 8-10! They’re very happy together. Stan Berkowitz on Venom: https://bit.ly/2I1UU4U...

#4: "Mysterio, Scorpion, and Kraven Walk into a Bar…"

We’ve got three back-to-back standalone villain episodes, but they’re far from “filler”! New York goes gaga over their very unheroic new hero Mysterio, J. Jonah Jameson literally creates a monster in Scorpion, and everyone is a slave to their animal instincts when Kraven comes to town. Prepare for animatronics, body horror, and jungle drums galore in Spider-Man: The Animated Series episodes 5-7!

#3: "Doctor Octopus: Armed and Dangerous"

It’s time for everyone’s favorite science boyfrie-- er, supervillain, Doc Ock! Doug and Derek gush over one of Spider-Man’s all-time great nemeses, discussing the fantastic array of different Ock adaptations, why the character works so well, and how the 90s version of the “six-armed squid” holds up on Spider-Man: The Animated Series episode 4, “Doctor Octopus: Armed and Dangerous.” Website ⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠ Patreon ⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠ Discord ⁠⁠⁠⁠ Contact us: @WallopingWebPod on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠ , ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagra...

#2: "The Spider Slayers"

Spider-Man faces his greatest threat yet -- toy commercials! But what’s worse? Fighting deadly robot arachnids, being strapped to a bomb AND a grumpy J. Jonah Jameson, or making sense of Alistair Smythe’s weirdly-paced revenge plot? All this and more on Spider-Man: The Animated Series episodes 2 and 3: “The Spider Slayer” and “Return of the Spider Slayers.” John Semper’s thoughts on Spider Slayers and Felicia Hardy: https://bit.ly/2U8Gliq Website ⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠ Patreon ⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠ Discord ⁠⁠⁠⁠ Cont...

#1: "Night of the Lizard"

Doug and Derek hit the ground running with the first episode of the iconic 1994 series Spider-Man: The Animated Series ! We dive into the show’s complicated behind-the-scenes history, its weirdly un complicated theme song, and a particularly punchy Peter Parker. Oh, and did we mention a giant talking Lizard is prowling the sewers?
