It’s Spiders all the way down, baby! In part one of our two-part AMA, 100% of this week’s questions are all about Spider-Man – and we’re talking X-Men ‘97-style Spidey continuations, nostalgic Spidey games, spidey gadgets, eating Spidey’s webbing, favorite Spidey music, sounds, and suits, and much more! Plus, some exciting changes to our podcast going forward.

It’s the SERIES FINALE of the iconic 90s Spider-Man cartoon! Get out your tissues, because Spidey ventures to a parallel universe filled with cameos and references – including his own giant robot and a girlfriend named Gwen Stacy – for a final conflict with Spider-Carnage that results in a shockingly emotional climax. We talk about why the ending isn’t the “cliffhanger” it’s made out to be, and what makes this such a stellar finale and one of the best episodes of the show. We’re watching Spider-Man: The Animated Series: Season 5, Episode 13: ”Spider Wars, Chapter II: Farewell, Spider-Man”.

We’re at the FINAL TWO-PARTER of the iconic 90s Spider-Man cartoon, where our Spidey Prime leads a team of alternate universe Spider-Men to fight a reality-annihilating Spider-Carnage! We talk about how this episode condenses the entire comics clone saga into a few minutes of flashbacks (which somehow works?), whether this cosmic-scale finale feels earned, how the alt-Spideys reflect our Peter Parker, and of course we discuss the proverbial question… did John Semper “create the Spider-Verse”? We’re watching Spider-Man: The Animated Series: Season 5, Episode 12: ”Spider Wars, Chapter I: I Really, Really Hate Clones”.

The Secret Wars conclude with Doctor Doom and The Thing front and center! But does it make sense for the antepenultimate episode of this long-running Spider-Man series to mostly be a Fantastic Four story? We talk about the quick wrap-up and Beyonder’s role as Cosmic Asshole, kinky nightmare demons, the worldbuilding we wish this arc had time to do, and whether Spider-Man proved himself to be even a remotely good leader (spoiler: he didn’t). We’re watching Spider-Man: The Animated Series: Season 5, Episode 11: Secret Wars, Chapter III: Doom”.

Black Cat has joined the Secret Wars! But what begins as a clever subversion and interrogation of her role as Spidey’s crutch and comfort blanket quickly disintegrates into an episode where Cat has to be rescued a record number of times, the heroes mostly just walk across nondescript canyons that feel pulled out of the 60s show, Spidey does not actually succeed as a leader, and the weird pattern of only allowing one woman superhero on screen at a time continues. We’re watching Spider-Man: The Animated Series: Season 5, Episode 10: Secret Wars, Chapter II: The Gauntlet of the Red Skull”.

Madame Web and The Beyonder have whisked Spider-Man to another planet for a cosmic battle between good and evil! This adaptation of the famous Marvel comic crossover features Spidey leading a team of the Fantastic Four, Storm, Captain America, Iron Man, and The Lizard, but does it provide anything beyond the novelty of seeing some 90s heroes fighting giant sandworms? We talk the behind-the-scenes reasoning for this particular roster of heroes, how this fits into the final season of the show, and more.

It's Derek's birthday, and the people wanted it: we're talking about the first appearance of the iconic Hex Girls in 1999's Scooby-Doo! and the Witch's Ghost. Why did it feel so familiar to Doug, how does it stack up to its immediate predecessor, and is that third act twist good, bad, or a bit of both? Plus we get into how the movie depicts Wicca, Tim Curry being an absolute freak, Jack the big boy restauranteur, and this movie's connection to the gay murder mystery web series Where the Bears Are?!

This is the bleakest episode of the show, and we have strong feelings about it. From its “you married a clone” conception, to the severe and harmful mishandling of domestic abuse and stalking that the original episode did so well, to its dubious pace and editing, to its cruelty to both Peter and Mary Jane… this one just feels really bad, man. It’s well-remembered for a reason, but at what point does a Saturday morning superhero cartoon for children cross over into pure misery? We’re watching Spider-Man: The Animated Series: Season 5, Episode 8: “The Return of Hydro-Man, Part Two”.

We knew we’d have mixed feelings about a follow-up to our favorite standalone episode (season 2’s “Hydro-Man” is still a masterpiece, y’all). But the beginning of this traumatic two-parter still delivers plenty of decent moments, even while it treads water – with Mary Jane using her wits to fight back against her abuser, Black Cat’s return (kind of), Peter tearing down both Anna Watson and Hydro-Man himself, and a big homage to The Terminator.

