We discuss potential fatigue (is it down to binging or general fatigue) and how it's an odd bunch of episodes to round out the season: Orphan's End Love in Vain The Juggernaut Returns A Deal with the Devil Season 4 kicks off in two weeks with: Sanctuary 1-2 Xavier Remembers Courage Secrets not long Buried Nightcrawler 2022-07-2049 minWish It Was The 90sWish It Was The 90sThis Week On: The Simpsons | Blood FeudThis Week On: The Simpsons, episode 22 of Season 2 - Blood Feud, aired on July 11 1991.

Everything culminates with the iconic battle to save Jean on the Blue Area of the Moon. Let's also not forget the now immortalised scene of #Wolverine slicing salami.

We do a Wish It Was The 90s staple, a character snake draft. We discuss favourite quotes and scenes, and finish with re-casting the film with 2022 actors. Come for the laughs, stay for Pat referring to Walter as 'Walt' throughout.   2022-06-221h 01Wish It Was The 90sWish It Was The 90sX-Men: TAS | Episode 7: A Series of Great CameosIn the six episodes covered today we get to meet a lot of favourite characters from the comic books. #Cyclops has a run-in with the #PurpleMan and we have the return of #Apocalypse and #Archangel and the ship named Ship.

Simon - AFTER clocking the game - discovers that you can flee battles. Sean shamelessly talks about using the W-Item glitch; does his ‘clocking’ of the game even count? We move on to discuss battles with Jenova and Sephiroth and discuss whether excess grinding makes the ending anti-climactic. After discussion of the final cut scenes, Sam asks Sean about strategy for beating Ruby and Emerald weapons. Sam opens the virtual viewer mailbag: ‘How many hours did...2022-06-081h 06Wish It Was The 90sWish It Was The 90sX-Men: TAS | Episode 6: PhoenixSEASON 3 begins here! We open with some weird alien stuff in the sewers that Beast finds 'fascinating'. #Wolverine catches up with ex  Lady Deathstrike and gives a series of phenomenal one-liners. Then we enter the 5 episode #PhoenixSaga that involves Jean's transformation, the Prof getting very weird, another trip to Muir Island meeting the wailing #Banshee and #Lilandra and the Shi'ar. A trip to space, some weird M'Kraan crystal stuff and the "death" of Jean Grey. Unbelievably, one of us doesn't enjoy it...

Surprise, surprise, Simon offers little to no insight. We begin our hunt for the huge materia and discuss if the Ancient Forest is the worst mini-game in history. This discussion causes us to have some chocobo chit-chat followed by revisiting Rocket Town, where we discuss the long-suffering Shera’s vindication. Thankfully, we engage in some more Bugey analysis as he joins the party on the Highwind.

First, we look at camera views; is South Terrace, East Terrace, or ‘Action Cam’ the way to go? Then, we discuss essential house rules for the game. What is acceptable, and what is not? We reminisce about ‘Classic Matches’ and the hilarity of ‘Team Rage’ and ‘Team Lomu’. An important tier discussion follows; who are teams #2, #3 and #4 after the All Blacks? Everyone loves a good minnow, so we decide to discuss our favourite minnows, and favourite players from these nations – Laksanasompong, anyone?

We look at the pros and cons of our drafted parties thus far. We strap on our virtual snowboards and talk about the chore that is the Great Glacier. Then, we exasperatedly ask: ‘Another Nibelheim flashback, Squaresoft? Really?’ At least this one contains yet more heroics from martial arts coach Zangan. This leads us to discuss the physical properties of Sephiroth which makes our brains hurt. Then, it’s on to death row in Junon for Tifa and Barrett; what in the hell seafaring ‘Weapon’ is killed by Shinra’s missiles? We certainly don’t know.

We hit Rocket Town, and talk about what an a**hole Cid is. We also wonder - are Cid and Shera husband and wife, or just work colleagues? The bumbling fool Palmer’s booty-shaking exploits are chuckled at before we move on to Wutai, with yet more re-make talk from Sean. We go to The Gold Saucer and rehash our ‘dates’, as well as wondering if Cait Sith the most annoying character of all time.

We argue about the pronunciation of almost every character and place name in the game and get incredibly confused by Cloud’s flashbacks. Some hard questions are asked: Barrett’s backstory – good or dud? Is Fort Condor a fruitful side quest? Is North Corel the FF7 equivalent of ‘Camp Greenlake’? Finally, a heated argument ensues when Sam bags ‘Bugey’ Bugenhagen. 2022-04-061h 09Wish It Was The 90sWish It Was The 90sX-Men: TAS | Episode 2: Grunts, Growls and SnarlsMagneto ponders whether the Prof will have a toupee, we meet the Morlocks, Colossus, and Juggernaut, and head on a family fun holiday to Genosha.

We ask the big questions, like: “Are you a narcissist if you change Cloud’s name to your own?” and “What kind of father leaves their four-year-old daughter in charge of a bar?”. Sean confesses to cheating, Simon can’t stop mentioning that the game is ‘vast’ and Sam wonders why Aeris’ mansion amid the slums hasn’t been ransacked yet. We reach Shinra HQ and discuss the rampant sexism being alive in well in this otherwise-flawless company. Finally, we discuss just how unlikeable Cloud is at this point, an...2022-03-231h 15Wish It Was The 90sWish It Was The 90sX-Men: TAS | Episode 1: Everybody Loves BeastIn our ambitious effort to watch every episode of the greatest cartoon of the 90s via Disney+ (according to Sean), we cover the following episodes: Night of Sentinels Part 1&2 Enter Magneto For those watching along, Episode #2 will cover: Deadly Reunions Captive Hearts Cold Vengeance Slave Island The Unstoppable Juggernaut Very important info: Disney+ haven't ordered the episodes correctly.

We try to 'draft' the characters we must use throughout our playing of the game, but Sean doesn't understand the concept of a snake draft. Sean also educates us on the correct pronunciation of 'Aeris'. We guess Cid's age, rag on Cait Sith for about ten minutes (not long enough?) and finish by asking the age-old questions: to walkthrough or to not walkthrough? 2022-03-0942 min
