The guys finally reach the end of a wild first season of X-Men ’97. Whether the finale lives up to the hype is another story. The boys provide a full recap of the final clash between Xavier’s X-Men, Mags, and Big Bad Bastion, while warily looking into the X-future. The fate of the mutants wasn’t the only MCU headline this week, as rumors about the Agatha Harkness show (specif

With the X-Men ’97 season finale looming, the guys do their deepest dive yet on the hit series. There’s plenty to discuss, to include the awkward return of Charles Xavier and the untimely end of g-string Magneto. But much of that pales in comparison to episode 9’s shocking final moments, and the boys ponder just how Marvel & co. plan to top themselves next week. Speaking

No X-Men watchalong this week but the BS crew give first reactions to the latest episode of X-Men '97, “Tolerance Is Extinction Part 1”, featuring MANY spoilers (this is your warning). Oddly enough, that discussion is almost completely pre-empted by chili crunch and the drama surrounding it. (S/o to Fly by Jing… we see you too, Lao Gan Ma.) Elsewhere, the Iceman and JJ di

Ice is on excursion this week so naturally, things got weird. In the midst of X-Men fever, AJ and JJ host the first BS watchalong for episode 7 of the series. It’s an interesting experiment to say the least. (FWIW, the cue to begin the episode is at the 6 minutes and 35 second mark of this show.) Once the mutant mayhem plays out, the guys touch on the latest Deadpool & Wolver

If you like cartoons inflicting untold levels of trauma on an audience, this is the program for you. The guys finally get to dissecting X-Men ’97, specifically, the Infinity War-esque episode 5. (Spoilers abound so you’ve been warned.) They discuss the build up to the episode’s most dramatic events, the insane details surrounding production, and what this might mean for X fra

It’s a zesty one this week. AJ is clearly feeling a Wrestlemania hangover, while Ice is getting ready for a tradition unlike any other: Tiger Woods inevitably withdrawing early from the Masters. Oh, and in case you haven’t heard, there was an eclipse fairly recently. Strangely enough, its mysterious forces compelled JJ to visit every gas station in Loudoun County. Elsewhere: No

For the first time in a long time, the boys are back in Studio A! On this momentous occasion, the Iceman and JJ brought snacks and beverages to sample on the show. Logically, the conversation devolves into a heated debate about proper expectations at fast casual restaurants. All three hosts finally get around to sharing their thoughts about XMen '97 (with a few spoilers sprinkl

Pure chaos this week. The guys are remote in a new location, the aptly titled Studio Calaman-C. Uncle Phil is in town, and as usual, he comes bearing gifts of the boozy variety. The rest is kind of a blur but in in summation: Ray Ray is gracious host, Beertender makes dick jokes, General Jinro Jack takes command, AJ shouts about gambling, and Ice tries to get us cancelled on multip

The New Mod and The Iceman dive right into the weekend's festivities with a recap of his lovely Saturday with AJ and friends. The dynamic duo dive pivot directly into the XMEN '97 premiere (Spoiler Alert) and how it gives you all the childhood feels. Iceman has questions about the Star Wars Acolyte trailer and the fellas declare the BS Bracket Challenge is on for the BSPK t

Like last weekend's Oscars, this week's show features a lot of Oppy. The guys start discussing Hollywood's biggest night but by the end of it, AJ is exasperated, while Ice and Panfish bounce a new business idea around. In other news, with the summer concert season just around the corner, Ice shares his plans to see an old fave, albeit in a place that's a bit further
