April 09, 2024 3 Body Talk
This episode, your pod pals Keith, Aaron and Tim talk about Netflix's the Three Body Problem, how the Game of Thrones guys love killing everyone you love, and how weird it is when supermodels are cast as cops and EMTs.

March 22, 2024 X-Men 97 Can Save Us All
In this episode we talk about our love of the brilliant X-Men 97, dream re-cast the 2000 X-Men movie, and pitch the greatest comic-book story that will never, ever be made.

Come to me, my X-Men (fans).

P.S. Tim was wrong about X-Men #168 being the first issue he ever bought. It was #185.
