X-Reads: An X-Men Experience

Chris and Chandler take a different approach than most X-Men recap shows. Instead of going strictly chronological, they hop around between eras, covering classic issues from Claremont to Hickman and everything in between. New episodes drop on the first and third Wednesday of each month, and the guest lineup is what really sets this one apart. Voice actresses, comic book writers, and artists regularly appear to discuss specific issues they have a personal connection to. A recent episode featured Crystal Lee, who voiced characters in X-Men 97, discussing a 1994 issue of X-Men Vol. 2. That kind of insider perspective adds a layer you just cannot get from two fans talking. The hosts also produce The Uncanny Experience, an immersive X-Men convention, so their connections in the community run deep. Episodes run between 45 minutes and an hour and change, hitting a sweet spot where you get real analysis without it becoming a marathon. With 156 episodes and a 4.7 rating, the show has built a solid following. The explicit rating mostly covers language rather than content. If you want your X-Men discussion served with a side of industry access, this is the one.
