We discuss Marvel's extensive lineup for 2026, including animated series like Spider-Man and X-Men, as well as live-action shows such as Wonder Man and Daredevil. Along with our friend Craig from Comic Book Gurus, we explore the significance of character connections, the evolution of storytelling in Marvel's universe, and the anticipation surrounding upcoming releases. Our discussion highlights the blend of humor and action in new series, the return of beloved characters, and the overarching theme of interconnected narratives within the Marvel franchise. We also discuss the intricate connections between Marvel characters, upcoming series, and films, particularly focusing on the legacy of Ultron, the anticipation for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and the implications of Avengers: Doomsday. We explore character arcs, potential storylines, and the impact of new characters in the Marvel universe, while also speculating on the future of Marvel films and their interconnected narratives.

There is some great, weird and just plain crazy news to talk through today. Have Hot Toys jumped the shark? Is Ben about to drop $1500 on a Soundwave? More Mondo, more Blokees and of course, More Todd. Franks TMNT collection lacks a life size element - could this change soon? Then we compare the newly released Origins Fright Zone with the vintage one - which in itself gives Scot the fright of his life!

Uncanny X-Men #186 — “LifeDeath” — remains one of the boldest creative swings in Marvel history. Instead of battles and villains, Chris Claremont and Barry Windsor-Smith deliver a quiet, emotionally devastating story about identity, trauma, and the cost of rebuilding yourself after everything is taken away.COMICS ROT YOUR BRAIN! is a deep dive into ‘80s comics (plus a few notable exceptions). In this weekly podcast, screenwriters Steven Bagatourian (AMERICAN GUN) and Christopher Derrick (STAR TREK: PICARD) discuss their favorite books, runs, and creators from the Bronze Age.In this video, Chris examines why LifeDeath is such a groundbreaking moment in the X-Men's long, fabled canon — from Storm's loss of her powers, to Forge's haunted past, to the painterly visual language Windsor-Smith used to redefine what superhero comics could look like in the 1980s.If you love the X-Men, Storm, Forge, Claremont's writing, Windsor-Smith's art, or deep-dive comics analysis, this issue is essential, and its legacy still echoes today.#XMen #MarvelComics #comichistoryDrop us a line!

We've traveled through the X-Men in the 70s, 80s, and the greater Marvel Universe; made stops in DC, and even the Amalgam and crossover universes.

Today on Too Opinionated we sit down with actor Cam Clarke.   For many American families, the King family defined Christmas entertainment. "Now They're All Here: The King Family, Over 100 Years of Entertainment From America's First Family of Song" is a not only a complete history of the famous King family, but a story of author, Cam Clarke's, life in front of and behind the camera.   "Now They're All Here: The King Family " is more than just a celebration of television history; it's a family album from one of America's most iconic entertainment families. The King Family has been performing together (and with solo careers) since the 1920s: vaudeville, radio, musical films of the 1940s, kitschy sci-fi from the 1950s, tours across the country, recordings in musical genres from jazz and big band to Broadway and pop—even cartoons and video games. Cameron Arthur Clarke is an American voice actor who is known for voicing Leonardo and Rocksteady from the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon, Shotaro Kaneda from Akira, Freddy from the Barnyard franchise, Liquid Snake from Metal Gear Solid, Clay Kaczmarek from Assassin's Creed II and Simba from The Lion King franchise whenever Matthew Broderick is unavailable.  Cam is also known for being the voice for Snoopy (Snoopy the Musical/Talking Snoopy Doll),  Max Sterling in Robotech, He-Man in the 2002 He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, the tween idol, Heath Burns, in the original Monster High, and Professor X in several X-Men properties.    Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)

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. With us this week is threepeat guest Cassandra Smith back to talk about the X-Men and trans rights as we explore the Uncanny X-Men Issue (13) that came out the month the World Health Organization ruled that being transgender is not a mental disorder. What does a ragtag team of misfit X-Men hiding in a bar and hunting their old enemies have to say about the future of trans rights? Geez. This one is tough. Also in this episode:  Rahne is in her sexy era Cyclops tea bags X-Men villains Putting underwear on over your clothes Havok is bored because all of his friends are dead Lodro is upset by Cyclops' sartorial choices Don't shave the hair off my Barbie! None of the X-Men in this era have hobbies Cyclops sleeps in a single bed What does this Dark Beast-laden issue mean for the future of marginalized communities in these dark times?

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.

