x-men the animated series

This week the trivia questions almost kill me. They're funnier than the jokes on The Bad Batch! We also talk about a whole bunch of news, including some wild Fantastic Four rumors that people are straight making up. Just pulling right from their bholes.

All of that goes until 40:03, and then we get to the meat of the X-Men episode, which sees Wolverine getting out of a car in a way no person ever has before. More than that, this episode brings in complicated elements of Marvel Comics continuity related to Rogue's origin that it didn't have to, and you gotta respect that. 

Thank you for listening! We shall return next week! 

This episode of X-Men is just us watching Cable watch an episode of X-Men. Very meta! Cable is in a crummy future and must, for some reason, decide whether to stop it from ever happening. The Legacy Virus makes its animated debut, and we go on an extensive side journey through racial slurs for white people.

Plus: news! Although you know you want to hear the list of racial slurs, that's really the selling point of the episode.

We shall be back next week! In the meantime, come join us on the Patreon - www.patreon.com/cinemasangha - and get more podcasts and become a member of our Discord, where a great community has formed. Come hang out!

This week I yell at my cat live on mic! In the spirit of transparency in which I try to operate I left it in, as well as Derek disapproving of how I deal with the cat. Are other Marvel podcasts brave enough to do this?

It's a Gambit-centric episode of X-Men, and we don't like Gambit! However, this show is so reliably goofy that we had a great time. Also: I talk about being a sweaty weirdo at the book store, Derek gives COVID updates and we talk about all the news, including the new The Marvels trailer. If you don't care about that, skip to 40:52.

Thanks for listening and we will see you next week!

Eh you hoser, it's time to head to the Great White North as this episode tackles more of Wolverine's origin. Alpha Flight shows up, and so do some very sad robots. 

We also go very, very long on the intro. Very long. Like, skip to 51: 47 if you don't want all kinds of news and views and to hear Derek get upset about using the soundboard. 

Next week: more X-Men! In the meantime, join the Patreon and vote for which movie we cover next on Watch Men, our monthly superhero deep dive podcast. This month we're offering two options - Bloodshot, a superhero movie, and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, not a superhero movie but it has a big Guardians of the Galaxy vibe. Go to www.patreon.com/cinemasangha and join today!

Hey, we're back. Remember us? It's been a bit of an unintended break, but we have returned with an episode of X-Men that has no bearing on modern politics at all, one where Russian fascists try to reabsorb old nations from the USSR. Totally unrelatable in 2023. 

But first we have a lot of BSing to do! 49 solid minutes of it! If you don't want to hear us talking news and nonsense, skip right to 49:25 and be spared the life updates and our thoughts on Kevin Feige staying in his office while Victoria Alonso was fired. 

We will be back next week with another episode of the animated adventures of the X-Men - thanks for listening!

This podcast has somehow hit 100 episodes, believe it or not, and we celebrated by doing a live chat with listeners on our Discord. Where, you ask, is our Discord? Why it's accessible to all subscribers on the Patreon - even those at the $1 level! - and it's a pretty great place where people hang out and chat and, today at least, share pictures of their cute as hell dogs. 

We tried to make this as inclusive as possible, but there are bits where we are laughing at and interacting with comments left live by listeners. It was pretty great, and everybody had a nice time, and we answered a whole bunch of questions . They ranged from questions about us as people to questions about the Marvel movies and comic books in general - just good old fashioned nerd shit. And there are live technical difficulties - you can't get any realer than that!

In fact we had so much fun with this (and with an unrecorded test run where Derek and I argued about Creed III) that I'm thinking of making this a regular feature for subscribers. What are you waiting for? Subscribe today at www.patreon.com/cinemasangha!

This week the X-Men are globetrotters, as our storylines take them to Africa, Brazil and Antartica. Morph gets sexy with Wolverine! Rogue throws a boulder at some smoke! Professor X gets snow on his head!

Also: we talk about all the comic book movie news, including speculating about where Shang-Chi will show up next, and also I reveal who I heard Steve Yuen is playing in Thunderbolts. Let's see if I'm right!

If you don't care about that, skip to 37:09.

