Episode 18: X-Men 97: Season 1
<p>What, you were expecting black leather? Josie and Becca marathoned the first season of X-Men 97 to prep for July's launch of Season 2, and they had a wild ride, sugah! They're joined by Pop Heist's Brett White to discuss the ins and outs of the show, especially how it integrates Grant Morrison's writing to the world of the 90s. What happens when you remix storylines in new and weird ways? How can you discuss genocide and trauma in a show that aired on Disney Plus? How does Wolverine sound to the completely uninformed? And of course...we learn a bit about what Black Francis was singing about.

Episode 17: X-Men: Mad Avenue
<p>Chances are, you haven't heard of X-Men: Mad Avenue, but that changes today. Becca and Josie are pleased to welcome Riley Thomas to the podcast to talk about the X-Men musical he created! X-Men Mad Avenue is a new musical designed to be performed in schools, and Josie and Becca love talking about X-Men, theater, and schools, so this had to happen. Why does the X-Men work so well as a musical? What are the benefits of teaching the X-Men in schools? And what happens when you commit to race-blind and gender-blind casting in theater?
