Uncanny Rewind - An X-Men Podcast

Uncanny Rewind is a chronological reread of Uncanny X-Men starting from issue one, and the hosts take their time with it. Episodes typically cover a handful of issues at a pace that lets them actually sit with Claremont’s weirder choices, Byrne’s layouts, and the deeply soapy Silver Age stuff everyone usually skips. The tone is warm and a little gossipy, which honestly suits comics reading. You get real summaries, continuity flags for newer readers, and opinions that aren’t afraid to call out a bad issue when one shows up. What makes it work is the hosts know the material well enough to explain it without lecturing, and they’re happy to pause on a single panel if Wolverine does something ridiculous. If you’ve been meaning to read the Claremont run and bounced off it, listening alongside this show is a good way to stay on track. Episodes run long but don’t feel padded. It’s a good pick for people who want a slower, more scholarly take than the usual news-and-reviews X-Men format, without the show turning into a lecture hall. The Simplecast feed is reliable and the back catalog is substantial enough to keep you busy for a while.
