Did you ever expect we’d be talking the KGB and Chernobyl on this Spider-Man podcast? Spidey’s adventures in Russia continue as he intersects with the sexily-voiced Silver Sable and a double-masked Red Skull, and we try to untangle this convoluted Parker parent triple agent spy story that, shockingly, does make sense when you think about it … whether we like it or not!

We’re watching Spider-Man: The Animated Series: Season 5, Episode 3: “Six Forgotten Warriors, Chapter II: Unclaimed Legacy”.

Spider-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!

The 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 wedding dress choice.

We’re watching Spider-Man: The Animated Series: Season 5, Episode 1: “The Wedding”.

In 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, the many butts and giant naked-looking men.

We’re watching Spider-Man: The Animated Series: Season 1, Episodes 8-10: “The Alien Costume, Parts 1-3”.

Spidey 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!”.
