Episode 3: “Fire Made Flesh”

Jean’s Telepathic Headache: Jean Grey dives into her own mind, but it’s like navigating rush hour traffic in a psychic freeway. Fragments, memories, and a dash of existential crisis—welcome to Jean’s mental gridlock.
Beast’s DNA Detective Work: Beast whips out his mutant CSI kit and concludes that the Jean who’s been hanging with the X-Men is a clone. Jean’s reaction? She’s angrier than Magneto at a metal detector convention.
Goblin Queen Unleashed: The clone gets a makeover and a new name: Goblin Queen. Sinister’s behind it all, and he’s got a thing for baby Nathan. But hey, at least we know where the Goblin Queen shops—Villain Chic Boutique.
Team Hellfire: The X-Men descend into a demonic hellscape. Monsters, memories, and a giant sentinel—just another day at the office. Jean saves the day, but the Goblin Queen snatches Nathan and heads to Sinister’s lab. Cue dramatic music.

Episode 4: “Mojo’s Punk Rock Offer”

Punk Rock Mojo: Mojo struts in, offering Jubilee a chance to relive her best memories forever. Because nothing says “nostalgia” like neon hair, mosh pits, and questionable fashion choices.
Criminals vs. Punk Savior: A punk vigilante takes down some thugs. Mojo’s like, “Join my reality TV show!” Jubilee’s like, “Sure, as long as I get a backstage pass to the ’90s.”
Roberto’s Mom from Hell: Roberto and Jubilee’s horror movie night turns real. His mom’s face pops out of the TV, calling him a monster. Parental guilt level: 1000.
Mind-Bending Mojo: Mojo’s mojo messes with minds. The X-Men become demonic versions of themselves. Magneto’s window trick? Foiled. Cyclops apologizes mid-battle. Awkward.
Sinister Showdown: The Goblin Queen awaits, and Morph’s GPS points to Sinister’s lab. Can the X-Men stop the cloning chaos? Tune in next time for more mutant madness!

Remember, listeners, when life throws clones, demons, and punk rock memories your way, just channel your inner Wolverine and say, “Bub, let’s podcast!” 🤘🔥

EP.119 – Don't Trust Billionaires – A Review of James Gunn's Superman pt.3 – Tangential Giants Podcast

The Tangential Giants return for their third strike at reviewing the three-quarter mark of James Gunn’s Superman, and somehow, the chaos only gets more refined with age. Kareem, Ken, Pat, and guest Tim settle in to talk about the movie, but as always, tangents emerge like uninvited cousins who still somehow run the show.This time, the crew dives into how the fictional citizens of Metropolis and the very real citizens of the United States share a troubling weakness for any rich guy with a shiny suit and a PR team. From there, they spiral into a celebration of Guy Gardner’s comedic menace as Green Lantern, because apparently the universe needed a man who is equal parts hero and walking HR violation.Naturally, the group also questions the logistics of a pocket universe prison. Is it science, magic, or just James Gunn saying, " Trust me and hoping no one asks follow-up questions? The Giants ask them anyway. And that is only scratching the surface of the detours they take while trying to talk about Superman’s journey.If you enjoy passionate nonsense, comic book philosophy, and four grown adults trying to make sense of a movie that refuses to stay on the rails, this episode is your comfort food. Settle in and enjoy another round of heroic chaos.#tangentialgiants #superman #jamesgunn #dcu #dcuniverse #supermanmovie #dccomics #comicbookmovies #nerdpodcast #superherotalk #moviebreakdown #GuyGardner #greenlantern #metropolis #PocketUniverse #popculturepodcast #dcfans #supermananalysis #moviediscussions
