That '90s Spider-man Show

This week we're discussing Ultimate Spider-Man vol.1 #1-13 (2000), collected in the first Ultimate Collection! We jump into Henry's first impressions of the revamp of the Spidey mythos 20 years after it launched, while Jack reminisces about how it got him into reading comic books back in the day.

The Neogenic Nightmare is finally done, so we're discussing the season as a whole! We talk about our favourite (and least favourite) episodes, before jumping into the real discussion: who's the biggest loser this season? And why does Henry hate old people? It's hard to narrow it down, because this season is absolutely full to the brim with losers - but we've got our choices for winners and losers, even if Henry manages to find a way to make the entire process confusing as hell!

Season 2 Episode 14: The Final Nightmare // Recap - 3:23 Review - 31:02 Surprise - 37:44 The Neogenic Nightmare is coming to a close, but we've got one more monster mash to go before we call it a day. This episode has everything: Scorpion scumbaggery, newsvendor opinions, trench coats, puns, cold betrayals, more kidnappings... ...and a very special surprise at the end of the podcast!

Season 2 Episode 13: Shriek of the Vulture // Episode Recap - 2:17 Review - 28:57 Comic Origins - 35:41 The Vulture is in town, ready to throw away a life of bathrobe zoom calls in favour of taking to the skies as New York's latest green spandex foe. He's also using the tablet of time to turn children into instant boomers and continues the tradition of kidnapping the Osborn family. We also dive into the comic origins of Adrian Toomes, from his humble origins to ageist bullying, cannibalism, and robot love curing cancer. It's a wild ride.

Season 2, Episode 12: Ravages of Time // Recap - 2:58 Review - 28:43 Comic Origins - 33:50 Our Spider-Man PS1 Lets Play: https://youtu.be/CAxZUnHLjVI Silvermane wants to live until the totally-not-barren cultural landscape of the 2000s with his time pyramid and time poncho at the ready - but before then he'll have to go up against the ED-209 of this show, the Mega Slayer. Before long, we've got a cavalcade of kidnappings, Clark Kent acrobatics and a pitch for a new Ted Danson project. Despite his sleep deprivation, Jack has some comic book origins to discuss too - with the wild ride of Silvermane's tragic unbirth and Pro Evo cyborg body breaking Henry's brain.

Season 2 Episode 11: The Tablet of Time // Recap: 3:35 Review: 32:16 Comic Origins: 38:28 Spencer Smythe is rolling in his grave after his son makes a humanoid ultimate battle robot, J3 is back on the air, Hammerhead is butting into a gang war over a magical artifact and Silvermane is... old. Super old. The Kingpin shows off his glorious fat muscles and we get side-tracked talking about his diet. Meatballs aside, we've got an all-new monstar making this cavalcade of characters even more jam-packed: the jive-talking Tombstone. We then move on to a trilogy of comic origins (pray for Jack), including 1969's tablet of time story, Hammerhead's first issue and the mk.14 spider slayer.

Season 2 Episode 10: The Immortal Vampire. More like the immortal plotline, amirite? Recap: 1:59 Review: 27:29 Comic Origins: 33:14 This week we get to see Morbius finally evolve into his true Calamity Jared Form, but only after we cross off every single square on our Morbius bingo cards so many times that it catches fire. Meanwhile, Blade and Det. Lee have a meet-cute, Peter is a dumb-dumb and Whistler shares too much. After that, we discuss Untold Tales of Spider-Man #2 (1995), which saw the introduction of the little known character of Batwing. And remember gang, knowing Spider-Man does NOT make you cool.

Back in 1998, the superhero genre wasn't nearly as powerful - and then Blade came along. We look back and review Blade after revisiting (finally) as a new bonus episode. Is it iconic garbage, a camp masterpiece, or something else entirely? Some podcasts are always tryin to ice-skate uphill, huh?

Season 2 Episode 9: Blade The Vampire Hunter Recap: 2:02 Review: 32:39 Comic Origins: 37:17 Get your Morbius bingo cards ready, because we have even more naval-gazing from everyone's "favourite" artificial vampire. We also have the introduction of Blade the Blampire Blunter, delivering some Blade-sploitation for all you suckers. After that, we dive into his comic origins, starting with Tomb of Dracula and Vampire Tales, before discussing his further appearances in Adventure Into Fear, Doctor Strange, Peter Parker: Spider-Man, Nightstalkers, Blade (1994-1995), Blade (1998), Blade: Vampire Hunter (1999) and Blade (2006). There's also some discussion of crotch-first combat strategy, Dolemite and Speed 2: Cruise Control.

Season 2 Episode 8: 'Duel of the Hunters' Recap: 3:33 Review: 39:37 Comic Origins: 42:19 The Punisher has his hands full with Spider-Man after our hero transformed into a horrifying, dopey monster - something he still thinks he has the ability to sort by himself. Hey, maybe the man's just got a lot of free time after his family picnics have been cancelled. Too soon? He's joined by Kraven, fresh off the boat to bear-hug his new bestie and join in on the dogpile when Man-Spider starts creepin on New York's redheads. Along the way we end up talking about Stop the Pigeon, kite daydreams and... 9/11. Does acid spit melt steel beams? Oh, and also Morbius is floating around. After our episode discussion, we talk about the various spider transformations that Peter Parker has gone through in the comics. It's pretty wild.

"Oh god" - Henry, every few seconds this episode. A Sandman and a Hydro Man walk into a bar, and what follows is the deepest of shames from the void itself. We've got Travis Rave, a cavalcade of King Kong references, the worst Broadway musical of all time and the most confusing sentence in history. This edition of Weird Lore Bullshit Corner covers The Amazing Spider-Man #217-218, as well as a look back at the origin of Flint Marko/William Baker/Sandman.

