Is Krakoa enhancing mutants? (ft @thesmythworks) 04.09.2021

What‘s the best X-Men film? (ft @_winley_) 01.09.2021

Justin is - in a word - inspirational. In an indirect way by knowing a lot about film criticism and being able to create smooth cogent sentences, but then in the very literal way of being the first person to listen to me on the internet and one of the people who encouraged XOW.  Here we intersect and he brings his expertise to the X-world by telling us, definitively, which X-film is thee best. Run...

Do we vibe with the COTA kids? (ft @rudy_trev) 22.08.2021

Let's talk to the kids! it's been a rollercoaster with these ones. They were mutants, then they weren't.  They were adorable, then weren't. They were allies, then...well...were they?? Rudy (and his dog) join to take the temp on the book, the kids, and the future. 

What do we think of the new X-Men team? (ft @thehermeister) 19.08.2021

TEASER Who should get to kill sinister (ft @Gentcarl / @howdyduda) 12.08.2021

Here's a 10 min preview of our special episode. We talk through the many (many) ppl in line to off Talcum Bae. It gets very chaotic at the end, as they all do, but the takes are good and so is the vibe: For the full ep join us on patreon.com/xofwords 

Who‘s your embarazzing mutant crush? (ft @calebjwarren) 11.08.2021

It's my sincere wish that as few people as possible listen to this. Beyond this point is only shame. Only regret. Calebs here too. 

Who else might have killed Wanda (ft @podcastevo) 09.08.2021

So we know the usual suspects, and we know who's standing trial, but we starting wondering about who ELSE might have a shady backstory, the opportunity, or just the sheer animosity to pull up on Wanda after the Gala. I'm joined by first-time guest Lisa who is sure that you'll be scandalised by her theory! 

Is Storm‘s role as regent a blessing or a curse? (ft @rodcommathe) 06.08.2021

TEASER: Which Krakoan mutant can‘t be redeemed (ft. @unimpressedfave / @thatnerdkris / @gl2814_3)K 23.07.2021

Whew, it's a mess! Hit play as Michael , Caleb , and Kris go head to head campaigning about who's the most big fat smelling Oompa Loompa body ass bitch walking our good island! It's the clash of the assholes as we submit characters, bicker like 5 yo old siblings and BOTCH the outro. Literally, a blast to record.  Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Should mutants have a religion (ft @blckbolex) 17.07.2021

Will Cosmar change the New Mutants? (ft @Theantibinge) 26.06.2021

Can / should mutants go "home" again (ft @jcalebwarren) 09.06.2021

What if an omega-level mutant died in Amenth? (ft @dameredbento) 06.06.2021
