Plumbing the Death Star
Would Should Wolverine's Bones Be Coated In (later changed to Replaced With) Instead of Adamantium? (Ft. Darcy Smith from Studio Folly)
In an episode where they've never needed his bullshit X-Men knowledge more, Zammit's out sick. But never fear true believer as he's been replaced by our good friend Darcy Smith from Studio Folly! Who knows NOTHING about X-Men. He didn't even know Wolverine aka Logan aka James Howlett bones were coated in adamantium. You all better come for him in the comments. They didn't even mention the time after Wolverine got the adamantium ripped from his bones where he turned into a full on cave man, wore a bandana and had no nose. Nor do the mention the time of how he got his adamantium back. You see, at the time, and unbeknownst to the rest of the X-Men, Apocalypse had kidnapped (man-napped? mutant-napped?) Wolverine and pitted him up against Sabretooth (who had been enhanced with adamantium from the arms of the evil mutant Cyber (he had arms coated in adamantium)) to see who would become Death (one of the Horsemen of Apocalypse). Wolverine defeated Sabretooth believing that only bad would come out of Sabretooth becoming Death and so Apocalypse sucked off the adamantium from Sabretooth to give to Wolverine. Even his teeth were adamantium at this point, but that didn't last. He was then made to attack the X-Men and he was all wrapped up in a red headscarf thing and wielded a big scimitar for reasons that are unclear. Probably to hide the fact that no one was supposed to know he was Wolverine as there was another Wolverine on the team, but not like his clone or his son or his clone of a clone, this one was a Skrull (one of those shapeshifting aliens) who was pretending to be Wolverine for some reason that escapes me. Did Apocalypse put him on the team or was that just a sweet coincidence? This was during Apocalypse: The Twelve storyline, which was something that was teased for so long in the comics but ended up being just a terrible mess where Apocalypse wanted to get sucked off into the body of Nate Grey (an alternate reality and all powerful son of Jean Grey and Scott Summers who was kicking it sweet in the 616 universe who later went on to become a mutant shaman, then become a bit of everyone, then he made an alternate reality where sex was forbidden which makes sense as he was tricked by an evil Madelyne Pryor from a different alternate dimension to have sex, which is weird as Madelyne is a clone of Jean Grey, his mum) but Scott Summers pushed him out the way and took his spot, so Apocalypse ended up sucking off Cyclops and then they merged into one guy and then choofed off for a bit to finally come back to cheat on his wife. So you guys better come for them in the comments. Didn't even know their plane was called the Blackbird. IDIOTS.

645. Which Fictional Child Would You Adopt?
01:02:18||Ep. 645In celebration or commiseration of Grogru and Mandalorian, we look at fictional children to see which one we'd adopt. Probably could have worded that one better. I can see why the first 4 minutes of the episode happens now. JD has a mental break and tries to find the ninja turtles so he can ensure his new sephew (son/nephew) can become the 5th turtle, Zammit uses his new boy to make himself look like a pillar of the community until the kaiju incident and Jackson can't stop spraying his kid with the hose.

644. If You Could Have Any If YOU Could Have Dinner With Anyone (Historical) Living or Dead Who Would Who Would You Pick?
01:12:54||Ep. 644It's a very succinct and eloquently spoken question this episode! It's one of those classic questions that it's somehow taken us over 600 episodes to even bother to ask. But we have some ground rules: No evil guys and no dinner of poison! Today's episode barely gets away from us as we discuss Wim Hoff and his public enema escapades, donkey sauce and really go after clowns for no understandable reason.

643. How Would You Become Batman on the Cheap?
01:01:50||Ep. 643This week the boys are tasked with the almost impossible task of attempting to be Batman on the cheap. The biggest hurdle? Not being strong, clever, smart, handsome or good looking. Those are the things that are really going to hamper your boys. We do not know how to make things non-lethal nor do we know how to find information about the seedy underbelly of a city. And even if we did, what are we going to do with that?! Listen in as three adult men realise they are well past their prime to learn how to fight, would be beaten by teens and would lose a handsome competition to a dog.Links to everything at https://linktr.ee/plumbingthedeathstar including our terrible merch, social media garbage and where to become a subscriber to Bad Brain Boys+

641. How Would You Re-Design Spider-Man? with Adam Carnevale
01:03:52||Ep. 641JD is missing, presumed dead. We can only assume that all his bad decisions have finally caught up with him. But never fear true believer, we have Adam Carnevale from the hit podcast series 'D&D is for Nerds' to join us instead. Today we examine the friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man and see how we could re-design that amazing and spectacular wall-crawler. We take the first suggestion of attempting to get a sponsorship from Velcro and really run with it. From the Val-Crow to the Valentine Crow Man, we do our best to avoid getting sued by the general public, Charles Xavier and Val Kilmer's estate before turning on a dime to try and get that lucrative cigarette sponsorship money. Spiders are scary, we do not know why Peter Parker themed himself that way. Is he stupid?

640. Does Willy Wonka Know How to Run a Damn Competition?
01:01:08||Ep. 640Jackson is so mad at Wonka that he forgot the golden rule of running a competition: the goal for the company, or in this instance, the man, is to get as much money as humanly possible. Jackson is so hellbent on Charlie becoming Wonka’s heir that he has perhaps forgotten that Willy Wonka is a famous dirtbag, liar and exploiter of workers. Perhaps with an incredible record setting year in chocolate sales, Wonka has picked this moment to scarper with all those funds and then give the key to his “fortune” to some stupid child who was too busy sucking down snozzberries to realise he had been scammed. Charlie is a literal child, he doesn’t know anything about taxes, shareholders or ROI. Two years down the line, he’s going to get a knock on the door while Wonka has disappeared into the wind, laying down on some beautiful island getting his snozzberry slopped off. We’d say not that island, but truth be told, would you be surprised if Wonka’s name appeared on a list? Charlie is going to rot in jail. Idiot child. Just like Jacksom.Links to everything at https://linktr.ee/plumbingthedeathstar including our terrible merch, social media garbage and where to become a subscriber to Bad Brain Boys+
