Episode 425. James B and Eddie take a trip through the first 40 years of Doctor Octopus history, from his first humiliating victory over Spider-Man to his multiple deaths, resurrections, and questionable decision to marry Aunt May. Along the way, they revisit the Sinister Six, Hammerhead, Black Cat, and some of the most memorable moments in Spider-Man history. They also tackle Spider-Man/Doctor Octopus: Year One, where Otto's childhood helps explain how he became one of Marvel's greatest villains. But the real question is whether James B and Eddie can do a better job reviewing comic books than artificial intelligence, or whether ChatGPT and Claude are about to put them both out of work!
