#232: “Six Forgotten Warriors”
July 09, 2024 07:00 - 1 hour - 91.4 MBSpider-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. It’s…a lot! We’re watching Spider-Man: The Animated Series: Season 5, Episode 2: “Six Forgotten Warriors, Chapter One”. Source: John Semper's Fac...
#231: “The Wedding”
July 02, 2024 07:00 - 1 hour - 115 MBThe 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 wedd...

June 25, 2024 10:00 - 1 hour - 109 MBSpectacular comic artist Shadia Amin (Spider-Ham, Shiny Misfits) joins us to revisit the fourth season of Spider-Man: The Animated Series, a season of partners, returns, and a buff Black Cat! We discuss the ways the women in Spidey’s life are treated, including the disappeared, returned, and kidnapped Mary Jane – and how it drives Peter Parker and Harry Osborn to weird places.

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! We’re watching Sp...
Man-Spider, Blade & Morbius: The 90s Show Revisited (with Merrilee O’Neil)
June 11, 2024 13:00 - 2 hours - 153 MBIt'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 s...
The Alien Costume: The 90s Show Revisited (with Joshua Moore)
June 05, 2024 14:00 - 1 hour - 115 MBIn the leadup to our coverage of the final season and in celebration of the 30th anniversary, we’re revisiting the first four seasons of Spider-Man: The Animated Series! Joshua Moore (author of the upcoming Morphenomenal: How the Power Rangers Took Over the World) joins us to discuss the first season and its iconic black costume story that forever changed Venom symbiote adaptations. We talk the stronger animation of the early days, the influence of the toyline on this season, and of course, ...
#230: "The Sidewinder Strikes!"
May 28, 2024 10:00 - 1 hour - 87.5 MBSpidey Goes West? Not exactly, but how about a rodeo at Madison Square Garden with an evil clown and robot bull named Diablo, a connoisseur of cowboy collectibles named Wild Willie Wilson, and a masked bandit riding a rocket-powered steed? The pieces of this mystery may not fall quite into satisfying place, but we sure have a great time trying to put it all together. We’re watching Spider-Man (1981): Season 1, Episode 13: “The Sidewinder Strikes!”. Website | Patreon | Discord Part of...
#229: “The A-B-C’s of D-O-O-M”
May 21, 2024 12:00 - 1 hour - 106 MBFor the third time, Doctor Doom tries to take over the world via the United Nations. This time, his hodge-podge plan includes: A mysterious god-like regular guy named Goron who shoots eye beams that do anything and everything, giant fruits and vegetables, NASA, a robot duplicate that appears for one scene, penis mushrooms, an undercover cop, and nuclear missiles. You decide if it makes any sense! (It doesn’t). We’re watching Spider-Man (1981): Season 1, Episode 12: “The A-B-C’s of D-O-O-M”....
#228: “Triangle of Evil”
May 14, 2024 07:00 - 1 hour - 82.3 MBWe were not looking forward to returning to the 1981 cartoon…so color us surprised when we watched this fun, wacky episode with a post-modern sensibility and self-aware humor! Spidey goes on a stunt show with a silly villain named Stuntman who looks and acts like a hardcore edgelord 90s cyborg, and it only gets funnier from there. We’re watching Spider-Man (1981): Season 1, Episode 11: “Triangle of Evil”. Website | Patreon | Discord Part of The Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective Co...
#227: “Invasion of the Black Hole” (Star Wars Day Crossover with Distant Echoes)
May 04, 2024 07:00 - 1 hour - 91.6 MBWe venture to a galaxy far, far away for this Glitterjaw Crossover with Cass and Tommy from Distant Echoes: A Star Wars Podcast! We talk about the time Spider-Woman fought a darksaber-wielding space villain from the dark side who looks suspiciously like Darth Vader. Plus, we discuss familiar-looking starships, Billy starting the Rebel Alliance, droids and Gamorrean henchman, Disney’s The Black Hole, and more We’re watching Spider-Woman: Season 1, Episode 12: “Invasion of the Black Hole”. F...
