    Episode 18 - We Don't Talk About Beau, No No (An Emergency Pod)
    Aug 21 2024
    After a week of accusations hurled between former X-Men 97 Season 1 howrunner Beau DeMayo and Marvel, the gang takes a second to recap the whirlwind of events and decides collectively to only focus on the facts from here on, so this is probably the last episode we'll ever mention BD's name again on the show. Hopefully things work out for the best for everyone involved, but right now it looks ugly, with threats of litigation flying fast and furious. We dig into the rumors and try to make sense of it all on Episode 18. We just want good cartoons!
