Husbands Talking on X is for Show

Nico and Kevo return to the Clone Wars for three stories of varying length and success! First up: the team meets Cad Bane, the world's coolest bounty hunter ('til the Mando) before returning to Smuggler's Run's Hondo. Then, the Husbands turn to the two-part Zillo monster story, which features Kaiju tropes, a George Lucas concept, a guest spot by Bail Organa, and ...uh... Palpy riding R2-D2... ugh....

The Clone Wars continue to rage through the galaxy with Nico and Kevo at the helm of the ship. The series takes an unfortunate turn back to Jar Jar for a mostly harmless Padme-centric episode before shifting gears for the final two arcs of the season! First up: a deranged Separatist scientist redevelops a long-gone virus, with Padme and Ahsoka in its crosshairs! Then, Ahsoka's first mission leads...

The Clone Wars continue to war as Nico and Kevo continue their travels through the Star Wars Galaxy! Nute Gunray took sort of slightly kind of almost center stage, as the Jedi get closer to Grievous, then: THE RETURN OF KIT FISTO! Lastly, the Jedi take on Ventress in a badass Lady Jedi Battle we all deserve! All this and more in an all-new forcelegacy.html!

Nico and Kevo find themselves with a straight run of Clone Wars, and they're covering episodes 2-7 from season one! First up: The Malevolence arc, where our ragtag crew of Jedi and Clones find themselves up against an all-powerful unbeatable ship (hmm, sounds familiar). Then, the Domino Squad return for more clone adventures with Rex and the guys before R2 is stolen and Anakin's irresponsibility n...

Clone Wars Three Ways?! The first three episodes in the Lucasfilm Clone Wars watchorder are a perfect example of the multifaceted series! First up, Nico and Kevo examine season 3's premiere, "Clone Cadets," where the guys get an EVEN BETTER idea of the Clones themselves. From there, they move two episodes further into the third season for "Supply Lines," featuring Bail Organa and Jar Jar Binks, wh...

Nico and Kevo have finally made it to the real deal start of the animated Clone Wars Saga, helmed by Star wars mastermind Dave Filoni! Ahsoka, Ventress, Ani, and Obi, as well as the clones, droids, and every Sith you can shake a saber at are here to enjoy a new era of Star Wars. The guys dissect the film and talk about its original format as four episodes eventually pushed together in an all-new ....

The Dave Filoni Clone Wars doesn't start at the beginning of the series... but it does begin at the beginning of THE WAR! The celebrated animated series doesn't adhere to a linear narrative at all times, so the .html guys kick things off with "Cat and Mouse" and "The Enemy Within," as per the Lucasfilm watch order. The guys discuss G-Level canon, the toyetic toyability of the animation, and the la...

Nico and Kevo take a last look at the final half of the Genndy Tartakovsky's Clone Wars cartoon alongside Steven, Kyle, Dylan, and Jonah, but the last hour isn't without its bumps! The crew notes the sudden change in format, episode length, and content as the series switches to a more Ani-only view, with less emphasis on the other Jedi and a pre-Filoni Grievous. Join the .html guys as they say goo...

Nico and Kevo are back for more Genndy, and they've got the entire Jedi army with them! Steven, Kyle, Dylan, and -- of course, -- Jonah, are all back to talk about more of the first animated Star Wars content in over a decade. There's more HTML Guys nonsense to be had! The team discusses the origin of Asajj Ventress, the animated WARGOD skills of Obi-Wan and Mace, and the seemingly unending opport...

It's March, and that means it's time for the .html guys to catch up on everything Marvel before the summer superhero movie season begins. The team starts by looking at the upcoming TV shows (including WandaVision, Hawkeye, Helstrom, and Falc and Winter Soldier) before turning to the movie side of things for a look at the MCU and Fox/Sony slate that may or may not tie into the MCU. Looking to get a...

Nico and Kevo's deep dig into Star Wars has brought them face-to-face with the animated series Clone Wars! That's right, Clone Wars, not *The* Clone Wars. SW:CW, no T, you guys. The two of them needed backup to take on Genndy Tartakovsky's two-week-like-hour-long-first-season-tour-de-FORCE (lol), so they brought in X is for Podcasts's Jonah! Dylan! Kyle! And Steven! Together, the six of them sit d...

Now that the team is thoroughly into the film, it's time to talk about the three main parts of the body of Attack of the Clones: the *awesome* Obi-Wan cloning stuff, the *embarrassing* Ani-mom-revenge-trash-edge-lord-garbage, and *how* is Jimmy Smits always so hot? (Seriously, it doesn't even make medical sense anymore. He's gotta be like 75 now, and he looks like a porn star. Anyway.) Nico, Kevo,...