Next episode is our 100th, and we are going to celebrate with a live show on the Discord (it will be recorded for the feed). You, the listeners, will get to chat with us during the show and ask us any questions you like - but you have to be in the Discord! To do that simply become a subscriber at www.patreon.com/cinemasangha - even $1 a month gets you access to the Discord. 

Thanks for listening and hope to see you on the Discord!

Scott and Jean are married? But are they? Or has the worst happened and they are actually living in sin? Scott will never be the same. This is the episode that introduces Mister Sinister and his, I swear to God, Nasty Boys. It's also the episode that raises the question of what Sinister was doing cruising the park in full costume at night.  Al Pacino, is that you?

We also catch up on our lives, including the crazy weather that's been happening. There's news as well - we hear about the round brown (you gotta listen to find out) and Quantumania's not so great record breaking feat this week. If you don't care about that skip right to 34:22.

By the way, as we approach the 100th episode of this show we are playing with the idea of doing a live episode on the Cinema Sangha Discord. If you want to participate you have to be a subscriber- even as low as one dollar a month! Head to www.patreon.com/cinemasangha to sign up and get access today. 

Thanks for listening!

Scott and Jean get married, and Wolverine is not too happy about it. Also not happy: Morph, who it turns out did not die in series pilot but has been hanging around in the same pair of clothes ever since. All of this happens as anti-mutant hysteria reaches critical levels, and Beast is starting to wonder if he should have stayed in jail. 

In the intro we do lots of news, including The Flash trailer, whether or not there's a Young Avengers project coming to the MCU and reports that, despite the trailers, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is funny after all. Don't care about all  that? Skip to 47:00.

If you want to chat with fellow listeners about this episode and other dorky stuff, join our Patreon, which gives you access to the Discord. It's a fun, nice and hopping place and you can get in at just $1 a month. Head to www.patreon.com/cinemasangha for more info.

Thanks for listening and see you again next week! 

After many weeks away we return to X-Men: The Animated Series, and it’s the season one finale. It’s a big one - how big? So big that Professor X does a suicide bombing mission in a plane full of clearly marked TNT. It’s wild. 

Before that we have a very lengthy news segment. We talk about Marvel’s Midnight Suns, a new Marvel superheroes video game that we both love and that is much weirder than you think it might be. We talk about how It’s ok for ant-man to go big after two movies of smaller, lower stakes films. We argue about how old Doctor Doom should be in the upcoming Fantastic Four movie and whether or not he should still have been Reed Richards’ college roommate. And we spend a bunch of time talking about the idea that there is too much Marvel stuff, an idea not backed by reality and an idea shot down by the incredible diversity at the box office right now. If you don’t care about any of these topics skip to 55:02 to get right to Professor X doing 9/11.

We shall return next week for our 97th episode of this show! We are rapidly approaching 100 - should we do something special to mark the occasion? Let us know what you think. 

Thanks for listening and see you next week!

This week we mourn the ways the world has changed, making Quik and Twinkies worse than ever before. We talk about MIdnight Sons, which is essentially an Avengers friendship simulator, and we discuss why it's cool that Ant-Man gets to go from being a between phases palate cleanser to being the big kick-off of Phase Five. And there's some really astonishing trivia this week as well. 

Don't care about that? Skip to 36:16 and listen to us talk about the second part of the animated Days of Future Past saga, including many burp jokes (that the show makes, not us), Wolverine's best lines and how this might have been better if it had been a predestination paradox story. 

Next week: the finale of season one of X-Men: The Animated Series!

The animated series tackles one of the most famous X-Men stories of all, a story that has inspired countless imitators and even a movie - Days of Future Past! But they meld the story with another time traveling plot, introducing face-tattooed Bishop to the gang. 

This week we talk about the news out there in comic book movie land, including the latest scuttlebutt about Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and.... how people are mad about the runtime of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania? Yes, how people are mad about the runtime of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. 

If you don't care about the news and the updates about our lives, go to 31:25. But if you do, you'll miss the announcement of my newest podcast, The Force Is With You, a show that will look at the connection between Star Wars and world religions. It's actually fun, and the second episode is about Yoda and a sex cult. It will only be available to subscribers at www.patreon.com/cinemasangha, so get your subscription today and don't miss an episode!

