Main Topic: 01:08:13

Stan Lee is the most well known comics creator of all time, and at age 95, most consider him a harmless, sweet old man who is responsible for creating their favorite superheroes. Unfortunately, disturbing allegations of sexual assault against his nurses have now come to light that completely call into question what we think we know about Stan Lee. The Pals examine the information that’s currently available and do their best to comment on a very uncomfortable subject.