The Superior Spider-Man, Part Two
April 23, 2024 04:00 - 1 hour - 83.8 MBOur odyssey with Otto Octavius possessing the pilfered body of Peter Parker progresses! And the Avengers are beginning to notice... or are they? In this unlocked Patreon episode, we discuss the difference between Otto's "handling" of Massacre and his response to Screwball & Jester; how things might've gone differently if Tony, Hank, Reed, or literally any scientist superhero were present for the Avengers' interrogation of Spidey; why we understand folks' frustration over the Carlie-MJ dynami...
The Superior Spider-Man, Part One
April 09, 2024 04:00 - 1 hour - 94.4 MBRemember that time Doc Ock switched bodies with Peter Parker and it lasted for, like, two whole years? Over on Patreon, we're currently going through all of The Superior Spider-Man comics for the very first time, and now we're releasing part one of our conversation on the main feed! How does this compare to the 2017 Marvel's Spider-Man animated adaptation? How does Otto trick Spider-Man into a body swap? Is the Mary Jane stuff as weird and creepy as it sounds? And what's the deal with this M...
#226: “The Evil Sorcerer” (with James from Mostly Speakin’ Sentai)
March 27, 2024 12:00 - 1 hour - 127 MBOur midseason finale of the 1967 Spider-Man toon has it all – a sorcerer from the depths of time, a giant sexy imp in a speedo, fantastical battles made from brand new animation, and the triumphant return of Susan! James (from Marsh Land Media and the podcasts Mostly Speakin’ Sentai and This Movie’s Gay) joins us to talk the magical hijinks, along with Letterboxd, podcast reviews, The Mask, and much more! We’re watching Spider-Man (1967): Season 2, Episode 9: “The Evil Sorcerer”. Find Jame...
#225: “Phantom from the Depths of Time” (with Aaron Reynolds of Effin Birds)
March 19, 2024 07:00 - 1 hour - 65.8 MBOh, you thought this show was weird before? Aaron Reynolds, creator of the fucking iconic Effin Birds, joins us when Spidey hops into a spaceship and heads into the completely unrelated sci-fi cartoon Rocket Robin Hood! And despite this episode only existing for cost-cutting measures, we’re blessed with laser-eyed ants, wacky giant animals, and a rad villain in Doctor Manta. Plus, we dig into Canadian TV and the career of radio personality Carl Banas! We’re watching Spider-Man (1967): Seaso...
#224: “Spider-Man Battles the Molemen” (with Animorphing Time)
March 12, 2024 12:00 - 1 hour - 79 MBHaven’t we seen this before? Tyler and Nate of Animorphing Time, The Bruce Campbell Podcast, and Hate Speech join us for the return to the subterranean world of those furry blue Molemen and mostly a recycling of footage we’ve seen before… and somehow it’s more coherent than most episodes this season! Plus, we talk little green elf goblins, parallels to real-world foreign policy, and how capitalism destroyed the Molemen. We’re watching Spider-Man (1967): Season 2, Episode 7: “Spiderman Battl...
#223: “Diamond Dust” (with The Mixed Reviews)
March 05, 2024 11:00 - 1 hour - 78.2 MBGavin and Louie from The Mixed Reviews (the best film podcast!) are here to help us unravel a convoluted plot from the ‘67 Spidey toon, which includes a flamboyant villain named Shakespeare making gangsters wear gorilla suits and shooting liquid latex to steal a precious diamond! Plus, Peter gets very close to another boy in the shower, and four queers try to explain how baseball works. We’re watching Spider-Man (1967): Season 2, Episode 6: “Diamond Dust”. Check out The Mixed Reviews! Fi...
