XYZ with Yike and Zak

Now for the conclusion of our Star Trek talk! This time, finishing up the TOS movies with our discussion on The Undiscovered Country and Generations.

We're back at it again, having another quarantine discussion about a long running film franchise and splitting into multiple parts! We're talkin' Trek. Mostly covering the even numbered entries, but we couldn't help but talk the odds as well.

Star Trek movies discussed in this episode: The Motion Picture, The Wrath of Khan, The Search for Spock, The Undiscovered Country, and Generations.

This is the way the X-Men movie franchise ends. This is the way the X-Men movie franchise ends. This is the way the X-Men movie franchise ends. Not with a bang, but with a whimper. In the wake of Avengers: Endgame, Fox released their last entry in the X-Men franchise, Dark PhoeniX to almost no fanfare. In this episode, we finally get around to talk Dark Phoenix and Logan, two movies that present different directions and different ends for the franchise, as we discuss our feelings on the franchise at large.

Part 2 of our ongoing series on the X-Men! Today's episode covers a whole half of the franchise out there: X-Men Origins: Wolverine, X-Men: First Class, The Wolverine, X-Men: Days of Future Past

Stuck in quarantine, we took it upon ourselves to invite the most literal X-factor possible on to the podcast: The X-Men! We watched all 10 movies in the franchise (Sorry, Deadpool, our podcast needs the structural integrity of a fourth wall!), and we will be discussing them over a 3 episode miniseries that was recorded all at once. We also discuss current events, and would like to continue to amplify the message that Black Lives Matter.

Today's episode: the original trilogy! X-Men, X2: X-Men United, and X-Men: The Last Stand.

The 'rona got you down? XYZ is here to talk Yike and Zak's favorite shows, games, and podcasts during this troubling time. Note, this episode was live streamed last Thursday, this is an audio-only repost.

Happy New Year everybody! Zak and Yike discuss all things Star Wars, starting with Episode 9: The Rise of Skywalker. Spoilers, neither of us love it. After getting our dislikes out of the way, we dive into the wider world of Star Wars and our individual experiences with the franchise, from X-Wing to the comics. We also talk some Succession and Kiernan Caulkin's Roman Roy.

In this episode of the XYZ podcast, Yike and Zak dive really deep into the Watchmen TV Series, covering the major plot points and themes. Spoiler warning ... do not listen to this if you're not caught up to the end of season 1. Also we tangent into the MCU because we're us.

In a world with masked vigilantes, Nixon as a 4 term president, and a blue dude who can bend space and time, Yike and Zak discuss the artistic merits of a giant alien squid. Join us as we discuss the Watchmen Movie, comic, and the early episodes of the new HBO TV show!

Join Yike and Zak as they talk about different depictions of the life and times of King Henry V of England. After a solid 20 minutes of discussing Martin Scorses's MCU comments, they dive into a compare and contrast of Hollow Crown Henry V and The King (2019 Netflix movie), as well as other productions of Shakespeare's Henry V. Join us in this epic conversation, for there will be trebuchets and there will be a douchey Dauphin who steals the show!
