The Whatnauts

Episode 17. We're talking about all the -Men today: Spider, Wonder, Plastic, Wicker, etc. Kyle has finally finished the under-discussed Apple TV bottle drama Servant. Melissa is bringing back Mad Libs. We discuss Spider-Man: Brand New Day, where we'll see a Spider-Man next (and which one??), and what if Sandman is the literal bedrock upon which Battle World is built. We also cover the trailers for Primetime, Wicker, and the Thomas Crown Affair, and then fail to talk about anything besides Marvel: theories for X-Men cast announcements at D23, how Wonder Man should come back as the Xavier School's drama teacher, how the Xavier School should have a nosy neighbor who doesn't mean the X-Men any harm but gets angry when you touch his garden, what if Marvel bought an obscure unrelated pulp character and pretended they were always part of the universe, and all the complicated legal reasons for what Marvel characters can be at Disney World vs. Universal Studios.
