Extra cut convo from our recent episode for being too darn long a tangent.
Finally... we can get Victor Von Doom, the romani man who used science and sorcery to become Marvel's greatest villain put to page, can be done right. OR we could cast Robert Downey Jr, because that is the safest ($80 million) bet. The big news from Marvel out of SDCC this year was that RDJ has been cast as ol' Doom.
Well, we don't like it! We have plenty of reasons to be sceptical, so maybe skip this one if you don't want to hear two guys get pedantic about your favourite actor being cast. Maybe people who like this decision listen to this podcast; we don't know. Frankly, we don't want to know. It's a market we could do without.

"We regret to inform that you it is indeed Morbin' time once again"
Season 4 Episode 6 of Spider-Man: The Animated Series is “The Awakening”
Oh, it's good to be back! We are now back on our BS in more ways than one, this time recording from different continents for the noble goal of talking about *reads notes* Morbius!? What the heck? Let's go on hiatus again!

“And then Spider-Man took Scorpion to the diaper factory”
Season 4 Episode 5 of Spider-Man: The Animated Series is “Partners”
After a break between episodes due to some non-neogenic life events, Henry and Jack are back to talk about maybe the most outrageous episode of the show so far. We've got some spider-creepin', cyborg humilation, and the one and only Crime Boss Baby: Silvermane. As well as investigating the science of baby geniuses and armchair therapising Alisa and Alistair, we get waylaid by the true titular partners of the episode, the neogenic odd couple AKA a cohabiting Vulture and Scorpion. The trenchcoat economy is back in business, baby.
Alongside a cavalcade of returning plot threads from early seasons, we delve into some of the voices behind the cartoon and briefly flashback to some Silvermane comic stories that do not involve talking babies.

This episode Jack is joined by Diego Crespo + Gene Aversa from The Waffle Press to talk about our favourite comic book adaptations and ask the big questions: what makes a good comic adaptation? How faithful should they be to the source material? Can we survive this conversation without talking about the current Spider-Man comics? (the answer is no).
This week we took suggestions from the lovely weirdos in our Discord. If you want to join in to talk movies, comics, TV, or just share dumb memes without the hateful nonsense of other social media platforms, join us in The Radioactive Spider-Hole.

Oh boy. Did you know that Kraven the Hunter had children? Did you know there are close to 100 KRAVEN CHILDREN? Did you know one of them is a kaiju from outer space?? Well, don’t worry, there’s plenty more to learn from this absurd family history. #TheYearOfKraven
Note: this episode was recorded before it was announced that the Kraven the Hunter movie has been delayed until 2024.

Calypso, loving(?) partner to Kraven the Hunter, has a short but wild ride through Marvel Comics history. From her bongo-playing origins in the early 80s to her confusing and unfortunate demise in the 90s, there’s a lot to talk about with this voodoo witch – including but not limited to: a brief history on Marvel going bankrupt, the coming of the edgelord Arachknight, stepson hijinks, devil doppelgangers, and a few more reasons why Henry will never read a comic book. I wonder why half of these issues aren’t on Marvel Unlimited? #TheYearOfKraven
If you want to check out the images we’re talking about, Jack put together all the comic panels for you to check out on the blog here.
Issues referenced:
Amazing Spider-Man #209 (1980), Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man #65 (1982), Spider-Man #1-5 (1990), Daredevil (1964) #310-11 (1992), Daredevil Annual #9 (1993), Web of Spider-Man #109-10 (1994), Spider-Man ’97 #1 (1997), Spectacular Spider-Man #249-253

Season 4 Episode 4 of Spider-Man: The Animated Series is “The Return of Kraven”
The third entry in the loose trilogy of Kraven appearances is here to be side-tracked by conversations about racism and Bananaman. But back to the episode, we’ve got a mysterious creature on the loose and a hunt through the jungles of New York to find it. What is this, season 1?
Kraven has returned, again, somehow. No comic backstory this time and to Jack’s surprise no voodoo either. But don’t worry, that just means we’ve got one in the chamber for Weird Lore BS Corner… once we silence those darn bongos…

Season 4 Episode 3 of Spider-Man: The Animated Series brings us to “The Black Cat”
Henry forgot his microphone, Jack tries not to die, and the Kingpin has yet another OnlyFISK venture – this time with more cat outfits. As if this episode couldn’t get more inappropriate, Peter gets an STI from a rooftop encounter with a strange woman who may just be benefiting from the proportional sexiness of a Steve Rogers, perfects the mid-air spoon, then tries out some stripper clothes. SHIELD, bless them, are doing their best.
In our comic origins segment we talk about Felicia Hardy’s first appearance in 1979’s The Amazing Spider-Man #194/195, which is both spectacularly goofy, relentlessly horny, and monumentally depressing. Check out the episode notes for some panels:

