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.
Long time friend of our host Matthew Bonaccorso joins us to talk DRACULA!
The X-Men have fought aliens, had friends turn into giant space birds and live in a world where telepaths are on every block but balk at the possibility that Storm could possibly be hanging out with a vampire. But guess what? She got turnt!
Yes, Matt's birthday corresponds to Storm falling under the sway of Dracula himself.
Also in this issue:
most of our listeners have probably imagined Wolverine in their bedroom
if you were going to send one trade paperback to convince someone to like the X-Men, what it would it be?
Kitty has to go run some errands
Kitty buys a hat to kill Dracula
Dracula is wearing the puffy shirt from Seinfeld
Matt doesn’t know how to pronounce jaunt
Nightcrawler almost beats Dracula by holding up two sticks
Dracula has a party bus coffin
At the end of the day, the best way to defeat Dracula is, apparently, to gain his respect. What does any of this mean for Matt's future? Tune in to find out!
Matt Bonaccorso is a seasoned product innovator. He’s spent nearly two decades blending creativity and technology. He’s worked on everything from smart toys to digital products for the world's largest entertainment companies like Nickelodeon and Discovery Channel, and he’s the mind behind Corbit the Robot—a smart, AI-powered companion that entertained kids and parents alike.

Basically, if it’s cutting-edge tech that sparks the imagination, Matt’s got his fingerprints all over it.

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.
Returning guest Cassie Lilly comes home to X-Men Horoscopes for an episode where we map X-Men 57 onto its historical counterpart in 1969...we're covering the Stonewall Riots!
Yes - this is another "What does X-Men say about US?" episode, or at least the queer and queer-adjacent us. With that in mind, we also cover:
why Iceman is Cleopatra
the Sentinels...LIVE (for Polaris' outfit)
Havok is a walking talking disaster and Lorna Dane, half a world away, falls in love
Havok has to come out as a mutant and wonders if anyone has ever felt so alone
Lodro manages the X-Men's finances
"Men believe what they want to believe Bobby"
Tune in because this episode...is going to be a riot!
Jokes aside, this is when mutants in the Marvel Universe are starting to be persecuted and hunted simply for being mutants. We're witnessing the birth of mutant as metaphor in today's issue and it's message is a powerful one about how, when we stand together, we prevail. When we isolate, well, that's when the Sentinels will get ya.
Bonus: we have a back up story called "The Female of the Species" which...is not great for feminism. "Cleaning the house is a breeze when you have telekinesis!" - Jean Grey ten years before becoming a cosmic entity
Cassie Lilly is a truly creative person, having trained as an actress, most notably at the celebrated National Youth Theatre of London, who has also successfully dabbled in modeling and voiceover work before settling into her skills as a writer, with her first article published in 2021 detailing her perspective as a transgender girl in the modern world.
She is an activist at heart, a champion for LGBTQ rights and the fight against racism, lending her voice as an educational public speaker, shedding light on the history and facts surrounding the culture war on trans people. As an avid comic book reader from an early age, Cassie is considered a “go-to” girl when it comes to comics. This lends perfectly to her super fun content coverage as a bubbly Tiktoker and across social media, diving into nerd culture, comic book characters, history and lore! You can join the discussion with @who.cassie across all social media!

All this plus why Boom Boom would be a great president! Boom Boom 2028! She has my vote. What does any of this mean for Chad's future (and - BONUS - our society's)? Tune in to find out!

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.
Comics legend Marjorie Liu joins our host Lodro Rinzler to discuss an incredibly fun and disturbing issue of X-Men!
Before we sell you on all the hilarity, let's get real for a moment: Marjorie Liu is not just an extraordinary comic writer, she's also just a lovely, grounded, kind human being. It was an honor to have her on the show. Okay, now on to the silliness.
In this episode we discuss how Marjorie writes from the gut and, in her words, her gut is really weird. Also, how she went through a cathartic experience writing X-23 (now Wolverine).
Topics include:
teenage Marjorie wrote X-Men fanfic
in the Marvel Universe, a hat and trenchcoat is more than sufficient to disguise a six foot, blue, furry man
Charles Xavier sends postcards from space
Mesmero is a bag of dicks
Also Mesmero read a Playboy once and thinks that's how people should always pose
the Phoenix force has limits on how badly you can mess up Jean Grey
At the end we answer questions from YOU! Yes, you! Then Marjorie Liu spits wisdom on how to be yourself even and especially when others are trying to tell you who you should become and how to transmute hatred and negativity into gold. This episode is not to be missed!
Marjorie Liu is an attorney and New York Times bestselling novelist and comic book writer. Her work at Marvel includes X-23, Black Widow, Han Solo, Dark Wolverine and Astonishing X-Men. She is also the co-creator of Monstress from Image Comics, which has won multiple Hugo Awards, British Fantasy Awards, the Harvey Award, and five Eisner Awards, making Liu the first-ever woman (and woman of color) to win an Eisner in the Best Writer category. She teaches comic book writing at MIT.
Marjorie’s extensive work with Marvel includes the Dark Wolverine series, NYX: No Way Home, X-23, and Black Widow: The Name of the Rose. She received national media attention for Astonishing X-Men, which featured the gay wedding of X-Man Northstar and was subsequently nominated for a GLAAD Media Award for outstanding media images of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. You can find more of Marjorie over at her website.

