S4 EP11: See something, say something – A Review of the X-Men ’97 Animated Series pt.4

The guys (Kareem, Ken, and Pat) continue their review of the return of the X-Men animated series, X-Men ’97. Tangents include non-toxic responses, explaining psychic attacks, over-hiring for the Apocalypse, and more.

Show Notes

Welcome, fellow mutants and mutant-curious listeners! Grab your spandex, adjust your adamantium claws, and let’s dive into the latest episode of X-Men ’97. We’re serving up drama hotter than Magneto’s helmet in a sauna.

Title: “Remember It”
Plot Summary:

The X-Men are still reeling from the Madelyne Pryor incident. Turns out, evil clones can really mess up your brunch plans.

Cyclops and Jean’s marriage? It’s like a mutant soap opera. Imagine Dr. Phil counseling them: “So, Scott, how does it feel to be married to a telepathic phoenix who occasionally turns into an evil clone?”
Wolverine, our brooding hero, joins the love triangle. Jean and Logan share a kiss, and Logan’s expression says, “I’ve survived wars, but this? This is my true battle.”
Rogue faces the ultimate dilemma: Magneto or Gambit? It’s like choosing between a metal-bending bad boy and a Cajun charmer. Spoiler alert: She picks both and invents a new dance move called the “Magnetic Shuffle.”

Highlights and Low Blows:

Magneto’s Dance Moves: In a surprise twist, Magneto reveals his secret passion for ’90s dance crazes. His hand dance with Rogue during the climactic ball scene? Iconic. Mutants and rhythm—what a combo!
Rogue’s Inner Monologue: “Should I date the guy who can control metal or the one who can light up a room with his accent? Decisions, decisions.” Rogue, girl, we feel you.

Verdict:

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 mutant mimosa glasses.

Why?: The episode delivers heart, humor, and more twists than Mystique at a yoga class. Plus, the ’90s soundtrack? Nailed it. (Ace of Base, we see you.)

EP.120 – Jimmy Olsen's Manosphere Problem – A Review of James Gunn's Superman pt.4 – Tangential Giants Podcast

The Tangential Giants return to finally wrap up their review of James Gunn’s Superman, and somehow, the last stretch of the movie gives them even more chaos to chew on. Kareem, Ken, Pat, and guest Tim dive straight into Jimmy Olsen’s full-blown Manosphere spiral, because apparently, even in the DCU, no one is safe from a podcast algorithm gone rogue.From there, the crew takes a hard look at the new Kents, who are depicted as so financially underwater that even Smallville’s cows are probably judging them. Then comes Lex Luthor’s army of Musk-like minions, a collection of tech bros who look like they’d unionize only to demand more stock options in exchange for less dignity.And of course, the episode wouldn’t be complete without discussing this new foul-mouthed Supergirl, who arrives like a cosmic warning label and immediately starts cussing out anyone within a five-mile radius. The Giants try to make sense of it all, but naturally end up wandering into philosophical detours, comic book lore debates, and at least one argument about whether Jimmy Olsen needs therapy or a firmware update.If you enjoy superhero analysis mixed with unhinged tangents, this is the perfect finale to the Superman review saga.#tangentialgiants #superman #jamesgunn #supergirl #jimmyolsen #LexLuthor #dcu #dcuniverse #supermanmovie #comicbookmovies #nerdpodcast #popculturepodcast #dccomics #moviediscussions #superherotalk #podcastlife #dcfans
