Jason and Rosie dive into the first two episodes of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man on Disney+. Spider-Man swings into animation again, this time at Marvel Studios. Led by Jeff Trammell - who helmed some of the best episodes of Craig of the Creek - this series unique look has divided fan, but it's big heart gives reason to stick around. Rosie and Jason wonder why Spider-Man doesn't sound like a Beastie Boy.  And of course, there’s that big twist involving Norman Osborn!

The first animated series for James Gunn's DCU has concluded and we've got a lot thoughts. Mainly, why are we still coding disability as monstrous? Is David Zaslav running security in Pokolistan? What's the over-under on at least one student wanting to get freaky with a fish girl? Is Doctor Phosphorus the show's MVP?

Jod betrayed us all and courageous Wim has learned nothing. The penultimate episode of Skeleton Crew left us shocked (Jod killed a defenseless man?!) and dismayed (please don't pull an Anakin 2.0, Jod!!). Why is hologram technology so prevalent? Is this the best heel turn in modern television history? How did Jod get on the Onyx Cinder? Star Wars TV, is it getting better? Rosie and Jason ponder these questions and the end of Skeleton Crew season one.
