Walloping Websnappers! A Spider-Man Podcast
Spidey-Fans Doug and Derek dive into every Spider-Man cartoon ever made — and all from a positive, queer, and analytical lens! From the swingin’ 60s through the rockin’ 90s to Spectacular, Ultimate, and beyond, we’ll explore everything weird and wonderful about our favorite Webhead. And over on our Patreon, we take detours into the games, movies, and (of course) comics that shape our favorite webslinger’s multimedia landscape! Is your spider-sense tingling?
#227: “Invasion of the Black Hole” (Star Wars Day Crossover with Distant Echoes)
We venture to a galaxy far, far away for this Glitterjaw Crossover with Cass and Tommy from Distant Echoes: A Star Wars Podcast! We talk about the time Spider-Woman fought a darksaber-wielding space villain from the dark side who looks suspiciously like Darth Vader. Plus, we discuss familiar-looking starships, Billy starting the Rebel Alliance, droids and Gamorrean henchman, Disney’s The Black Hole, and more
We’re watching Spider-Woman: Season 1, Episode 12: “Invasion of the Black Hole”.

The Superior Spider-Man, Part Two
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 dynamic around this time; and what it means for the next year or so of this story if Otto has, in fact, successfully purged Peter's consciousness...
The Superior Spider-Man, Part One
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? And what's the deal with this Massacre dude?

#225: “Phantom from the Depths of Time” (with Aaron Reynolds of Effin Birds)
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. Plus, we dig into Canadian TV and the career of radio personality Carl Banas!

#224: “Spider-Man Battles the Molemen” (with Animorphing Time)
Haven’t we seen this before? Tyler and Nate of Animorphing Time, The Bruce Campbell Podcast, and Hate Speech join us for the return to the subterranean world of those furry blue Molemen and mostly a recycling of footage we’ve seen before… and somehow it’s more coherent than most episodes this season! Plus, we talk little green elf goblins, parallels to real-world foreign policy, and how capitalism destroyed the Molemen.
We’re watching Spider-Man (1967): Season 2, Episode 7: “Spiderman Battles the Molemen” (yes, that’s how it’s officially spelled).

#223: “Diamond Dust” (with The Mixed Reviews)
Gavin and Louie from The Mixed Reviews (the best film podcast!) are here to help us unravel a convoluted plot from the ‘67 Spidey toon, which includes a flamboyant villain named Shakespeare making gangsters wear gorilla suits and shooting liquid latex to steal a precious diamond! Plus, Peter gets very close to another boy in the shower, and four queers try to explain how baseball works.
We’re watching Spider-Man (1967): Season 2, Episode 6: “Diamond Dust”.

#222: “Menace from the Bottom of the World” (with David Arnold)
Spider-Man ventures underground to fight a subterranean society of furry blue people in this send-up to Jules Verne! David from the Are You My Mother and Gimmicks podcasts joins us for this fantastical episode with stolen banks, an out-of-nowhere Scooby-Doo twist, and yet another resentful and mean Peter Parker.

#221: “Criminals in the Clouds” (with Merrilee O’Neil)
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! The delightful Merrilee returns for this oddly structured episode of the ‘67 Spidey toon that includes Skymaster, one of our new favorite original villains who could rival Doctor Doom as a top-tier Marvel villain and should be the next big bad of the MCU.
We’re watching Spider-Man (1967): Season 2, Episode 4: “Criminals in the Clouds”.
