Episode 13: Checking In

We cover the end of X-Men 97 season 2, the casting of Disney’s X-Men movie, and we debut Josh’s Zelda Corner!

We promise, this is still a book club…but, once again, we’re talking movies! Join us as we discuss the latest Marvel and MCU news, and of course, Spider-Man. Spoiler warning, obviously.Spider-Man: Brand New Day spoilers start around 22:00

We’re taking a break from the books and diving into the first 3 episodes of X-Men 97 season 2. So much happens in these episodes that we don’t even have a description to write…it’s all happening!!! (Jubilee!!)

Welp, we’re giving up on another one! Join us as we do EVERYTHING we can do to avoid talking about Uncanny X-Men 424. Instead, Nick runs through some news and rumors, and Josh talks about Zelda and retro gaming. We promise this is still an X-Men podcast.

We’ve left the bleak world of Age of Apocalypse behind to cover the…bleak world of Chuck Austen’s X-Men?!?! That can’t be right…either way, join us as we cover Uncanny X-Men 421 - 423 and let’s make the best of this bad, bad situation!

Listen, we may be victims of nostalgia, but we can’t do this anymore. In this episode, we throw in the towel on Age of Apocalypse. Frankly, it’s all a bit too close to home right now. But, before we move on, we take a look at Weapon X 1 & 2 and Amazing X-Men 1 & 2.

Nick plays Variety reporter and gives Josh a rundown of upcoming superhero movies. Josh promises you that A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is worth your time. And then eventually, they get around to covering X-Men: Age of Apocalypse. We check in on Nightcrawler and this world’s Avalon, and then, we go to space with Gambit and his ragtag team.Issues Covered:X-Calibre 1Gambit and the X-Ternals 1 & 2

We’re diving back into the Age of Apocalypse! In this episode we ponder on Magneto’s hair, meet a blood-thirsty Kitty, and we finally answer the age old question…is Chamber British!? (Yes, of course he is!)Issues CoveredAstonishing X-Men 1Generation Next 1X-Men Alpha 1

We’re back (kind of)! Thanks for sticking with us. It’s been a long couple of months, but we are ready to reopen the X-Club! In this episode, Nick and Josh catch up and talk about the Avengers/X-Men trailer, their favorite super hero media of 2025, and what to expect when we pick back up with the Age of Apocalypse!
