Saturday Morning Adventures: X-Men '97 S1E7 PLUS The Tortured X-Men Department!

Hello and welcome to Pop Break TV’s brand new sometimes podcast: Saturday Morning Adventures, where contributors to ⁠ThePopBreak.com⁠ and their friends kick back, tune in, and zone out to the kids cartoons that defined their childhoods and the ones that are still giving them life today. For the next ten weeks, this podcast will be led by Pop Break Podcasting Director ⁠Alex Marcus⁠ and ⁠K Anderson⁠, the host of the wonderful interview podcast ⁠Lost Spaces⁠, as they give you instant reactions to every episode of X-Men ‘97, the Disney Plus revival of the beloved 1992 classic X-Men: The Animated Series.  This week, Alex & K catch up with the rest of the team as they are reeling following the events in Genosia in episode five. They debate whether Rogue’s arc is conventional or compelling, whether Beast’s tough talk is impactful or a fleeting feeling of frustration, whether this is really the best use of Jubilee, and whether the Scott and Jean dynamic is feeling too onesided. Then, Alex honors the once and future Dazzler, Taylor Swift, by pairing the main cast of X-Men with songs from Taylor’s brand new album, The Tortured Poets Department. Check out the link to the Spotify playlist of all the songs listed! Tune into X-Men ‘97’s next episode this Wednesday only on Disney Plus and then check to this feed Saturday morning to hear just what Alex & K had to say!
