X-Lapsed, Episode 9 - House of X #5
Friday Sep 11, 2020
Friday Sep 11, 2020
Welp... that other shoe just dropped, dinnit?
Today we're discussing the big bombshell reveal in House of X #5. Who were those mutants hatchlings? Where did they come from? What will they go on to be? Why is Goldballs here? Those answers, and a whole lot more in this very episode!
S'more of that "more" includes: the United Nations ruling on Krakoa's sovereign status as well as the idea that Krakoa is for all mutants. If you're following along, this is an episode you won't wanna miss!
Thanks to everyone listening along in real-time for not spoiling this huge reveal for me! I look forward to finally being part of the conversation... and hearing how everyone else received it! Please reach out and share your thoughts!

X-Lapsed, Episode 8 - Powers of X #4
Thursday Sep 10, 2020
Thursday Sep 10, 2020
Something Sinister this way comes... and your humble host has a field day trying to figure out exactly what this might mean moving forward. We're playing with X-History here... in a way that I'm kinda diggin' on! We get the origin story of Krakoa, some Doug Ramsey... Xavier in a pith helmet... Then... we check in with X³ and I nearly lose all motivation to move forward! No worries, though... push on I shall!
Also: Some great Listener Mail... and baby-steps toward putting together a potential BooX Club!

X-Lapsed, Episode 7 - House of X #4
Wednesday Sep 09, 2020
Wednesday Sep 09, 2020
So, who's ready for even more HoX/PoX Hot Takes from your fumblin', stumblin' humble host? Boy, the issue we're discussing today (House of X #4) does not pull any punches. We've got a lot to talk about here... and, lemme tell ya, I had quite the conversation with myself over the direction of this event! I look forward to continuing the discussion with actual humans!
Also, some great and helpful feedback... and, in the Krakoan spirit, planting the first seeds of an idea for a "BooX Club" (clever, no? Okay, not really.)
As always, a huge thank you to everyone whose listened and reached out over the course of the first handful of episodes (it means the world!), I hope you'll continue to join me for my long-overdue wild ride into X-Relevancy... even though I seemingly can't shut up about the over reliance on info-pages!

X-Lapsed, Episode 6 - House of X #3
Tuesday Sep 08, 2020
Tuesday Sep 08, 2020
Who's ready for some Hot-Takes? Because, as we reach the halfway point of the HoX/PoX event, your fumblin', stumblin' humble host has got a bunch of 'em!
Your paranoid pal has started to worry about the man in the Cerebro helmet... and the potential disposability of his favorite mutant heroes! It's all wickedly off-the-cuff... and hopefully unfounded... but, in the interest of passing along the thoughts that are rushing through my head as I read this... they're all here for you to laugh at!
In House of X #3, Cyclops leads his team to the Orchis Protocol Satellite to deal with the Mother Mold problem... and we learn a bit more about Krakoan diplomatic immunity. It's a great issue... and hopefully it inspires some fun conversation. Be gentle!

Morituri Mondays, Episode 28 - Strikeforce: Morituri #28 (4/89)
Monday Sep 07, 2020
Monday Sep 07, 2020
As we continue counting down to the final issue of Strikeforce: Morituri... we finally see our new "Killer Morituri" in action! Nobody's safe... especially our heroes (and their beloved Super-Train)! It's a roller coaster of an issue... cramming a whole lotta graham into just twenty-odd pages of comic!
Also: The show turns a little blue as we discuss things like snuff films and... entering the World of F.I.S.T.! Team-building, learning how to draw, kicking field goals and a whole lot more... this week, on Morituri Mondays!

Greetings, smokers, tokers, and midnight chokers! In this, the penultimate episode of Chris and Reggie's Cosmic Treadmill, we look at one of Reggie's favorite underground comix, The Collected Adventures of the Fabulous Furry Freak Bros. #1 by Gilbert Shelton, first published in 1971 by Rip-Off Press! There's Shelton's bio, and some info about Rip-Off Press, and then we go through every panel of this 48-page zonkfest, attempting to keep it cool around the fuzz. After a few words from Gilbert Shelton himself, Chris and Reggie look at the history of some drugs in the United States--and marvel at the punitive measures against them! It's a (formerly) patron-only exclusive episode, so feel free to bogart it all you like.

X-Lapsed, Episode 5 - Powers of X #3
Saturday Sep 05, 2020
Saturday Sep 05, 2020
For today's episode I am joined by a special HoX/PoX "tour guide", Jeremiah Jones-Goldstein (@bigox737) as we learn the final (?) fate of X-to-the-Second-Power... which is to say, the X-Men: Year 100 crew... as well as Moira the IX!
Jeremiah will also share some of his memories of following along with these two series'... that are one, during the Summer of 2019. It's a very fun discussion, and we hope you all enjoy!
As always, a huge thank you to everyone who reached out over the course of these first few episodes (it means more than you know!), I hope you continue to join me for my long-overdue wild ride into X-Relevancy!
If you'd like to pop on as a "HoX/PoX Tour Guide" and help this x-lapsed fella get his land legs back, please let me know!

X-Lapsed, Episode 4 - Powers of X #2
Friday Sep 04, 2020
Friday Sep 04, 2020
Welcome back, X-Perts!
Today, we're going to learn a bit more about of various Powers of X... and your humble host might just have to eat a little bit of crow. More discussion of the "rules" of comic book storytelling, and worries that everything I ever knew about the X-Men (even the inconvenient stuff) might wind up getting wiped out of continuity!
It's a (mostly) stream of conscious one-man debate... you won't wanna miss it!
And, of course - Thanks to everyone who reached out over the course of these first few episodes (it means more than you know!), I hope you continue to join me for my long-overdue wild ride into X-Relevancy!
