All Night Long - Almost an X-Man Ep. 53

It has been a looong, strange trip. Matt and RJ take a look at one last Dazzler story, Behind the Music style! Plus: Pooh Bear-ing it up. Michael Teddy Jackson Lindgard. And whose story is next?  Intro and outro music by J. Cayo

Back from a little break, the boys dive into the second to last Dazzler encore featuring some familiar and not so familiar faces. Alison and other X-Men have returned from the Siege Perilous with little to no recollection of their past. In Southern California, Dazzler gets mixed up in a dangerous game of cat and mouse.  Plus: Banshee and Forge play Drake and Sully. Creepy rooms with high ceilings. And more drugs!

In encore number three, Dazzler heads to Florida in search of a friend from her past and finds herself wrapped up in a deadly manhunt. Fortunately, she has experienced backup. We wind up with a remarkably enjoyable, standalone story. Plus: Happy Fourth of July! Happy Canada Day! And beware the Florida Man. Intro and outro music by J. Cayo

Encore number two is a story that is the equivalent of a sub-three minute song, so the boys blend it with encore number three for a medley of frivolity. Alison rides an elevator. Then, Dazzler and Rogue hit the club. Remember how Rogue used to torment Alison? Plus: Hellfire Club dress code. Alfred Hitchcock. And the kiss of death.  Intro and outro music by J. Cayo

It’s only appropriate that we get a couple encore Alison stories in true Dazzler fashion. In this feature, Alison is up all night long with a little help from some friends. Plus: How do you add extra verses to Stayin’ Alive? Remember skitching? And one more cup of coffee.  Intro and outro music by J. Cayo

It’s the Dazzler series finale! But every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end. The spirit of the ‘90’s is alive, can the same be said for Dazzler? Plus: The sound of Silence. An old flame of Alison’s returns. And Jonny Quest.  Intro and outro music by J. Cayo

Damn. Well, this issue certainly takes a ******* turn. In the penultimate issue of Dazzler’s debut solo series, we say farewell to a character we’ve known since the beginning. Actually, we don’t even get to say goodbye before they’re taken. Damn.  Plus: Horses on the freeway.  Some schmuck named Jared. And surgical shotgun strikes.  Intro and outro music by J. Cayo

A VERY SPECIAL 50th EPISODE!!! We've got explosions! We've got motorcycles! We've got beer! But we've also got The Beyonder... Again. Boo. Plus: No Anya Taylor-Joy. No Chris Hemsworth. BUT WE GOT 50 EPISODES! Intro and outro music by J. Cayo

Why?  It’s the question the boys ask themselves many times while reading Secret Wars II, issue 4. I mean, they’ll do anything to get away from this issue; talk about a Fantastic Four movie, James Bond movies, a Northstar videogame, have a serious discussion about the perils of absolute power and stunted development... Plus: Matt’s MARVEL CliffsNotes. R.J. uses Casino Royale lines on women. And nothing matters. Intro and outro music by J. Cayo

Dazzler is taking her show on the road but while she does, a couple forces are conspiring against her. Scientist Rowden Piper has an axe to grind with Alison Blaire, seeking to restore his daughter’s senses by destroying the Dazzler.  At the same time, bounty hunter O.Z. Chase is closing in on his target, also Dazzler, who has a government bounty on her head apparently.  Plus: San Diego is for ruffians. R.J. goes off the improvised rails. And Matt’s nightmare issue approaches. Intro and outro music by J. Cayo
