0:00.0	Man, Miles, Dracula's entry into the public domain really is the gift that keeps on giving.
0:07.0	Seriously, Jay, he's a universal standard at this point. Every story must have a protagonist, an antagonist, and a Dracula.
0:15.6	And he's so versatile. You'd think he'd be pretty horror specific, but no, he's
0:20.5	really genre flexible.
0:23.0	Superheroes, science fiction, you name it.
0:27.0	Remember that time he narrated a biography of twilight author Stephanie Meyer?
0:31.0	What? I'm Jay Eddidin and I'm Miles Stokes and we are here to explain the X-Men
0:48.7	because it's about time someone did. Welcome to episode 441 of Jay and Miles explain the X-Men where we walk you through the ins,

1:26.0	I mean, I don't know, Dracula's in the public domain, you never know where he's going to pop up.
1:30.0	Mm, true, true, good point. Well, what's popping up this time as you alluded to is one of the X spin-offs, Generation X. We are covering some very odd but fun Gen X today.
1:43.0	Right, we've got two individual issues, each of which is a one-shot story, and we've got an annual which, as mentioned, features Dracula.
1:49.0	So what's been happening on Generation X lately?
1:52.0	It's been a few episodes since we've covered them.
