Join Bret and Matt as they go episode-by-episode through the animated revival series X-Men '97, explore their histories with the X-Men franchise in its various incarnations, and approach it all with an irreverent sense of humor. Original music provided by Cheer Captain (https://cheercaptain.bandcamp.com/)!
The Manchildren of the Atom discuss the latter half of the two-parter set in Ancient Egypt and spend a lot of time venting frustrations about an OK episode that could've been a great one! Of course mixed in is chat about what they've been reading, dumb jokes, and never, EVER politics (not even once ever). Theme by Cheer Captain (https://cheercaptain.bandcamp.com/)!

S2E3 - Rise of Apocalypse: Part 1
Matt and Bret are whisked away to the distant past to check on what's going on with Xavier, Magneto, Rogue, Beast, Nightcrawler, and En Sabah Nur! But not before they reminisce about a much nearer past, the Claremont Era of the X-Men comics! And there's always time for a laugh or two regardless of the timelines!

S2E2 - A Force to Be Reckoned With
Let's make a pit stop in the 90's in between far flung eras and hang out with X-Force and X-Factor! Actually, let's not hang out with X-Factor, they're "just following orders" types in this adaptation! Matt and Bret talk about Jubilee getting a chance to shine, Havok getting a chance to be useless, and our... heroes? committing murder on a beach with zero privacy!
