Merry Christmas! Your Gift is No New Episode!

And enjoy the dulcet tones of Hall and Oates as they let us know the true meaning of the season:



See you in the new year!

Episode #51 - X-Men Origins: Wolverine

To borrow a line from Patton Oswalt: You like Wolverine? Well, in my movie you get to see Wolverine as a little kid! Meanwhile, Stuart suggests an alternate Wolverine history of the United States, Elliott suggests some novel super-villains, Dan makes Elliott do a spit take, and contest winner Dash has the decency to be a really nice guy and not a serial killer we were foolish enough to let into the apartment.

Elliott in The Onion