Season 2 Episode 7: Enter The Punisher This week Frank Castle turns up to complicate things, just as the ol' webhead is grappling with four new grapplers himself. On top of things, we've still got the Magical Mr. Morbius to contend with. Then we'll see what happens when Jem & the Holograms go dark, when 3-D animation invades Aunt May's home and a surprise appearance from F.L.U.D.D. We also touch on the very first appearance of The Punisher in The Amazing Spider-Man 129!

A look back on all the best movies and TV we watched last year. 2019 was a garbage year that we're more than happy to leave behind - but there were some good things to distract us: Booksmart Little Women have their Knives Out, The Irishman is living the High Life, Beale St is Burning and maybe the real Parasite is Us. Warning: we talk Star Wars, maybe for the last time. Also covered: Midsommar, John Wick 3, The Last Black Man In SAN Francisco, Shazam, Glass, Spider-Man: Far From Home, Avengers: Endgame, Black Mirror, Watchmen, The Boys, Bojack Horseman, I Think You Should Leave, You, and... Game of Thrones. Plus some bonus chat about Jack's favourite comics he read in 2019! Lindsay Ellis’ GOT video -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hys_m3BPTS8 Jack’s Last Black Man in SF review:

Season 2 Episode 6: Morbius Episode Recap - 7:14 Comic Origins - 52:14 Morbius Trailer Discussion - 1:06:36 Spidey's having some kidney problems, Mary Jane's getting ghosted, and Michael Morbius is shooting radioactive rays at blood in a room full of vampire bats. What could go wrong? Well, it turns out that a lot could go wrong - leading to a few extra limbs, horrifying octopus palm suckers, and a whole lot of plasma missing from the bodies of ESU students. This is what happens when you leave the neogenic recombinator lying around - and this episode shows that the plot gun might also just be an infinity stone. After that, Jack reveals the veritable monster mash that Morbius originated from in our comic book segment - before we talk about that new Morbius 2020 trailer! #VetoThatLeto Comic panels and other additional notes at: https://that90sspidermanshow.home.blog/ A podcast for no one.

Season Two Episode 5: Mutant's Revenge We've got a crazy episode for you guys this week, with the X-Men crossover two-parter coming to a close with plenty of buddy cop shenanigans, trash fights, awful puns, henchman juggling and more hallways than a Netflix Marvel series. Jack talks reading The Clone Saga, Henry gets turned into the Beast, Hobgoblin records his own voice acting, Ray Winstone makes a guest appearance, and Smythe punched right in the kisser. After all that nonsense, we talk about 'Spider-Man: The Mutant Agenda' - the mini-series that inspired this episode. Intro: Razonix - Spiderman Synthwave/X-Men: The Animated Series theme Outro: X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse [SNES] OST - Beast's Theme

Season 2 Episode 4: The Mutant Agenda X-Cuse me, true believers - we've got another episode to talk about, this time the most ambitious crossover in history; the birth of a televisual universe; a racism allegory that goes off the rails; a cheese nightmare, if you will. Uncle Ben ghost stealth takedown's included. Confused? So are we. This episode brings Spidey to the X-Men's mansion, where he is chased by their superior theme tune music, then hounded by that stupid sexy beast. No, it's not Ray Winstone, it's Henry McCoy - the OG furry, professor of prejudice patience and lover of thongs. #WheresMyGoblinGlider?

Season 2 Episode 3: Hydro Man Face front, true believers! This week we're talking about Morris Bench aka Spider-Man's most compelling and fascinating villain! Just kidding - he's Hydro-Man, a D-Lister that this episode of Spider-Man: The Animated Series somehow found a way to make interesting. How do they do it, you ask? By putting the Bro in Hybro Man and talking about... male entitlement? This episode has everything: MRAs, the seduction community, Nice Guy™s, anime screams, water puns and ocean science magic. And in our comic origin segment, Jack tells Henry all about Hydro-Man's first comic appearance in The Amazing Spider-Man #212 (1980), before updating him on all the pathetic things he's been up to in the years since.

This week we're discussing the potential Sinister Six movie and how it could play out in the Marvel Cinematic Universe! Both Jack and Henry have their own ideas for what a Sinister Six movie and which villains should turn up - but only one of them made notes, and by notes we mean NOTES. So what will this all entail? Will it be about Tony Stark again? Will Jack be talking about the Man-Thing... again? If you've listened before, you know the answer to some of these questions - but there are plenty more surprises in store as we discuss our favourite evil team-up.

Season 2 Episode 1: 'The Battle of the Insidious Six' Face front, true believers! We've got one hell of an episode for you, with the conclusion to the Insidious Six's Matchstick Men con-gone-wrong. First off though - check out this bonus clip we edited out for time from this episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sZrAkpvKig Spider-Man is unmasked, Chameleon is letting off steam, Rhino's like a wrecking ball, Scorpion is still getting bullied, Shocker is naked, Silvermane is getting in the Christmas spirit, Doc Ock is exasperated... and Mysterio is a house plant. Meanwhile, Jack is still mad about Karen Page and Henry is doing Tommy Wiseau impressions... again. After we talk through another episode of Spider-Man: The Animated Series, we turn to the comics to talk about The Return of The Sinister Six - where Doc Ock goes full Walter White, Hobgoblin’s let himself go, Henry has questions, and Jack has an asthma attack trying to answer them.
