Low Key
X-Men 97 Can Save Us All
•
In this episode we talk about our love of the brilliant X-Men 97, dream re-cast the 2000 X-Men movie, and pitch the greatest comic-book story that will never, ever be made.
We also imagine a solution to the Logan-Scott-Jean love triangle, talk about past great animated shows, and envision a plan for world peace inspired by Magneto.
Come to me, my X-Men (fans).
P.S. Tim was wrong about X-Men #168 being the first issue he ever bought. It was #185.

Common Side Effects! Righteous Gemstones! A 1979 Jack the Ripper Movie!
56:08|Due to various calamities we couldn't find time to watch the same show or movie this week, so instead Aaron, Keith and Tim are just listing off a bunch of cool stuff they like and recommend. We also discuss great Disney sequels, the Righteous Gemstones, hip-hop Percocet era, and why Frozen 2 is, no kidding, the wokest movie ever.

When Your Younger Self Attacks Your Older Self
01:14:12|THE SUBSTANCE is almost a perfect partner to the last film we discussed, A DIFFERENT MAN. It's about aging and beauty standards, but also the kindnesses and harms we do to our future selves.
A Different Man
01:05:55|A Different Man stars Sebastian Stan as Edward, an aspiring actor with neurofibromatosis who, through a new procedure, gets the face he's always wanted. But then he meets a different man, Oswald (Adam Pearson) who thrives in a play based on Edward's previous life — and makes Edward question everything about himself.
Creature Commandos Controls the Future of the DC Universe
44:40|We like Creature Commandos, and are endlessly amused that it is the first project under DC Studios leader James Gunn to be canon in the new DC Universe.We also have some thoughts on the weird relationship between Batman and Robin.
Triple CROSS
34:52|Has James Patterson already used TRIPLE CROSS as the title of one of his dozens of Alex Cross novels? We don't know. If not, Mr. Patterson, it's all yours. On this episode of LOW KEY we talk about DC cop/psychologist Alex Cross, played in the new Amazon Prime series CROSS by the always good Aldis Hodge. We think it has crossover appeal.
Woman of the Hour: How to Not Be Like a Serial Killer
44:49|Woman of the Hour starts out with a deliciously trash concept: a woman (Anna Kendrick) goes on a dating show where one of the three bachelors is a serial killer. But it takes a serious turn when almost every man in sight fails as a human being — except for George Elliott. We talk this episode about how to be a real man.
