X-Men - Have Yourself a Morlock Little X-Mas

It’s 1995, and a cozy Christmas at X-Mansion has quickly turned into a risky blood transfusion in a sewer.  I call upon the raging wind and the retired hosts of The Hourchive — Drew Crowley, John Dedeke, Adam Jurotich, and Nick Main — to send us flying into the Marvel Animated Universe as we size up the X-Mansion Christmas tree, praise Storm’s fashion sense, and berate her leadership skills.  ****  Topics & Tangents:  The Hourchive on The X-Men (2013) and ReduX-Men (2019).  “California Dreams.”  “Saturday Morning Cartoons’ Greatest Hits” home video starring Drew Barrymore.  “Have Yourself a Morlock Little X-Mas” on the Marvel Animated Universe Wiki.  Ross Petty (Ape) and his annual holiday pantomime theatre.  “Captive Hearts,” featuring the introduction to the Morlocks, Rogue and Gambit in swimsuits, and the Wolverine Crush meme.  ****  Commercials:  The Uncanny X-Men ToyBiz Action Figures.  Lit for Christmas.  “The Christmas Book: The Ultimate Guide to Your Favorite Holiday” by Ed Daly.  ****  “X-Men” and “Have Yourself a Morlock Little X-Mas” © 1995 Filmation Associates.  Theme song by Bronwen’s Ghost.  Find us at adventcalendar.house.
