On this week's episode of Who Wants to Get Attacked by Dogs? the superheroes get attacked by dogs. They also write rude notes to each other and get a makeover. What a show!

S1E4 – Beautiful Fruit Bowl Moments

Aug 6th, 2020 1:55 PM

This week on a truly rancid episode of Who Wants to Be a Superhero? the heroes are degraded and humiliated by their friends and families before being forced to degrade and humiliate some actors pretending to be prisoners. It just goes to show you, there are no rules, and every choice is a conscious choice. Content warning for brief discussion of suicide for about 30 seconds starting at 1:16:05.