Eric “Mr. Honest” Sequeira takes a laid-back, hype-filled walk down the MCU's 2026 runway — from the wildcard buzz of Wonder Man, through Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, Punisher: War Journal, X-Men '97 Season 2, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Season 2, and the mysterious VisionQuest, all the way to Avengers: Doomsday on December 18, 2026. This is a riff-heavy, honest vibe check on what's coming, what he's most excited about, and how each project tightens the spring for Marvel's next Avengers event. If you're curious about how full (or not) the road to Doomsday really is — and why that might actually be a good thing — this one's for you. Stick around to the end for thoughts on She-Hulk, mini-sode plans, and how you can help Marvel Maniac climb the charts.

Rather than rescuing Professor Xavier, who has been captured by Factor Three, the X-Men have to make a detour to Subterranea. The underground world is home to two villains, Mole Man and Tyrannus. Today's episodes cover their backstories before diving into the villains' conflict with the X-Men in Uncanny X-Men #34.Issues covered: Incredible Hulk #5, Fantastic Four #1, Tales to Astonish #80-81, Uncanny X-Men #34

Send us a textAre you overwhelmed or just missing the words to say what you feel?In this episode, Nina Garcia explores emotional literacy, the third profile in the Emotional Security Spectrum. Using the character of Cyclops from X-Men, Nina powerfully explains what happens when we feel big emotions but don't have the language to express them. You'll learn how emotions live in the body, why control is not the same as courage, and what it actually looks like to show up for yourself with honesty and clarity. If you've ever pushed through pain, repeated the same relationship patterns, or felt out of control emotionally, this episode offers tools to help you understand and speak your truth, without shame.What you're going to walk away with:

With her amazing new book, DANTE: THE ESSENTIAL COMMEDIA (Liveright), scholar Prue Shaw brings us a canto-by-canto journey through Dante's masterwork, interweaving translated verses with her commentary, and serving as a Virgil-like guide to the poem. We talk about how she was inspired by John Carey's The Essential Paradise Lost, why the Paradiso was her biggest challenge, how the poem has changed for her over the course of her life, and why she went with prose translations of Dante rather than verse. We get into Dante's balance of pride in his art and his humility before God, the modern sound of Dante's verse and the challenge of translating Italian into English, what she's learning from helping translate Shelley into Italian, why she wants The Essential Commedia to serve as a gateway drug into Dante, and the nature of language & why the Tower of Babel plays a big role in the Commedia. We also discuss her incredible work on third edition of the Digital Commedia, life after the death of her husband, Clive James, and putting a collection of his final poems together, how an issue of the X-Men turned me on to Dante as a kid, my changing views on Ulysses in the Commedia, why sloth is my fave of the deadly sins, and more.

In this episode, Laramy and cohost Justin Baker tackle one of the most infamous entries in the Fox X-Men franchise: Dark Phoenix. We break down the rushed character arcs, questionable story choices, and missteps that kept this adaptation from living up to its legendary source material. We compare the movie to the original Dark Phoenix Saga, explore what the film left out, examine the performances (including some actors clearly ready to move on), and discuss how this became a disappointing finale for the long-running X-Men universe. We also talk about what might have been if Jean and Scott had been given more time to develop earlier in the series, and why this story deserved something far more powerful than what ended up on screen.

Chu. It's no surprise with numbers like these that Universal Pictures is already “underway” with ways to continue the franchise on the screen, according to the studio's chief marketing executive, Michael Moses.Scarlett Johansson will star in Mike Flanagan's upcoming adaptation of The Exorcist. Backed by Universal and Blumhouse, Flanagan's film is said to be in the universe of The Exorcist, but is not a remake or sequel according to the director.

