Walloping Websnappers - A Spider-man Podcast

Okay, so this episode is about Jessica Drew infiltrating the World Athletic Games (definitely not the Olympics) to uncover an android mind control plot. But the real meat here is that it has quite possibly the most incredible ending to any episode we’ve ever covered on this podcast, and we’re losing our minds. Please experience it for yourself. We’re watching Spider-Woman: Season 1, Episode 8: “Games of Doom”.

Spider-Woman faces a giant jungle spider, but it’s all a ruse (kind of) by a movie director to create an overly elaborate snuff film! Luckily, Spider-Man swings by to lend a hand … and decides to be weirdly sexist about it, too. Yikes! We’re watching Spider-Woman: Season 1, Episode 7: “The Kongo Spider”.

Dinosaurs invading New York! Mind control devices! Cavemen flying jets! A secret prehistoric island hidden in the Bermuda Triangle! By the sound of it, you’d think this is the most exciting episode of any cartoon… but wow, you’d be very wrong. Enjoy? We’re watching Spider-Woman: Season 1, Episode 6: “The Lost Continent”.

We’ve returned to 1979’s Spider-Woman cartoon, and are reminded how absolutely wild her series is with an episode full of huge, bizarre, and out-of-this-world twists. The set-up? Kingpin learns Spider-Woman’s secret identity. The payoff? You just have to see it to believe it. We’re watching Spider-Woman: Season 1, Episode 5: “The Kingpin Strikes Again”.

Happy new year … and full spoilers ahead! We're talking about the multiversal crossover finale of the MCU Spider-Man trilogy -- a wild celebration of the last 20 years of Spidey movies full of fan service and nostalgia, but also heart and consequences. We break down our initial apprehensions about the concept (and whether or not they pulled it off) and dig into all the things we love, are conflicted about, and that may or may not have emotionally destroyed us.  Website⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠ Contact us: @WallopingWebPod on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠wallopingwebsnapperspodcast@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ Theme song features: ⁠⁠⁠“Resonance (Cyan & Ladybot Remix)” by HOME⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠License (CC BY 3.0)⁠

The third season finale of Spider-Man: The Animated Series is one of the most beloved episodes of the show, combining all the best classic Green Goblin stories into one beautiful, tragic, exhilarating banger… even if it means we have to dig into that troublesome Gwen Stacy/fridging problem again, and how this episode does (and doesn’t) play into it. We also discuss our overall thoughts on this surprisingly strong season of television! We’re watching Spider-Man: The Animated Series: Season 3, Episode 14: “Turning Point”.

Whoa, it’s a story centered on Hobgoblin that we actually like! Who’da thought?! In fact, this episode that pits Hobgoblin against Green Goblin is straight-up GOOD, continuing threads from both the villain end and the soap opera end, and uses them for great drama and a stellar reveal. We’re watching Spider-Man: The Animated Series: Season 3, Episode 13: “Gobin War!”  ⁠Website⁠ | ⁠Patreon⁠ | ⁠Discord⁠ Contact us: @WallopingWebPod on ⁠Twitter⁠, ⁠Facebook⁠, and ⁠Instagram⁠ Email: ⁠wallopingwebsnapperspodcast@gmail.com⁠ Theme song features: ⁠“Resonance (Cyan & Ladybot Remix)” by HOME⁠ | ⁠License (CC BY 3.0)⁠

The Spot is a silly villain with a downright mindbending superpower, and his spotlight is an appropriately funny and lighthearted breather episode that hits the spot! We chat about his cool powerset, Dr. Sylvia Lopez’s wild hair, the unnecessary downer ending, and why “worst episode ever” fan consensus isn’t really a thing anymore.

The symbiote two-parter concludes with a very clever way to work around Carnage being a serial killer and cannibal without him technically killing and cannibalizing! Plus, we discuss Madame Web’s story structure-breaking powers, Iron Man’s dubious role in all this, and the horrible lack of ethics from Dr. Kafka, aka Marvel’s Worst Psychiatrist.

Our big boy is back, and he brought… a whole lot of characters! We explore this crossover with War Machine (?!), the return of Baron Mordo and Dormammu, interdimensional portals and magic, an icky doctor/patient love story, the only animated depiction of Cletus Kasady’s origin as Carnage, and… oh, right, the return of Venom.

Robbie Robertson finally gets the spotlight in an episode that also features the origin of Tombstone, aka the man who gave us that epic line: “I don’t breathe.” We dig into the episode’s commentary on generational trauma and institutional racism, its rocky use of Madame Web, and Carlton from Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

Look, we didn’t exactly LOVE the Spider Slayers from way back in the first season of Spider-Man: The Animated Series. And we never really cared THAT much about Alistair Smythe. But despite some problems, this Smythe-centric Spider Slayer sequel has some things to enjoy -- like (in theory) the body horror, and a romance subplot where Peter doesn’t act like a total creeper for once. We’re watching Spider-Man: The Animated Series: Season 3, Episode 8: “The Ultimate Slayer”.  Website⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠ Contact us: @WallopingWebPod on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠wallopingwebsnapperspodcast@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ Theme song features: ⁠⁠⁠“Resonance (Cyan & Ladybot Remix)” by HOME⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠License (CC BY 3.0)⁠

This episode of Spider-Man: The Animated Series, which introduces Big Wheel and Rocket Racer, has been often regarded as one of the show's worst. But it's also one of very few instances of a cartoon then (and even now) directly confronting institutional racism from a Black perspective, and in this case deals with those experiences in a surprisingly pointed and even elegant way. "Rocket Racer" is good, actually! We’re watching Spider-Man: The Animated Series: Season 3, Episode 5: “Rocket Racer”.  Website⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠ Contact us: @WallopingWebPod on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠wallopingwebsnapperspodcast@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ Theme song features: ⁠⁠⁠“Resonance (Cyan & Ladybot Remix)” by HOME⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠License (CC BY 3.0)⁠

Green Goblin makes his long-awaited Spider-Man: The Animated Series debut in an episode that doesn’t disappoint! We dive into why it took so long for Gobby to show up in this series, how the Norman/Harry identity mystery stacks up, and why Anastasia Hardy is one of most low-key fascinating creations on the show.

You mess with Spidey, you mess with New York! You mess with one of us, you mess with all of us! In the conclusion of this Spider-Man: The Animated Series two-parter, Doc Ock has wiped Spidey’s memory, and it’s up to eight-year-old badass Taina, her cabbie friend Mousie, and their cavalry of New Yorkers to save him! It’s all fun, until the tears come right at the end.

The Sins of the Fathers arc of Spider-Man: The Animated Series begins proper as the iconic and legendary Madame Web enters the fold! We chat about her spot-on design and Joan Lee’s stellar performance in this strong episode, which also features extended Spidey origin flashbacks (complete with multiple outfits!), a great Doc Ock-centered conflict, and mystery over who, exactly, Taina’s voice actor is.

We’re starting the third season of Spider-Man: The Animated Series, and the beginning of the Sins of the Fathers arc feels strangely relevant to the upcoming Spider-Man: No Way Home! Spidey deals with magic for the first time as he teams up with Doctor Strange to save Mary Jane from a cult, laser eye beams, an extradimensional god-like being, and daddy issues.  Sources Mark Hoffmeier Interview Website⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠ Contact us: @WallopingWebPod on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠wallopingwebsnapperspodcast@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ Theme song features: ⁠⁠⁠“Resonance (Cyan & Ladybot Remix)” by HOME⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠License (CC BY 3.0)⁠
