  • Get Down! I go where Solving for X wants to go!

    No place to hide, no place to run. The Shawn and Kevin age has now begun. As an X-treme X-Men casual this is an essential podcast to listen to. Not only do you get charming witty banter but you also get a wealth of context and behind the scenes knowledge of all things X-Men. Listening to these brings a smile to my face and brightens my day and I have Pryde to have known Shawn and Kevin in my lifetime. Give this a listen, it’s a Gambit that will bring you Jubilee!

Trish Talk: X-Men 97: S2 C5 and Midnight: X-Men

Trish Talk: X-Men 97: S2 C5 and Midnight: X-Men

Wolverine and the X-Men: Badlands
Q: What makes Polaris a standout character in this episode?

Trish Talk: Interview with Emmett Yonemura
Q: What was the most challenging aspect of balancing different tones across projects like Lego and Constantine DTV?

The arc provided a powerful sense of loss and sacrifice, culminating in a move that underscored character growth and the risks of threatening relationships within the team.
