That 90s Spider-Man Show

Welcome true believers! This is a podcast about Spider-Man: The Animated Series, in which two jerks (Henry and Jack) go episode-by-episode through the goofy, charming, and often insane cartoon we grew up watching – and dive into the movies and comics along the way.

X-MEN '97: An X-Tremely Late Review 06/17/2025

X-MEN '97: An X-Tremely Late Review X-Men '97 continued the story from X-Men: The Animated Series, which is like the slightly cooler older sibling of our primary focus on this podcast. So of course we were going to talk about it when they brought it back to life. It wasn't really gone, just having an intergalactic romance with space royalty elsewhere. We, however, are a little late to the homecoming. Jack watched it as it came out, while Henry was a late bloomer catching up this year. Together, we are too disorganised to regularly release episodes. Like an X-Men team run by two Morphs. This episode we talk about every episode of the new series (some spoiler-free thoughts up top before we get into it), the fan reaction, what's in the cards for season two, and what this means for a potential comeback of Spider-Man TAS. Also... we like Gambit now??? Including reviews of X-Men movies and other Marvel shows. Find No Context Spider-Man on / Email: A podcast for no one.

S4E7 - Got Morb? 10/05/2024

S4E7 - Got Morb? "It's a 500 Days of Blade situation" Season 4 Episode 7 of Spider-Man: The Animated Series is “The Vampire Queen” Part two of our vampire caper means that's (hopefully) a season wrap on Morbius. But before he attempts to make it big in a cancelled pilot spin-off, he's teaming up with the gang to take down a new hypnotic vampire on the scene: Blade's mum! Some comic book origins this week: Jack gives us a little backstory for Vanessa Brooks before diving into Debra Whitman's comic counterpart: a tale of gaslighting, psychotic episodes, and a few reasons to not date Peter Parker. A podcast for no one. If we get anything wrong, a wizard did it.

Extra: Complaining about RDJ being cast as Doom 08/30/2024

Extra: Complaining about RDJ being cast as Doom 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.

S4E6 - Of Mice And Morb "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!

S4E5 - Three Men and a Boss Baby 12/19/2023

S4E5 - Three Men and a Boss Baby “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.
