Plus, longtime Alvin and the Chipmunks fans are convinced the latest Alvin has been looksmaxxed beyond recognition. 90s fans are just happy he at least vaguely resembles a rodent. And Episode 5 of Wolverine and the X-Men has Marvel Legends collectors scrambling to complete their Weapon X team before the secondary market catches on. It's The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

Cyclops is Waiting for Me - An X-Men: The Animated Series Weekly Recap
Logan hasn't always been the greatest guy. He is the best at what he does and (in this case) he's the best at putting the lives of people he doesn't really like that much, with one exception, at risk. JC and Rod dive into this horror and easter egg filled episode as the halfway point of Season 2 as Morph, Sabretooth, Lady Deathstrike and Maverick head to the Weapon X facility for two big surprises. A video version of this podcast is also available on YouTube and Facebook. It's the only way to see Rod's cat. Cyclops is Waiting for Me is our podcast series where we are going back and watching EVERY-SINGLE-X-MEN-ANIMATED-EPISODE we can find. This podcast started with the original 1992 X-Men: The Animated Series building up to the release of X-Men ‘97 Season 1. Since then we've completed X-Men: Evolution, Wolverine & The X-Men and the X-Men Anime.

The aliens like creatures are here to steal mutant bodies to breed with and it's a fury of survival to get out of there alive!

We review X-Men '97 Season 2 Episodes 4 & 5 (The Rise of Apocalypse Part 2 & Weapon X, Lies, and DVDs). Then we get into some X-Men comics from Marvel including X-Men 33 and Uncanny X-Men 31.
Wolverine confronts the ghosts of Weapon X while Daeron steps into the fire at Tumbleton. This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl are digging into two episodes packed with old enemies, buried secrets, questionable alliances, and families that probably should have tried therapy. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 DC Studios Chat: 9:06 X-Men ’97 Season 2 Episode 5: House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 4: X-Men '97 (Disney+) X-Men '97, Season 2 Episode 5 Title: Weapon X, Lies, and DVDs Air date: July 15, 2026 Director: Chase Conley Writers: Anthony Sellitti, Brian Ford Sullivan, and JB Ballard Summary: Wolverine and Morph assemble a volatile team of former Weapon X subjects and enemies to destroy the program's latest experiment. Their mission quickly turns into a mutant horror story involving the Brood, Omega Red, mutated wildlife, and the lingering damage caused by Dr. Cornelius. As the team fights to survive, Morph discovers Logan has been hiding his true objective: finding a way to restore the adamantium Magneto ripped from his body. The episode blends Weapon X nostalgia, science-fiction horror, and Wolverine's habit of manipulating the people closest to him. Ration out of 5, Full Metal Logan is Here Too Soon Brian: 4/5 Darryl: 4/5 House of the Dragon (HBO Max) House of the Dragon, Season 3 Episode 4 Title: Tumbleton Air date: July 12, 2026 Director: Clare Kilner Writer: David Hancock Summary: Ormund Hightower occupies Tumbleton and begins shaping the real Daeron Targaryen into a potential Hightower-controlled king. In King's Landing, Rhaenyra faces growing unrest, financial problems, and graffiti branding her the “Queen of Bastards,” while her response becomes increasingly authoritarian. Daemon discovers that Rhaena is Sheepstealer's rider and returns with a lie designed to protect his daughter. Elsewhere, Aegon searches for Sunfyre, Aemond remains missing, and Alicent learns that Helaena is pregnant. The episode establishes Ormund as a major threat while forcing Daeron to take his first brutal step toward becoming the man Ormund wants him to be.

Wolverine and Morph team up with a ragtag band of former enemies to take down Weapon X's newest deadly creation. #xmen97
Weapon X, lies, and DVDs perfectly describe this episode.We watch Wolverine step into a leadership role, but it quickly becomes clear that leading a team isn't one of Logan's strengths, at least not without a little help from his biggest admirer, Morph. The episode leans heavily into horror elements while revealing a side of Wolverine that neither of our hosts expected to see.What did you think of the latest episode?

