Daunted by complex continuity? Can’t tell a mutate from a warpie? We are here for you. We have trained for this responsibility for decades. We have the backissues, the calluses, and a really detailed map of the Summers family tree. We’ve been explaining the X-Men informally for years–to our friends and family, to the Internet, and, occasionally, to patient strangers on the street. Now, we’re making it official, with Jay and Miles X-Plain the X-Men: a weekly podcast dedicated to unpacking the weird, wonderful world of our favorite superhero soap opera for newcomers and die-hard fans alike.

HAWK TALK - Hawktober
This would usually be a skip week, but the world is still being a jerk, so we made you a bonus, entirely unedited, and almost entirely off-topic episode. This time, we talked about our current, and Jay's favorite, season. Topics, roughly: Beatni(c)ks Spoopiness vs. Spookiness Fat bears Seasons (and hemispheres) Symbolism and secular ritual Jay's very specific Halloween costumes Disappointing bats Asymmetrically recognizable couples' costumes Inaccurate TMNT journalism Over the Garden Wall Costume Quest MediEvil Silent Hill playthroughs The Adventures of Pete and Pete Corn and/or mud mazes Knitting Ginger Snaps (and elaborate homages) Curious chickens Vincent Price Internal hairdo buttresses Flannel and layers and warm drinks
