X Is For Comics: An X-Men Podcast

Once upon a time, Marvel believed in the potential of a UK take on the brave, bold Captain America. Two and a half years later, Captain Britain has gone from the star of his own solo weekly mag to co-starring... to backup starring... and now playing the sidekick to a backup feature that doesn't even make the cover of the reprint mag it's in. Join Nico and Kevo as they take a look at Brian Braddock's dark years as second fiddle to the Black Knight in The Otherworld Quest on an all-new X is for Podcast! Read along with Hulk UK 1 and 3-30, available in the US via Captain Britain Vol. 2: Siege of Camelot.

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.
