Me & my friend, Pete

In this Season I Bonus Episode, Batman's found love again and an ally in his war on crime, but something's off, and the worst thing a Batman can do in a city like Gotham is trust. Oh, well, at least he still has his journal.

Spidey likes the nightlife, Spidey likes to boogie, Spidey likes to lay hands on any gangster spoiling the fun for his Silver Spoon Gang!

We've got MJ shaking a tailfeather!

We've got Pete and Aunt May reunited!

We've got Gwen and Pete finally admitting their feelings for each other, and love is in the air!

But on the flipside?

We've got the Brainwasher, New York's newest (?) would-be Kingpin, using his nightclub as a front and MJ an unwitting accomplice to his criminal shenanigans!

And if we're talking nightclubs? You know we're talking paradoxes... Namely, how they have become both safe spaces for women in many instances and a structure that upholds the male gaze.

Put on ya dancing shoes and let's go! There's only one rule... Ya gotta come in FEET FIRST!

Spider-Man vs. Ka-Zar!

What is anomie? What makes a person deviant? Who has the authority to control, correct, and police this deviance? Who controls what's perceived as deviance?

With Spidey still running around as an amnesiac, we explore all these questions while Ka-Zar, with a little help from his sabretooth tiger, Zabu, does his best to take down the King of Swing from Forest Hills, Queens!

Spider-Man and Dr. Octopus vs. The US Military?

What a wonky world we're living in when nullifiers erase memories and foes turn friends turn foes again!

We've got John Jameson, Spidey stealing *checks notes* air, the first appearance of a one Captain Stacey, and more infighting than The Temptations on a David Ruffin Ego Trip!

"Ain't nobody comin' to see you, Otto!"

I bet that's what Pete's thinkin'!

In this episode, we talk tariff conspiracies, charismatic authority, and pontificate something fierce on the need to find your lane and put the pedal through the floor...

Somewhere in there Namor and The Invaders put fascists in the only place they ever should be, on their backs.

Correction: In the intro, I say this is Namor: The Sub-Mariner Vol. I #11 in actuality it's #12... oopsie!

Doctor Octopus, fresh off his victory against The King of Swing does the only thing any self-respecting would-be Kingpin of Crime should... subleases a room in the Forest Hills Queens section of New York City. What are the odds Spidey's not dead and the room belongs to his loving Aunt May?
