X-Boyz (An X-Men The Animated Series Podcast)

With great power comes great liability. Especially when you're a reality-shifting, body-snatching, energy-sapping teenager who's never seen the outside world. That's Kevin aka PROTEUS , a mutant who escapes from the research lab of the woman who puts the "ex" in Professor X -- Moira McTaggert. It's up to Xavier and the squad to help her track down this dangerous mutant (a...

For a long time, the boyz have asked the question, what would the world be like without Xavier? Well, this week’s mega two-parter explores a dark future where the Professor isn’t around to fight for mutant rights. A timeline where Magneto has a beard and Beast hates literature. A place where Wolverine and Storm are… in love?! This sounds like a job for Bishop. And back, of course, along with him,...

The title says it all: NIGHTCRAWLER IS HERE . Wolverine, Gambit, and Rogue's ski vacation turns into a demon-hunting quest when local villagers claim a devilish blue boy is creeping around their holy town. But is he truly a villain? Or is their prejudice the real evil? Does Nightcrawler's teleportation cloud leave behind a stench? This and more, only on X-Boyz.

Oh, boy, it's another solo Cyclops episode. And this time it's a Wild West bonanza. When Scott flies to a desert town to look for an old friend, he winds up stranded and powerless in a militant town run by a ruthless mutant leader. Cyke's gotta prove his leadership chops if he hopes to inspire the peaceful mutant townspeople to strike back against subjugation. Join The Boyz as they tak...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! For countless episodes, The Boyz have shaken their fist at the sky and screamed "WHERE'S MORPH?!" At long last, we proudly present the return of our favorite shape-shifting, wise-cracking X-Man. And he's brought a few of our favorite Season One friends with him. Is Morph ready to re-join the squad or do sinister thoughts still plague him? Are he and Wolverine st...

When an old enemy from the past makes Xavier lose himself, the X-Men soon find themselves facing off with an evil version of their fearless leader. Join The Boyz as they discuss Professor X’s favorite subject: himself.

Oh, Magnus... Where have you been? Well, it turns out our long lost friend Magneto was cooking up his boldest plan yet in his quest to save mutantkind. Set your Blackbird coordinates for Asteroid M. You’re in for a double-whammy two-parter filled with Ex-friends, Ex-lovers, and X-Boyz.

We're back in the USSR! Omega Red returns with revenge on his mind. And revenge is a dish best served up icy cold at the bottom of the ocean where a nuclear submarine is set to launch warheads that could destroy the entire world. It's straight up Mission Impossible time and the Boyz are here to light the fuse. But they're gonna need a team of experts (like special guest Content Dracula...

THE BOYZ ARE BACK. And so is Juggs. It's been a while but Andrew, Henry and John are here to talk about new fan favorite Eugene, a cool elevator security guard and yell at each other about Professor Xavier's backstory in the season 4 premiere.

Season 3 was 19 episodes that packed an intergalactic punch so powerful it would knock Gladiator out of his cute lil' space boots. So the Boyz are here to set the record straight on where our core nine X-Men stand for some power rankings. But wait... there's more! It wouldn't be a season wrap-up without some head-to-head draft warfare and this time we're each choosing a team of 4 X...

It's the Season 3 Finale, " Love in Vain!" Rogue's got a rendezvous with an ex-man of hers when her highschool sweetheart Cody shows up. Join Andrew, Henry, and John as they bring this intergalactic season to a fitting close with extraterrestrial invasion featuring space whales, The Brood, and a lean, green Wolverine.

Happy belated Father's Day because "Daddy's home." Cyke's daddy, that is. Join the Boyz and a special guest as they dive into the penultimate Season 3 Episode, Orphan's End. Will Scott narc on his intergalactic outlaw father to the Shi'ar authorities? Will Storm wear her hair up or down? Blastoff with a high-flying episode that's so fun you might just feel like you're flying, too.

The Boyz bring parts 3 and 4 of the Dark Phoenix Saga to a close. Jean's Daddy comes home. Gladiator and Lillandra return for a showdown of the ages, and Professor X puts the X-Men's lives on the line (yet again.) Truly awesome. 

The wait is over. Join the Boyz as they cover a most beloved chapter in XMTAS -  The Dark Phoenix pts. 1 and 2: Dazzled and The Inner Circle . Jean's back but the Pheen (Phoenix) is still raging inside her. Cyke's got *sparks* with another woman. Jean finally gets married (and it ain't to Scott). And most importantly - Wolverine eats a turkey leg.

