X-Boyz (An X-Men The Animated Series Podcast)

Gather round, children. It's story time this week on X-Boyz. Jubilee's trapped in a cave with some young students and decides to cook up a fantasy tale where she's the main hero for a change. Wolverine's a Troll-verine, Xavier's still problematic, and Gambit's voice sounds real dumb. It's wacky. It's goofy. And we've got special guest Keith Tripler here to help us break it all down. Some might say Jubilee isn't ready to carry her own episode. But we think our young lady has always been ready for all the adventures to have in this world.

Qué tal? Do you needa fajita? Because The Boyz are here to serve up a piping hot dish. This week they're covering Season 5 Episode 5 The Fifth Horseman (That's a lot of fives!). Beast starts a side hustle as an archaeologist who uncovers a plot to revive Apocalypse. Fabian Cortez makes his obnoxiously loud return. And when the episode is as rough as Jubilee's Spanish, The Boyz are gonna need all the help they can get. With the help of special guest Hunter Delaney, join the party as they cover X-Men and much much much much much much much more. 

Fifth Horseman Recap starts @32:52

The History of Hardcore (Graphic Novel)

Do you like your lettuce hot? Did you know the ground beef from Taco Bell is served out of a meat hose? Do you support A-list actors kissing in movies? The Boyz (and Girlz) are here to discuss a whole lot (and a little about X-Men too). Join as they cover Storm Front parts 1 and 2 featuring an intergalactic Hunk who arrives on earth begging Storm to save his home world and marry him while she's at it. Storm falls for the wrong guy and Wolverine ain't having it. And neither is our special guest Ali, who knows a little something about marrying a hunk herself.

IT'S SEASON FIVE! THE BOYZ ARE ALIVE! And they've got a whole lot of mutant mania to cover. Join Henry, Andrew, and John as they give their long-awaited Deadpool & Wolverine reactions before covering the fantastic two-part season five opener: The Phalanx Covenant. When the earth is on the verge of extinction from a techno organic alien entity that seeks to assimilate all mutants and humans alike, there's only one X-Man that can save us: our beloved Beast. And he's got a new best friend named Warlock to lend a hand (and a leg). New mutants! New menu items at Taco Bell! New X-Boyz!

It's the Season 4 (crunch)wrap-up and The Boyz are serving it to you Dumb Ass Style. That's right - we discuss Chipotle, Snowpiercer, WNBA and occasionally season 4 of X-Men the Animated Series. Thanks for hanging with us X-Fam. SEASON 5 COMIN' UP.

The Boyz wrap up the biggest, boldest season of XMTAS with Beyond Good and Evil pts. 3 and 4. You know who else is big and bold? Cable's son Tyler. There's wall-to-wall action, betrayals-on-betrayals and villain/hero team-ups where you'd least expect them. Beast punches a horse. Bishop and Cable shoot their guns a lot. And story producer Eric Lewald beats himself up for not getting to write the episode he planned for. (Stick around to hear what the ending would've looked like if this had been the finale of the series.) 

Join the (nasty) Boyz as they take you for a ride through parts 1 and 2 of Beyond Good and Evil, the Season 4 finale that was nearly the series finale. These suckers are action-packed popcorn thrillers with all our favorite villains coming out to play. And there's time travel so you know Bishop and Cable are tagging in. Not to mention fan-favorite Psylocke makes her long-awaited debut. This Apocalypse arc is certain to be a primer for X-Men '97 season 2, so you don't want to miss it. And come on back next week for parts 3 and 4 as we (finally) wrap up the biggest season of XMTAS yet. 

It's a very merry Morlock Christmas and the boyz are here to sing carols, open presents (at gunpoint), and spice up your bland hams. Wolverine's a scrooge. Ape's a table. Jubilee's an emotional wreck. And at long last Storm has to answer for her failure to serve as leader of our favorite sewer-dwelling mutants. So settle in with some warm cookies and a nice glass of orange juice. You might just discover the true meaning of Christmas: that ho ho home is wherever your family is. Stay tuned for a special near-death experience story at the end of the pod.

If you thought that '97 didn't feature enough of our beloved Logan, then do we have a treat for you. Two back-to-back Wolvy episodes (recorded before X-Men '97 started) with brand new lovers and old flames. And a professor far more diabolical than Xavier. Most importantly, we'll at long last get to the bottom of the "Sabretruth" debate. And in an X-Boyz first, we're calling out an error in the order of episodes. If you're watching along, the correct chronological order is Weapon X before Lotus & Steel. Trust us. We're professionals. So pack your bags. We're going to Japan.

Oh, you thought the show was over? Well, technically it is. For now. But the X-party rages on in our hearts and telepathic minds. So the Boyz (and a very special LADY guest) got together one more time to discuss the entirety of a season that, against-all-odds, exceeded our expectations. From the soapy romances to the most action-packed fights, we're covering it all. And stick around for our final X-Men Power Rankings to see who reigns (crunch-wrap) supreme going into Season 2.
