Keith (and surprise guest Fox The Dog) hit the seat to talk about being a part of the Marvel Rivals alpha, gameplay and who all is gonna be there (mutants)

It's a surprisingly spiritual walk through leaning into nostalgia, acknowledging holisitic teamwork, and standing on business. 

The creator streak continues as I get candid with the cartoonist behind my favorite cover for X Lives Of Wolverine! Jump in!

Gerry returns and we throw the whole format as I speedrun 20 questions submitted by the XOW Patreon community! It's everything you'd expect of this pod, basically. In the best way. Come hear a bunch of things Gerry definitely didn't anticipate having to say 😂

So, this one was about the worst x-teams we could imagine, but there's no chance Gerry was gonna hit the seat without talking about...well...everything. so here's a little bit about Synch, baseball, intersectionality, covid, good vibes and bad vibes and a surprising amount of Boom Boom. 

PATIENCE DONE. I sat on this episode for FAR FAR too long to be honest it was giving me anxiety bit the time is now! Here's your sneak peek into an hour-long special to kick off season 6. We get into X-men Red on the week of X-men Red with the person that wrote X-men Red. The question wasn't even meant to be about that tbh but you know where to go to hear the full extended cut! www.patreon.com/xofwords

We finally got around to answering those questions you submitted in a 30min GIANT-SIZE! Patreon members are about to have a BIG S06 kickoff so I figured this could be our lil celebration to round up S05. Back at it again! 

If you have any good memories of me. Think of that goodwill I've built before you hit play. 

DIGITAL DROP! Look it's a good-ass time to be a Patreon, is all I'm saying. 40mins+ of @winnnnno @unimpressedfave and @thehermeister cutting UP about the negro nation! Theme tunes, betrayal, schemes, stunts (me), allegations, REDLIGHT, and a prolonged dispute about my voting credibility. One of the best yet... 

This is just a teaser! The full episode (and 20+ other specials and exclusives) are waiting for you right here: patreon.com/xofwords

Now you got to know we don't condone animal abuse but this animal is literally not real and also may have played a role on Jan 6th we simply do not know. 

Like everything Steph touches, this is gold. Do yourself a solid and come join! 

You know every season has to have a new format, and this might be my favourite one. They VS, you vote! Hit play, the outcome's all down to you...

We come back for the comeback! Tiffie, Khalid and I talk all things Storm, caves, and about 50 side-tracks in between!

Michael joins me again to introduce you to Bishop. Jump in! 

Welcome to the X-Men Red line. This shuttle stops at INTERGALACTIC WAP. NEGRO BIRD ALIENS. ARAKUSSY. MAGNETO CHURCH SUITS. OMEGA ASS BOOKS. ABIGAIL REBRAND. GOLDEN AGE. 

LMAOOO come listen to this y'all. 

Chile this one was a struggle in the beginning I have to admit, but we find our groove into a loose discussion about our theories and hopes for the era of the pre-eminent, pre-cooked, pre-cog. 

Drag race legend, cosplay maven and cat-namer extraordinaire lands in the XOW seat to talk about whether all the spandex and "THEATRE, DARLING" plays a close line to that other visual art-form we love so much.

RETURN of read-alongs! The thread to the episode is here: 

This one is funny and real and imo, one of XOW's best. def take a listen. 

We've never seen a hoe of this potential, of this power. So WHO else could talk about the King of Sling but Tevin.  

I mean...this is a tough one to explain. Strap in.

Here's your snippet of the weekly Patreon exclusive, Michael touches down to bicker, banter and bring Maggot to the front of the screen 

We sat down for a riotous 60 with assistant producer, keyframe animator and Rogue fan club president Matthew.

We recorded this back when there wasn't any sight of our girl, but now there is, so here you go! Join me and AL as we track where she's come from and where she's going. Vote Armor! 

We do a lot of talking about the mutant metaphor on the periphery of episodes, but it's time to take the edges to the middle. Terry Blas, writer of Reptil and X-fan, joins me to talk about what meaning mutants had then, and what meaning is in front of us now. 

New convo up! Lae touched down for their second episode and managed to kill it, again, in a second language, and within 13 minutes. Don't let the short-run fool you this one is all hits! 

There isn't a better way to kick off 2022 than introducing you to one half of the IT couple KindThought. Caleb joins me to help get you introduced!

Here's a ten-minute snippet of this week's special. 20 mins of wild speculation about who we think can and can NOT throw down in the kitchen based on one part knowledge, one part vibes. 

For the full episode (and 20 or so more bonus ones) head over to www.patreon.com/xofwords 

We muse (yes muse) about black love in the world of mutants and beyond. If you want to hear the whole episode, come join the quiet council at www.patreon.com/xofwords

TIME FOR THAT NEW NEW. I'm joined by new Guest Martin as we take on. the big questions at the end of New Mutants. Wait for the heavy-hitting at the end! 

This question is kind of a no-brainer, like could you imagine if we were like "...no". God forbid. Anyway, you may know the answer, but the getting there is fun. Jump in! 

Here's a teaser for the first weekly Patreon exclusive. 20+ mins of analysis of Amenth, ferality and mess!

Could they? Should they? Would you read it? Tev hits the seat to talk about why these two deserve redemption just as much as anyone else. 

He aint timing but he's timing it ain't his show but it's his show. We swap seats and get into the best thing going for the x-men rn. 

96% of you voted, so here's a teaser for the first in the VAULT series, where we resurrect questions that have already been answered but were too good to lose! Double features of iconic (previously lost) episodes. 

Darwin is BACK, and we do a X-min tour through representation in interracial relationships, recording artist The Dream, some bits about Laura and the debut of "whoop" Pls 😮‍💨

Come figure out what all this is! 

Lots of real shaky liberal ideology happening in throwaway panels now that the mutants are officially back in spandex. Nadi hits the seat and slams the timer to talk about it. NOT one to miss. 

STRAP IN! This one goes into Giant-Sixze as we get all META, it's shout-outs, love-ins, and mess as Joe makes his official debut to talk about a mutant in dire need of love affection, and one of them redemption arcs all the yt men keep getting! Come get introduced to a brand new voice, and the unimitable (kinda) Ms Bloom! 

Destiny is BACK, so - beyond the obvious shit that's about to hit the fan - does that means we're finally going to see Blue Man Group come back together? I'm joined by Darkholme stan Lauren to discuss the "will they"'s and the "why"'s of this very dysfunctional family gathering. 

Reflexive adaptation has kept Darwin alive through a whole MESS of bullshit (including poor FOX franchises) 

THEY WERE ROBBED! I made this question because some of our mutants are getting done dirty, and there was no one better to call than @thehermeister. Here's a 5min preview as we chat relegated faves, fucked up trends, babysitting and the JubiLegion!

Mystery! go Listen! 

Inferno is inferning, so Evan comes back to guess how much Emma actually knows about the conspiracy she's blowing up.

We do the most. Come get your musical interludes, nerd recaps, scalpings, and a return to lighthearted fun! 

You might think it's a bug, you might think I'm having a stroke, neither is true. I just realised, after a full year, that having a blindfold episode is kinda pointless if you're not also in on the fun, so from now on we'll be finding out what the question is together. You feel that? That's *immersion*. Hit play!  

From a demon dimension to an island, to a planet. It's been a hell of a year for the OG mutants, so Caleb joins me to discuss why so many black readers have seen them as a specifically black analogy. Also whether we're ready to claim them wholesale for the delegation. Of course, there's an extended section about Sobunar 🥴

It's time for you to get introduced! Get your life. Get your info. Your X starts now
