Dr. Scott DeGeest: Jean is a Giant Birb Who's Really into Poppers - Uncanny X-Men 175
Welcome true believers to X-Men Horoscopes where each week our host Lodro Rinzler is in conversation with a special guest to discuss the X-Men issue that aligns with a significant month and year from their life and what that issue reveals about their future.
This week on the show we have dear friend Dr. Scott DeGeest to talk about AI sentinels taking over humanity, Mastermind, and Human Torch Con. We dive into his birth month and year issue (Uncanny X-Men 175) where everyone thinks Cyclops is Dark Phoenix but don't worry...he had ten minutes to plan in response PLUS a belt calculator so he'll be okay.
Also in this episode:
Lodro has been to Minneapolis once and their gay bar Saloon twice
The difference between dumb Sentinels and smart Sentinels
We check in with our official Flamecon correspondent about a convention dedicated to the Human Torch I guess?
Nightcrawler is bad at shoes
Everyone knows that Chicago is famous for their pumpkins
Jean has to go run some errands
Phoenix ate, no crumbs
Why Cyclops’ mom should be a mutant
What does any of this mean for Scott's future? Tune in to find out!
Dr. Scott DeGeest has been lost in the world of X-Men and comics at large since age eight when he was left unsupervised for too long at the 1992 San Diego Comic Con. Early issues of Excalibur first sparked his love for the franchise. Today, he works as a principal data scientist at a tech company, where he uses his knowledge and curiosity about technology to explore science fiction about artificial intelligence, data science, and robots.
In the world of X-Men podcasts, Scott is a regular contributor on Graymalkin Lane. He currently voices Steven Lang on that show's X-Men read-along. A regular guest on podcasts inside and outside of comics, Scott enjoys talking about the gaps between science fiction and science fact, especially related to portrayals of AI in comics.
If you ask him, Scott will usually tell you his favorite X-Men character is Cyclops. However, if you press him, he will quickly go into lengthy detail about his interest in Rachel Summers. What’s not to love about a psychic, time-traveling daughter from a dystopian future ruled by genocidal robots?

Welcome true believers to X-Men Horoscopes where each week our host Lodro Rinzler is in conversation with a special guest to discuss the X-Men issue that aligns with a significant month and year from their life and what that issue reveals about their future.
This week we have the extremely talented Murewa Ayodele on the show to talk about everything current and upcoming in the STORM solo series he's writing!
We get into the winding path of his becoming a comic writer, tears and all, and what motivated him to write Storm as powerfully as she is right now (spoiler: it's anger). Murewa was born in the midst of the Phalanx introduction (Uncanny X-Men 313) so we also discuss:
how long superheroes can hold their breath underwater
Bishop is the Hulk now
the best way to take out the Phalanx is with a standard issue pole
everyone is joining the Phalanx these days (looking at you, Douglock)
you can be mad at Lodro about his Scottish accent or his lack of Star Trek knowledge, but not both
All this plus how the core of the Storm series is about her autonomy. What does any of this mean for Murewa's future? Tune in to find out (nailed the horoscope this time, friends!)
Murewa Ayodele is a recipient of the (Lagos Comic Con 2023) FIST AWARD for WRITER OF THE DECADE and is the writer of the Nommo-nominated comic book series, NEW MEN, the critically acclaimed webcomic series, MY GRANDFATHER WAS A GOD, the popular AKOGUN: BRUTALIZER OF GODS graphic novel, and several Marvel comics like MOON KNIGHT: BLACK WHITE & BLOOD, AVENGERS UNLIMITED INFINITY COMIC, I AM IRON MAN, X-MANHUNT: OMEGA, and, of course, STORM.
He is also the co-founder of Collectible Comics NG, a Nigerian comic book studio founded with artist Dotun Akande that was nominated in the COMIC STUDIO OF THE YEAR category at the 2018 FIST AWARDS.

This week we have special guest Clarke Whitehead, co-host of the fantastic Homo Superior podcast whose parents had the good sense to birth him on the date of the release of Kitty's Fairy Tale. Yep, what better bedtime story for a terrified 9 year-old to receive than to hear about how Dark Phoenix ate a sun and the adults around her were powerless to stop her?
Also in Kitty's Fairytale:
Clarke is basically Sage
Our brand new segment: "Bro, why would you even say that?"
Clarke's original creation, Jumbles
The X-plane is jerk dragon
Wolverine is the best there is at what he does and he doesn’t like feeling silly
Kitty brags about wet dreams to her teammates
horny Bamfs
All this plus Wolverine as the Tasmanian devil. Unlike Illyana, you will not be put to sleep with this week's episode. What does any of it mean for Clarke's future? Tune in to find out!
Clarke Whitehead grew up right across the river from Washington DC, absorbing politics and history like a sponge. He is a theatre teacher and dramaturg, having studied in London and Galway, Ireland. He has a voracious appetite for entertainment from Asian reality dating shows, European Cold War dramas, and Anglophone Soap Operas to Turner Classic Movies, Sims Twitch Streams, and – obviously - X-Men comics. When Homo Superior was in it’s planning stages, Clarke was to feature in the weekly segment “Clarke’s Corner,” where he would spill his unorthodox or unpopular takes in an Andy Rooney style of off-kilter ranting. As the podcast's resident character historian, he keeps everyone updated on what Catseye has been up to.
