Welcome to a very special installment of Nuggets of Nerddom, the sidecast of The Fantasy Draft Lineup—where dreams are drafted, fandoms collide, and no character is too obscure to get a spinoff!Joining us in the studio today is none other than Cousin Michal from the Polymuse Experience, and he's brought a five-minute prompt with galaxy-brain potential:👉 Name a character from any property that deserves their own solo comic!That’s all we needed to spiral into an all-out multiversal pitch-fest! We’re talking Multiple Man noir, Mary Jane’s domestic trauma, Short Round: Legacy of the Fedora, and Steve Canyon soaring back into relevance! And just when you think we’re grounded, we go full Mojo—literally—with our dream casting for the bloated tyrant of the Mojoverse (Danny DeVito? Jim Belushi? Jared Leto method-acting into madness?)!We cover:Deep-cut X-Men like Strong Guy and LongshotA surprising defense of Dick Tracy (1990)Scrappy-Doo’s backdoor pilot that never wasWhy Shipwreck deserves his own G.I. Joe trilogyZorak impressions, failed Popeye movies, and the moral complexity of dating while clonedAll that plus… the forgotten weirdness of 90s cartoons, the lost art of comic strips, and a heartfelt plea for someone—anyone—to bring Spanner’s Galaxy back!🌀 Featuring:3 co-hosts1 Cousin Michal25+ spin-off pitches0 plans to stay on-topicListen! Laugh! Launch your own Mojoverse!

Welcome back to the show where the lineups get legendary, the ground rules get wobbly, and the Spidey canon gets absolutely ransacked! This week, the Penny Men are assembling their own Sinister Six — six members, one original, five wild cards!It’s a buffet of bad guys: mad scientists, evil magicians, alien symbiotes, cybernetic bird-men, professional bowlers, and a guy who is literally just a wall! We’ve got Doc Ock duking it out with Doctor Bong, Hobgoblin sharing a glider with Hobgoblin 2099, Mysterio swapping helmet-cleaning tips with Fishbowl Jr., and Kraven the Hunter getting mad he didn’t make the cut!Expect:Aunt May in perilJ. Jonah Jameson’s blood pressure spikingBen Reilly’s sweaters making a comebackAt least three different people screaming “PARKER!” at the same time!We’re pulling in deep cuts from comics, cartoons, video games, toy shelves, and fever dreams — Hydro-Man, Shocker, Hammerhead, The Kangaroo, Big Wheel, Stegron the Dinosaur Man, and, yes, The Hypno-Hustler!And for the completists out there, here’s just a fraction of the roster chaos:Goblin Overload: Green Goblin, Hobgoblin, Demogoblin, Proto-Goblin, and that guy from the 90s cartoon who might have been a goblin but no one’s sureAnimal Kingdom Rejects: Rhino, Vulture, Scorpion, Tarantula, Puma, Grizzly, and one very lost Howard the DuckThe “Is This Even Canon?” Crew: The Wall, Typeface, Big Wheel, Spot, White Rabbit, and a guy who just throws piesToo Many Symbiotes: Venom, Carnage, Toxin, Riot, Lasher, Scream, and that one from the Lego set that doesn’t have a nameSpecial Guest Villains: Kangaroo, Rocket Racer, Hypno-Hustler, Frog-Man (he’s technically not a villain, but try telling him that), and The LooterFour rosters enter, but only one walks away with the coveted title of “Most Likely to Ruin Spider-Man’s Day”! It’s chaos, it’s crossover madness, and it’s the eternal question: how many goblins is too many goblins?

Welcome back to the only podcast where six means chaos and “sinister” means hilarious! In Part 2 of our Sinister Six spectacular, the rosters are finally revealed — and the results are a whiplash-inducing rollercoaster through Spider-Man’s best, worst, and “wait, who?” moments!Alliances are forged, feuds are reignited, and poor Peter Parker is about to have the worst week of his life! We’re talking Aunt May kidnappings, Bugle headline disasters, symbiote slime trails, and at least one villain whose entire plan hinges on roller skates!Highlights from the carnage include:Gregory’s Murderers’ Row: A precision mix of legacy villains, deep-cut absurdities, and one character whose only power is vaguely threatening postureTom’s Chaos Machine: A line-up so structurally unstable it could only work if half the team betrays the other half before lunchBen’s Symbiote Salad: Too many goo monsters, not enough paper towelsGuest Wild Cards: The return of The Wall, a mid-tier goblin nobody remembers, and an appearance by Frog-Man that even he doesn’t understand!And because no Penny Men episode is complete without unnecessary overkill, we’ve got:Goblin-on-goblin violenceTwo villains competing to see who can monologue the longestAn unexpected musical number from Hypno-HustlerThe tragic downfall of Big Wheel (again)One honest-to-goodness fight over the definition of “sinister”By the end, only one roster will be crowned the Ultimate Sinister Six — but all of them will live forever in our hearts, our nightmares, and Spider-Man’s insurance premiums!
