This is a big one kids! We dive into what is arguably one of the most important books in X-Men history. Today we are talking about Marvel Graphic Novel Number Five, God Loves, Man Kills. The imagery and storytelling in this book help redefine the future of the X-Men in a way that is still being felt today. This one has all kinds of trigger warnings, and adult content, so much like late night Cinemax, Listener discretion is advised....

Man, how about episode 100 y'all? Both of them! We dug deep into Wolverine's head, and don't remember a thing. Which is good because neither does he!

BUT! We are on to other things, namely More Uncanny goodness. First up is X-Men 161. Magneto and Professor X steal a time machine from Doc Brown and travel back in time to punch Nazis! Well, maybe this is just a flashback/retcon/ filler issue! But still Nazi punching is happening! How...

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
