Welcome true believers to X-Men Horoscopes where each week our host Lodro Rinzler is in conversation with a special guest to discuss the X-Men issue that aligns with a significant month and year from their life and what that issue reveals about their future. Long time friend of our host Matthew Bonaccorso joins us to talk DRACULA! The X-Men have fought aliens, had friends turn into giant space birds and live in a world where telepaths are on every block but balk at the possibility that Storm could possibly be hanging out with a vampire. But guess what? She got turnt! Yes, Matt's birthday corresponds to Storm falling under the sway of Dracula himself. Also in this issue: most of our listeners have probably imagined Wolverine in their bedroom if you were going to send one trade paperback to convince someone to like the X-Men, what it would it be? Kitty has to go run some errands Kitty buys a hat to kill Dracula Dracula is wearing the puffy shirt from Seinfeld Matt doesn't know how to pronounce jaunt Nightcrawler almost beats Dracula by holding up two sticks Dracula has a party bus coffin At the end of the day, the best way to defeat Dracula is, apparently, to gain his respect. What does any of this mean for Matt's future? Tune in to find out! Matt Bonaccorso is a seasoned product innovator. He's spent nearly two decades blending creativity and technology. He's worked on everything from smart toys to digital products for the world's largest entertainment companies like Nickelodeon and Discovery Channel, and he's the mind behind Corbit the Robot—a smart, AI-powered companion that entertained kids and parents alike. These days, he's the co-founder and CEO of Wowables Inc., an up-and-coming startup focused on the future of AI and robotics.

Welcome true believers to X-Men Horoscopes where each week our host Lodro Rinzler is in conversation with a special guest to discuss the X-Men issue that aligns with a significant month and year from their life and what that issue reveals about their future. Returning guest Cassie Lilly comes home to X-Men Horoscopes for an episode where we map X-Men 57 onto its historical counterpart in 1969...we're covering the Stonewall Riots! Yes - this is another "What does X-Men say about US?" episode, or at least the queer and queer-adjacent us. With that in mind, we also cover: why Iceman is Cleopatra the Sentinels...LIVE (for Polaris' outfit) Havok is a walking talking disaster and Lorna Dane, half a world away, falls in love Havok has to come out as a mutant and wonders if anyone has ever felt so alone Lodro manages the X-Men's finances "Men believe what they want to believe Bobby" Tune in because this episode...is going to be a riot! Jokes aside, this is when mutants in the Marvel Universe are starting to be persecuted and hunted simply for being mutants. We're witnessing the birth of mutant as metaphor in today's issue and it's message is a powerful one about how, when we stand together, we prevail. When we isolate, well, that's when the Sentinels will get ya. Bonus: we have a back up story called "The Female of the Species" which...is not great for feminism. "Cleaning the house is a breeze when you have telekinesis!" - Jean Grey ten years before becoming a cosmic entity Cassie Lilly is a truly creative person, having trained as an actress, most notably at the celebrated National Youth Theatre of London, who has also successfully dabbled in modeling and voiceover work before settling into her skills as a writer, with her first article published in 2021 detailing her perspective as a transgender girl in the modern world. She is an activist at heart, a champion for LGBTQ rights and the fight against racism, lending her voice as an educational public speaker, shedding light on the history and facts surrounding the culture war on trans people. As an avid comic book reader from an early age, Cassie is considered a “go-to” girl when it comes to comics. This lends perfectly to her super fun content coverage as a bubbly Tiktoker and across social media, diving into nerd culture, comic book characters, history and lore! You can join the discussion with @who.cassie across all social media!
