Ep. 310 - Longshot

The Boyz are here to take a MOJO FILLER episode and make it a MOJO THRILLER. That's right, Mojo's back and this time he's invading earth looking to hunt down that intergalactic heartthrob and the 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're gonna have a blast.

Ep 309: Obsession

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. The name is X-Boyz. Remember it!

Ep 308: No Mutant Is An Island (ft. Charlie Mosher)

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 intended release. More fun facts like this inside! Come on in!

Ep 206: X-Ternally Yours

Good gravy! The X-Boyz are stirring up their finest pot of gumbo as they cover a very special Gambit-charged episode of XMTAS: "X-Ternally Yours."
