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....

    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.
