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.)

Shawarma vs Falafel vs Vaccines – A Review of James Gunn's Superman pt.2 – Tangential Giants Podcast

The Tangential Giants are back with Part 2 of their deep dive into James Gunn’s Superman, and this round Kareem, Ken, and Pat have dragged Tim into the fray. He claims he’s here for analysis, but really he’s here for moral support and to witness whatever this movie is doing in its first twenty minutes.The crew breaks down everything from the Lois and Clark argument that feels ripped straight from a couples therapy session to Superman throwing hands with a kaiju before breakfast. They also unpack the emotional rollercoaster of watching Clark repair a Kryptonian VHS love letter from his parents, because apparently Krypton had Blockbuster.Naturally, the tangents spiral.The team debates which Mediterranean dish officially separates MCU fans from DCU loyalists. They explore the hazards of rookie superheroism and why some heroes should probably start with a learner’s permit. Then they wander into a surprisingly scientific discussion about Big Dick Energy and how it occasionally overrides attractiveness, logic, and the known laws of the universe.If you enjoy chaotic analysis, passionate nonsense, and four grown adults arguing about whether Superman should own a Blu‑ray player, this episode is your new comfort food. Grab your gyro or shawarma depending on your cinematic allegiance, and settle in for another heroic descent into tangents.#tangentialgiants #superman #jamesgunn #dcuniverse #dcuniverse #supermanmovie #dccomics #comicbookmovies #nerdpodcast #SuperheroTalk #moviebreakdown #loisandclark #kaijufights #krypton #podcastepisode #geekculture #popculturepodcast #dcfans #SupermanAnalysis #moviediscussions
