Ryan and Maddy recorded this episode late at night, and unfortunately for them, X-Men: The Animated Series doled out a serious political episode with a grim Friends of Humanity subplot. Your two favorite insomniacs do their best to analyze the show's deep dive into Hank McCoy, a.k.a. Beast, and his turbulent emotions with regard to a new but all-too-fleeting romance. This episode is a metaphor for racism, probably? And some other stuff.

By the way, we get to check in on Magneto and Xavier this week. They're still stuck in the Savage Land. We all know what they're doing to kill the time: making out on the beach!

X-Men Spotlight: BEAST! From his early days as a werewolf-inspired sex symbol, to his present-day time travel drama.
