We're back at it again, having another quarantine discussion about a long running film franchise and splitting into multiple parts! We're talkin' Trek. Mostly covering the even numbered entries, but we couldn't help but talk the odds as well. Star Trek movies discussed in this episode: The Motion Picture, The Wrath of Khan, The Search for Spock, The Undiscovered Country, and Generations.

35 - XYZ: The Wrath of Podcast (Star Trek: TOS Movies Part 1)

This is the way the X-Men movie franchise ends. This is the way the X-Men movie franchise ends. This is the way the X-Men movie franchise ends. Not with a bang, but with a whimper. In the wake of Avengers: Endgame, Fox released their last entry in the X-Men franchise, Dark PhoeniX to almost no fanfare. In this episode, we finally get around to talk Dark Phoenix and Logan, two movies that present different directions and different ends for the franchise, as we discuss our feelings on the franchise at large.

Stuck in quarantine, we took it upon ourselves to invite the most literal X-factor possible on to the podcast: The X-Men! We watched all 10 movies in the franchise (Sorry, Deadpool, our podcast needs the structural integrity of a fourth wall!), and we will be discussing them over a 3 episode miniseries that was recorded all at once. We also discuss current events, and would like to continue to amplify the message that Black Lives Matter. Today's episode: the original trilogy! X-Men, X2: X-Men United, and X-Men: The Last Stand.

XYZ Episode 31 - The Great Social Distancing

Happy New Year everybody! Zak and Yike discuss all things Star Wars, starting with Episode 9: The Rise of Skywalker. Spoilers, neither of us love it.

We also talk some Succession and Kiernan Caulkin's Roman Roy.

XYZ Episode 30 - Lock S-Foils in Attack Position

In this episode of the XYZ podcast, Yike and Zak dive really deep into the Watchmen TV Series, covering the major plot points and themes. Spoiler warning ... do not listen to this if you're not caught up to the end of season 1. Also we tangent into the MCU because we're us.

In a world with masked vigilantes, Nixon as a 4 term president, and a blue dude who can bend space and time, Yike and Zak discuss the artistic merits of a giant alien squid. Join us as we discuss the Watchmen Movie, comic, and the early episodes of the new HBO TV show!

XYZ Episode 28 - Who Watches The Podcast

Join Yike and Zak as they talk about different depictions of the life and times of King Henry V of England. After a solid 20 minutes of discussing Martin Scorses's MCU comments, they dive into a compare and contrast of Hollow Crown Henry V and The King (2019 Netflix movie), as well as other productions of Shakespeare's Henry V. Join us in this epic conversation, for there will be trebuchets and there will be a douchey Dauphin who steals the show!

XYZ Episode 23 - Inglourious Neighborhood Spider-Basterds

It's been a busy summer, but finally, the stars (and our schedules) align so that Caitlin Safiran can finally make her appearance on the podcast! We talk about the various HBO shows that Caitlin has been obsessed with lately (Chernobyl, Years and Years), how Twin Peaks boggled our minds (and how Riverdale sometimes does as well), and then we get real with how improv can be odd.
