Walloping Websnappers - A Spider-man Podcast

The Neogenic Nightmare ends with the worst nightmare of all — being a senior citizen, apparently! But there’s plenty of the body horror we’ve come to expect as Scorpion, Lizard, and Vulture all butt heads over those pesky neogenics. Plus, Peter gets an unexpected “cure” for his disease, and we take an overall look at […]

“I’M OOOOOOOLD!” Vulture takes flight as the unexpected Big Bad of the season, complete with Tablet of Time lifeforce-sucking technology and a vendetta against hip youths. But we’re more invested in the adorable romance of Flash and Debra, and discuss (yet again) Peter’s extremely flawed approach at courting women. He’s learning! Sort of! Contact us: […]

It’s all about kidnapped ladies and de-aged babies in the conclusion of this chaotic two-parter! Peter learns the truth about his doomed romance, Kingpin learns a hard lesson in managing his work-life balance, and Silvermane learns to be careful what you wish for — at least when it comes to an ancient science-magic artifact pilfered […]

There’s a lot of “yikes” to be had in the first of this utterly chaotic two-parter! A Mesoamerican artifact is stolen (er… “discovered”) from another civilization and brought to New York, and both Kingpin and Silvermane want to get their hands on it. Somehow, this results in a ridiculous number of kidnapped women. We explore […]

Every piece of the Neogenic Nightmare arc collides in this jam-packed episode! Morbius takes his playbook from the Lizard and wants to turn everyone into a vampire, Detective Lee and Blade are a-kissin’, multiple women faint, and Spidey kind of screws up everything he touches, in full Peter Parker fashion. At least Man-Bat-Morbius looks cool! […]

Did you know Spider-Man: The Animated Series played a major role in the superhero movie boom, the MCU, and the current state of film today? It’s all thanks to this episode! Blade comes to town to take care of Morbius, and this first attempt to adapt and reinvent the vampire hunter and his gothic gadgets […]

Man-Spider’s here, and he brings some of the best animation of the show along with him! He also weirdly brings a team-up between The Punisher and Kraven the Hunter, but hey, we’re not complaining. We debate how much Peter is in control of Man-Spider, explore how elegantly this episode weaves in the ongoing threads and […]

How do you handle the dude known for killing people when he’s on a kids’ show where people don’t get killed? We tackle this fascinating, fun take on the Punisher, his boyfriend, and his “battle van”, while Spider-Man tackles living his life with four additional arms AND stopping Morbius. Spidey’s got his hands full this […]

“I vant to absorb your plasma!” Michael Morbius learns the pitfalls of being an overachiever when his sciencing turns him into a nightmare for anyone with trypophobia — a living vampire with an assortment of asymmetrical clenching holes on his hands! Meanwhile, a very aggro Spidey deals with his own body horror nightmare, and we’re […]

The Spider-Man/X-Men 90s crossover concludes in an immensely jam-packed and cartoonishly bonkers episode! We try desperately to keep up as multiple heroes hang on to multiple other heroes above a vat of bubbling green poison, Hobgoblin blows up everything everywhere, and it somehow culminates in a kaiju battle where the X-Men who aren’t Wolverine and […]

The two animated Marvel behemoths of the 90s clash in part one of the Spider-Man/X-Men crossover! Spidey’s search for a mutation cure gets him embroiled in an anti-mutant conspiracy involving Hobgoblin (ugh), a ton of Beast (yay!), and Wolverine’s desperate search for his kidnapped boyfriend (aww). We dig into interesting history from the most iconic […]

HAPPY NEW YEAR! In this special year-end commentary episode, you get to listen to us watch the two-part 90s X-Men crossover for the first time in years — DECADES, even — right here! Will Spidey get along with the Uncanny X-Men? Why do the gays love Rogue? Is Wolverine hairy enough? Is Beast literally just […]

Who’d have thought one of the most masterful and relevant episodes of Spider-Man: The Animated Series would be the one with the guy who turns into water? Join in on our surprise as we dissect season 2’s “Hydro-Man”, a gorgeously-animated achievement for Mary Jane, and harrowing tale of predatory obsession, survivor empowerment, and moving on.  […]

Get your radioactive spider-blood pumping, because we’re headed back to Spider-Man: The Animated Series! In the two-part second season premiere, Peter has his non-sticking hands full as his powers disappear right when the Sinister — er, uh, *Insidious* Six forms. We discuss the first foray into serialized arc storytelling, plus McCarthyism, Wittle Baby Rhino, and […]

Our exploration of Marvel Disk Wars: The Avengers continues in a much less convoluted pair of episodes! This Spider-Man-centric two-parter adapts the symbiote storyline in a way only this show can — by pitting black suited Spidey against Black Widow and a bunch of kids! This show is still weird as heck, but it’s also […]

Did you know Toei produced an anime Avengers series featuring Spider-Man? And not just any anime — it’s a “gotta catch ‘em all” mon-style anime in the same vein as Digimon and Pokémon! Sounds weird, right? Trust us, you don’t know the half of it. Arm your DISKs and get ready to D-Smash, because we’re […]

It’s almost Halloween, which means we have to talk about…G-G-G-GHOSTS?! Don’t worry, it’s not as scary as it sounds — we’re talking about the Marvel HQ YouTube series Marvel Rising! In the first and third specials, “Initiation” and “Chasing Ghosts”, Gwen Stacy/Ghost-Spider is framed for murder and teams up with the wonderfully diverse Secret Warriors. […]

The inaugural season of The Spectacular Spider-Man ends on a high note with two masterful episodes! We go deep into Spidey’s psyche as he faces his final confrontations with the symbiote — and Venom! — and brings all the show’s themes and arcs to an exhilarating head. Plus, we discuss the great Ed Asner, the […]

Spidey’s back in black in this puuurfect pair of Spectacular Spider-Man episodes! Black Cat brings all innuendo you’d ever need (and has us quoting half the episode) while Spidey faces a dark reflection of himself…literally and figuratively, thanks to the Chameleon and the black suit. Then, we’re in awe over the gorgeously animated fights with […]

You imperious morons, it’s time for more Spectacular Spider-Man! On one tentacle, prepare for another gush-sesh about the cutest Doc Ock of all time. On the other tentacle, we have very conflicted and complicated feelings about Green Goblin’s unmasking. And on the rest of the tentacles, we talk secret identities, polyamorous MJ, how this show […]
