    Best podcast ever
    Would die for Rosie and Jason. So thankful to have them back to talk about my X Men 97.

    Best in the game!
    I love this pod so much! They are hilarious and know everything from the source material of the movies/tv they discuss while also adding a lot of comedy and humanity because they are great people. Come for the thoughts stay for the laughs!

    So grateful that they are back!
    I discovered Jason during the Binge Mode Star Wars. He and Mal helped me discover some really interesting stories that have changed my life. The direction he has taken X-Ray Vision with Rosie and guests has pushed me to discover even more incredible stories, and I will always be grateful for that. I’m so glad they are back and can’t wait to see where they will go from here. Thank you Jason and Rosie.

    Jason amazing rosie terrible
    Jason is funny smart and an amazing podcaster. Rosie is the opposite of all of those things and she needs to slow down and let him speak. She just talks over Jason nonstop and calls everything iconic and queer. If she just chilled out and let Jason lead the show this would be a good podcast instead of borderline unlistenable
  • dceagle123
    It’s back baby!
    Super stoked that this podcast showed up in my feed! Yay! What a nice treat. Great to have Rosie and Jason back in my life.

    They’re Back!!!!
    So excited they’re back to podding. I’ve been a fan of Jason’s nerdy podcasts (no offense to your sports side) for years and now following Rosie’s work is a bonus.
  • Awesome? Awesome.
    Love it!
    Love this show! So glad they’re back!
  • berrrrrg
    Love this show
    Terrific perspectives and love how they shed light on elements of the stories they review. Like having a passionate conversation with your pals. Great podcast on pop culture.
  • Kdmdjdjdjd
    Tough look for our guy.
    This would’ve gone better with less Rosie. She was fun when she wasn’t permanent but then she was too much all the time.

    Love Jason & Rosie! Love the show. A little afraid after all of the thank yous today that the show is going away. Hope not! You all are the best.

    Jason and Rosie Rule
    I’m new to X-Ray Vision but already adore it dearly. Jason and Rosie provide insightful commentary and give engaging interviews with industry luminaries. If I ever say I don’t love this podcast, assume I’ve been replaced by a Skrull. Come say hi in the discord!

    Searched “comics” in Apple Podcasts
    A couple of years ago I was looking for comic and pop culture podcasts and I found x-ray vision. The knowledge of history from Rosie and Jason are exactly what I needed. Everything that I love they cover, GOT, comics, tv, etc. thank y’all for keeping this show awesome. You have a fan for life!
  • J-Love92
    Opened Apple for first time for this Review
    This podcast is like going back in time to watch anime and play video games with friends after school. Learning about a new tv series, comic book, or video game from Jason and Rosie is as fun as hearing about things I already love. And the guests are great, especially Cody Ziglar who I already wanted to befriend but now even more that I know he puts his amigos in his work. Thank you for this!
  • tracckman
    Best pop culture podcast out there
    Jason and Rosie are a really delightful combo of a ridiculous amount pop culture knowledge. I relish their comics recommendations, and I appreciate their insightful approach to breaking down shows and movies. They aren’t there to destroy stuff they don’t like, they’re critics who are finding what works and celebrating that these stories are being told at all! It’s a refreshing approach to criticism. Thanks my guys.
  • nimbochromis8
    Love these people!
    I’ve been listening to this podcast since Day One; it’s been great from the start and only getting better. Every time my phone notifies me of a new episode, I’m like, “Well obviously that’s what I’m listening to next!” Listening to Jason and Rosie (so happy she’s now a full-fledged co-host!) is a joy! Their enthusiasm is infectious and their knowledge is extensive. As a nerd who doesn’t have much comic book knowledge, I really appreciate the context these two provide to all the superhero movies and shows out there. The Force is strong with this one; mischief managed expertly; with great fandom comes great responsibility; you have my bow AND my axe; I hope this show lives long and prospers (don’t hate me for putting Star Wars and Star Trek in the same sentence)!

    Advertisements too long and annoying
    Lol. That hello in the beginning is extremely annoying. The advertisement in the middle are way too long and appreciatingly. Annoying to listen to. Please make them shorter.