Ask Us Anything: 5th Anniversary Edition
February 27, 2024 13:00 - 3 hours - 215 MBTo celebrate our 5th anniversary, we did another AMA! Go behind the scenes as we talk about the gritty early days of podcasting, including corrupted tracks, sweaty podcast forts, and dying laptops. Plus, we answer listener questions about our memorabilia and collectibles, anime and tokusatsu, Godzilla comic book mashups, FMK with 90s Spider-Man villains, fanfiction and ships, and much more!

#222: “Menace from the Bottom of the World” (with David Arnold)
February 20, 2024 13:00 - 1 hour - 84.8 MBSpider-Man ventures underground to fight a subterranean society of furry blue people in this send-up to Jules Verne! David from the Are You My Mother and Gimmicks podcasts joins us for this fantastical episode with stolen banks, an out-of-nowhere Scooby-Doo twist, and yet another resentful and mean Peter Parker. We’re watching Spider-Man (1967): Season 2, Episode 5: “Menace from the Bottom of the World”. Find more from David: Twitter: @dmuma22 | Instagram: @dmuma Are You My Mother? Podca...
#221: “Criminals in the Clouds” (with Merrilee O’Neil)
February 13, 2024 13:00 - 1 hour - 110 MBPeter Parker tries to join the school football team and woo his latest love interest, but the teen drama is rudely interrupted when an airship-themed villain kidnaps the star player! The delightful Merrilee returns for this oddly structured episode of the ‘67 Spidey toon that includes Skymaster, one of our new favorite original villains who could rival Doctor Doom as a top-tier Marvel villain and should be the next big bad of the MCU. We’re watching Spider-Man (1967): Season 2, Episode 4: “...
#220: “Swing City” [with Enrique from (Un)Popped Podcast]
February 06, 2024 13:00 - 1 hour - 75.6 MBSpidey faces… the final act of Avengers: Age of Ultron?! Enrique from (Un)Popped Podcast joins us as an evil green-skinned scientist makes the island of Manhattan float in the sky and forces Peter to miss his date! We talk about Enrique’s experiences watching the ‘67 Spider-Man cartoon in El Salvador, how the visuals of this show help distract from the recycled animation and lighter narrative, Peter being too distracted by girls to be into science, and more! We’re watching Spider-Man (1967)...
#219: “King Pinned” (with Chris Cummins)
January 31, 2024 08:00 - 1 hour - 86.4 MBSpider-Man 1967 continues its rebooted story as Peter Parker gets a job at the Daily Bugle! Chris Cummins of Sci-Fi Explosion returns for this surprisingly grounded episode, which has Spidey face off against the first animated appearance of Kingpin to uncover a pharmaceutical conspiracy that’s surprisingly relevant to today. Plus, we talk about how modern weird internet comedy might have drawn inspiration from this show’s use of repeated footage! We’re watching Spider-Man (1967): Season 2, ...
#218: “The Origin of Spider-Man”
January 23, 2024 08:00 - 1 hour - 105 MBWe’re going back to the beginning in more ways than one, as the second season of the original 1967 Spider-Man cartoon reboots itself! With a brand new animation studio headed by prolific counterculture icon Ralph Bakshi (pre-Fritz the Cat and Lord of the Rings), the new season starts off with a faithful retelling of Spidey’s origin, complete with psychedelic sequences, watercolor backgrounds, and plenty of cost-cutting. We’re watching Spider-Man (1967): Season 2, Episode 1: “The Origin of S...
#217: “Along Came a Spider…”
January 16, 2024 08:00 - 1 hour - 101 MBDid you know we almost got a mini-Spectacular Spider-Man reunion in 2012? We’re covering the infamous episode of the critically-acclaimed Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes series… the one where Josh Keaton’s big Spider-Man appearance was re-recorded by Drake Bell for frustrating reasons. But despite the minor controversy overshadowing it, this episode shows off the clever storytelling, sharp character writing, and gorgeous animation that make this a top-tier Avengers series. We’re watching...
