And we are BACK!

Season 2 soldiers on with one more pair of character-focused episodes. Rogue is having a bad day when voices in her head force her to finally recall her origin story, where there are no winners. Meanwhile Beast meets himself a love interest. When the FOH's arrive to break them up, Wolverine is on the case to break them back. Let's dive into 'A Rogue's Tale' and 'Beauty and the Beast.' 

Bishop's back from the future to stop a dastardly plague from wiping out all mutants, but Cable's dropping in from the extra future to stop Bishop from doing too good a job. It's the rip-roaring time-travel showdown you've been waiting for as we dive into 'Time Fugitives'!

Back again from a lengthy hiatus, where we rejoin our merry band of mutants in their travels from the slopes of Kilimanjaro to the tank-infested snows of Siberia as old enemies return from banishment to wreak fresh havoc on the X-Men's home lives. I told you this season had themes! Let's dig into "Whatever It Takes" and "Red Dawn!"

We return at last as the second season commences! Things seem to be going well for the X-Men, as Scott and Jean get married (despite Logan's murderous jealousy from the sidelines), and a new pro-mutant president is sworn in. But a familiar face(s) has returned to mess with the team, a new hate group is tearing up the streets, and a new big bad guy is overseeing it all. 

Time to break down 'Til Death Do Us Part: Part One and Two."

It's going down for the world to see in the first season finale as enemies become allies to stop the extra-giant robot with the weird brain surgery kink. Let's dig into "The Final Decision", plus a look back at the highs and lows of X-MEN's first season!

Spooky season is upon us! We team with our old friend and neighbor Rachael Klinger for a deep dive into 1993's subversive stop-motion holiday masterpiece sprung from the mind of Tim Burton and given form and voice by Henry Sellick and Danny Elfman. Is it the perfect metaphor for both artistic rejuvenation AND cultural appropriation run amuck?

Let's dig into THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS!

Bishop, the world's worst time-traveler, needs to prevent an assassination that will start the dominoes leading to the Sentinels taking over the world and enslaving mutantkind. If only he could remember which X-Man he's supposed to shoot.

Let's dig into "Days of Future Past, Part 1 & 2"!

A scientist on Muir Island has developed a cure for the X-gene, and mutants are lining up around the block to enlist the doctor's services (such as Rogue), or to take him out permanently (such as Cable and the Freedom Force). But the so-called Cure is not what it seems, and is concealing something truly Apocalyptic. Let's dig into "The Cure" and Come the Apocalypse!"

Take a big ol' scoop of Jim Henson's puppet-filled mind, pour in some signature David Bowie glam, top it off with some teenage Jennifer Connelly, and bake to perfection! 

Olivia (@olivyum) joins us via Zoom to discuss the 80s Muppet-goblin-fueled dark-fantasy cult classic LABYRINTH!

We're back to tackle a pair of episodes packed with guest-stars. The X-Men discover the hard way that Genosha isn't the safe haven it was advertised as, but is really a slave compound where their fellow mutants are forced to build Sentinels. They escape that disaster only to find another, as the Juggernaut arrives to wreck the mansion and tear up the city. 

Justin Kemmling (@justinkemmling) joins us again via Zoom to bust open the seminal sci-fi-horror-comedy classic from 1984, where a trio of ne'er-do-well scientists (and one late-arriving civilian) start their own paranormal business, just in time to save New York City and the world! Hell, you probably know the story already. It's GHOSTBUSTERS!

The first season takes a left turn as the X-Men go underground to fight some horny mutant hobos, then Wolverine heads north to hang with some natives while Sabretooth throws giant snowballs at him cuz he's a dick. Let's dig into "Captive Hearts" and "Cold Vengeance"!

The first season marches on as a mutant from Professor X's past returns, and his powers and philosophy may be more than the X-Men can handle. Meanwhile Beast's trial is cut short when another feral mutant tears up the place, and he reminds everyone of Wolverine. Everyone that is, except Wolverine. Let's crack open "Enter Magneto" and "Deadly Reunions."
