About this listen

It’s the famously bonkers, surreal, and very gay episode that broke our brains! Chris Cummins (Archie Comics, Sci-Fi Explosion) joins us to revisit the classic Amazing Friends episode we originally covered very early in our podcast, where Dr. Doom accidentally imbues a lonely down-on-his-luck man named Mr. Frump with infinite god-like powers and absolute chaos ensues. We give an in-depth queer reading of this episode and its reality-bending horror, including Mr. Frump coming freshly out of the closet, Dr. Doom as a party bottom, and Aunt May as the only good ally.

We’re watching Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends: Season 1, Episode 3: “The Fantastic Mr. Frump”.
