It's here! Episode 11 is a big ol' romp with tier lists, awards, the Mailbag of the Atom, and more! Here's the tier lists you heard us make (or will hear us make)! #xmen #xmen97 open.spotify.com/episode/6Qbv...

Hey folks, just FYI it's taking a bit longer than expected to get Episode 11 properly edited for release but that's in part because it is a jumbo-sized episode and one where we really play with the format in a few different ways. We appreciate your patience and hope you'll find it worth the wait!

Did You Know? It takes 3,000 supervised practice hours under a board-certified instructor and a passing grade on a comprehensive exam to become a licensed Adamantium welder. #xmen #xmen97 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

For anyone who prefers to listen on YouTube, all 10 of our main series episodes are now posted! Enjoy, but since this is not the end, we'll still see you neXt time (Ep 11 coming soon)! #xmen #xmen97 youtu.be/mixZ-9CmAlY?...

As mentioned earlier, no new ep this week (we are now out of weekly releases - intermittent until Season 2) but Matt is waist deep in editing Episode 11, a tour de force with tier lists, the Manchy Awards, and the Mailbag of the Atom! Stay tuned! #xmen #xmen97 open.spotify.com/show/08rojI8...

Season 1 finale spoiler: Unfortunately Matt and Bret have both been tossed to different points in the past and future. On the bright side, JoAnn Fabric and @cheercaptain.bsky.social are assembling as many untapped Manchildren as possible to find them! #xmen #xmen97 open.spotify.com/episode/7HXO...

Matt and Bret both have a Podcast stat of 10 in their Magneto Protocol-style dossier stat sheet. #xmen #xmen97 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s...

The final episode of Season 1 of X-Men 97 is here! Listen in as the boys gush about the final battle with Bastion, count up all the cameos, and even fix the glaring issue with the finale (ie Xavier is terrible)

Did You Know? In the X-Men '97 continuity, Jean Grey hits Mr. Sinister with bowling balls in 1997, inspiring the opening blow of the Walter Sobchak vs. Nihilists parking lot fight in the 1998 film The Big Lebowski. #xmen #xmen97 youtu.be/DMo5IDv5yaE?...

Did You Know? In addition to Asteroid M, Magneto is also the primary shareholder for 3M and sits on the GM Board of Directors. He has litigation pending with McDonald's regarding use of the Golden Arches logo as an additional M when off-planet. #xmen #xmen97 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s...

Episode 9 is here! Bret and Matt talk about the middle chapter of the X-Men '97 season finale three-parter and plenty of other topics as well, including a very dumb game of X-MASH! So fun it'll suck the adamantium clean off your bones! #xmen #xmen97 open.spotify.com/episode/0W2s...

Still time to get caught up on episode 8 before 9 drops this week… Season 1 is nearing its conclusion! #xmen #xmen97 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

Don’t forget, if you love staring at a static image and maybe some captioning while listening, we’ve got you covered over on YouTube! #xmen #xmen97 youtu.be/fiAVuX8KQqw?...

Happy New Year! Start 2025 right with episode 8 of Manchildren of the Atom - we’re in the home stretch but there’s still time to guess some travel destinations from the world of the X-Men! #xmen #xmen97 open.spotify.com/episode/4rml...

Did You Know? In the X-Men ‘97 continuity Captain America’s shield will be ruled ineligible for league play by the Disc Golf Pro Tour in 2017, one year after its founding? Bishop confirms this in a deleted scene. #xmen #xmen97 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

Episode 7 is up to make your yuletide Bright (Eyes)! Bret and Matt discuss a good episode and still leave time to try to guess some Songs in the Key of X! #xmen #xmen97 open.spotify.com/episode/4QTn...

Remember, in Shi’ar culture listening to Manchildren of the Atom is a sign of madness. #xmen #xmen97 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

Episode 6 now up on YouTube… enjoy! #xmen #xmen97 youtu.be/FO00-TMkSU4?...

In the Muppets adaptation of Lifedeath, Statler and Waldorf play the Adversary (or the Adversaries, rather). "What, you don't like enclosed spaces? Try sitting on this balcony for decades! BA HA HA HA HA!" #xmen #xmen97 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

Did You Know? It is illegal to force more than 3 extraterrestrials at a time into a psychic representation of a classroom in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and South Dakota. The penalty ranges from $75 to $125 USD. #xmen #xmen97 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

Episode 6 is here! We're off to space, a notoriously dry place, so drink plenty of fluids... but watch out for inferior freak fluids! And it's the debut of Would You Rather? Mutant Edition! #xmen #men97 open.spotify.com/episode/5sFV...

