Friendly Neighborhood Webhead Podcast 29: Daily Bugle Extra--No Way Home Reaction!

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.

Friendly Neighborhood Webhead Podcast 28: Daily Bugle Extra--Homecoming Wrap!

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!

Friendly Neighborhood Webhead Podcast 01: Spider-Man Part 1

Welcome to the first episode of the Friendly Neighborhood Webhead Podcast! Comics Writer Erik Burnham and cartoonist Ethan Colchamiro are talking Spidey. Yes, there are other podcasts that discuss the Spidey films and comics, but this one is ours... and we make the most of it.

In episode one, we discuss the first half hour of Spider-Man 2002, the feature film debut of the wall-crawler, as directed by Sam Raimi. We also talk about the comics that connected us to Spidey, which, come on, you can't find that elsewhere.

Note: This is the special edition cut, edited down from the original premiere's raw audio (we found the editing software during episode 5) when updated across podcast platforms, it should be a 29 minute cut.

Thanks for supporting the Webheads!
