  • Wasted Opportunity

    Another show where people try to force their politics on you and make it about sexual orientation. Was looking forward to this but hard pass.

  • I give it five X's

    Finally, a mutant podcast that focused on the important issue: homoeroticism.

    Also the music is so good.

  • Mutant Ages - Gay and Fantastic!

    Absolutely fantastic podcast. Maddy and Ryan are filled with X-Men knowledge. As a fan of X-Men myself but don’t know too many comic storylines, I love being given a quick summary of important comic storylines and how they relate and are similar/different to what’s being portrayed in X-Men shows/films.

    Highly recommend this podcast to anyone who loves X-Men and queerness. And the music segments are top notch. This pod’s theme song is constantly stuck in my head.

    And this pod has made me hate... more

  • Great show!

    I love this show! I’ve been listening to it for probably a couple years and it’s honestly been a driving force behind me getting more into the x-man. The analysis is so interesting and funny and always just a joy to listen to.

  • Perfect watch along podcast, especially if you want to know how every character is gay. Original songs are bops. I listened in 2017 and now I'm back.
