#318: “The Road to Goblin War”

About this episode

The episode explores the complex relationship between Peter Parker and Otto Octavius as they confront a comic book villain and their own existential issues amidst a brewing Goblin Nation.

The strange relationship of Peter Parker and Otto Octavius continues when they team up to fight a deep-cut comic book villain (the Teflon man, Slyde!) while dealing with their own respective existential crises. Oh, and there’s some kind of creepy Goblin Nation brewing, too! We try to retroactively spot Goblin graffiti and get into this show’s penchant for telling instead of showing.
