#76: "The Japanese Spider-Man Special"

Published: Dec. 29, 2020, 3:07 p.m.

Say goodbye to 2020 with the Emissary from Hell! We\u2019re joined by Eric Berry and Zach LaVoy of Ranger Command Power Hour for the first two episodes of Toei\u2019s live-action Spider-Man, also known as Japanese Spider-Man. Together, we dive into the creation and legacy of this one-of-a-kind Marvel/tokusatsu crossover full of alien monsters and giant transforming robots, including how it\u2019s influenced Japanese and American pop culture since, and why Takuya Yamashiro is a lot closer to Peter Parker than we might think!
