Winter TV Roundup

This episode had Beanie Babies, the Spider-Man meme, and Vigilante's mom, and those don't even come close to the exciting cameo in this episode! But most of all, we were right (Ian in particular)! The 11th Street Kids follow Peacemaker into the alternate universe, and Harcourt immediately clocks that SOMETHING is off, and it's not just that Mick Jagger is the lead singer of the Beatles. Also we are officially on Judomaster Watch!