Bob and Matt discuss "Weapon X, Lies, and DVDs".
“Weapon X, Lies, and DVDs” picks up from the post-credits tease of the previous episode, with Wolverine “getting the band back together” to invade Weapon X. The episode in fact reassembles the members of Team X from the original animated series: Lady Deathstrike, Kane, Maverick, and Sabretooth, with Morph along as pilot and emotional support for Logan.Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
This week on Straight Outta Marvel, we're stepping away from the looming threat of Apocalypse to take a gritty, horror-fueled detour into Logan's past. In "Weapon X, Lies, and DVDs," Wolverine, Morph, and a ragtag team of former rivals—including Lady Deathstrike and Sabretooth—find themselves trapped in a high-stakes facility facing Weapon X's latest, most dangerous experiment.We're breaking down:The Morph Factor: Why this episode is a massive win for Morph's character development and their evolving dynamics with the rest of the team.A "Bone Claw" Era: Was this a necessary mission to restore Logan's adamantium, or did it cut the "bone claw" arc too short?The Cameos: We're geeking out over the appearances of Alpha Flight members and other deep-cut X-lore.Tone & Animation: From the John Carpenter-style horror atmosphere to the surprisingly brutal stakes, we discuss if this "filler" episode lands or if it's just a distraction.Grab your popcorn and hit play—we're catching all the Easter eggs and callbacks live.

For this episode, the Bandits welcome cartoonist, educator, and comics historian Jim Rugg for a wide-ranging discussion about his career, his love of comics history, and his latest book, Wolverine: Weapon X from Bloomsbury's Marvel Age of Comics series. Jim reflects on discovering comics, balancing creative work with criticism and education, and the lasting impact of Cartoonist Kayfabe on the comics community. The conversation then turns to Barry Windsor-Smith's legendary Weapon X storyline, exploring its groundbreaking storytelling, horror influences, artistic innovations, and enduring legacy in Wolverine mythology.

When Skybound announced M.A.S.K. would be joining the Energon Universe, fans immediately had questions. How would Matt Trakker and Miles Mayhem fit alongside Transformers, G.I. Joe, and Void Rivals? Out this week, we sat down with writer Dan Watters and artist Pye Parr to discuss updating the classic property, designing its iconic vehicles, and why M.A.S.K. offers a unique perspective within the larger Energon Universe. We're running the full uncut interview, featuring even more discussion on cool cars, character dynamics, action sequences, and what readers can expect from the series moving forward.

Joe, Transformers, and its own thing. What aspects of the original property were most important to preserve, and where did you see opportunities to reinvent it for the Energon Universe? Matt Trakker's introduction is fascinating because he's being hunted by the military, yet it quickly becomes clear he wants to be captured. Why was that the right way to introduce him, and what does it reveal about who he is in this version of M.A.S.K.? Miles Mayhem comes across as both calculating and completely unhinged. His fear of Transformers and extraterrestrial threats gives him a very different motivation than a typical villain. What interested you about making him someone who might see himself as humanity's last line of defense? One of the most exciting ideas in M.A.S.K. has always been vehicles transforming into weapons and armor systems. Pye, what was the challenge of updating those iconic transformations for modern audiences while still capturing the toyetic fun fans expect? Dan, after writing Destro, what was appealing about tackling another corner of the Energon Universe? Did your experience with Destro help shape how you approached M.A.S.K., or did you want this book to have a completely different flavor? The first issue hints at a larger arms race involving technology and weapons that may not even originate on Earth. How much of M.A.S.K. is a spy thriller versus a science-fiction story, and where does it fit tonally alongside Transformers, G.I. Joe, and Void Rivals? Bruce Sato and Gloria Baker are positioned as key new recruits. What qualities do they bring to M.A.S.K. that complement or challenge Matt Trakker's leadership style? The original M.A.S.K. comic debuted in 1987 and had a very different view of global threats and military organizations. Were there any specific elements from that era that you deliberately updated to reflect modern anxieties and geopolitics? Fun question: If you could each claim one M.A.S.K. vehicle and mask from the entire franchise to use in real life for a week, which would you pick and what completely irresponsible thing would you do with it?

