Walloping Websnappers! A Spider-Man Podcast ·

2025/06/10

The Sinister Six ushers in one of the most intense and jaw-dropping episodes of The Spectacular Spider-Man, which includes a full symbiote takeover of Peter’s body and mind, a heart attack, and THAT frightening motorcycle sequence with Mary Jane and a monstrous Eddie Brock before he’s even become Venom. We talk about the incredible action from the returning villains alongside the eerieness of a silent symbiote Spidey, and how it comes together to deliver one of the show’s best.We’re watching The

It’s the black-suited Psychology arc of The Spectacular Spider-Man, and boy is that title meaningful! We get into the head of Peter Parker and his new inner voice when the alien symbiote joins with his costume, just in time for him to encounter Tricia Helfer’s ultra sexy take on Black Cat and Chameleon impersonating the old red and blue Spidey! We dig into the psychology behind Eddie Brock’s dark turn – and why his character arc is frighteningly realistic – and all the smart choices in this

Walloping Websnappers! A Spider-Man Podcast ·

2025/05/27

Spidey is shrunk down teeny tiny and has to face cats, spiders, action figures, giant pay phones, and getting stepped on by J. Jonah Jameson! We loom over one of this show’s best episodes, and get into how fun and sympathetic the villain Gadgeteer is – and how monstrous his boss (and maybe dad?) is – along with all the creative situations the increasingly dwindling Spidey is shoved into.We’re watching Spider-Man (1981): Season 1, Episode 15: “The Incredible Shrinking Spider-Man”.Website⁠ | ⁠Patreon⁠

#275: “The Uncertainty Principle”

Walloping Websnappers! A Spider-Man Podcast ·

2025/05/20

This is the one! The Green Goblin mystery might be the biggest reason we’re doing the spoiler-filled revisit of The Spectacular Spider-Man, and we are in the thick of its complex long game as the Chemistry arc ends! We walk through what was REALLY happening in this episode despite what sociopath Norman Osborn tells us, and get into its brilliant use of audience expectations, and whether it all makes sense once you’ve seen the finale. Plus…space shuttle drama!We’re watching The Spectacular

2025/05/13

OUR BOY IS HERE! We love this round verbose flamboyant Doc Ock, whether he’s meek and good in his lil bowtie or sporting a tanktop and out for blood, and even when he’s in his ugly eye-pieces and kidnapping all three of Peter Parker’s love interests. We talk the Peter/Liz romance, a great Coney Island setpiece, and more!We’re watching The Spectacular Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 8: “Reaction”.Website⁠ | ⁠Patreon⁠ | ⁠Discord⁠Part of The Glitterjaw Queer Podcast CollectiveContact us: @WallopingWebPod

Walloping Websnappers! A Spider-Man Podcast ·

2025/05/06

It’s two fancy parties and a Green Goblin to begin the Chemistry arc… and one of the most fluidly animated episodes of the whole show! At a charity gala, Green Goblin unloads his screaming pumpkin bombs and finger guns while he holds Tombstone and the Jamesons hostage. And at the school dance, we get our proper introduction to social butterfly Mary Jane, Peter continues alienating his friends, and we continue tracking Harry’s geography during his disappearances.We’re watching The Spectacular

2025/04/29

Drink your Mountain Dew jungle potion and take your allergy meds, because Kraven is kidnapping a saber-toothed tiger to be the Daily Bugle’s new mascot! Chris Cummins (Sci-Fi Explosion) steps in while Doug’s away, and we’re talking Kraven the Hunter’s unfortunately lackluster first appearance in a Spider-Man cartoon. We get into why this episode does every character dirty – including Marvel guests Ka-Zar and Zabu from the Savage Land – along with diving into the queer history surrounding Kraven’s

2025/04/22

Peter faces a big man called Rhino and The Big Man called Tombstone in the finale of the Economics arc! We get into the Daily Bugle staff – from a heroic J. Jonah Jameson to the conclusion of the awkward Betty Brant crush – along with Aunt May as a master manipulator, Harry Osborn’s nonsensical sinister asides, and the perfect introduction of Mary Jane Watson.

