reflects the shallow end of fan culture for what is a very deep show

“This is a tough one. I love Legion – a flat-out amazing show. I really, really wanted to find a podcast that would dive deep on a lot of the elements the show touches upon – particularly the psychological aspects. And this podcast seems to be the only one dedicated to the show … but … it's just not good. It's pretty disorganized with not a lot of critical thought; it's very "fanboy/girl" culture – which by it's very nature is not very critical or interesting. It's a lot of "wow, that was cool". There is no research or prep put into these episodes whatsoever – beyond some general knowledge about the comic book character (the fact that this character originated from the X-Men universe is truly the least interesting element of the show).
[SPOILER ALERT AHEAD FOR 2ND SEASON FINALE]
Their handling of the second season finale was particularly troubling – not really wanting to dive into the issue of rape & the psychological repercussions. Couple that with the bending over backwards to gloss over or explaining away David's actions towards Sydney. There is no sympathy towards her as a rape victim or what that means to her & her outlook on David & their relationship. In fact, it devolves into victim blaming in how she (& the others) treat David. SMH … well, needles to say, a show of this level of complexity just deserves a much deeper level of critical thought.
There's probably other shows out there where these two hosts would be just right – but not Legion – they're just not up to the task.”

They bring great insights and do extra digging to bring knowledge to some seemingly simple things in the show...”Read full review »

“The combined forces of Jim and A.Ron with Jason had led to greatness. They know their stuff and the criticisms and praises of the show have been right on. Must listen for any Legion fan”
