#309: “My Own Worst Enemy”

About this episode

The episode discusses Peter Parker's return and Otto Octavius's adaptation to his new life as Spider-Man.

Peter Parker is back! Or, well… his body is, at least. We’re finally digging into 2017’s adaptation of The Superior Spider-Man as Otto Octavius gets used to his new superpowered body, unmasks himself to learn the identity of his nemesis Spider-Man, and reckons with the reality that Peter Parker’s memories, experiences, and emotions are now his as well. Also, prepare for a hefty tangent discussing how various versions of Otto Octavius smell! It’s important! We’re watching Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017): Season 2, Episode 15: “My Own Worst Enemy”.