#216: “The Living Brain”
January 09, 2024 13:00 - 1 hour - 106 MBAll of this season’s major threads come to head (literally) when the Doc Ock-inhabited Living Brain attempts to switch bodies with Spider-Man – all alongside a fast-paced battle through a supervillain prison, a proper Spider-Men/Spider-Girl team-up, and an appropriately bleak start to this show’s Superior Spider-Man adaptation. We’re watching Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017): Season 2, Episode 13: “The Living Brain”. Website | Patreon | Discord Part of The Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collecti...
#215: “Brain Drain”
January 02, 2024 11:00 - 1 hour - 80.7 MBSpider-Man spends this episode being the most relatable he’s ever been – very, very tired and exhausted. As Peter is forced to get some rest, Miles takes the reins to solve a mystery with his new robot buddy Living Brain, who is definitely not evil and definitely not behind all of this! We’re watching Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017): Season 2, Episode 12: “Brain Drain”.

#214: “Bring on the Bad Guys, Part Four”
December 26, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 73.6 MBThe Bad Guys finally finish getting broughten in the final two segments! First, Spidey meets one of our new favorite Electros, a haphazard inventor lady who electrocutes herself into oblivion. Then, the arc concludes with a mastermind Chameleon, two J. Jonah Jamesons, and another miscasting of Patton Oswalt. We’re watching Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017): Season 2, Episode 12: “Bring on the Bad Guys, Part Four”. Website | Patreon | Discord Part of The Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective ...
#213: “Bring on the Bad Guys, Part Three”
December 19, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 71.8 MBIt might be close to Christmas, but it’s still Halloween for Jack O’Lantern – and this hysterical cackling version of him who just wants cash to buy more Halloween decorations is an absolute joy. Then, in the second segment, Spidey fights and then teams up with Prowler (whose suit we wish was cooler) against robo-Silvermane… somehow prompting yet another Miles Morales conversation from us. We’re watching Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017): Season 2, Episode 10: “Bring on the Bad Guys, Part Three”...
#212: “Bring on the Bad Guys, Part Two”
December 12, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 90.4 MBANYA CORAZON IS SPIDER-GIRL! Though we wish her entrance had more fanfare (and a full episode), it’s still fun seeing a Spidey story from the perspective of Gwen and Anya, the latter of whom finally gets a chance to spin webs by fighting The Spot. And in the second segment, we meet this show’s version of Mysterio! We’re watching Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017): Season 2, Episode 9: “Bring on the Bad Guys, Part Two”. Website | Patreon | Discord Part of The Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collecti...
#211: “Bring on the Bad Guys, Part One”
December 05, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 103 MBIt’s no surprise that we love Hippo and Panda-Mania, a literal anthropomorphic hippo and his panda onesie-wearing friend with wrestling moves. But we also love the beginning of this arc, which is penned by comic legend J.M. DeMatteis and features two distinct segments of Spidey facing C-list bad guys and doing a sick Akira slide on a motorcycle. We’re watching Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017): Season 2, Episode 8: “Bring on the Bad Guys, Part One”. Website | Patreon | Discord Part of The G...
#210: "Venom Returns (2017)"
November 28, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 98.3 MBVenom’s continued revenge on Spider-Man brings out a slew of fun horror tropes as Peter’s loved ones are kidnapped! This action-packed conclusion features a dramatic unmasking, classic Venom belly-mouth, inspired lighting effects, and even more complicated feelings about this show’s use and view of Miles Morales.We’re watching Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017): Season 2, Episode 7: “Venom Returns”. Website | Patreon | Discord Part of The Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective Contact us...
#209: “Dead Man’s Party”
November 21, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 101 MBWe’re throwing a party, because the 2017 show is good again–and just in time for the return of Venom! Eddie Brock speaks (!!!) and we learn that he’s a narcissistic, irredeemable creep… who is extremely fun to watch. We talk about the show finally figuring out how to balance Miles as both plucky comic relief AND a superhero, a very out of character Max Modell, horseshoes and robot dances, and more. We’re watching Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017): Season 2, Episode 6: “Dead Man’s Party”. Website...