Flint Marko gets naked and Peter Parker gets into football as our spoiler-filled revisit of The Spectacular Spider-Man continues! We get sand in all the unmentionable places as we dig into the body horror of the Sandman transformation, the cringe horror of Peter continuing to alienate all his friends, and the psychological horror of Harry Osborn’s dead-eyed, silent, possibly disassociating mother sawing her steak.We’re watching The Spectacular Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 5: “Competition”.Website⁠

2025/04/08

Throw on your cowboy hat and call us hoss! The Economics 101 arc of The Spectacular Spider-Man begins its parade of street-level villains and pulls one of the show’s cleverest moves – putting rootin’ tootin’ Montana in the Shocker costume, and turning two “meh” villains into one very fun one. We talk about the Daily Bugle cast (and Peter’s awkward teenage flirtation with 20-year-old Betty), Shocker as a true sociopath, Harry’s start of darkness, and more.We’re watching The Spectacular Spider-Man:

2025/04/01

For the SERIES FINALE of Spider-Woman, author Shawn Pryor (Kaiju Unleashed) joins us to talk about one last alien invader, one last Star Wars villain, one last bizarre plot, and one last instance of Jeff being the worst! As our beloved heroine faces her first woman villain–a Darth Vader/Freddy Krueger combo who puts people to sleep and attacks them in their dreams!--we bid adieu to the most fun show we’ve ever covered.

2025/03/25

Dr. Connors took The Substance, and it results in a body horror-filled creature feature and one of The Spectacular Spider-Man’s best episodes! We get into why the simple character designs allow for more grotesque and violent sequences (The Lizard almost bites off Spider-Man’s head…twice!). Plus, yet another banger train fight, the true debut of depressed death-seeker Eddie Brock, and Peter Parker alienating all his loved ones so early in the show.We’re watching The Spectacular Spider-Man: Season 1,

The sparks are flying as our spoiler-filled revisit of The Spectacular Spider-Man sees the origin of two electrifying, tragic, and surprisingly compelling stories reinvented for this series – Electro, and Liz Allan’s crush on Peter Parker! We talk about this rightfully-resentful Electro, what makes the Peter/Liz relationship so fascinating, how Spider-Man learns not to kick first and ask questions later, along with all the setup and foreshadowing for Eddie Brock’s sanity, Curt Connors’ negligence,

Tell us there’s something better… than The Spectacular Spider-Man! We’re revisiting the entirety of our favorite Spider-Man show again from the beginning with full spoilers, and it begins with this whirlwind of a premiere! We talk about the show’s origins from creators Greg Weisman and Victor Cook, along with how this episode elegantly interweaves every element of Peter Parker’s life – from the high school drama with Gwen, Harry, and the bullies, to an internship with Dr. Connors and not-yet-evil

Walloping Websnappers! A Spider-Man Podcast ·

2025/02/25

WE WERE WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING! This finale brings the season full circle with a huge rug-pull that makes us happily eat our words and declare this to be the best Spider-Man cartoon since Spectacular. As Spidey and Lonnie get entangled in a gang war and Norman Osborn’s plans are revealed, we talk about this show’s inventive long-term storytelling, Jeff Trammell’s keen awareness of Spidey’s current place in pop culture, and all those set-ups for next season.We’re watching Your Friendly Neighborhood

Spidey fights Daredevil and Scorpion and loses to both, Nico and Harry bond over a drag race, the gang war comes to a fiery head, and Doc Ock does a gay little dance in an exciting cluster of episodes!

Three whole episodes dropped of the newest Spider-Man cartoon, and all deal with Norman Osborn as Peter’s “man in the chair”, a slew of new suits, and Lonnie Lincoln’s continued slide down the slippery slope. We talk about the beautifully freakish Ditko/Kirby-style designs in future-Rhino, future-Chameleon, and their weird-looking friend, all the tech-based villains, getting Harry involved quickly and how that instantly changes the classic Osborn dynamic, and of course… our first look at Otto

We’re covering the newest animated Spider-Man as it airs, and we like it! The premiere offers us a new Spidey origin, a hockey costume, Norman Osborn as a mentor, and a slew of deep cuts and unexpected characters. We talk about the pros and cons of the unique Romita-inspired visual style, along with the exciting shades of Spectacular Spider-Man, the unnecessary multiversal opening (and why it’s good that this show is freed from the MCU), Colman Domingo’s beautiful voice, and more!
