Missy Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 Cerebro, which just released its 11th episode, is an amazing look into individual X-Men. Each episode begins with a little banter and a "how did you get into [X-character]", then delves into a character file, then the meat of the show. The most recent episode gets into Beast, but really the larger X-world and how the current X-books relate directly to real-world politics. It's a must-listen.

Davedevil Posted November 14, 2020 Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 Been meaning to listen to that. Related to that, I've been listening to Previously on X-Men, where they alternate between covering a comic, a movie, an episode of the 90s cartoon and a character's history each week. Radioactive Spider-Pod is also a fun show, where they cover the 90s animated series episode by episode with an older and comedic eye. Nice to hear appreciation for a show that I've always loved.

Nice to hear appreciation for a show that I've always loved. Ooh! This Election Year, I fell hardcore into 538's podcast, generally hosted by Galen Druke and infrequently including Nate Silver himself, who's provided humor by not GAF about people's thoughts on how polls work. It's pretty funny to hear him swear about people being idiots. The Ezra Klein Show also has great discussions with thoughtful people. I first heard him last year when Contrapoints was featured, but his episode this year with Stuart Stevens I found to be captivating. I've subscribed ever since.

dc20willsave Posted November 14, 2020 Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 I'll second Mike's recommendation of Cerebro. I'd also recommend the Emma Frost, Cyclops, and Iceman episodes. I spend a lot of time thinking about X-Men (it's the only weekly books I read anymore) so it's a nice way to get caught up on continuity. It's not as Deep Dive as Jay and Miles but definitely easier to cover the small stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-T Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 Not as entertaining as the takedowns of the Saw series on Earth-2 The Show, but Jigsaw as an ECW fan on We Hate Movies was hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Know Who Posted September 12, 2021 Report Share Posted September 12, 2021 If like me you dropped Cerebro for a while since the episodes were about mutants you'd never heard of or had much exposure to (such as many of the New Mutants and a few introduced in early 2000s), check episodes 49 and 50, which are about Gambit and (finally) Professor X, respectively.

Donomark Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 Pod Save America is a solid political podcast by some very funny former staffers of the Obama Administration, but goddamn if they don't have the most and longest ads I've ever heard. Most podcasts with ads have like one or two and they're typically 90 seconds, 2-3 minutes at the most. These shits go on for six minutes regular. I cannot stand it. I feel like most of the episode is me navigating through the time stamps to find out when they get back to the news discussions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 I had a similar issue with the PWTorch podcasts. I'd get the 'premium' version sell, sponsored ad (singular ad, but played 4 times in a row) and up sell again. I got curious and timed out an episode. I got something approaching 35% of the two hour show was ads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
