🎙️ UTLRadio Presents: Pop Culture Court – Spider-Man vs. J. Jonah Jameson: Is the Daily Bugle Guilty of Defamation?

📢 EXTRA! EXTRA! Read all about it! The Daily Bugle has been running headlines for years: “Spider-Man: Menace or Criminal?” J. Jonah Jameson has made it his life’s work to take down the wall-crawler, but has he crossed the legal line?

In this special episode of Pop Culture Court, we put Jameson on trial for defamation, with Spider-Man as the plaintiff. Can a superhero sue a newspaper for ruining his reputation? Or does the First Amendment give Jameson the right to call Spidey whatever he wants?

We will present both sides of the case—analyzing whether Spider-Man, as a masked vigilante, could win in court and whether Peter Parker, the man behind the mask, has a better shot. We will compare this fictional battle to real-world defamation lawsuits, including Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard, and see if Spider-Man stands a chance.

But here is the twist—you, the listener, are the jury. By the end of this episode, it is up to you to decide: 🕷️ Is Spider-Man the victim of a smear campaign? 📰 Or is J. Jonah Jameson just doing his job as a fearless journalist?

Court is now in session—tune in and render your verdict on this episode of Pop Culture Court!
