The Incomparable

199 X-Men ‘97 (ep 1-3)

To me my forty-ish year old fans of laser beams, sexed up cartoons, and remarkably timeless social commentary cartoons! In this episode we cover the first three installments of the new X-Men cartoon that was a big hit in the 90s.

198 X-Men 3: The Last Stand

If you love the X-Men do we ever have a movie for you. So long as you only love Wolverine. This movie starts off with a bang in the holodeck and then quickly gets to work killing a bunch of our heroes either literally or just by erasing their personalities. Sometimes even both! Read along with us as we cover the last (?) of the X-Men movies.

197 X-Men 2: X-Men United

It’s a Giant Size X-Men epsiode this time! Hold on to your thinly veiled metaphores as we revisit the X-Mansion and meet our X-Pals and a few new friends too.

196 X-Men (2000)

Before the superhero ball got rolling the mutants were there to give it a push. This week we visit the X-Men in the original movie from the year 2000. It’s not perfect. There are plenty of flaws. But, wow, what a movie. It may not be so much of a template as Iron Man (or The Incredible Hulk) but it is inarguably in the vanguard of what would become the dominant blockbuster movie events since it was released.

195 Echo

We’re off to Oklahoma to catch up with a stand out character from the Hawkeye show — Maya Lopez A.K.A. Echo. Taking refuge from the Fisk organization after having shot Kingpin in the face we find Maya returning to her roots, those she left behind after a tragic childhood accident, and coming to terms with her heritage and who she is.

194 What If? Season 2 Episodes 5-9

We’re back to close out our coverage of the second season of What If. There’s some real highpoints in this back half of the season and a whole lot of fun to be had. So strap in to your Hydra-Stomper and prepare yourself to visit strange new worlds.

193 What If? Season 2 Episodes 1-4

Imagine, if you can, a reality where Biff Conklin won! You can’t because that’s an Elseworld. If you’d like to tune in for a bit of holiday cheer as we discuss the first four episodes of What If? season 2 then we’ve got you covered. Like the dark fog of a besieged Xandar lit up by justice. The love of an adoptive family. The persistence of the pernicious to become purple, powerful, and petty is perfect. And, as always, Jeff Goldblum finds a way.

192 Blue Beetle

Get in the Tacoma, Biffs, ‘cause we’re going to Miami—er, Palmera! This week we’re covering the last DCEU movie (or maybe the first DCU movie?) and are left a little befuddled and bemused.

191 The Marvels

Do you like fun? If you’re a fan of fun you’ll find some fanstatic photonic frequency flipping fun in this film. Find yourself entangled in our discussion of The Marvels: their familial, friendly, and firmly political relationships. (Featuring a flirty bonus round!)

We’re off to outer space with a song and a dance as we cover The Marvels.

190 Loki S2E6 - Glorious Purpose

Loki season two wraps up and it is a real humdinger of an episode. It is our glorious purpose to relieve you of your burden of indecision and finally bring you our thoughts on what we’re quite sure you already knew in your heart-our rating system isn’t always up to snuff.
