Season 6: Episode 3: To the Pit With Q! Inferno #3 This week the guys discuss their interest level in No Way Home’s upcoming release, Dane waxes poetic for way too long on his love of Disney+’s Hawkeye, Spiderman in video games, and brief thoughts on Destiny of X.  It wouldn’t be the eXaMENation podcast if we didn’t talk about Hellions and boy do we have a reason to this episode as the series comes to a close and, surprise, they all love it.  Do you like Cypher spying on the man?  Emma being a badass?  Tensions between Xavier and Erik?  How about time traveling robots from future timelines?  Come on, you’re listening to an X-Men podcast, you know you do.  Well, Inferno has it all, plus a promise to burn it all down.  If you don’t want spoilers, probably skip over Quintin’s prediction because it’s too good not to be right.  As the podcast nears a close, Kelsey and Dane step into the Danger Room again.  But, will they be successful in the penultron episode?  Find out in this week’s episo

Season 6: Episode 2: Orchis Seems Like a Good Workplace

Season 6: Episode 2: Orchis Seems Like a Good Workplace Inferno #2 This week the guys discuss the No Way Home trailer, specifically the villains teased and who everyone wants to round out a presumed Sinister Six, Quintin’s love affair with the new Guardians of the Galaxy video game, why Adam Warlock is more than just that kid from We’re the Millers, and expectations of the new Lives and Deaths of Wolverine event.  Inferno keeps things blazing, this week focusing on the mystery of how Mystique got Destiny back, what Xavier and Magneto plan to do about this new betrayal, and the newest member of the council rounding them back out to 12.  Once all that’s done, things wrap up with some impromptu discussions of why solicits suck, how costume colors matter to show intentions, and maybe accidentally recorded a recruiting commercial for Orchis.  Enjoy!
