This isn't a full, in-depth look like we've done with the other Spidey movies so far (we'll need a copy we can pause for that!) but after two years of pandemic, Ethan and Erik had to geek out about the pure joy of returning to the theater to watch the web-slinger sling webs once more in this, the capper to the Homecoming trilogy. In honor of the new year, we also talk some of our favorite New Beginnings for Spider-Man in the comics. And if you wonder, YES, there will be spoilers aplenty in this episode.
Hosts Ethan Colchamiro and Erik Burnham decided to split off their post-movie wrap to its own episode, mostly because Erik gets twitchy when any one episode gets TOO long. It was recorded in June 2021, but we wisely took out all of our No Way Home speculation after seeing that film. HAPPY 2022, WEBHEADS!
Ethan and Erik discuss the last quarter of Spider-Man Homecoming and -- since Erik took so DANG LONG to edit this episode, they also have a new holiday themed comics talk -- our favorite Spider-Man Christmas stories!

Ethan and Erik discuss Spidey-related news from the entertainment world (cartoons, movie casting, and something cool down at Disney's Avengers Campus); the third section of Spider-Man Homecoming, and top it all off discussing Marvel Team-Up #13, where Spider-Man and Captain America face the Grey Gargoyle!
Ethan and Erik continue their discussion of Peter Parker's first full-length MCU adventure, starting with the party at Liz's and going all the way towards the Academic Decathlon.
