The Gambit Spotting Podcast

Join the Gambit Spotters  Meg, Vonnie, Riley and Liv, as they tackle the Muir Island Saga! Today they’re going to discuss gladiator fights, terrible parenting, retcon meetings, Mystique doing mystique shit, awful Scottish/Irish/English accents, jacket flaps, and how Jubilee really needs to STFU sometimes. Also, where are Rogue’s clothes and why is she the only one losing them? This episode’s smash or pass watches them struggle with an unusually old looking ripped-uniform Gambit.Don’t forget to like and subscribe! Questions?

In this episode of the Gambit Spotting Podcast, Meg, Vonnie, Riley and Liv delve into the first couple of alternate universe (AU) Gambits! Covered in this episode: the Gambit from What If…? #46, and the character we loved to hate: that enigmatic bastard, The Witness, from Earth-1191! Join them as they realize why Cable was probably not a better leader choice than storm, try to make sense of the Witnesses continuity, and figure out why Bishop has such a hard-on for Gambit in the 90s.
