Sorry about no episode this week, but in lieu of our normal X-Men rantings, we thought we'd give you a little taste of what we have goin' on over in the Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/MutantMenace For as low as $1/month, you can get these short little nuggets of comedy... there are 6 so far and more to come (when we remember to do them). Plus, Outtakes (even more occasionally) AND our undying appreciation. Thanks for listening and being cool! https://www.patreon.com/MutantMenace

  Episode 77 - Uncanny X-Men #206-210

  Sep 17, 20262h 47mS1

  Holy cow. These are some wild issues folks. Claremont is back to form, firing on all cylinders and peppering us full of GOOD STORY. If only we weren't a LANTERNS podcast now, we could cover the end of Rachel Summers, Phoenix, as well as the prelude to the Mutant Massacre... Oh well, guess you'll just have to get really into LANTERNS now. Topics Mentioned: Hive Mind Gang. A fucked-up, twisted Warriors. Everyone has a perm. Jessica Drew's Full House House. Brawn over Brains. Who is this redheaded woman? Abandoning a Nightcrawler sub-plot. Ow! First Step: Break a Mirror. Rosencrantz the Magnonamous. A scary Wolverine. Rachel's Shirley Jackson Villain Arc. Pants... Off. Godzilla Rules. FRIEDRICH VON ROEHM IS BACK. Can't a man just give a woman orange juice anymore? SNIKT. "Wolverine is a PRICK!" Selene is EVIL. The Lords Cardinal. A scarier (but less consequential) Dark Phoenix. Caliban wear shirt! Harry Leland's super-hero costume. Describing Nimrod for a VERY long time. Shifting from LOVE MODE to COMBAT MODE. A juicy robot butt (again). FRIEDRICH VON ROEHM IS GONE. Nightcrawler is vaporized. Are the Hellfire Club SUPPOSED to be incompetent? Put the Tommy Gun in my hand! What's the deal with rush hour? Kitty restrains herself for once. Wolverine's moral code. "THE Bulk."
