    Ivy Insights

    The North-South Connection podcast is a breath of fresh air for any fan of the nerd world, from wrestling enthusiasts to comic book lovers. As a new listener, I was instantly drawn to the great mix of nerdom that this podcast offers. The hosts, JT, Aaron, Chad, and the rest of the crew, are incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to pro wrestling history, trivia, and fun facts. Not only do they delve into the world of wrestling, but they also discuss sports, books, and other aspects of pop culture. The double meaning behind "HULK OUT" adds an extra layer of entertainment to the show.

    One of the best aspects of The North-South Connection podcast is the wealth of knowledge that the hosts bring to each episode. Whether they are talking about classic matches or analyzing current storylines in professional wrestling, their expertise shines through. It's clear that they have a genuine love for wrestling and a deep understanding of its history. The variety of shows within this podcast feed is also impressive. From old-school wrestling talk to discussions on books and sports, there is something for everyone.

    However, like any podcast, there may be some minor drawbacks. Occasionally, the show can veer off-topic or become a bit rambling. While this can add an element of authenticity and humor at times, it may deter listeners who prefer more structured conversations. Additionally, although the hosts bring immense knowledge to each episode, there may be instances where newcomers feel overwhelmed by inside jokes or references that only long-time fans understand.

    In conclusion, The North-South Connection podcast is a treasure trove for fans seeking entertaining and informative content about professional wrestling and various aspects of nerd culture. With its knowledgeable hosts and diverse range of shows on offer, it definitely delivers on providing engaging discussions for listeners who want to dive deep into their favorite topics. While there may be occasional tangents or insider references that may confuse newcomers initially, the overall quality and passion of the podcast make it well worth subscribing to. I cannot recommend The North-South Connection enough for anyone who wants to be part of a vibrant and lively community of wrestling and pop culture enthusiasts.

    X-Postion: An X-Men Podcast #17- Time Fugitives Parts 1 & 2

    Play Episode Listen Later Jun 18, 2025 92:55


    "To save my world, I have to help Apocalypse destroy a past one." After four consecutive self-contained episodes, X-MEN wisely ramps up the pace and the tension directly at the season's mid-point with a high-octane two-parter. "Time Fugitives" goes big in all the right aways, logically bringing together the show's resident time travelers Bishop and Cable as their respective futures are placed in direct conflict. Also returning is arch-villain Apocalypse, who is immortalized as a true existential threat unlike any other our heroes have faced by his malignant presence in two of the three distinct timelines tracked across these episodes. With recurring season 2 foes the Friends of Humanity continuing to sow anti-mutant sentiment amongst the public, the script has its hands full juggling a plethora of characters within a dense plot. Nevertheless, with the aid of veteran comics and science fiction writer Elliot S. Maggin pitching in, alongside some clever animation reuse through the magic of time travel, the story makes good on its epic ambitions as a series stand-out and fan favorite. Cable in particular receives a welcome makeover following his introduction as a blank slate, stock badass/mercenary. It's confirmed from the jump that he's a time traveler, though this was probably best avoided in the first season given the proximity of his appearances to Bishop's arrival. Here, that redundancy is treated as a feature rather than a bug, with Bishop's successful efforts to create a better future threatening to unravel Cable's (even more distant) future. Time travel nonsense aside, it comes down to a classic moral dilemma wherein Cable must make the impossible choice between two horrible alternatives. Unlike our initial encounter with the character, this Cable is informed by an actual backstory and origin that the comics had finally settled on -- and all the better for it. Here we meet a world-weary soldier and hardened pragmatist by circumstance, but a principled man nonetheless. More importantly, this Cable is a dedicated leader and father, one who grapples with his conscience constantly in search of any way for his and Bishop's respective worlds to co-exist. Equally clever strategist that he is, Cable's solution is ingenious (and, true to form for this series, accidentally socially relevant over 30 years later). In a season defined by its focus on character development, this reinvention of Cable arguably outshines the high-concept action surrounding it. X-TRA: Though Apocalypse's genetically engineered plague is only referred to once as a "techno-virus," it's fitting that this line is spoken by Cable. When his parentage is ultimately confirmed in X-MEN '97, we learn that Cable is the child of Cyclops and Jean's clone, Madelyne Pryor. Notably, he is exposed to a virus by Mr. Sinister, with symptoms very much resembling (and that Beast even compares to) this very same plague. Sinister's variant is more lethal, prompting Madelyne to send the stricken infant into the future as his only hope of survival.

    After a brief hiatus, a new season of Talk'n Docs is here! Jenny, Logan and Cowboy are pivoting this season to a new genre of documentaries… sports! The crew kicks things off by taking a look back at the 2011 ESPN 30 for 30 feature: Unguarded. Unguarded is the story of former NBA point guard Chris Herren. Chris's story is of a young man with immense talent who experiences the highest of the highs and the lowest of the lows as he battles addiction issues thorough out, and after, his playing career. From his beginnings as a local high school basketball legend in Fall River, MA all the way through a near tragedy in that same city after his playing career ended, Unguarded is an unflinching look at Chris's journey. It is a rough ride, but one that is quite inspirational. If you are a basketball fan or just enjoy an incredible personal story, kick back and enjoy this one with the Talk'n Docs crew!
