X-Boyz (An X-Men The Animated Series Podcast)

Join the Boyz as they cap off the ferocious finale of X-Men '97 Season 1. Did they manage to stick the Blackbird landing? Or was it as rocky as a flaming Asteroid M? Either way it's a miracle of a show that rose from the ashes of the past like a Pheen dream. And we can't wait for more. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/xboyzpod/support

Oh me, oh my! You've seen X-Men survive strange evil islands. You've seen them go to war in space. But what if they did both at the same time?! The boyz are serving up a double dose of our heroes' greatest villains with jaw-dropping battles that'll really rattle your bones. The fate of the world hangs in the balance. So listen up or you'll make Morph angry. And you wouldn't like Morph when they're angry... --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/xboyzpod/support

Oh my stars and garters! We've seen the X-Men face off against their fair share of humans and sentinels; but what happens when they take on both at once? Big bad boy Bastion has weaponized humanity and there's only one mutant who can disarm these super-charged fiends -- unfortunately, he's tied up at the moment. Join the Boyz as they take an action-packed family trip with the Summers gang. Destination? The Danger Zone. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/xboyzpod/support

ROGUE'S GONE ROGUE. And she's thirsty for revenge in the wake of her beloved Gambit's demise. Others are still picking up the pieces in the aftermath of the Genoshan massacre. And the Boyz? Well we're here to wipe your tears and provide answers to burning hot questions like -- who exactly is this Bastion guy who's even more sininster-er than Sinister? Why do prisons suck at holding villains in this show? Did we need MCU cameos? Will Roberto finally get out of last place in the power rankings? This and more. Here and now.

Class is in session. Face your inner demons and join the Boyz as they do what they do best and make fun of Xavier for using obnoxious words like "jingoism" while bragging about how many books he's read. What? He's alive again! That means it's fair game to poke a little fun at the pompous Professor. It's a spelunking good time that'll make your head spin like an evil owl. Is this episode as good as "Remember It?" Absolutely not. Nothing is. But we're still gonna have fun together. Because coexisting is important and intolerance is for the birds. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/xboyzpod/support

Take a trip back to Genosha, they said. Everything is peaceful there now, they said. Mutants will be fine, they said. WELL THEY LIED AND WE CRIED. Shed some tears with the Boyz for a top tier episode that features all the core tenets of the X-Men -- secret pasts, broken hearts, pulse-pounding action, tragic sacrifices made in the face of brutal intolerance. And Sydney (added by Henry). Did we mention it's the spiciest batch of Gambit gumbo to date? The kind that makes your eyes water. Remember It? How could we forget? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/xboyzpod/support

WE GOT OUR MOJO BACK. Everyone’s favorite interdimensional megalomaniac ratings fiend has returned to torment Jubilee yet again. And this time he’s crashing her 18th birthday. Join the Boyz as we dissect a video game-themed episode that serves up a heavy dose of nostalgia with tons of nods to the 90s and the original series. And stick around for our coverage of Lifedeath pt. 1 where we discuss Storm's powerless dilemma, Forge's Papa’s Famous Bison Chili, a sudden steamy romance, and a mysterious new "Adversary." You don't want to miss it. Please don't make Mojo angry, he's already going through a lot right now, okay? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/xboyzpod/support

Join the Boyz (and Rob!!) as they discuss the thrilling third episode of X Men ‘97 “Fire Made Flesh” where two Jeans are scarier than one. All hail the majesty of Mean Jean The Goblin Queen, who turns the X-mansion into a nightmare hellscape while under the control of a “Sinister” presence from the X-Men’s past. And a power-less Storm forges a new friendship with an old friend of Xavier’s. If your memory’s as jumbled as a freshly baked Jean clone, have no fear. We’ve got you covered on direct connections and homages paid to the old animated series. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/xboyzpod/support

X-Boyz and Girlz, it's the moment you've all been waiting for. X-Men '97 has arrived and we're thrilled to report that it's bringing more heat than a Phoenix firestorm. Join us as we celebrate the mega two-part episode return of our old faithful friends who are back to take on some familiar foes (Gyrich, Trask, and the Sentinels) and some new threats to mutant-kind (X-Cutioner). The Professor's out of the picture and Magneto's running the show. Jean and Scott contemplate leaving the X-Men to start a family. And Rogue and Magneto TOUCH ON a secret romantic history. Stick around for a quick power rankings of the newly expanded X-Men squad to see how they're stacking up. Most other pods will lump in their coverage of this iconic show's revival with other content, but that's not how the Boyz roll. We've given episode-by-episode in-depth analysis of the original series and we're here to do the same for '97 every week on Thursdays. If you love mutants as much as we do, join us, won't you? Boyz, out. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/xboyzpod/support

The name's Crawler. Nightcrawler. And his mission is to infiltrate the heavily guarded chemical warfare facility at an F.O.H. dam in the US of A. Team commander on this assignment is "Wolverine" with additional support from rookie field agent Jubilation Lee codenamed "Jubilee." Be on the lookout for human rights extremist Graydon Creed. Intel says he's resurfaced with a vengeance. Operation "Mystique" is a go. But only if you choose to accept.

With great power comes great liability. Especially when you're a reality-shifting, body-snatching, energy-sapping teenager who's never seen the outside world. That's Kevin aka PROTEUS, a mutant who escapes from the research lab of the woman who puts the "ex" in Professor X -- Moira McTaggert. It's up to Xavier and the squad to help her track down this dangerous mutant (and the X-Boyz to analyze a two-part episode that probably should've just been one-parter). Stick around after our re-cap for a little mid-season mutant power rankings as the Boyz discuss how the main members of the team are stacking up so far (01:43:44). --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/xboyzpod/support

For a long time, the boyz have asked the question, what would the world be like without Xavier? Well, this week’s mega two-parter explores a dark future where the Professor isn’t around to fight for mutant rights. A timeline where Magneto has a beard and Beast hates literature. A place where Wolverine and Storm are… in love?! This sounds like a job for Bishop. And back, of course, along with him, is our beloved space/time continuum expert Rob Fonda. Join as we dive into a rare episode arc that actually inspired the comics as together we discover just what “One Man’s Worth.” --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/xboyzpod/support

The title says it all: NIGHTCRAWLER IS HERE. Wolverine, Gambit, and Rogue's ski vacation turns into a demon-hunting quest when local villagers claim a devilish blue boy is creeping around their holy town. But is he truly a villain?

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! For countless episodes, The Boyz have shaken their fist at the sky and screamed "WHERE'S MORPH?!" At long last, we proudly present the return of our favorite shape-shifting, wise-cracking X-Man. And he's brought a few of our favorite Season One friends with him.

We'll answer these questions and more as we recap Season 4 Episode 6, "Courage."
