X-men: The Animated Series reXamined
UK-based standup comedian Javier Jarquin is a deep-dive Marvel guy. He has created multiple live shows based on the MCU, and has an encyclopedic knowledge of plots, characters, and trivia. NZ- based comedian and playwright Dan Bain remembers that this show was cool when he was a kid, and once saw an Iron Man movie on an international flight. Join them both as they rewatch and rediscover one of the greatest animated shows of the 1990s.
