Episode 69, and it’s called “Subtext”? Nice. Less nice is the awful chain of events leading Mark Allan to become Molten Man. The Spectacular Spider-Man ’s Drama 101 arc -- the final arc! -- kicks off with plenty of tragedy, weaving Liz, MJ, Green Goblin, and a creative use of flashbacks into a heartbreaking episode.

A Valentine’s Day dinner, crime boss summit, and date at the opera collide in this brilliant and beautiful episode of The Spectacular Spider-Man ! Between the masterfully animated fight sequences scored to classical opera, and the thrilling relationship drama coming to a head, this episode shows off everything this series has to offer. And isn’t it wild that two of the best characters are Liz Allan and Hammerhead ?! Website | Patreon | Discord Contact us: @WallopingWe...

Peter is stuck on a police ride along with Sally Avril, and somehow it’s not super annoying! The teens are forced to hash out their drama, and somehow Flash comes out looking the best! Cops seem like they’d be central to this arc, but somehow it’s not super awkward! The Enforcers get fancy new suits, and somehow… they’re still kind of boring. And yet, there’s still lots to love about this episode of The Spectacular Spider-Man! Website | Patreon | Discord Contact us: @...

Are you rooting for Silver Sable and the Manfredi family? What about Hammerhead and the Big Man? Kingsley the perfume mogul? Or Doc Ock’s growing army of supervillains?

Peter Parker is Spider-Man?! It’s a big scoop on The Spectacular Spider-Man after Venom outs Peter’s secret identity, and this episode does not have kind things to say about the news media… or people in general, really.

Venom continues to wreak havoc on people’s psyches in an episode of The Spectacular Spider-Man right out of a Shakspearean tragedy! We dig into all the Shakespeare references, while John Jameson becomes a Superman homage in Colonel Jupiter (!!!) -- but unfortunately, his kryptonite turns out to be spider-folks.

Master Planner is Doc Ock! Somehow, that generates one of our podcast’s biggest disagreements yet. But that’s okay, because it’s all part of a stellar conclusion of The Spectacular Spider-Man ’s engineering arc -- which includes a world domination plot, plenty of relationship drama, a big kiss, and an even bigger iconic comic homage.

A new Sinister Six attacks, and Peter has the fight of his life thanks to a burnt tongue! Actually, that doesn’t really matter -- but ice, giant Christmas trees, tires, and teens in peril all do!

Hot Kraven ventures from Mother Russia (by way of Mother Africa) into The Spectacular Spider-Man -- but do we mean human Kraven, or furry catboi Kraven?

Are you as excited as we are to get back to The Spectacular Spider-Man?! The show we love dearly is firing on all cylinders in its second season premiere, as Peter tries to navigate the aftermath of his fight with Venom and his kiss with Gwen, all while battling the totally extra Latin-spouting hammy AF faux-sorcerer himself, Mysterio! But the only thing more ice cold than the winter weather is the terrible treatment this show got behind the scenes -- and we sadly summarize all of it. But at lea...

The fabulous, ferocious feline Black Cat makes her first animated appearance, and it’s nearly purrrrfect! Spidey gets batted around in a playful cat-and-mouse game (literally, because she’s stealing a mouse) filled with all the sexual tension and kitty puns we could ask for. Plus, J. Jonah Jameson is a buff pirate, and Spidey goes on a late night talk show for some reason in another episode of 1981’s Spider-Man ! Website | Patreon | Discord Contact us: @WallopingWebPod o...

The Lizard plans to turn New York City into a jungle overrun by reptiles, and only Spider-Man can stop him -- but Spidey can’t stop sneezing! As silly as the premise is, this very straightforward episode of 1981’s Spider-Man has a lot to offer, including scenes that are very weird in 2020 -- like a Karen chastising a mask-wearing person about spreading germs, and Spidey fretting over an outrageous hospital bill.

Surprise surprise, Dr. Doom wants to take over the world -- and this time, he’s doing it with pink robots and mind control devices! This episode of 1981’s Spider-Man assumes that the United Nations has way more power than it actually does, and sparks unexpected conversations about Ronald Reagan’s presidency, crotch-money, and whether or not calling someone a chicken is problematic.

While a lot of kids in 1981 were watching Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends , a syndicated solo series was airing at the same time -- and while it’s less-remembered, it definitely has unique things to offer. In the first episode of Spider-Man (1981), Doc Ock plots to steal the world’s oil, a random bottle of acid saves the day, and Spidey literally water skis with a shark. And yet, it’s still nowhere near as silly as Amazing Friends ! Source Saturday Mornings Forever’s history of Spider-Man (19...

Spider-Man Unlimited may have been cancelled prematurely, but a lot of work was still done for the second season! We’re covering the unproduced season premiere script, a fast-paced and game-changing resolution to the original storyline filled with callbacks, character returns, and huge emotional moments for Naoko, Goblin, and X-51 (aka the best characters!)

Spider-Man Unlimited comes to an intense climax in this massive finale, and it’s as complicated, ambitious, and flawed as the rest of the series! The High Evolutionary puts his genocidal plan into motion, setting off a series of betrayals, returns, and a frustratingly apocalyptic unresolved cliffhanger. Plus, we discuss our overall thoughts on this fascinating series, and how it reflects the current state of the world and the real-life revolutions happening right now. Website | Patreon...
