Many years and many drinks later, Brett Mannes and Evil Jeff are at it again to talk about the other thing they are super gay for...Comic Books.
The Comic Book Queers: Legacy podcast is an absolute must-listen for fans of the X-Men, comics, and pop culture in general. Hosted by Brett and Evil Jeff, this podcast offers a fabulously queer perspective on all things Marvel (and sometimes DC). With their witty banter and infectious enthusiasm, they make you feel like you're just hanging out with your friends, discussing all the MARVEL goodness you've read or watched in the past week.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the comprehensive coverage of all things X-Men. Brett and Jeff delve deep into storylines, characters, and relationships within the X-Men universe. Whether it's discussions about Sinister and Nanny or Jean and Emma, they provide hilarious commentary that leaves listeners in stitches. Additionally, their passion for the subject matter shines through, making it an engaging and entertaining listen for any X-Men fan.
However, one potential downside to this podcast is its heavy focus on Emma Frost. While some listeners may adore her character, those who are not fans might find themselves alienated or frustrated by the consistent praise she receives. Although it's great that Brett and Jeff have a favorite character to gush over, it would be nice to see more balanced discussions that cater to a wider variety of X-Men fans.
In conclusion, The Comic Book Queers: Legacy podcast is highly recommended for anyone who loves comics and wants to hear entertaining discussions from a queer perspective. Brett and Evil Jeff bring laughs, real queer talk, and genuine enthusiasm to every episode. Despite its slight bias towards Emma Frost at times, this podcast provides insightful analysis and recommendations for both Marvel and DC comics. If you're looking for a fun-filled journey through all things X-Men with two hilarious hosts at the helm, this podcast is definitely worth your time!
