The logo for the SubteXtMen podcast. It features the words “Subtext Men” in classic red and blue comics font on top an archaic looking speech bubble. The words “a podcast” are in white below the speech bubble. The speech bubble extends from a red and blue book in classic comics style. The background is green with blue speckles ala old school comics coloring.

Welcome to SubteXtMen, a podcast focused on the literary adventures of Marvel’s merry mutants! Join your host, Chapman Blake, as they work alongside a plethora of wonderful guests to bring you monthly recaps of the X-Men’s adventures in prose.

Oh Gosh, Oh Golly, Oh Wow was hosted by three collegiate academics analyzing every issue of Excalibur, and it remains one of my favorites! Graymalkin Lane is queer focused and covers the early stuff Jay and Miles sped through, and X-Men Horoscopes is great to get to know X-adajacent folks!

Had a full on Braun’s orange sherbert phase growing up, it’s truly incredible

Oooh, what does the card do?

May need a signed copy of the instagram meme dump from today, tbh

Gutted that I’ll be nearby but can’t make it due to work! Wishing you both a great signing down here in the Metroplex!

"These are kids who will never pay taxes," Kennedy declared. "They'll never hold a job. Theyl never play baseball. They'Il never write a poem. They'll never go out " on a date. Many of them will never use a toilet unassisted. We have to recognize doing this to our children. we are

RFK Jr. wants to eradicate autistic people and also has no idea what an autistic person is

young Walton Goggins as Longshot is my dream

Rizzion was taken, I guess

Always loved how Forearm reads as “guy who is only a terrorist because he can’t pass enough to have an office job”, especially when you see him opposite Dani

Jesse is insufferable young guy in his 20s who really needs a friend representation, and Domino tries so hard to make him more chill, but it does not work, lmao

Both a great review, and a description of some shit child me would eat tf up, so I don’t feel bad for all the millennials guys I’ve said, “oh this one’s great” to at my job (I say that about every movie I remotely recognize, tbf. Half of retail feels like I’m a live action sensory video for adults)

Only saw Super 8 as a kid and thought it rocked, what was your take?

Palinuk has gone on record saying the movie is exactly what he wanted the book to be, and that it’s better, but I strongly disagree with old Chuck

The 11th essay in this collection is exactly that, but specifically with a certain studio’s superhero themed ones! Highly recommend the whole book!

I think your version of Mystery Inc. would absolutely slap

Saw one stop in the MIDDLE of a roundabout and wave someone on who was supposed to be yielding, lmao

Bobby? I think you mean…

I don’t see a lot of people saying it, but one huge difference between latchkey/TV/console kids, even 00s internet, is the inherent design and curation put into that programming vs the Wild West that is YouTube content farms. Scripted sitcoms with some lessons =\= Elsa impregnates Sonic videos

Both incredibly jealous of the Beths and wishing I had seen Walk the Moon as well!

a man with long gray hair is eating something ALT: a man with long gray hair is eating something

I think they’ve gotta ditch his “device that sucks energy” and show him eating planets like this in the very first trailer

This joke has been in my head for weeks, I’m so thankful for you rn!

Fair assessment!

What’s your take on her statements re-prisons and pardoning drug offenders? I might be rocking old talking points from 2020 and am def not trying to be divisive! Just curious about your take since I know it’ll be well informed cause of your job!

Sigourney Weaver as Warden Walker in the cinematic MASTERPIECE that is Holes (2003). Jon Voight as Mr. Sir is in the foreground, while three of the teenage inmates stand in the background along with the grounds keeping truck.

Me, when I’m a Holes woman

10 years into the pod and suddenly you start pulling for that elusive Rodgers and Hammerstein Foundation sponsorship? Jay is all about that long game, folks!

Yeah, her big break was Uncut Gems, but she’s got a kid, too, so I think she’s just stayed in the New York scene post-Kanye, who she dated partially as an “I can fix him” attempt that she seems to now regret. I never saw UG, but I heard she’s a great actress, so fingers crossed she does something

Julia Fox? She’s continued to be popular in modeling/influencer scenes, mostly in NYC from what I understand. She also just did an interview with Charlie xcx cause she’s referenced in the chorus of a huge single off her new album, Brat, called 360. Very popular with gen Z and below, tbh

He’s giving cis Sam Smith, here

Saving this as an inspo board for a Paladin + Bard multiclass who’s patron is the spirit of 2013
