Episode 21: Return of the Mojo (Ew). Part of the Gambit Guide: 1990s.

Today, the Gambit Spotters (Meg, Vonnie, and Liv) are unattended because Riley isn’t available this week. We’re more unhinged and tangent-ey than usual so buckle in! We discuss Charles Xavier’s magical teletubby sun powers, Mojo, the Wizard of Oz, mind control, how Mr. Liv would never survive the first 5 minutes of a horror movie and more! Special guest appearances by Dazzler and Longshot, and a smash or pass which has us questioning if the outfit really makes us change our minds. Don’t forget to like and subscribe! Questions?

Episode 20: Brood Trouble in the Big Easy Par 2. Part of the Gambit Guide: 1990s.

Today, the Gambit Spotters (Meg, Vonnie, Riley and Liv) yap far too much, considering only two comics are being covered in this episode. However, these issues have everything! Aliens, the astral plane, Cyclops getting caught thirsting over Psylocke on multiple occasions, Ex-Wives dropping a ton of lore, the semantics of babbling vs rambling, motorcycles, death, how not to remove a skeleton, Brood Goo, and Gambit speaking full French! Plus: a cow side tangent that we probably should have edited out but it’s too late now and a Smash or Pass that was smashed so aggressively we may have needed a moment.