#208: “School of Hard Knocks”
November 14, 2023 08:00 - 1 hour - 72.4 MBOn one hand, Kamala Khan is the big guest star! On the other hand, this is a distinctly cold and not-fun version of Kamala Khan, which doesn’t seem particularly Kamala Khan-like! Spidey and Ms. Marvel infiltrate an evil boarding school and get tangled in an Avengers kidnapping in an episode that should be way, way more entertaining than it is. We’re watching Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017): Season 2, Episode 5: “School of Hard Knocks”. Website | Patreon | Discord Part of The Glitterjaw Qu...
#207: “Rise Above It All”
November 07, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 78.5 MBWe know you’ve been waiting for it. Finally, we’re talking about everyone’s favorite riveting and popular villain team… The Wake Riders? Nah. Unfortunately, this episode’s Super Sentai rejects and a non-redemption arc for Vulture do not make for a good outing, despite coming from a writer we like. We’re watching Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017): Season 2, Episode 4: “Rise Above It All”. Website | Patreon | Discord Part of The Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective Contact us: @WallopingWebPo...

October 26, 2023 15:00 - 33 minutes - 27.7 MBIn our first Glitterjaw crossover bonus episode, Katie from Novel Gaming joins us to chat about our spoiler-free first impressions of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, the new game from Insomniac!

#206: “Between an Ock and a Hard Place”
October 24, 2023 13:47 - 1 hour - 89.4 MBThe Master Planner’s Master Plan comes to fruition in one of Spider-Man 2017’s best outings! A delightful Doc Ock superfan Carolyn Trainer upends the harmful “obsessive fangirl” tropes and is instead a welcome dash of fun in an episode full of anime-esque body horror and psychic energy fight sequences. We’re watching Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017): Season 2, Episode 3: “Between an Ock and a Hard Place”. Website | Patreon | Discord Part of The Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective Contact ...
#205: “Take Two”
October 17, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 90.1 MBNew season, new school year, new showrunners… new Doc Ock? Otto seeks redemption and a super-science device gets stolen by Wild Pack in the REAL season premiere of the 2017 Spider-Man. But we get hung up on this episode’s messy historical science “facts”, Peter’s money issues coupled with the lack of Harry, the continued underuse of Miles, and what feels like the show steering in a more classical Spider-Man direction that has us conflicted! We’re watching Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017): Season ...
#204: “How I Thwipped My Summer Vacation”
October 10, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 78.2 MBWe begin the second season of the 2017 Spider-Man series with less of a season premiere and more of an interlude episode made up of low-stakes vignettes about summer! While Peter tries (and fails) to have a successful beach day, baseball game, concert, and camping trip, we dig into the shift in showrunners – and how that may have affected this episode’s unexpected Daily Bugle ending. We’re watching Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017): Season 2, Episode 1: “How I Thwipped My Summer Vacation”. Websit...
#203: “Along Came Spidey” (with Chris Cummins)
October 03, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 60.6 MBThe origin trilogy of Amazing Friends ends with an incredibly faithful adaptation of Spider-Man’s debut! Chris Cummins of Sci-Fi Explosion joins us for one of this show’s best episodes, a gorgeously animated and emotional love letter to Spidey and his friends that also features a hot Shocker who was definitely a gay awakening for many people. We’re watching Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends: Season 2, Episode 3: “Along Came Spidey”. More from Chris: Sci-Fi Explosion on Twitch Instagram ...
#202: “A Fire-Star is Born” (with Greg Leatherman)
September 26, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 56 MBFirestar’s origin story pits Angelica against one of the most devious, megalomaniacal, pure evil criminal masterminds ever seen – Bonnie the Cheerleader! Greg Leatherman (of Very Random Encounters and It’s Super Effective) joins for this fun Carrie homage and X-Men crossover that highlights why we love Firestar! We’re watching Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends: Season 2, Episode 2: “A Fire-Star is Born”. More from Greg: The Mystery Business on Kickstarter Very Random Encounters It’s Su...
