Josh and Leia are joined by returning guest Jesse to delve into one of X-Men's most infamous stories - Onslaught! Too much fun to keep to just one episode, in part 1 we set up that no one likes Cyclops, Professor Xavier is a TERRIBLE father figure and we get real deep and real off topic with talks about the current states of nerd culture.

Josh and Leia are joined by special guest Dawn Baldwin and auditing Graphically Novel host Jennifer Howland to talk about the very 90's Dawn by Joseph Michael Linsner. Lingerie as a common fashion choice, a bit of religious talk on a Sunday and Josh's nostalgia is violently shattered by three women in real time. Come for the comic and stay for the discussion about where 90's kids hid their porn.
