This week MVM takes a deep-dive into X-Men: Evolution from the year 2000! It was huge for Marvel, not only did the X-Men movie hit screens and change the game for superhero cinema, but a brand new X-Men animated series debuted on Kids' WB and transformed a whole generation of kids into X-Men fans! It was a show full of changes to Marvel’s mutants, from a goth version of Rogue, to Wolverine becoming a teacher, and the X-Men attending a regular high school! This series also introduced original X-Men characters like Storm’s nephew Spyke, and Wolverine’s clone X-23 aka Laura! We’ll take you behind the scenes on the making of X-Men Evolution, and what it took to become the successor to X-Men The Animated Series! We’ll dive into the creation, the network constrictions, the merchandise tie-ins and everything else! Then we’ll take you behind the page on the X-Men in the 90’s and the COLLAPSE of the greatest franchise in the history of American comic books! We’ll put the spotlight on a truly dire decade for the mutants, how it got so bad, and what it took to save the X-Men! Plus we’ll take a deep-dive into 4 episodes of X-Men Evolution, pull them apart scene-by-scene and bring you tons of Marvel history and trivia about Magneto, Nightcrawler, Havok, Spyke, and so much more!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
