Geeks Unleashed Conversations: X-Men

Here we are, nearing the end of the world we've been talking about for most of 2024! In this conversation episode, we're joined by the Geeks Unleashed OG Stephen Fox and our good friend and fellow Bad Batch buddy, Phable from One Collection Down! We're talking all things X-Men -- from the books that started it all to the the 1992 cartoon to our favorite (and least favorite) films in the franchise. Join us!