Episode 5 now on YouTube for those who prefer it there, episode 6 tomorrow on all the usual audio formats! #xmen #xmen97 youtu.be/1HpUYsBI2JA?...

Monday is a perfect day to listen to Manchildren of the Atom - probably tied for best with 6 or so other days of the week. #xmen #xmen97 open.spotify.com/episode/2Ek8...

MotA cohost Matt's digital art holiday card - enjoy, X-fans! And you may as well give your ears something to do while you look at it and give us a listen! #xmen #xmen97 podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/s...

We didn't think of it while recording the episode but the events on Genosha share a lot in common with the 1921 Tulsa race massacre, in addition to plenty of other tragic real life events. Hateful folks LOATHE seeing the people they hate thriving. #xmen #xmen97 podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/s...

Plenty of serious topics under discussion in our 5th episode, but we still make time to figure out where Crash Bandicoot and Bubsy stand politically these days (it's not good news). #xmen #xmen97 podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/s...

“Fighting for a world that hates and fears you is a core part of my morality.” Listen in for our deep discussion of episode 5 and why the X-men continue to be relevant and powerful after all this time. #X-men #X-men97 #Marvel

Episode 5 is here! We host our first guest on the show, our friend John Regan, co-founder of CactusHead Puppets (www.cactusheadpuppets.com) for a talk about the gut-wrenching episode Remember It that runs the gamut from hilarious to heartbreaking. #xmen #xmen97 open.spotify.com/episode/2Ek8...

As a former middle school teacher I can tell you these kids aren’t nearly annoying enough and too well organized.

Little Shop of Horrors Newsies Hamilton? Probably?

Episode 4 is now up on YouTube. Listen as the boys chat about the evolution of Jubilee, the chop job that is Lifedeath Part 1, and a brief history of X-Men Videogames youtu.be/pQn6_JakZWs?... #X-Men #X-Men97 #Jubilee

We hope everyone has been enjoying Manchildren of the Atom as much as we have been enjoying making it - remember to subscribe, rate, and review if you like what we’ve been bringing to you! #xmen #xmen97 open.spotify.com/episode/1RpV...

Early drafts had much more impactful aftereffects of the adventure in Motendo. Specifically Beast’s save file in Final Fantasy VII that he’d been playing through for the two weeks since it came out was corrupted, which made him sad. #xmen #xmen97 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

Motendo stands for Manchildren Of The Endo, a subtle nod to our podcast that didn't exist yet when they scripted the episode. Thanks, writers! #xmen #xmen97 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

Did You Know? Mojo is actually just a nickname, short for Mojosephine (retcon from the original Mojocelyn). #xmen #xmen97 open.spotify.com/episode/1RpV...

Episode 4 is out! The MotA boys dive into the mixed bag that is Episode 4 of X-Men '97 and spend a little time sorting real X-Men video game subtitles from ones Matt brewed up in his noggin. Listen now wherever you like to get your podcasts! #xmen #xmen97 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

I read volume 1 of @gwillow.me Poison Ivy on Hoopla over the summer. Reminded me of Morrison’s Animal Man but with incredible psychedelic art. High recommend!

Episode 3 is on YouTube! Listen to us discuss X-Men 97’s crack at the classic X-tale Inferno! youtu.be/Oc03Ufg7o_8?...

Brimstone isn’t a bad start to that infamous line, it falls apart at clone. What would you replace clone with to improve that clunker? podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

Black Friday Bargain! Listen to Manchildren of the Atom for free! Who can resist these big, big savings?! open.spotify.com/episode/6uZR...

On Thanksgiving, wouldn’t you rather enjoy two guys talking about an adaptation of Inferno than suffer an inferno in your busy oven? Well good news, you don’t have to pick just one! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

If sub-par sound is a non-starter for you then rejoice! Episode 3 sees us diving into X-Men 97’s take on the great “Inferno” crossover with brand new mics but the same great takes. Enjoy! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

Traveling for Thanksgiving this week? Take Bret and Matt with you! The perfect way to pass a couple of hours in the car or other means of conveyance (don't take a Blackbird, they have a spotty safety record) - and Episode 3 drops tomorrow! open.spotify.com/show/08rojI8...

Merry Mutant Monday, True Believers! Stan here reminding you that Manchildren of the Atom was my idea all along and anyone else claiming credit for it deserves their certified No-Prize revoked! Excelsior! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

In X-Men ‘97 S1E2, Cyclops plays a mean trick on Magneto, serving him dark roast instead of his usual daily mug of poison. open.spotify.com/episode/18CK...

Did You Know? Manchildren of the Atom was called Les Hommes-Enfantes Atomique until 1959 when French colonial rule was finally ended after years of resistance. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...
