Ep.52 - Mass Murdering Genocide Girl with Brett Simon Jul 30, 2018

Show notes

Episode Notes

I'm not gonna sugarcoat this one for you guys, this episode deals with a rough story. A story so rough that Zack needed everyone to know he was drinking to soothe the pain. Also we brought in Brett Simon from Renegades: Talking Valiant to discuss it. We are sorry it came to this (but not sorry for Brett because he is dope).

Ranked This Episode:

IvX #0-#6
X-Factor #65-68 (Endgame)
Uncanny X-Men #390 (The Cure)

Make sure you check out Renegades: Talking Valiant!

Ep.48 - Isn't That What The Marvel WIkia Is For? with Jordan D White Jul 02, 2018

Show notes

Episode Notes

The Marvel Wikia describes Jordan D White as "a panhandler in New York City". I describe him to my uninterested co-workers as the guy in charge of X-Men, which frankly, is a more relevant description. We talk about some of the big, upcoming changes in the world of X-Men, how to best structure a line, and the dangerous difference between voicing his opinion as a fan vs an editor.

Zack’s mic is still broke but he has a service ticket in with Blue to get a new ding dang microphone that doesn’t sound like he is running it through a BOSS DS-1. He does have a new USB cable on order to see if that fixes it, which will be here just in time for the next episode.

Ep.47 - That Steven Spielberg Jun 25, 2018

Show notes

Episode Notes

You know him best from ET, Saving Private Ryan, and that movie about farting giants but Steven Spielberg (yes, that Steven Spielberg) participated in the creation of an X-Men comic once. It's actually really good. Also some other times that the X-Men helped kids in need.

Zack's mic is still broke but he has a service ticket in with Blue to get a new ding dang microphone that doesn't sound like he is running it through a BOSS DS-1. Sorry.

Ranked this episode:

Amazing X-Men #13 (Charm School)
Extraordinary X-Men #17
The X-Men in: Life Lessons

Ep.46 - Me & Pizza Hut? We're Your Friends with Chris Sims Jun 18, 2018

Show notes

Episode Notes

Special, unintentially long episode of you guys this week. X-Men '92 co-writer, and podcaster who we stole the entire concept of this show from, Chris Sims joins us to talk about one thing, Arcade. Along the way we have some fantastic conversations about, well, most things X-Men.

Also Zack's mic broke right before recording this and he had to use his emergency back-up mic (not the double back-up which is a Rock Band USB mic, but stil) so sound quality isn't where we want it to be. Sorry.

Ranked this episode:

Uncanny X-Men #123-124 (Murder World)
X-Force #29-30 (Adam-X The X-Treme Is Back... And Things Have Never Been Deadlier)
X-Men Collector's Edition #1-4 (Pizza Hut X-Men)

Ep.45 - X-Treme Makeover Home Edition Jun 11, 2018

Show notes

Episode Notes

They say home is where the heart is, which is ridiculous. My heart lives in my ribcage right next to my breathe bags. Still, the X-Men's home is important so we have dedicated an entire episode to that building.

Ranked this episode:

X-Men: Survival Guide to the Mansion
Special Edition X-Men #1 (Back-Up)
X-Men: Evolution #9 (House Party)

Ep.44 - Blue Kayne Jun 04, 2018

Show notes

Episode Notes

They got the raddest hooks They got the dopest looks And when they're misunderstood it's even better

Who are they? Mutants. And mutants are so hot right now. Zack and Adam take a beat to look at mutants bearings on pop culture.

Ranked This Episode:

Uncanny X-Men #395-#398 (Poptopia)
Morlocks #1-#4
X-Force #116-#119 (1st X-Statix)