Alex and Guest discuss the controversial rework to Gambit, debating whether the power buff makes up for the destroyed-cost nerf. They also break down the floor-raising buffs to Deathlok and Lady Sif, discuss whether Awesome Andy is finally playable, and call out the "lazy" power bump given to Ms. Marvel.Then, it's time for new card reviews! They debate the true viability of Muse, deciding that he might just be a bench player in classic Destroy but a powerhouse in Dormammu and Weapon X lists. Plus, they look ahead to Lady Bullseye, predicting that her unspent energy affliction will create some incredible, clippable moments in High Evo, Wong, and Akari shells.Finally, they open the Mailbag to pitch some desperate reworks to save one of the worst cards in the game: Mantis.Join Alex Coccia and special guest itsGuestGaming as they chat about this and more on this episode of The Snap Chat—and catch Cozy and Alex every week as they discuss all things Marvel Snap.Have a question or comment for Cozy and Alex?

This week, Alex is joined by Marvel Snap creator and Marvel Yap co-host: Tuccrr! The duo kicks things off with a deep dive into the latest card releases. They discuss why the highly anticipated Punisher War Machine is currently falling flat in the meta, and debate whether the massive 4/12 stats on Akari are worth the awkward deck-building restrictions. Plus, they break down Muse, exploring how this new 3-Cost Ongoing card could revitalize mid-range Destroy decks featuring Weapon X and Dormammu.Next, Alex and Tucker play game designer and build their ultimate wishlist of Cards We Want Un-Nerfed. They debate the chaotic implications of reverting Marvel Snap's most infamous cards back to their original, overpowered states, including 3/5 Loki, 2-Cost Zabu, Original Ms. Marvel, 2-Cost Elsa Bloodstone, and the 2/4 Agent Venom.Finally, the hosts pitch some desperate reworks for the game's worst cards. Could Major Victory be redesigned as a High Evolutionary for the Guardians of the Galaxy? Does Mantis need to disable Objective cards? And why does Negasonic Teenage Warhead look exactly like Jack from Mass Effect?Join Alex Coccia and special guest Tuccrr as they chat about this and more on this episode of The Snap Chat—and catch Cozy and Alex every week as they discuss all things Marvel Snap.Have a question or comment for Cozy and Alex?

This week, Alex is joined by content creation legend and Marvel Snap fanatic: Regis Killbin! The duo kicks things off by addressing the elephant in the room—the recent Second Dinner layoffs, the departure of the community manager, and Ben Brode's official response. They discuss how the community reacts to "doom posting" and why maintaining trust in a free-to-play economy is so crucial.After reviewing last season's standouts (where Regis makes a bold claim that Archangel is the secret best card in the game), it's time for a massive New Season Preview! Alex and Regis break down all the upcoming releases:Shadowlands Daredevil: Does the Season Pass card dilute your deck too much, or are 1/6 Demons secretly overpowered?Wilson Fisk: Why this 3/9 stat-stick has Alex cooking up a wild Spider-Man Noir deck.Karen Page: Regis goes on a hilarious rant about why normal "ladies at a desk" make for boring cards compared to giant dragons and superheroes.Punisher War Machine: Is this the ultimate ramp card, or does it telegraph your game plan too easily?Lady Bullseye & Akari: Evaluating the new Affliction package and a spicy Nightmare synergy.Muse & Stick: Why Muse might slot into Weapon X destroy decks, and why Stick is just a tragically worse version of Maverick and Forge.Join Alex Coccia and special guest Regis Killbin as they chat about this and more on this episode of The Snap Chat—and catch Cozy and Alex every week as they discuss all things Marvel Snap.Have a question or comment for Cozy and Alex?