Season 4 Episode 2 of Spider-Man: The Animated Series is the first of a two-parter: “The Cat”
After some tangents into Jack’s dreams and Henry’s masochistic movie-watching, we dive into a tale of WW2 spies, Sam Eliot lookalikes and a new addition to the OnlyFISK lineup. Yes, it’s a sequel. Also, Doc Ock is here. Maybe he’ll be less embarrassed if we pretend we didn’t see him.
Moving on from Nick Fury’s ramshackle operation, we briefly talk about The Cat’s origins in the comics as well as his mentor, Black Fox. Oh, and there’s an update on Mud-Thing! For all you Weird Loreheads.

Season 4 of Spider-Man: The Animated Series begins with “Guilty”
Subscribe to our Patreon!
Robbie Robertson, the reigning dad of last season, is drawing a glock again – but this time it’s a lazer gun, and he has no idea how it ended up in his hands. But there’s a man that would risk his neck for his brother man, who won’t cop out when there’s danger all about: Jigsaw Jameson.
JJ dons the original trench coat and fedora, suiting up into his alt costume as the hero this city deserves. After all, this is a town with gaslighting cabbies, the irredeemable Baby Joe’s, and a place where Robbie Robertson of all people is considered a lucky man.
For our comics segment we talk about the Spectacular J. Jonah Jameson noir story from 1983, then jump into Joe “Robbie” Robertson’s origins as a Lee-Romita creation, while Jack figures out just how many times he’s quit the Bugle, been fired from the Bugle, and how many times he’s fired our down-on-his-luck photographer. All of the reasons are insane.

We’re releasing this from behind the veil of our Patreon feed to let y’all regular feed listeners in on one of our Blade retrospectives… but not one you probably know about.
As the credits rolled on the cinematic garbage fire that was Blade: Trinity, we all looked around at ourselves and thought to ourselves: “Well, at least we’ll never get an on-screen Blade as bad as this.” To most of us, this thought was a relief, but to screenwriter David S. Goyer, it was merely a challenge.
If this is the first time you’re hearing of Blade: The Series, there’s definitely a reason for that. Blade: The Series is David S. Goyer’s rock bottom, and considering he wrote the screenplays for Batman v Superman and Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, this is no mean feat. In fact, Blade: The Series is rock bottom for everyone involved. Even Kirk “Sticky Fingaz” Jones, whose job replacing Wesley Snipes as Blade is somehow both the pinnacle and nadir of his short and storied acting career.
On the latest addition to our Patreon feed, Jack and Henry groan, sigh and complain their way through Blade: The Series, where middle-aged vampire moms terrorise the public and we see how the transition to the small screen made Blade a far less effective fighter (unless, of course, he’s up against a pregnant woman).

Welcome to another addition of Weird Lore BS Corner, in which we ask the question: Who is the Hobgoblin? And yes, we know you can just google that answer, but the mystery isn’t about the resolution, it’s about the mind-breaking confusion we suffer along the way…
This episode has everything: red herrings, toupée shenanigans, groin pulls, group blackmail, robots, evil twins, clones, demons and cyborgs! Also, there’s a medieval-looking dude who rides a stolen goblin glider who may or may not be the real deal or a brainwashed sap during any one comic panel. Tune in to descend into madness with two jerks locked in a basement somewhere.
Jack put together all the comic panels and references for you to check out on the blog here. Give it a glance so he feels less insane for doing it!
Also, there’s a special bonus weird lore on the behind-the-scenes nonsense from the Marvel offices that allowed some of this to occur – you can find that over on our Patreon.

So we sat down to finally have a chat about what we’re expecting from Spider-Man: No Way Home later this year.
We also recorded half this episode before the new trailer dropped, so you can see us being proven wrong during the very same podcast!

Just in time for Eternals to come out and with Hawkeye just around the corner, we decided now was the perfect time to talk about the MCU stuff that came out this year that everyone has already watched, talked about, and moved on from. Or have they? I don’t know what’s happening outside my flat anymore.
This bonus swing-tangent is all about Shang-Chi: The Legend of the Ten Rings, the long-awaited Black Widow movie and touch on our general feelings on the MCU at the moment. As for the rest of 2021’s offerings… stay tuned.
