Customer Reviews
Hilarious X-Men Show
I love the bits and the tangents. I love this podcast. Pro-tip: listen at .75x speed and they sound drunk and its even funnier.
Great concept! Great show!!
Was looking for an X-men podcast and found these incredible two guys who are undertaking the daunting task of ranking all of the X-men stories!! I’m joining the fun way late but have started from the beginning to see where all of the stories end up and have found myself making a list of my own of stuff I’ve never even read and I’m a lifelong X-men fan of 30 years!!
My favorite podcast
Excellent podcast in which two hosts (Zack and Adam) read and rate three X-Men stories each week. The hosts have a great dynamic with each other, having an entertaining approach. I’ve been a longtime X-Men fan but this has opened up many new stories to explore. Highly recommend.
