  • Great show

    The two hosts are funny and insightful, with a clear enthusiasm for the topic of C-Men. You can tell they are good friend by the easy rapport they have. It makes each episode entertaining, interesting and well worth the listen. I didn’t know we needed another X-Men podcast, but it turns out we did and this was the one more we needed.
