Time for the Action Pack to discuss first impressions of the new game, how the latest entry in the series fits into the eras of Zelda, and how this game could change the Zelda timeline. From novice to expe...

After nearly a decade of cosmic capers and stellar shenanigans, it's time for the Guardians' goodbye. It’s crossed three titular films, several cameos throughout other Marvel titles, a Holiday Special, two theme park rides, and countless comic relaunches in between (oh, and the its-better-than-Avengers-RPG). Join the Action Pack as we review the highs and lows of their contributions, and speculate...

What is a “Final Fantasy”? And if it’s so double-effing-final, how are there 15 … plus like 100 more?!

The eternal question: Star Trek or Star Wars? Some of us pick both, and that definitely goes for us at X Is For Show!

Now, the guys were away and enjoying an incredible shore weekend but that didn’t stop them from broadcasting...

A lot has changed since the last time Nico & Kevo tackled the MCU - not just the films and shows, but also the schedule and strategy for how they were released. In this episode recorded back in April, the Action Pack discussed what we were supposed to get in Phase 4, what we ended up getting, how Phase 5 started off, and what we might expect from the Marvel Cinematic Universe as it continues to ev...

The Action Pack has been expanding and exploring new ground when it comes to our content, and this week we’re bringing you something even more wildly different than usual.

We haven't even finished our State Of The MCU Address and Marvel is already changing things up! In this episode, we discuss all of the exciting Marvel Studios projects coming to Disney+ in 2021, as well as a few recent changes from our previous episode's 6 Films In 12 Months.

Husbands Talking More or Less is back! After some technical difficulties due to cosmic rays, Nico & Kevo are returning to their CageClub roots by revisiting the Marvel Cinematic Universe for their annual State Of The MCU Address. A lot has changed since our last one -- in fact, almost everything has! In Part 1, we discuss the currently-scheduled six films being released within 365 days. Up next: t...

Our spacey space heroes return once more to the origin of the Fantastic Four -- this time in its best known and probably most well-liked incarnation. Here, Reed is less dad-joke hokey, while Ben is (slightly) more than just rock puns. However, the main feature of this film are the twin sexy storms that are the Storm siblings -- Johnny & Sue., here played by Chris Evans & Jessica Alba. Nico, Kevo,...

Nico & Kevo -- best friends, like Reed & Ben; a happy couple, like Sue & Red; occasionally Nico drives Kevo so crazy they may as well be Johnny & Ben. But now, to cover a movie QUITE LIKE THIS, they need help from Joey Lewandowski (2F2F, Hanx For The Memories) & Jess Collins (unicornmusings.com) -- and together, the four of them endeavor to discuss the Roger Corman FF, but ultimately, Nico spends...

HTML guys, Nico & Kevo welcome back Jonah & Matty to talk The Thing ring, then play an Fantastic Four roster game!

Nico & Kevo are back at it -- and they've brought in reinforcements. Along with Jonah & Matty of X Is For Podcast, the foursome brave the world of the Fantastic Four's earliest cartoon incarnations, and delve into the 60s and 70s camp and sass of the World's Greatest Comic Magazine's world-stage debut in an all new HTML!

Nico & Kevo take a summer-long detour from Star Wars to experience a different kind of adventure in space involving a very different kind of cosmic power. The two combined their nerdom to foray into one of the most uneven, underappreciated and confusing comic film franchises ever, The Fantastic Four. Together, along with a number of contributors from across their shows, networks, and media, they'r...

This is it. Nico & Kevo have been doing this for 100 episodes, so here's the best of their lost media. Covering the best of Marvel, Fox-Marvel, I guess some DCEU?, AlienPredator, Wrap Battle, Power Rangers, & Star Wars, this episode is an episode.

Nico and Kevo remain on their game, taking the Clone Wars arc by arc... and that drives them straight into the heart of season four! The Droids get an adventure that warms the hearts of the HTML Guys, a dark Jedi darkens the clone's doorsteps, and Anakin and Ahsoka face the truth of their pasts. The guys take a look at design, character arc, and plot as they dissect the midpoint of the Clone Wars!...

Nico and Kevo are officially at the midway point no matter how you look at it; whether you use the chronological list or the airing order, the .html guys are 50% through the Clone Wars project, and these three arcs deliver a multitude of Star Wars mega-moments. First up: a cadre of Jedi come together for a mission connected to Evan Piell, the mysterious Jedi Prison the Citadel, and some REAL ridic...

Nico & Kevo hit the Mortis multiparter, and man do they love it! A Force God, his kids, some severe eye-makeup, and a powerful progression for Anakin make for three unforgettable episodes. For their part, Nico & Kevo break down the breakdown on these episodes from their creative team to their legacy. Plus, they continue their stream of pop-culture infusion, predictions, and meta-reads that has kep...

Nico and Kevo are back for more Clone Wars, and things are getting good! First up: the husbands dissect an arc that places Padme in the center of the Separatist movement and directly into harm's way! Then, what the guys have been waiting for: Ventress's backstory and the Night Sisters. The series takes an unexpected (but tremendous) turn toward mysticism and fantasy as magic turns the Star Wars un...

Believe the headlines! The HTML Guys continue their chronological-not-production-watch-order of Clone Wars with a series of episodes that actually do vaguely change the series. First up: the Jedi square off against Grievous and Ventress, then clones everywhere! Then, join in for a three part arc aired... two... seasons... apart? Nico and Kevo FINALLY hit the season one finale, and thus meet Cad Ba...

The HTML Guys continue to cross a galaxy far, far away with stories from a long time ago in two three-part Clone Wars arcs, both chock full of Mandalorian madness! First up: a story featuring a young Boba Fett on a mission of revenge against Mace Windu, helmed predominantly by Buffy scribes! Then, all the Satine you can handle as Nico and Kevo join Ahsoka and Padme to help Satine uncover the trait...

The Clone Wars rages into some TOP QUALITY STORIES, and Nico and Kevo buckle up! First up, Grievous returns to mess Obi-Wan up -- introducing us to a ton of new Jedi -- before sending things over to Clones for a story about freewill and whether or not a Clone deserves a life of their own! Next, the HTML Guys discuss the ins-and-outs of Ahsoka losing her lightsaber, question why she can't just forc...

The .html Guys barrel into a Clone Wars 5-parter featuring some familiar concepts and inspirations unusual to the Star Wars Universe. Whether it's the Queen... bug... monster... thing thing on Geonosis (a loving tribute to .html classic AvP!), or it's the just-this-side-of-Animorphs brain-controlling worms resulting in (more or less) zombies, this episode pushes Star Wars into new directions as th...
