Husbands Talking on X is for Show

In a startling turn of events, the supercharged .html — featuring fearless leader Joey — find a way to continue talking about the climactic final Fox X-Men film, Dark Phoenix, for longer than its runtime. The team continues to dissect all of the ways that the film not only missed the point of the source material but also gravely misused its cast, characters, and source material. The team continues to be impressed by the performances, but underwhelmed by the film, but they work together to create perspective on what might have went wrong when the film had so much potential.

This is it! Years of storytelling culminates now! Will the hero survive the devastation or... wait a minute... didn't we just do this? Join Nico, Kevo, and special guest Joey as they take a look at Dark Phoenix, the X-Men's final film and try to understand how the same people adapted the same story a second time in a way that was totally different, completely the same, and yet somehow equally unsatisfying.

It's only been four episodes, but -- somehow -- this Jean Grey/Phoenix project seems longer and longer by the day. When this project began, Nico and Kevo intended to understand the relationship between the source material behind the Phoenix Saga and its adaptations. One month later, everyone's beginning to lose hope. It would appear it is impossible to adapt the Phoenix Saga (or the dark Phoenix Saga) without adding an extraordinary amount of material. Join the guys as they look at the last few pieces of the Phoenix puzzle, retrace a few of their steps, and discuss the devastating early reviews for Dark Phoenix before Friday's reaction episode on an all-new phoenix.html!

In August 2015, we released our very first podcast and proceeded to tear through Nicolas Cage’s filmography at a breakneck pace. We had no idea that we'd continue after we finished Cage’s filmography, but we asked, “What’s next?” and went from there. After nearly four years, we are releasing our 1,000th episode.

In this episode, Joey Lewandowski talked many of your favorite CageClub Podcast Network hosts: Mike Manzi of Third Time’s A Charm, Joe Two of 2 Fast 2 Forever, Chris Podcasts of Now and Again, Brian Rodriguez of High School Slumber Party, Kyle Reinfried of Foodie Films, Jordan Polan-Clarke and Cara Gael O’Regan of Wistful Thinking, Aislinn Addington of The Contenders, Lindsay Gibb of Winona Forever, Jonah Rubino of X is for Podcast, and Nico Vasilo and Kevo Risse of .html.

The X-Men films continue to attempt to adapt the Phoenix saga, but also continue to get further away from it. Despite a strong start with X-Men: First Class (which has no Phoenix), the franchise struggles with the narrative by the second film (Days of Future Past), and ultimately loses the whole plot by the third (Apocalypse, the only film to include Jean this trilogy). Nico and Kevo work to find the elements of the Phoenix deeply buried throughout the film in an all new phoenix.html!

After a simplified and child-friendly -- but mostly accurate -- adaptation of the Phoenix storyline and Dark Phoenix Saga, Nico and Kevo turn their attention to a franchise that opted for a less... faithful adaptation and turn their analytical eyes to X-Men, X2: X-Men United, and X-Men: The Last Stand in an all-new phoenix.html!

Nico and Kevo have run out of Marvel Cinematic Universe films, but they haven’t run out of Marvel media! After a deep, four episode examination of the Dark Phoenix Saga and its apocrypha on X is for Podcast, the hubbies bring in Jonah, famed bf and X-Geek, for their first-ever guest star, first-ever animated project, and first-ever foray into the FoxVerse of Marvel! Mind your p’s and mcu’s, because an all-new .HTML miniseries event starts now!

Where do you go after the salvation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe? The destruction of the Fox Marvelverse! After an in-depth look at The Dark Phoenix Saga (Episodes 19-22) on X Is For Podcast — as well as the relevant material leading up to it — Nico brings the cosmic entity from one show to the next with phoenix.html, where he and Kevo will examine every adaptation of the Dark Phoenix Saga so far!

11 years boiled down to 3 hours. It took 21 films to get to this conclusion... and what a conclusion it was! Nico and Kevo aren't making you wait for the details, as they provide their VERY SPOILER-HEAVY immediate thoughts on Avengers: Endgame in all of its (mostly sort of but not at all) conclusive glory on an all new mcu.html!

It's finally here! Nico and Kevo celebrate the release of Avengers: Endgame with their final pre-whole-point-of-show-episode, where they take a RUN through the MCU, addressing each film in under 4 minutes, giving their hopes for Endgame, and prepare for the biggest movie event in history: Avengers: Infinity War Par... I mean, Avengers: Infinity Gau... Well, prepare for the unsnappening and Avengers: Endgame an all new HTML!
