Episode 059 – X is for Xtinction

==Episode Description==
In which Chris and Chad teach us to stop worrying and love the ‘90s; the line between parody and homage is thin and flexible; everything happens at the mall; no one wants to play volleyball with Cyclops; and we totally fail to resolve the question, “Does a mall babe eat chili fries?”

== Listener Questions ==
* Four or five different people wondered if Chris Sims and Chad Bowers do the animated series voices while they're writing
* Besides scorpions, what's something else you'd like to see Wolverine covered in?
* What I'd like to know is if the last issue of X-Men '92 will be weirdly written and have a different art style like the last season of the animated series? Will it feel out of place, and will Xavier leave for space for a really stupid reason?
* How difficult is it to write Cyclops considering his personality in the cartoon and the not-so-much-love Chris has for him?
* I haven't read much from the 90s X-Men. Are there any story arcs from that era that you would suggest as background reading for your series?