Nico, Kevo, Jonah, and Dylan weren't dissuaded from their mission by the likes of Episode I. So, I guess they brought this one on themselves. The Star Wars universe continues to expand at an exponential rate in Episode II! But first! Forces of Destiny gives the guys a chance to talk about Padme... outside of the context of her uncomfortable love for a child. Well, okay, he's not a child anymore, a...

After an hour of defending and attempting to justify a number of the decisions made by Lucas (and Lucasfilm) in the creation of The Phantom Menace, the .html guys sit down and attempt something harder: the film itself. Kevo, using his great knowledge of the Force, helps to uncover some of the tougher material: Gungans (like Jar Jar) were forced underground (in part *by* the Jedis), trade routes ar...

Behold! The birth of Darth Vader! And his catchphrase is "oops." Witness! The beginnings of The Empire! And the whole thing hinges on a well-intentioned idiot. Discover! The marketing failed on the demographic it was directly aimed at (we have a kid from Staten Island, so you know it's honest). Nico and Kevo finally get this ball rolling on Star Wars with The Phantom Menace, and they've brought re...

Star Wars is waaay much big. It's more chiccy nuggeys than even a Baby Yoda -- SORRY, THE CHILD -- can eat. Frankly, Nico and Kevo had their asses handed to them by research for this project, leading to a sudden month-long delay to get their thoughts together, because... goddamn this is a big one. One of the most defining elements of Star Wars is the immensity and intensity of the canon and fandom...

The .html guys have been teasing Star Wars forever, and they really wanted to release the first Star Wars episode today, but then... MARVEL RELEASED A NEW MUTANTS TRAILER! The film has been restored to Josh Boone's original vision, reportedly sans reshoots. Nico and Kevo immediately dive into the two trailers and discuss what little information is known about Marvel's first mutant horror film, the...

There are wars... and then there's WRAP BATTLE! The struggle for the soul of the holidays continues to play out in Freeform's epic tale of pain, pressure, and paper. Will Eddie snatch victory from the haunting memories of a bullied childhood? Can Gigi navigate the stresses by playing a holiday by someone else's rules? Will Anita continue the tradition of charity that instilled her love of Christma...

The battle intensity intensifies! The war of winter wrapping continues! The seven contestants are tested against the power of the holidays! The second night of Freeform's giftwrapping wartime holiday extravaganza, Wrap Battle, sees betrayal! Bullies! Backtalk! For Nico and Kevo to cover this, they had to bring in Joey and Jonah, so join the guys for the second of three nights covering this amazing...

This holiday season, Nico and Kevo wanted to create some magic that couldn't be forgotten. Lo -- a gift! Freeform provided one in the form of Wrap Battle, a three-night, six-episode, nine-contestant foray into experimental art. Now, a championship reality competition about gift wrapping needs more than two hosts. Enter: Jonah! Joey! Together, this holiday foursome digs into the most magical thing...

It's a CageClub Holiday! Chestnuts, eggnog, and other two-word foods! But, of course, it wouldn't be a holiday if Nico and Kevo didn't do a little deep dork digging into the history of holiday heroics! This time, the HTML Guys take a look at all-time fave Power Rangers, and its first three holiday specials! Featuring an original holiday song to complement the contemptible kid chorus of carols, thi...

Nico and Kevo have been all over the MCU, the X-Verse, and even the Alien and Predator franchises, but now they journey long ago and... blah, blah, you know the drill. This time, though, they're going deeper than ever. Join the husbands as they take a look at every inch of audio/video Star Wars canon, from the films to the cartoons to the live-action holiday specials, on an all-new run of .html!

Nico and Kevo have spent the past few months dissecting and analyzing every aspect of the Alien and Predator universe. Now, looking back on worlds destroyed, lives ruined, and heroes born, the .html guys examine the final elements of the franchise, including the 40th anniversary short films, and count down a complete ranking of the project on an all-new episode!

One thing Nico and Kevo have come to find out about the Alien universe is just how much of it never actually happened. As discussed in its episode, Alien 3 was a multi-tiered process that took dozens of attempts to finally come to life, and the resulting product was so different from its earlier incarnations that, as part of the 40th anniversary of the film, they saw fit to release the William Gib...

The Predator franchise would stand a much better chance of success if the films ever seemed to connect. In what is (so far) the final installment of the series, The Predator would encounter a tumultuous behind-the-scenes process, costing significantly more than the previous film while yielding significantly less. The Predator is an example of a film that has no idea of its own end game or how its...
