In our Fourth Annual Halloween episode, we take a look at the x-tra spooky (or, "spoopy," if you well) 2009-2010 crossover event, "Necrosha X." The ancient energy-vampire mutant, and Black Queen of the Hellfire Club, Selene, is on a quest to achieve godhood. To do so, she must resurrect a number of deceased x-characters, creating the x-universe's version of a full-scale zombie invasion. Coming in the midst of a redefining era for the X-books, does this particular story hold up?
Plus, in a special Halloween edition of "Mutant Match-Up," we pit various x-characters against each other to determine who would give out the best candy, who would be the most likely to TP a house, who would be the least effort into their costume, and who would wear the craziest costume. Also, some general Halloween discussion, as we discuss favorite candies, cider mill trips, trick-or-treating rules, and Halloween viewing recommendations. And, for some reason...pro wrestling? So turn out the lights, light up your jack-o-lantern, and give this one a listen.

On this episode, we shine a spotlight on a character that has left a surprisingly long-shadow on the X-Men universe, despite not a lot of actual appearances in the comics themselves - Senator Robert Kelly, the mutant-hating politician turned surprising ally. What is it about this character that has left him as remembered as he is? And, in these politically charged (and often dismaying) times, can Kelly's story arc offer any hope for our future?
Plus, staying in the realm of politics, we also share our thoughts on which X-Men would make the best Supreme Court justices, U.N. Ambassadors, Secretary of Defense, and other real life positions (because these fictional mutants would almost certainly do a better job than what we actually have now). Also, some discussion of the potential possibility of an actual new Deadpool Christmas movie this December, and in another installment of "Mutant Match-Up," a Starjamming X-parent goes one-on-one with a lightning-fearing Brotherhood member in a game of bowling. Plus, thoughts on James Gunn directing a new SUICIDE SQUAD movie, comedy sequels, and Tenacious D.

Our very first official look at the upcoming DARK PHOENIX is finally here, with last week's release of the trailer. You know we have thoughts on it - does it look like a step up from APOCALYPSE? What does the footage suggest about the story? How does the knowledge that it may very well be the final Fox X-MEN film play into the experience of watching and speculating on the trailer? We discuss all this, and more.
But wait - lest you think the arrival of a trailer (complete with a then supposedly final release date) means there's finally some long desired stability in the Fox X-Universe, ha, Fox is here to remind you that they're always gonna Fox it up. And so we also take a look at yet MORE release date shuffles for DARK PHOENIX and (the allegedly still happening) GAMBIT, as well as the unexpected news of a theatrical release for a brand new PG-13 version of DEADPOOL 2.
Finally, we review the SEASON TWO premiere of FOX's THE GIFTED. After last season really found its stride in its final episodes, does this new season look like it will continue the momentum? How did we feel about this episode, and are we intrigued by the direction this year appears to be heading in?
All this, and more - including a lot of Kenan Thompson love - so listen on and enjoy!