Hold onto your pterodactyls, cuz you're about to get a double-dose of danger as the Boyz cover  Savage Land, Strange Heart Parts 1 and 2 . What makes this multi-climated warring world tick? Why is there a witch worshipping a giant stone head? Since when are Storm's powers out of control? Should we care about any of this? You may need a drink for this one. We certainly did.

Like the famous Eugene O'Neil play from 1946: The Iceman Has Comed. Bobby Drake a.k.a. that sleet surfin' S.O.B. makes his long-awaited debut in COLD COMFORT and the Boyz couldn't be more thrilled. Why'd he quit the X-Men? Who's his ex-girlfriend and why is her hair so green? Is she single? Why is she so perfect?  Questions like this and more shall be discussed and answered by...

The Boyz are here to take a MOJO FILLER episode and make it a MOJO THRILLER. That's right, Mojo's back. This time he's invading Earth and looking to hunt down that intergalactic heartthrob and titular character of this week's ep - Longshot . It's up to Wolverine, his cowboy hat, and the rest of the X-Men to stop a most unwelcome invasion of genetically engineered lunatics. I swear to Gog you'...

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a weaponized mutant bloodthirsty for revenge! IT'S ARCHANGEL . After a sub par episode in the series, the Boyz are happy to report that we're flying high again with an all-timer -- "Obsession." Beast falls in love with Siri. Rogue has a crazy crush that ain't a cajun. And Apocalypse gets so big that your tiny televisions back in '94 couldn't even contain him. T...

Cyclops quits the X-Men! And hey, we don't blame him. This episode is kind of a stinker. But the X-Boyz are here to turn these lemons (bad XMTAS episode) into lemonade (a wildly enjoyable X-Boyz episode). And what better way to celebrate the worst episode of the series with our very worst special guest yet. "No Mutant Is An Island" is an anomaly of an episode that aired over two years after its in...

The Phoenix Saga CONCLUDES!   PARTS FOUR AND FIVE  of the 5-part Phoenix extravaganza. We got Starjammers. We got space crystals. We got Cyclops playing a game of catch with his old man. Not to mention the most heartbreaking farewell since Morphy boy. Join us as we pay tribute to one of the most beloved X-storylines to date. Trust us when we say you "don't want to miss a thing." -Ae...

The Phoenix Saga BEGINS! Slam your rods together and join the Boyz as they blast off to outer space for PARTS ONE THROUGH THREE of the 5-part Phoenix extravaganza (Parts 4 and 5 next week). Will our X-Men be able to stop a power-hungry emperor? (And no, we aren't talking about Dark Professor X) Can Jean cream the competition or will she have to dig deeper and... evolve? Here comes a juggernaut-siz...

IT'S SEASON 3, MON AMI. In the Summer of 1994, XMTAS kicked off their third season with what series co-creator Eric Lewald called "a pre-season sneak preview" -- two action-packed episodes on one mondo-rad VHS tape. And that two-part episode was none other than "Out of the Past," a fan-adored episode that claws deeper into Wolvy's history with his ex-lover Yuriko a.k.a. Lady Deathstrike a.k.a. Not...

SEASON TWO FINALE EXTRAVAGANZA! Swing through the Savage Land with your favorite nasty Boyz as we bring a most Sinister season to a close with Reunion pts. 1 and 2. And wait! There's Mor(ph)! Stick around for a special mutant draft VILLAIN EDITION. The Boyz honor our fiendish season 2 cover art by each drafting teams of the most evil mutants ever assembled. Vote on your favorite on Twitt...

Once upon a time Henry, John, and Andrew had three separate pods that combined to form one glorious pod -- THE X-BOYZ. And this was all thanks to one man: MOJO. Join us as we celebrate the X-BOYZ: ORIGINS and put the "ultimate" in "penultimate" with "Mojovision," Episode 11 of Season 2 of XMTAS. Please like and subscribe (Mojo's watching). We love Mojo... And here's hoping that, by the end of...

Beast's in love. Wolvy's in disguise. You're in for a great episode. Join the Joy Boyz, Andrew, Henry and John as they recap, reminisce, and ramble about Season 2 Episode 10 of XMTAS: "Beauty and the Beast." We don't have any guests this time so please hang out with us. We're so lonely.
