Friends From Work: An Unofficial Marvel Podcast - Now Playing: X-Men

We have a jam packed episode for y'all today. First off, we need to discuss the heart-wrenching fifth episode of X-Men '97. But secondly, we got a chance to chat X-Men '97 with the voice actor for "Bishop" (and a bunch of other stuff), Isaac Robinson-Smith. You won't want to miss what he has to say about working on this show.  Special thanks to Organic Priced Books for being our official comic provider.  https://organicpricedbooks.com/?ref=friendsfromwork⁠ Use promo code: FRIENDSFROMWORK And Special thanks to NerdRiot.shop Use promo code: FRIENDSFROMWORK Learn more about your ad choices.

This is a sample of an episode that friends who subscribe to FFW+ receive. This episode is the kick-off to our X-Men "Foxverse" stuff. Here. We. Go. Starting today, our goal is to cover every single X-Men movie leading up to Deadpool's July release. And the journey begins with the classic film, X-Men. This was such a fun episode for us to record, and it's hopefully a glimpse into what expects to be a spectacularly fun journey though the Fox universe.  We hope you enjoy marching through these as much as we do. We'll hit X2 in two weeks and we encourage you to watch these films with us, at the same pace as us. Let's. Go. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
