This week, join Tobi and Ian as they finally get another chance to profess their love for all things animation with their thoughts on X-Men 97, a short but sweet review of Scavenger's Reign and general thoughts on the golden age of animation we happily find ourselves in these days.

And of course, it wouldn't be the Fantom Zone if Tobi didn't get to talk about Star Wars, so we also have some chat about a galaxy far, far away.

Enjoy!

Hello there. This week, Chris, Tobi and Ian go back 25 years to a galaxy far, far away to talk all about Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace.
