Temporada 8

Uncanny Treks: X-Men '97 S2E8 (2026, TV)

The penultimate episode, and the fans are furious. Bob and Matt wade into 'Dead Man's Hand,' the controversial X-Men '97 lead-in to the finale that many found rushed — especially its handling of Gambit, resurrected by Apocalypse and gone too soon. They sort the fair complaints from the noise, enjoy Cable getting betrayed by Jubilee, and pay the Thieves Guild its tithe (as does this podcast, for the low price of $1 on Patreon). Matt watched it twice; the finale made it better.

Uncanny Treks: Star Trek- Strange New Worlds S4E2 (2026, TV)

Something spooky aboard the Enterprise. Bob and Matt tackle 'The Griffin Incident,' Strange New Worlds' full-throated swing at sci-fi horror — gory, tense, and unlike anything the show has tried. They get hung up on the episode's enormous shuttle set (where did that giant window come from?), then close with a horror-movie recommendation swap that sums them up perfectly: Matt's deep enthusiasm is Ghostbusters, Bob's is a 1972 Soviet science fiction film. Four ghost movies, zero consensus.

Uncanny Treks: X-Men '97 S2E7 (2026, TV)

Welcome to the Savage Land! Bob and Matt break down X-Men '97's seventh episode, 'Strange Land, Savage Heart' — a Wolverine spotlight stuffed with lovingly recreated comic-book imagery, including a promo shot lifted straight from New X-Men. They dig into the episode's pulp-adventure pleasures, debate the show's cliffhanger habit (Matt wants one solid episode a week, no more teases), and brace for the final two after a Gambit-sized stinger. Cut the cliffhangers, raise the spotlights.

Temporada 7

Uncanny Treks: New X-Men Vol. 7- “Here Comes Tomorrow" (2004, Comic)

One hundred fifty years later. Bob and Matt close Morrison's New X-Men with Here Comes Tomorrow — the far-future finale where a battered, haunted X-Men make their last stand and the Scott-and-Emma era gets its official blessing. It's big, strange, and oddly moving after forty-one issues of buildup. Matt's emotional; Bob's cataloging what it all meant. The run that remade the X-Men gets its verdict.

Uncanny Treks: New X-Men Vol. 6- “Planet X" (2003, Comic)

Xorn was Magneto all along. Bob and Matt reach Planet X — the volume where Morrison's long game detonates: the gentle healer unmasks as Magneto, New York burns, and Jean Grey dies (again — but this time it sticks for a while). The most controversial twist in modern X-Men, litigated in full. Matt's defending the swerve; Bob called it back in Imperial. Phoenix, ashes, fallout.

Uncanny Treks: Star Trek- Strange New Worlds S4E1 (2026, TV)

The Enterprise just killed the dinosaurs. Bob and Matt return to Strange New Worlds for the season-four premiere, 'Valles Marineris' — a Category 10 time-storm hurls the ship 65 million years into the past, where the crew accidentally engineers Mars's annihilation and the asteroid that ends the Cretaceous. Peak prequel mischief, plus a Pelia moment that launched a thousand Doctor Who theories. Matt's still processing the timeline damage; Bob's applauding the audacity. Season four is go.

Uncanny Treks: X-Men '97 S2E6 (2026, TV)

The Danger Room has opinions. Bob and Matt break down 'Danger.exe' — X-Men '97's take on the training room turned trap, and the geekiest title of the season. When the simulation stops playing nice, the team's got one very bad program to debug. Matt's theorizing about who's really running it; Bob just wants more training montages. Six episodes deep, the season keeps leveling up.

Uncanny Treks: New X-Men Vol. 5- “Assault on Weapon Plus" (2003, Comic)

Somebody's killing mutants at the mansion. Bob and Matt open Assault on Weapon Plus with 'Murder at the Mansion' — Bishop, Sage, Emma, and Jean on the case — then follow Wolverine and Cyclops into the Weapon Plus program and Fantomex's accelerated-time laboratory, the World. It's Morrison's conspiracy thriller, and the run's pulpiest stretch. Matt's obsessed with Fantomex; Bob's just trying to keep the timeline straight. Trust no one.

Uncanny Treks: New X-Men Vol. 4- “Riot at Xaviers" (2003, Comic)

Quentin Quire ruins everything. Bob and Matt hit Riot at Xavier's — the volume many fans call the peak of Morrison's run, as the omega-level punk's Kick-fueled rampage turns the school into a war zone. It's X-Men as generational warfare, and it still stings two decades later. Matt's ironically team Quire; Bob's team everyone else. The mansion will never be the same.

Uncanny Treks: New X-Men Vol. 3- “New Worlds” (2002, Comic)

After the Nova nightmare, school starts. Bob and Matt take on New Worlds — Morrison's breather volume, with Xorn's Special Class, the organ-harvesting U-Men, and the X-Men trying to be teachers again. It's the run's quietest book and maybe its strangest. Matt's grading the new students; Bob can't stop thinking about the organ thieves. Calm before the riot.
