FURTHER READING, WATCHING, & LISTENING:
- Jay won comics.
- Key and Peele’s “Sexy Vampires” sketch is delightful (but dubiously work-safe).
- We talked about X-Men whom we’d be interested in seeing retconned as trans in Episode 171 – Badly Punctuated Equilibrium.
Jay and miles. Ive been listening to your podcast for over a year and love it. Ive lived and breathed xmen since i was a child. Ocasionally i seek out new content in various mediums. Last week i found xmen the audio drama. Their last update was in 2015, just as they began aproaching the dark phoenix saga. It is probably the best adaptation of the source material ive ever seen. Have you heard of it? What do you think of it? And do you know what happened to it. The cliff they seem to have disappeared off of is maddening.
Reading ahead for next week:-
– Does Fabian Nicieza know what the term “dirty war” refers to? I don’t think he does.
– Since when is Black Tom Cassidy a terrorist?
The “dirty war” thing is particularly odd, given that he’s Argentine-American.
