Tyler and Jake are back with a no-holds-barred Episode 263! They dive deep into X-Men '97 Episode 4 (holy shit, what an episode), break down the latest comics including the wild, mind-bending Dead Man series by W. Maxwell Prince (with Batman, Plastic Man, and fourth-wall-breaking afterlife chaos), and explore heavy-hitting reads touching on Absolute titles and more.

In the Long Box, they go full spectrum:

• Tyler geeks out over a Gore Verbinski/Sam Rockwell banger — a hilarious, original, anti-AI time-loop mindfuck that sticks with you.
• Jake gets emotional with A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (Tom Hanks as Mr. Rogers), talking compassion, mental health, processing feelings, and why kindness is punk rock.

Plus: Rants on late-stage capitalism destroying gaming (Microsoft layoffs at id Software, Sony’s all-digital future, EA Sports nickel-and-diming College Football), the importance of physical media, sitcom evolution, and plenty of unfiltered real talk.