A quick note: we recorded this episode before it was revealed that Jeremy Renner had been in a serious accident, which is why we make no mention of it. Our thoughts are with him and his family.

This week on MarvelVision we cover the 10th episode of X-Men: The Animated Series, which introduces the Four Horsemen and also a guy who has a Chia Pet growing on his head or something. Hard to know with this show.

We also cover some news, including the latest James Gunn stuff, and I am deeply impressed by the latest Marvel Comics crossover, AXE: Judgment Day. It's so good I spoil it!

Want to tell us we're wrong about something we said this week? Want to talk to other listeners of this podcast? We have a Discord now! Join the Patreon at www.patreon.com/cinemasangha to get access and to get into the conversation. It's actually quite good. 

Thank you and we will see you again next week!

Enter... Apokolips! In all his clown make-up glory. 

This week's episode gets us a Rogue origin, the introduction of even more mutants, the anti-climactic resolution of the mystery of Professor X's disappearance and Cable doing a big scare from behind both a book shelf and a door.

Also this week: Devin went to the Avengers Campus at Disneyland and he talks about the experience!

Also this week: a surprise discussion of Yellowstone, one of the wildest shows on TV. 

Thanks for listening! We will be off next week, but if you subscribe at the $5 and above level you'll get to listen to us talk about Batman: Mask of the Phantasm on our show Watch Men! Subscribe at www.patreon.com/cinemsangha.

Half the X-Men are in serious trouble and the other half of the X-Men are trying to make long distance phone calls! This week the Genosha two-parter concludes as Gambit betrays all of his friends and we get a veritable cornucopia of cameos from the likes of Sunfire, the Blob, Domino and more. 

On the other side of things: we have some Marvel and DC movie and TV news, including new Loki season two tidbits, some new Flash stuff and I reveal what character Marvel is looking to bring in for Avengers: Secret Wars. Also: the joys of Watermelon Sour Patch Kids. If you don't care about any of that stuff, skip to 20:33. 

We will return next week with the next episode of X-Men The Animated Series. Thank you for listening!

This episode Wolverine and Sabertooth duke it out in the Arctic while making the lives of a bunch of Inuit absolutely miserable. Meanwhile, Gambit, Storm and Jubilee go on vacation to the island nation of Genosha and Gambit doesn't take off his jacket one time.

Before all of that we talk news and other junk, including the latest box office, the shocking return of Bob Iger to Disney and how Black Adam has gone from the disruptor of power in the DC Universe to, according to the Rock, a baby that needs to be nursed.

If you don't care about that stuff skip to 39:07. Next week we will not be doing an X-Men: The Animated Series episode, as we will be doing Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. We will pick up this week's scintillating cliffhanger in two weeks!

As always, thanks for listening! 

On this edition of our interview series we have the pleasure of interviewing Emmy Award-winning Writer Brooks Wachtel!  We chat about Mojovisions, Magic Castles, Fairy Tales, Phoenix's and much more!  Brooks also enlightens us on the inner workings of the animation and TV industry!  

Don't miss this exciting discussion and also be sure to check out the novel Lady Sherlock: Circle of the Smiling Dead written by Brooks Wachtel.

Gotta let you know up front that there is a character in this episode of X-Men who has a fairly racist name. The 20th century was just kinda like that sometimes.

It's not even a particularly good episode! It semi-adapts a great storyline from the comics featuring the Morlocks (many of whom were later brutally slain) but it doesn't have the bonkers je ne sais quoi of the first few eps of the series. That said, this episode is a gold mine of moments that have become modern memes, including the most famous one of all.

We talk news and stuff for the first 18 minutes and 35 seconds, so skip that if you don't want to hear our opinions on all the exciting stuff happening in the world of comic book movies.

By the way - a new Watch Men drops tomorrow, and we will be talking about Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, You don't want to miss it! It will be available only to subscribers at the $5 and above levels at www.patreon.com/cinemasangha. Join now!

So terrifying it's worth saying twice!  This episode we review The Dark Phoenix Part 3: The Dark Phoenix!  It's the first half of a double header X-Fans!  What a beautiful day for it for it too!.. Would you look at that sunrise... it's rising fast. 

 And with wings!  Oh no!
