    Episode Notes
    Look, we are just as tired of this as you are but we want that sweet, sweet SEO boost so we got to try and capitalize on what looks to be the most insufferable film of the summer. You ever think about how jaded Adam & Zack have gotten over the years? How they no longer find joy in seeing their favorite blorbos on the big screen? What does that say about our society? What does it say about our future?

    The Krakoan Gardener with Jordan D White

    The Krakoan Gardener with Jordan D White

    Episode Notes
    Outgoing X-Line editor and one of the friendliest friends of the pod Jordan D White talks about the First Krakoan Era and also a bunch of stuff that we wanted to talk about that is going to make the segment who wants us to ask any questions about "continuity" or "original plans" or "dropped plot points" or things that aren't extended Weezer bits very mad. Anyway it's a good episode and also our #350, which is almost enough that you could listen to one a day for a whole year if you hated yourself.

X-Men from A to Z

I’ve been listening to these guys since the late 30s episodes. First podcast I’ve listened to every week and for this long and last year I decided to become a patron supporter too. It’s introduced me to X-Men stories I’ve never heard of and given me new perspectives on ones I have read. Would highly recommend if you new or not to X-Men.

Really great in for newish readers

I am just starting to get into x-men (been spending all my money on TPBs lately) and this show is a really great fun way to 1) plan where I want to go next and 2) learn how fun and diverse x-men is and has been. Gets me really excited about what I’m going to come across as I get into the books.