#201: “The Origin of Iceman” (with Dr. Christopher Roman)
September 19, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 49.7 MBOur amazing friends have joined us for this three-episode season of Amazing Friends origin stories! Dr. Christopher Roman, author of Queering Wolverine in Comics and Fan Fiction: A Fastball Special, brings his background as a professor specializing in comics studies and queer theory to analyze this depiction of one of the gayest X-Men – Iceman! And while there’s plenty of queerness to pull from Bobby’s coming out story (told through a futuristic mind probe…for some reason) it’s also split wi...

#200: “The Amazing Spider-Man (1977)”
September 05, 2023 13:00 - 2 hours - 123 MBWe’re celebrating 200 episodes with the very first live-action Spider-Man film – the pilot movie for 1977’s The Amazing Spider-Man series! It’s a strange mixed bag, which includes a good performance by Nicholas Hammond as Peter Parker, a divisive J. Jonah Jameson, a weird lack of Uncle Ben (and conflict for Peter), a shockingly dark premise from an otherwise boring villain, and some ambitious stunts and effects. We’re watching The Amazing Spider-Man’s pilot movie, Spider-Man (1977). Webs...
#199: “The Electric Company’s Spidey Super Stories”
August 29, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 90.2 MBSpider-Man’s first ever appearance in live action might not be where you’d expect! We’ve ventured back to the 1970s with the educational children’s sketch comedy show The Electric Company and its “Spidey Super Stories” segments, which pit a silent Spidey who only communicates with word balloons against puntastic comedy villains (including a Dracula played by Morgan Freeman and a cake-sitting Yeti). It’s low-budget silliness and absurdity at its finest! We’re watching a compilation of sketch...
#198: "The Prowler"
August 22, 2023 12:00 - 2 hours - 108 MBA season we’ve loved ends on a strangely lackluster – but still interesting – note, with the first ever animated appearance of Hobie Brown as The Prowler, voiced by Tim Russ! We get some noir-style flashbacks and narration, but we don’t get the social commentary or characterization we were hoping for. Plus, we discuss our overall feelings on this fun, weird, and unexpected penultimate season! We’re watching Spider-Man: The Animated Series: season 4, episode 11: “Partners in Danger Chapter X...
#197: "The Lizard King"
August 15, 2023 04:00 - 1 hour - 75.1 MBPeter and Mary Jane are getting married in a month (!!!) and they immediately have their new dynamic tested thanks to an underground society of lizard people living in the sewers! And through a very classic sci-fi tale, we get to see women like MJ, Debra Whitman, and Margaret Connors absolutely kick ass. We’re watching Spider-Man: The Animated Series: season 4, episode 10: “Partners in Danger Chapter X: The Lizard King”. Website | Patreon | Discord Contact us: @WallopingWebPod ...
#196: "The Haunting of Mary Jane Watson"
August 08, 2023 13:02 - 1 hour - 109 MBMary Jane tries to move past her traumatic disappearance and amnesia by, of course, getting a role in a stunt-heavy blockbuster! Mysterio, pirate skeleton robots, and hands-down one of the coolest villains we’ve ever gotten make this theatrical, Phantom of the Opera meets Terminator romp also an extra queer affair, and we’re here for it all. We’re watching Spider-Man: The Animated Series: season 4, episode 9: “Partners in Danger Chapter IX: The Haunting of Mary Jane Watson”. Website |...

#195: "Return of the Green Goblin"
August 01, 2023 17:11 - 1 hour - 101 MBGrab your late night pizzas and put on those Goblin gloves for one of the show’s best outings! A combination of bad-friending from Peter, prodding from an extradimensional Green Goblin, and a teensy bit of sanity slippage makes Harry take up the Goblin mantle… and the poor guy STILL gets berated by his dad about it.
