In classic #wiwt90s fashion, we are super late to the #XMen97 party. So while every youtuber and podcaster has analysed the last three episodes to death already, join Sam, Sean and Sleepy Pat for our jaded take on the conclusion. Spoiler: it's better the original series. Not much else to say, because we can't remember the episodes or what we talked about.

Sean and Sam reunite with Pat to discuss the next three episodes of #XMen97 and what a three episodes they are. Unanimous love for ep 5 and 7 with Sam's usual dislike for #XMeninspace shining through in #Lifedeath Part 2 (Plus nobody wants #ProfessorX back on the team). The lads discuss the stakes, the tragedy, predictions and cameos. Is XMen97 better than #XMenTAS? Three episodes to find out.

Sam and Simon relive their childhoods by taking a trip down memory lane to discuss Freaks and Geeks with friend of the podcast, Cam Paulik. They rewatched the 1999 classic and have thoughts on most of the star studded cast. Did they watch on dubbed VHS tapes or did they borrow bubble wrapped DVDs for this rewatch? Neither, all episodes available on TVNZ+ for those New Zealand listeners.

Pat takes a well-earned break leaving Sean and Sam to discuss episodes 3 & 4 of #XMen97. The main topic of conversation is the breakneck speed at which the show is churning through storylines and whether or not we can keep up. Questions are asked about a potential downturn in quality and always, a #Mojo and #Jubilee themed episode will do nothing for our crew. However, comparisons were made to Mojo's weight loss of Jonah Hill a...

Welcome back, dear listeners! Pat, Sam and Sean bring in the New Year with a look into the 1995 RomCom Clueless. Cher was Alicia Silverstone's breakout role, did she get a spot in the character draft or was she usurped by her computer that picks her outfits?

Sean attempts to paraphrase IMDb's movie synopses for Simon, Sam and regular guest-star Marty T to have a crack and guessing the 90s film. Play along and keep your score. The team does surprisingly well - either Sean's too kind, or we have become the masters of our art.
