#315: “Neptune’s Nose Cone” (with Chris Osborne)

About this episode

The episode features a discussion about Spider-Man's Antarctic adventure and various tropes from the 1967 series.

Peter Parker flies to the Antarctic to find a downed satellite…so of course he ends up in a jungle with a volcano! Chris from Play Comics joins us for a “greatest hits” of ‘67 Spidey tropes, including freaky monsters and flying serpents, green-skinned natives that might be racially insensitive, and another girl of the week (though she flies a plane this time!) We discuss the return of J. Jonah Jameson, exactly what and where the Arctic and Antarctic is, and the real story behind Daddy Greenwolf.
