Foul-mouthed Rugboy joins the Nerd as they reminisce about growing up with the Spider-Man toys, storylines and artists, that defined the web-head for their generation. The Nerd recaps “Nothing Can Stop The Juggernaut” from ASM #229-230 and Rugboy hates on Dan Slott! The duo also discuss lame Spidey toys and theme songs from the 70’s, their favorite villains,  the photo cover issue of Amazing Spider-Man, the closing of the oldest comic books store in Chicago and more! Enjoy an after show bonus story about the earliest origins of Spider-Man from comics historian J. David Spurlock.
