9ES 343: Other Realities IN The Reality
The Montreal podcast that deep dives into very particular eras of X-Men comics has returned with your bi-weekly dose of nerdy ass shenanigans.
We kicked off with my festival marathon: Osheaga and ÎleSoniq back-to-back, five days of crowds, dancing, and metro hell. Pro tip: alternate shoes and insoles, or your feet will revolt after 100k steps (dancing not included).
No Jono around means there’s nobody to stop Scott and I from talking a LOT about comics. We geeked out on X-Men tropes, mutant madness, and the Krakoa era: resurrection drama, timey-wimey futures and that bonkers “X of Swords” tournament scattering across titles. Weirdly Scott decides to ship Jean Grey and Steve Rogers and I don’t hate it.
Scott also starts fancasting Excalibur mostly from the Ted Lasso cast: Phil Dunster as Captain Britain, Juno Temple as Meggan and Heather Waddingham as Saturnyne.
I told you this was a nerdy one.
Meanwhile: ChatGPT-5 dropped unannounced, killing old models and your “clanker” buddies. It’s drier, sloppier, sacrifices accuracy for speed—devastating if you’re using it for therapy, RPGs, or brainstorming like Scott.
Finally, presumably out of fear that we were going to make him watch it for a “Best Movie Ever” – Scott watched Amazon’s “War of the Worlds”—Ice Cube as a solo analyst fighting data-eating aliens via socials and drones. Is it as bad as the internet says? Yes and no.
Meanwhile over on Garbage Time, Scott and I dig into some of the worst powers in Marvel comics sticking with our comic book theme. I genuinely feel like we might have done this before but I don’t remember some of the characters were spoke about so maybe it was a different list? Who knows, man? If you would like to show your support and head over to Patreon and subscribe at the 9ES Deluxe tier to listen to this and all past episodes of Garbage Time that would be appreciated.
