    Episode Notes

    Guess who had to resist screeching the entire episode? Hint: it's the host who, for reasons unknown to himself, spends a shocking amount of this episode defending PAD X-Factor, a run he doesn't really like all that much. People are complicated... Ranked This Episode:

    • X-Force #31
    • Spider-Woman #37-38
    • X-Factor #237-239

    Ep.364 - Yeet A Baby

    Episode Notes

    So X-Men Unlimited, it's a thing we always talk about right? We all think of all the important X-Men Unlimited stories, yes? Well much like X-Men Unlimited, Zack forgot what Adam and him talked about immediately after recording stopped on this episode so he can't give like, good notes. Sorry!

    • X-Men Unlimited vol 1 #4 (This is the one where Mystique yeets a baby)
    • X-Men Unlimited vol 2 #7

    Ep.362 - The Reptile

    Episode Notes

    The guys get spicy. And by spicy we mean that Zack tries to explain ACOTAR to Adam even though he is only vaguely aware of it and Adam tries to stop us from getting the explicit tag. This episode is about Chris Bachalo, we promise.

    Ranked This Episode:

    • Uncanny X-Men Vol 3 #8-11 (Broken)
    • X-Men: Curse of the Mutants: Storm and Gambit
    • X-Men Unlimited #1
