Marveling at Marvel's Marvels
Each week, Allen, Josef, and Jonathan discuss a comic book character (or team). Jonathan, a lifelong Marvel devotee, presents the character, their powers, and their history. Josef, who's only ever read one comic book and is significantly more grounded in reality, calls bull. And Allen, level headed voice of reason, mediates the mess.

Episode 148: Apocalypse
WARNING: this is an angry episode and may not be for everyone. Seriously, I think I can only recommend it for folks that like to listen to their parents fight. In this episode, we talk a little about Apocalypse, the first mutant, but mostly we fight. Seriously, this is a contentious episode- we spend more time arguing than discussing the character, so, yeah, this might not be a fun experience for everyone...