"You took away everything I had. Everything I ever was!"   After an explosive mid-season 2-parter, X-Position returns with a pair of stand-alone episodes picking right back up with the familiar character-focused format. And while another three episodes remain, these installments will actually round out the character spotlights that have come to define the show's second season. "A Rogue's Tale" functions as something of an origin for its titular character, as ghosts of the past come back to inform events in the present. It's a crunchy, lore-heavy episode no doubt satisfying for longtime X-Men fans, featuring a deep dive into Rogue's tortured past, tutelage under Mystique, and a prominent role for Ms. Marvel all reframed to fit the context of this animated universe. It smartly puts Professor Xavier's disappearance to use as a plot point, making clear that the central conflict is only made possible by his absence. Less satisfying is its conclusion, which essentially confines an innocent woman to solitary confinement and calls it a day. While far from being presented as a happy ending, it's unclear where the show ultimately lands on the existential question of how Carol Danvers' disembodied consciousness should be regarded - resulting in some muddled messaging ethically.   On the other side of the coin, "Beauty and the Beast" takes a closer look at Dr. Henry McCoy's interior life, a topic that is naturally of heightened interest given how little time viewers have spent with him relative to other characters. Aside from a quick scene of Hank reminiscing over some family photos, this episode is differentiated from the season's other character studies in that it is largely unconcerned with mining its protagonist's past. The approach makes sense given Beast's relatively stable upbringing. Despite his "heteromorphic" appearance, Beast has largely been presented as the character most at ease with his mutation and public image - whether as a mutant, accomplished scientist, or pardoned felon. Hitting Hank where it hurts the most means discrediting his accolades and good nature - and most pointedly, dashing a promise of love that he has long denied himself - solely on the basis of him being a highly visible mutant. All put to great effect by the militant anti-mutant Graydon Creed. It gives Beast the rare opportunity to cut lose while Wolverine employs the art of subterfuge in a satisfying role reversal, capped off with Creed's ironic comeuppance.   X-TRA: Another version of these episodes might have seen their otherwise disparate plots woven together by way of a common element: none of other than Mystique. While Rogue's upbringing by Mystique is the driving force in "A Rogue's Tale," we also have one side of Graydon Creed's parentage revealed in "Beauty and the Beast." Sabretooth is confirmed to be Creed's father, but his mother in fact being Mystique remains a mystery for another day. Despite this familial connection, the latter is actually the only episode of the season in which Rogue does not appear.

A Note from James:Tye Sheridan is one of my favorite actors. You might know him as Cyclops in the X-Men movies (Apocalypse, etc.) or as the lead in Ready Player One—which is not only a great movie but also one of my favorite sci-fi books. One of his first films was Mud with Matthew McConaughey.What I didn't realize: since 2016, while still acting, Tye has also been a serious AI entrepreneur. He and Nikola Todorovic co-founded AI-powered VFX/CGI company, Wonder Dynamics, now an Autodesk company, that built AI tools to make visual effects more accessible.I wanted them both on to talk about how AI will change filmmaking—potentially letting someone like me make a movie that would normally cost hundreds of millions because of VFX—and, just as important, how Tye balanced being a movie star and an entrepreneur at the same time. I also wanted Nikola's take on where AI is going and whether it will take jobs. Fascinating conversation ahead—here are Tye Sheridan and Nikola Todorovic.Episode Description:James sits down with actor–founder Tye Sheridan and VFX director Nikola Todorovic to unpack how their company's AI tools (now part of Autodesk) are changing what small teams can pull off—and what that means for studios, budgets, and actual stories. They trace the path from stitching 360° GoPro rigs and a VR proof-of-concept… to a first demo for Steven Spielberg… to a platform that lets indies do big-look work without big-studio burn. You'll hear clear, non-hyped answers on where text-to-video fits, why they focus on editable 3D over black-box 2D, and a candid take on the only moat that still matters: writing something people care about.What You'll Learn:A workable cost model for VFX-heavy projects: where 10× savings can come from—and where they can't.How to run “lean” on real productions: recruiting cross-disciplinary talent and sequencing funding without chasing hype cycles.3D pipelines vs. text-to-video: why pros need full control of lighting, camera, and performance—and how Sora-style tools can still complement the workflow.Story first, always: the audience forgives limited budgets—not lazy scripts.A pragmatic future for studios and indies: expanding voices without erasing human actors or craft.Timestamped Chapters:[00:02:00] “Hollywood is nervous”: James frames the AI anxiety he's hearing in studio rooms.[00:03:01] A note from James: why Tye's career (from Mud to Ready Player One) made him the right guest—plus Nikola's VFX roots.[00:06:03] Tree of Life to tech startup: meeting on set, Chivo's influence, and early curiosity about tools.[00:13:46] DIY 360° & the Spielberg audition: the VR demo, a $10k experiment, and a first product pitch to Steven.[00:20:12] The question everyone asks: will AI erase studio jobs—or expand what smaller teams can make?[00:24:00] Distribution changed—financing didn't: presales, streaming, strikes, and why a bigger shift is still coming.[00:27:12] Reality check on budgets: VFX vs. SFX, and how a $100M effects bill could land near $10M.[00:36:02] Running lean + real backers: Founders Fund, MaC VC, Horizons; hiring for overlap (CV/ML/VFX/eng).[00:37:44] From waitlist to workflows: who used the platform first, and a TV case where weeks became days.[00:42:12] Sora vs. 3D pipelines: where text-to-video fits—and why pros avoid black-box 2D for final shots.[01:00:45] “A decade of procrastination”: the founders joke about building a company to avoid writing their own film—then set sights on making it.Additional Resources:Tye Sheridan — filmography and roles (Ready Player One, X-Men).
