  • Spider-Noir s1e4: "A Mistake I'll Never Make Again"

    Spider-Noir s1e4: "A Mistake I'll Never Make Again"
    Jun 17 2026
    We're back with another episode of Spider-Noir -- "A Mistake I'll Never Make Again" -- and we're wondering: which is the titular mistake? There are many to choose from! Spider and Cat are together, but is the timing of their relationship right? We talk about how this episode slows things down a bit to offer some character backstory, and how it offers a different kind of cliffhanger resumption. Is "hungover Cage" a new Cage for us? Also, to borrow a moment from another one of Joey's podcasts, we discuss the "most Cage moment" in the episode. Joey admires more great stuff from the kid, Mike talks about how surprised he was to see cigarettes being smoked, and we both talk about how Cat pulls a "Superman II" in making the ultimate comic book gambit. Also, Megawatt is here now... will get even more members of Spider-Man's rogues' gallery? Also, we get another (or our first?) dose of "Cage Fu." What an episode!

  • Spider-Noir s1e3: "Double Cross"

    Spider-Noir s1e3: "Double Cross"
    Jun 10 2026
    It's time to talk about "Double Cross," the third episode of Spider-Noir, which is perhaps our most plot-heavy installment yet! In discussing the "intricate web" that this show weaves, we discuss the violence and language employed on this show (in a way that works), how Spider-Noir weaves race into its narrative in an intentional way, and how it smartly (and sparingly) returns to the things the show does well. Does "Double Cross" introduce Tombstone? We discuss the newest super-powered human. Joey talks about how he was emotionally affected by Sandman's storyline before making a big discovery about his favorite character on the show. We break down the big showdown and the series' second cliffhanger, and how that makes sense given the directorial duties on the show. This episode (and the next) were helmed by Nzingha Stewart, who is only Cage's second (!) female director; this discovery leads us down a Cage VOD rabbit hole and into the blur of his 2010s movies. Lastly: who got shot?!

  • Spider-Noir s1e2: "Tread Lightly"

    Spider-Noir s1e2: "Tread Lightly"
    Jun 3 2026
    We're back with another episode of Spider-Noir, "Tread Lightly," which also marks the return of the Spider after five years away from crime-fighting! After talking about our watching cadence (are you, listener, also watching weekly?) and how we generally dislike binge watching shows, we talk about the nice touches and twists on the formula, including a contemplative superhero at this show's core. We come to terms with the fact that this is an R-rated Spider-Man, praise both Nicolas Cage's comedy chops and the work Lamorne Morris is doing in the show, and discuss what powers Ben actually has. We dive into what the timing, setting, and level of technology does for this episode's action sequence. Joey digs a bit deeper into the director of these first two episodes, Harry Bradbeer, while Mike talks about an interview he watched about Black & White vs. Color versions. We discuss what we would like to see for this show, going forward, and we grapple with the reality that this is a Spider-Man who threatens to kill his enemies. What are the implications of that?
