Theory of X

Leisure EN ↓ 4 avsnitt

Theory of X uses pop culture to exemplify, explain, and explore an idea that might seem merely academic, boringly abstract, or potentially politically explosive in a fun, engaging way. Each episode of Theory of X discusses a broad topic – a cultural, theoretical, or social phenomenon (like, say, “Feminism,” “Marxism,” or “Social Media”) in relation to superhero comics, genre television, or a favorite movie series.

TOX.1.4 - Donna Troy and Love with Phil Jimenez 31.05.2026 3:21:02

I explain Eisner Award-winning creator, Phil Jimenez's, most defining work (Wonder Woman, Amazonia) to him, and he responds politely. As a bonus, we talk about Wonder Woman and Faith; behind the scenes tea on DC's blockbuster Y2K mini-series, Infinite Crisis, and some of the motivations behind Phil's defining runs on Wonder Woman, Tempest, and JLA/Titans. We even dish on the industry politics of...

TOX.1.3 - X-Men's Rogue and Reparative Justice with J. Andrew Deman 22.03.2026 1:55:49

Eisner Award-winning researcher ( The Claremont Run: Subverting Gender in the X-Men ) and the mastermind behind my absolute favorite Twitter/X account, @ClaremontRun, Andrew Deman joins the show to discuss the X-Woman closest to my heart, Rogue, as a case study in reparative justice, the idea that law should seek to repair the damage wrought by crime and systemic injustice not only through restitu...

TOX.1.2 - X-Men's The Dark Phoenix Saga and BDSM with Monica Geraffo 09.01.2026 2:55:16

Today's episode discussing the greatest X-Men story of all time, the Dark Phoenix Saga, and BDSM features my brilliant mentee, Monica Geraffo. Monica is something a renaissance woman - a fashion professional, co-host of the VoxPopCast, and PhD Candidate in Theatre and Performance Studies - so her thoughts are layered, scintillating, and unapologetically MATERIALIST. Her fetish is for what you can...

TOX.1.1 - X-Men's The Phoenix Saga and Second Wave Feminism with Ramzi Fawaz 07.12.2025 1:28:28

This podcast is a little engine that might, pulling out of the station with a clunky adhd addled engine fueled by nothing other than insistent sisterhood, expensive ideas, and cheap gags. We are starting off with a discussion about a forever fave, Uncanny X-Men's Phoenix Saga as a case study in second wave feminism (think 1970's, Row v. Wade et al), with my mentor and soul-sister, Ramzi Fawaz, who...
