What, you were expecting black leather? Josie and Becca marathoned the first season of X-Men 97 to prep for today’s launch of Season 2, and they had a wild ride, sugah! They're joined by Pop Heist's Brett White to discuss the ins and outs of the show, especially how it integrates Grant Morrison's writing to the world of the 90s. What happens when you remix storylines in new and weird ways? How can you discuss genocide and trauma in a show that aired on Disney Plus? How does Wolverine sound to the completely uninformed? And of course...we learn a bit about what Black Francis was singing about. Listen and get ready for Season 2!
