While Mike was away in the desert of Albuquerque, New Mexico, Nick, René and Kara dive into one of the monoliths of comic books: Spider-Man. Why love him? What’s to like? What even IS Spider-Man? Also… Spider-Man fan fiction?? (post-credits)
Episode 160 | Always use 3M tape. ALWAYS. (IRCB QA #2)

Episode 159 | We had a technical glitch (MCU Villians)

For the second half of the show, Tia and René have an in-depth discussion about the villians of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It’s an odd format, but it’s exciting!