Right in time for Halloween Homo Superior co-host Adam Kousarri-Amin joins our host for The Most Depressing After School Special EVER! The Power Pack kids get abducted by the Morlocks and the X-Men have to remember the Morlocks exist and save them.
That's right! How to top last week's episode where the Morlocks kidnap an adult? With another episode where they kidnap children! Everyone needs a hobby and this is the Morlocks' so please stop judging them.

If you live in a sewer why are you going to dress your kid in a tube top?
Cro Magnons are going to HATE this episode but everyone should give it a listen anyway.

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 legendary X-Writer Kieron Gillen joins our host Lodro Rinzler for a very special episode entitled "The X-Office is an Anarchist Commune." We discuss, not surprisingly, what it was like behind the scenes during the recent Krakoa era, the Fall of X, and how Xavier was right (?). Kieron was born right as Thunderbird died so we dive into the epic story told in X-Men 94 + 95.
Also in this episode:
- Kieron has emotional contraceptives for that
the overlap between Hickman and Gillen writing styles
the X-Men are forged into...the Breakfast Club
the death and rebirth of Thunderbird
how Count Nefaria is somehow the primary x-villain this season on the show
In the Q&A section we cover who the DJ was on Krakoa, how Selene loves to eat people and what the X-Men would be like as a sitcom.
Also: Power Fantasy, Kieron's BRAND NEW comic, is out...TODAY! Go get it! Like, today today!
Kieron Gillen first came to attention as a comic creator with his 2006’s Phonogram, with Jamie McKelvie. Jamie and he formed into a gestalt monster that rampaged against the next fifteen years of comics, culminating with critical and smash hit the Wicked + the Divine. When not with Jamie, he has co-created books such as DIE, The Ludocrats, Once & Future, Three, Uber and more. When not making his own worlds, he has worked on Marvel Comics biggest books, such as Uncanny X-Men, Young Avengers, Thor, Iron Man, Star Wars, Eternals and Darth Vader, (where he co-created Doctor Aphra).

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 are joined by Mark Bassett, critically acclaimed cellist and long-time friend of the host (who also arranged our theme music)!
Professor X is dying (again) so what does he dream about? Meeting the big love of his life: Magneto.
Join us in Israel after the Holocaust where things are just awful for regular human Gabrielle Haller. Nazis want to use her as a map for getting Hitler's gold because...sure. It's Gold Rush! A Nazi buddy comedy for Professor X and Magneto with lots of wacky hijinx and the origination of their ideological differences.
What does this issue mean for Mark's future? Tune in to find out!

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.
Right in time for the movies, Deadpool co-creator + writing legend Fabian Nicieza joins our host Lodro Rinzler for Count Nefaria stealing Washington D.C. He would have gotten away with it too if not for those pesky telepaths. Born in Argentina, Fabian grew up on (and learned English from) X-Men comics so we dive into issue 23, syncing with his arrival in the good old U.S. of A.
Count Nefaria has kidnapped the X-Men and is holding Washington D.C. hostage for seventy trazilliom dollars. Also in this episode:
what it's like to sell literal millions of comics each month (it was the 90s)
Professor X forgets that the telephone exists
Alfred Hitchcock has nothing on The Scarecrow
in the 60s framing the X-Men was just a thing everyone did
the first person to call Professor X a dick on panel
- Fabian will kill off Colossus (if he has to)
What does any of this mean for Fabian's future? Tune in to find out!
Fabian Nicieza has worked for Marvel since 1985 when he started out in the department for Fisher-Price licensed activity books. He moved on to become Marvel’s Advertising Manager and then during that time, Fabian also began writing for Marvel on a freelance basis. His first published book was PSI-FORCE #9 in 1987. He then went on to write THE NEW WARRIORS which was simply wonderful.
Clearly a glutton for punishment, Fabian also began writing several of Marvel’s top-selling X-titles, including X-FORCE, CABLE, DEADPOOL and the company’s #1 selling book, X-MEN. These books not only sold millions of copies to gazillions of readers, Fabian also got to star in a series of X-Men Pizza Hut videos.
And outside of comics, Fabian has worked with STARLIGHT RUNNER ENTERTAINMENT for 20 years on story world development and franchise management consultation for some of the biggest entertainment companies on some of the biggest properties.
He has written two novels including SUBURBAN DICKS which was nominated by the Mystery Writers of America for an Edgar Award.
His NEW comic Free Agents is out NOW! You should go pick it up it's a lot of fun.
