Reviews

4.8 out of 5 stars from 715 ratings
  • I’ve been listening for years. They’re a great listen for Spidey and Comic fans.

    I don’t always agree with their perspectives or takes, but these two guys know their Spidey history, and their passion for it is obvious. Their reviews were always thoughtful… but when they started doing retrospectives on spider-man history both in universe and from the pov the comic industry at large, they elevated their podcast to an even higher level. I love their creative team retrospective breakdowns. Big Time Recommend.

    Give them a listen.

  • Disappointed

    I’ve been a longtime listener and I have finally hit my breaking point. The one sided political hate has finally driven me to abandon the podcast. I’ve been a spidey fan since I was 12 and this is the only podcast I can find that doesn’t insult my spidey intellect. But the politics are too much for me. I read comics to escape such messes.