A god-like Electro is the Big Bad of The Six Forgotten Warriors saga, and shockingly, it all lands with a thud. We lose our minds a little bit at all the baffling decisions of this episode, including a wet fart of a swan song for Kingpin, the infuriatingly unnecessary exit of Silver Sable, Mary Jane throwing herself into danger just to give Spider-Man man-pain, a weird Captain America sacrifice, and a downright nonsensical ending. It’s one of the show’s worst!  We’re watching Spider-Man: The Animated Series: Season 5, Episode 6: “Six Forgotten Warriors, Chapter V: The Price of Heroism”.

Look out for that bat signal and “make the world safe for democracy”! In this very messy installment of the Six Forgotten Warriors saga, Spidey teams up with aged WWII heroes to stop the Insidious Six and learns to appreciate history as Captain America and Red Skull make their return. We talk about John Semper’s reinvention of the historic Black Marvel as a Black man in a way that echoes the Watchmen TV series, a reunion of actors of The Terminator, and how Kingpin is the hottest he’s ever been.

Finally, the titular Six Forgotten Warriors enter the fray! In this 1940s throwback, we get backstory on a WWII-era team of superheroes pulled out of Timely comics who fight alongside Captain America, complete with collectible statues that Kingpin, the Insidious Six, and Spidey are all after. We discuss how the preceding spy story makes yet another Parker Family Secret redundant, how time constraints limited this story, and realize that we simply cannot do math.

It's Doug's birthday, and for a special surprise, he FINALLY watched that beloved 1998 Scooby-Doo movie for the very first time! Does it live up to how much all of our guests have been hyping it for so long? We talk about why Zombie Island was so important to the Scooby-Doo franchise, how it strikes the perfect balance between cartoon comedy and genuine horror, and how its gorgeous animation and monster designs basically make it Scooby anime. Plus, lesbian representation in cat monsters and Daphne/Velma, Mystery Inc. saying ACAB, and Jacques the Bear Cat Man creating Derek's entire taste in men.

Did you ever expect we’d be talking the KGB and Chernobyl on this Spider-Man podcast? Spidey’s adventures in Russia continue as he intersects with the sexily-voiced Silver Sable and a double-masked Red Skull, and we try to untangle this convoluted Parker parent triple agent spy story that, shockingly, does make sense when you think about it … whether we like it or not!

Spider-Man goes to…Moscow? The beginning of season 5’s longest arc is a weird swerve, where Aunt May is central to a global conspiracy involving Peter Parker’s parents as double agent spies for Russia, a Nazi doomsday weapon, S.H.I.E.L.D. cover-ups and Silver Sable kidnappings, Robbie Robertson acting sus, and Kingpin reuniting the Insidious Six.

The final season of the iconic Spider-Man: The Animated Series begins with a chaotically fun celebration! Peter and Mary Jane’s wedding brings out a slew of recurring characters and villains for one last hurrah, from Harry Osborn threatening MJ with a Goblin bomb to marry him to Black Cat teaming up with Kingpin to fight Scorpion and an army of robots. We talk the hilarious Jameson/Fisk wedding war, spunky Aunt May in a sequence Spider-Man 2 may have copied, and Mary Jane’s… interesting wedding dress choice.

Fox Kids expert Jessalyn Matthews jumps into a dimensional vortex with us to revisit Spider-Man: The Animated Series season 3! We talk about the portals, Goblins, bridges, and fatherly sins of the stellar finale – including movie-influenced perceptions of The Spot and Madame Web, creative workarounds for violence and death, Mark Hamill’s Hobgoblin, and of course, that time Green Goblin made Mary Jane fall off a bridge. Plus, plenty of Iron Man and Daredevil crossover talk!

It's the season of spooky! Merrilee O'Neil morbs out with us to revisit the monsters and body horror of the dark, influential second season of Spider-Man: The Animated Series. That includes the iconic Man-Spider and his fight with Kraven and Punisher, the first animated appearance of Blade that forever changed the character – and arguably led to the creation of the MCU – and of course, ol’ butthole hands himself. We talk about our feelings post-Morbius movie, the unique way this season was serialized, and the good and bad ways Terri Lee and other women are written. We’re watching Spider-Man: The Animated Series: Season 2, episodes 8-10: “Neogenic Nightmare Chapter VIII: Duel of the Hunters” “Neogenic Nightmare Chapter IX: Blade, the Vampire Hunter” “Neogenic Nightmare Chapter X: The Immortal Vampire” Find Merrilee: Twitter: @papillonvoleur Bluesky: @papillonvoleur Episode Sources Website⁠ | ⁠Patreon⁠ | ⁠Discord⁠ Part of The Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective Contact us: @WallopingWebPod on ⁠Twitter⁠,
