X-Ray Vision - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Jason and Rosie are so delightful to listen to, I find myself choosing new shows to watch based on what they’ve discussed already so I can listen to more of their content, their banter with each other is so fun and their knowledge of the material they break down is always helpful and insightful. so happy this show is back on air!!

I enjoy spending time with J & R. Even when the material they are covering might disappoint or frustrate they celebrate. It has become difficult for me to engage with some long time favorite shows that operate in the nerd culture space because they have lost what is joyful about the work. J & R are careful, empathetic, intuitive, and so smart about what they choose to share with listeners. Always genuine, always honest. And a pleasure to listen to.

But the constant screaming and cackling into the microphone is just unbearable. Please have someone mix your sound levels. Also a good quarter of every episode is the hosts straight reading off of a Wikipedia page. I appreciate the background for some of these characters and properties, but the delivery is so flat. This show has a lot of potential, but it’s not quite there.

Jason and Rosie and so delightfully nerdy and they make me excited about whatever they’re talking about. I’ve always been into the X-Men from the cartoon and the MCU stuff, but they’ve inspired me to start reading comics! Thank y’all! I will say though since they’ve been back there are WAAAAYYYYY too many ads. The show is like half ads now.

I love Jason, and I love a lot of what Rosie brings to the table, but I feel like Rosie has gotten some severe main character syndrome lately and cannot let someone finish a thought without interrupting. Rosie, you’re great, but we don’t need you to participate in every sentence. It makes a potentially great podcast into borderline unlistenable at times.
