From the Ashes of Instagram and the page xtropes comes a brand new podcast on, you guessed it, X-Men.
Join me as I approach 40 and attempt to understand technology and realise that maybe it's harder to speak about my thoughts than it is to type them.
Are you not sold???
In the saddest of news we lost a guest of the pod but most importantly a dear friend, John from the avenging hour. He will truly be an avenger forever.
To cope with the loss join Gary and I as we share our ‘mild distaste’ for the last three episodes of X-Men 97 season 2 plus everything else we get side tracked with on the way.
Major Spoilers for Spider- Man Brand New Day!

Talkin' (X) Tropes Special Episode 'X-Men: The Movie 2000'
It's a brand new side quest...
returning Saurid Sister G'Ree has agreed to join me on this insane task of reviewing every movie in the franchise starting with 'X-Men 2000'.
This one goes off the rails quickly and we struggled to remember entire scenes in the movie. Which is a real worry as there isn't even time travel in this one!
Spoiler alert this was recorded months ago so when we discuss 'current comics' they might not be so current.
