NOTE: The Episode contains an important update about the future of the podcast at the end. Join your host Garhdo as they return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe after a series of less of recent critical and commercial underperformance to attempt to answer the question of if it is starting to fail? People have been predicting it for years, expecting the superhero movie bubble to burst, and many expect that time has come, although Garhdo isn’t quite as convinced. They will give their thoughts on all of the recent releases, hypothesise about what has caused Marvel Studios’s recent issues, and ponder about the future of this universe.

Join your host Garhdo as they return to telling the long and fascinating history of Marvel’s mutant superheroes the X-Men. When they left off, our mutant heroes had survived the Age of Apocalypse, the coming of Onslaught, and Bastion’s Operation: Zero Tolerance, but a new millennium brings new threats, new writers, and some of the biggest challenges mutantkind will ever face. The X-Men will learn the truth of The Twelve, encounter the deadly Cassandra Nova, do battle with the House of M, and possibly be saved by the Mutant Messiah. And throughout this Garhdo will explore the impact of some of the most influential writers of this franchise, as Grant Morrison creates the New X-Men, Chris Claremont returns, and possibly one of the worst X-Men writers ever, Chuck Austen, writes some infamous moments. 0:00 Intro 1:25 Addendums and Errata for Part 1 7:17 State of X  22:30 X-Man of Action 51:58 Magneto Rex  1:31:41 Prophecies of the Future 1:57:31 Morrison’s Mutopia 2:21:23 The Worst X-Men Writer? 2:49:55 All Around Planet X 3:14:36 Time to Astonish 3:44:11 House of M’s Decimation 4:03:03 An Endangered Species 4:44:02 The Mutant Messiah 5:00:12 Looking to the Future 5:06:43 Outro 5:10:11 Sign-Off https://linktr.ee/garhdo Season 6, Episode 3 July 11th 2025 85th Episode Music Credits OneEightFour, In The Back Room, Vinyl Couch, and Ultima Thule by Blue Dot Sessions https://www.sessions.blue

Join your host Garhdo as they discuss a recent article from Variety, and the rabbithole it sent them on connected to many ongoing talking points in fandom spaces. From online toxicity, the discussion of “woke” in fandom, the growing legions of right-wings grifters that seem to dominate fandom discourse, and even a discussion of whether it is better or worse that creators are fans of what they follow or not, all of it is here in this editorial.  Toxic Fandom: How Hollywood Is Battling Fans Who Are ‘Just Out for Blood’ — From Social Media Boot Camps to Superfan Focus Groups Across The Grifterverse 0:00 Intro 0:54 Variety’s Article and Focus Groups  4:53 What is Toxic Fandom?  17:03 The War on “Woke”  27:58 The Grifter Sphere  36:37 The Role of the Creative  51:59 Fans as Creators  1:02:42 In Conclusion  1:06:50 Outro 1:08:54 Sign-Off https://linktr.ee/garhdo Season 6, Episode 2 June 27th 2025 84th Episode Music Credits OneEightFour, In The Back Room, Vinyl Couch, and Ultima Thule by Blue Dot Sessions https://www.sessions.blue
