Issue #61: Lois Pegs Clark! The PTP Shipper Special!

CONTENT WARNING: In the conversation of tonight's episode we discuss the reasoning as to why we do not support the relationship of Talia Al Ghul and Batman and the subject and use of the words "Rape" and "Rapist" is used in reference to Talia despite retcons in comics changing the initial conception of Damian Wayne. We felt it important to speak on this because members of this podcast are Assault Survivors. We still feel this episode can be enjoyed for the content and we hope you love it just as much as we enjoyed recording it.
