So...it's been awhile, hasn't it? Lady D and Lady H have had some struggles, but we haven't forgotten about this podcast. One thing that has been keeping Lady H sane is reading, so she sent the book signal out to Madame Lazet, Rhayne, Mo_Rease and Lady D to talk about the year that was through books. We clearly had lots to say, so we broke it up in three (3) parts. We hope you enjoy and please let us know what books you read in 2023 and/or plan to read in 2024. Note: there are spoilers for Amber and Danielle Brown's Someone Had To Do It at the end of the episode. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/watchwithyou/message

Hello Watchers! Originally, your friendly neighborhood producer Lady H wanted to discuss the Spider-verse abstractly: discussing Spyder-Byte and Jessica Drew during an episode of Black women, femme, and nonbinary superheroes. And then Lady H got a message from Spider Society X (Black Marvel, Mme Lazet, Miss V, Anwar Starwind, and Mo) that we needed to do an episode on this movie and the animated Spider-verse. Who ignores a message from Spider Society X? Not Lady H, and hopefully not you. Please stay tuned for your introduction to our secret society, and if you haven't seen the movie, it premieres on Netflix today, October 31, 2023. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/watchwithyou/message
