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.
