Peter Parker flies to the Antarctic to find a downed satellite…so of course he ends up in a jungle with a volcano! Chris from Play Comics joins us for a “greatest hits” of ‘67 Spidey tropes, including freaky monsters and flying serpents, green-skinned natives that might be racially insensitive, and another girl of the week (though she flies a plane this time!) We discuss the return of J. Jonah Jameson, exactly what and where the Arctic and Antarctic is, and the real story behind Daddy Greenwolf.

The Superior Spider-Man arc comes to an end with a surprisingly intimate tearjerker, as Otto learns tough lessons about relationships, selflessness, and heroism…all thanks to a gloopy hostless Venom symbiote who loves to lick! We talk about the use of Flash Thompson and Anna Maria Marconi, how this arc weaved so many unexpected threads together, and the continued weird lack of Gwen and Anya.

We’re watching Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017): Season 2, Episode 19: “Superior”.

Like the title suggests, this one introduces Marvel characters Cloak & Dagger (voiced by their concurrent live action actors!) But the big surprise? The introduction of Anna Maria Marconi, who shakes up the Superior Spider-Man story and even brings early conversations about super genius schools vs. underfunded public schools back into the fray. We get into Peter in a robot body, the startling lack of the Spider-Women, Miles finally getting into the action but still being underused, and more!

We’re watching Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017): Season 2, Episode 18: “Cloak and Dagger”.

Sure, a few Avengers are suspicious of Superior Spider-Man and get roped into an action-packed plan to stop M.O.D.O.K. But the real meat here is cyber Peter Parker venturing through Otto Octavius’s memories of childhood abuse. It’s very upsetting! We talk about how this show handles darker and realistic subject matter, why these Avengers land with a thud, and… why aren’t Miles and Kamala hanging out?!

Spider-Man fights…a colonizer?! Tyler from ⁠Fear Coded⁠ joins us for this international adventure where Peter Parker gets stranded in a secret city of gold warbirds, active volcanoes, and giant bugs. While it doesn’t get everything right (the Aztec empire was nowhere near the Andes and you can’t go UP whirlpools) it does correctly make a conquistador the unambiguous bad guy!

We’re watching Spider-Man (1967): Season 2, Episode 12: “Cloud City of Gold”.

The Superior Spider-Man arc continues as Otto does a terrible job imitating Peter Parker, a violent job of handling villains like Sandgirl, but a great job at making Miles suspicious and quitting Horizon. Meanwhile, the real Peter’s digital consciousness tries to save himself from deletion, and we talk about the many missed opportunities of this virtual world. Also… Big Wheel mentioned?!

Peter Parker is back! Or, well… his body is, at least. We’re finally digging into 2017’s adaptation of The Superior Spider-Man as Otto Octavius gets used to his new superpowered body, unmasks himself to learn the identity of his nemesis Spider-Man, and reckons with the reality that Peter Parker’s memories, experiences, and emotions are now his as well. Also, prepare for a hefty tangent discussing how various versions of Otto Octavius smell! It’s important!

We’re watching Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017): Season 2, Episode 15: “My Own Worst Enemy”.

The title isn’t lying – Peter Parker/Spider-Man does not appear in this episode for even a second, and our other Spider-Folks finally take center stage! We return to the 2017 cartoon after way too long as Gwen Stacy seeks to regain her powers and become Ghost-Spider proper, while Miles Morales tries to mentor Anya Corazón on friendly neighborhood spidering. All that, plus a silly lil Tinkerer and a big kaiju Scorpion!

We’re watching Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017): Season 2, Episode 14: “The Day Without Spider-Man”.
