Episode 169 - Bad Kansas

==Episode Description==
In which Justin Thyme is a forgotten superstar of comics; Nazis should pretty much never be used as a metaphor; Charles Xavier is somehow even worse than usual; Excalibur may lack object permanence; Phoenix defeats Hitler with the power of gayness; we may have hit Peak Nocenti; Brett Blevins should draw Boom Boom forever; and the New Mutants get a taste of media theory.

== Listener Questions ==
* I haven't purchased comics in a long time, for a long story of reasons, but I want to dive back in. However, I'm also trying to be more socially conscious, and I want to support writing that does the same. Where should an X and Runaways fan put their dollars these days?
* What are your thoughts on The Gifted and the New Mutants trailer?
