Summary

"Hot Topic Rennfaire" was a somewhat controversial choice for X-Force's prom theme. (X-Force #85) In which the overlap between Rocky Horror and ‘90s X-Force fans is probably pretty significant; Pandemonia has priorities; the warehouse gets an evil, sexy glowup; swears are great; Johnny Blaze’s motorcycle probably shouldn’t still be on fire; and there is no single definitive X-Men experience. X-PLAINED: Master Pandemonium X-Force #85 X-Force/Champions Annual 1998 What X-Force has been up to lately The regrettable absence of Doctor Doom Possession Community Cougars (euphemistic) The thrift cycle Rusty Collins on Krakoa Fashion An eons-old accord between the Houses of Chaos and the Lord of Valhalla Jennifer Kale The list Swears A statue of Hades Various appendages sticking out of the earth Hercules The mystic power of sarcasm The greatest fear of a Titan Monet St. Croix vs. the Count of Monte Cristo Good X-books for your fifteen-year-old niece NEXT EPISODE: Wolverine vs. Vampires (again)!

0:00.0	Hey Jay, so is Pandemonia related to master Pandemone Yum?

0:18.0	Who in turn have their own presumably baby-sized hands?
0:20.0	What? I'm Jay Eddidin and I'm Miles Stokes and we are here to explain the X-Men
0:37.1	Because it's about time someone did
0:39.5	Welcome to episode 437 of Jay and Miles explain the X-Men where we walk you through the ins, the outs, and the
0:44.8	ret cons of comics greatest superhero soap opera.
0:48.4	And welcome in this Brave New Year, well as we record this it's not yet, but it will be when the episode comes out.
0:54.3	Uh, to some more X-Force. We are done with the X-Force road trip era. We're still very much within the
1:01.1	John Francis More run of X4 so that Adam
1:03.7	Polina is no longer drawing sadly and it's still pretty fun and still feels like
1:08.9	it's kind of in the middle of things.
1:11.1	Yeah it's very very liminal feeling right now and that's definitely the case in both of the issues
1:16.7	that we're looking at and I think doubly so in the case of the annual which also contains a
1:21.5	blast from the very distant past. If you're familiar with
1:24.7	X-Force you might be thinking new mutants but no this is something older.