    Insightful Comic Commentary
    Rosie and Jason are both great, and when the podcast was first released I never missed a week. I started noticing that Rosie and Jason talk over each other constantly, particularly Rosie, and it just started to really grate on me so I stopped listening. But after I saw the new Spider-Man movie I was super excited to hear what they both had to say about it: I know a lot about what Rosie thought of it because she interrupts Jason literally every time he starts speaking. I didn’t mean to hate listen but I was trying to catch a moment where Jason actually finishes a thought without Rosie talking over and it doesn’t happen - very very frustrating.
  • Traci from Brooklyn
    The best!
    X-Ray Vision is like a great hang with funny, knowledgeable, thoughtful friends who clue you in to the cool stuff. Thank you Jason and Rosie!
  • Sid-Ken
    Get my geek on
    I have been a fan of Jason's from the Ringer days and was happy to follow him over to Crooked. He has introduced to so much great stuff and also brought in Rosie and Zig so life is better because of X-Ray Vision.
  • mallratt42
    One of my favorites!
    My only complaint is that Rosie and Jason don’t cover literally everything I consume. So I guess my real complaint is that the multiverse doesn’t actually exist. But that isn’t their fault.
  • J . R. Scherer
    Listen to this podcast
    Jason and Rosie are great hosts and I love their immense enthusiasm. It’s also super rare that this old nerd (me) says “Well, actually…” while listening and that’s impressive!
  • HeySuburban
    👍🏻
    I only listen to the YellowJackets episodes, as I don’t watch any of the other shows they cover, but I really enjoy their commentary and how deep they go. They sometimes hit on theories or ideas I don’t hear in other recaps of the show. I’ve loved Jason since his Ringer days, and while I miss his chemistry with Mal, Rosie is a worthy partner and a great host. I only wish they did stand-alone episodes on each show so I didn’t have to skip content and try to figure out timestamps. I just want more from them!
  • davidsonrachel6
    Incredible
    Look, Rosie and Jason are delightful and funny hosts with a left wing bent, but that’s obvious. What stops me in my tracks is Rosie’s uncanny knowledge of comics. As a tannic the only thing I can compare it to is great rabbi’s knowledge of the Talmud. It’s incredible
  • flangeslammer
    a real shame
    Jason was one of the best a most listenable podcasters in this space for years and now he hosts a show that is utterly unlistenable and caters solely for capital “F” Marvel Fans
  • Aschvez84
    💜 Rosie and Jason
    Rosie and Jason are so fun and entertaining. I’m not even a big comic /Sci fi person and I still listen because they are THAT good. Very appreciate their inclusivity and how they make everything so easy to understand. Rosie knows EVERYTHING 🙌🏼
  • MD-Ph0t0
    Great show!
    I love the show. It has turned me on to a bunch of comic stories and shows. I do wish they would stick to sci-fi and fantasy shows though. I’m kinda tired of hearing about Succession.
  • StillDixieLandingsToMe
    Knowledgeable
    Great team and lots of fun!
  • ncflah
    Truly the best listen
    I LOVE X-Ray Vision. I’ve wanted to get into comics for a long time but was never sure where to start. Jason and Rosie provide excellent recommendations in a way that is inclusive of comics newbies and experts alike. The banter between Jason and Rosie is the best. Each episode feels like listening to two friends catch you up on what they watched over the weekend. I can’t recommend this podcast enough.
  • OhBobSaget4489
    Simply the best!
    I could listen to Jason and Rosie talk all day. They’re super knowledgeable when it comes to all things comics and just nerd culture in general. Listening to these two is always the highlight of my week. Thank you for keeping everyone sane, all the best! KG
  • Mikez33
    One of the best shows around!
    First time, semi-long time! Worlds collided this week when Jason from How Did This Get Made? (one of the first podcasts I ever heard) was a guest on this amazing show which I recently found. Thanks for all of the hard work on these shows we love, especially Andor and Mandelorian. Love hearing your takes and breakdowns. Recommend this to anyone who wants to expand their knowledge in geek culture.
  • Dkandeezy23232323
    Market Moves
    For a show that has been very Marvel- and Star Wars-heavy (I get it, Disney cranks out the most content), it’s fun when this podcast covers something really different. Market Moves is my favorite segment. And I’m sad that it’ll end when Succession ends in a few weeks ☹️
  • kayceemay_
    Jason is hilarious! Glad he signed on with Crooked Media
    Been listening to Jason since Binge Mode and think his hosting style is hilarious and totally fun to listen to when you want to learn more behind a show. Can’t wait to tune into the analysis for Succession last season!
  • Who?!?!?!
    Hey Mike…
    This Steiny from Yakima. I just wanted everyone to notice what Jason and Rosie have going on over at X-Ray Vision, Mike. These two are really producing right now even with the increased workload and that’s really commendable, Mike. Anybody looking for funny content but also in-depth analysis of anything going on the the nerd-verse should definitely check them out, Mike. My question is do you think they can keep this level of quality putting out two episodes a week? I think they can, Mike, but just wanted to hear your thoughts on that and if they’ll ever cover the Witcher series. Anyways, I’ll take my answer off the air.
  • Beargrissly
    “I’ll take my answer off the air”
    I love, love, love both of you. I listen at work with my headphones on and I’m always laughing out loud out of nowhere, people think I’m crazy. But I’m trying to get everyone to listen so they can all join the Vision!!! Thank you so much for this wonderful pod.
  • sinisterjhk
    Great, fun, engaging podcast
    I really love the X-Ray vision podcast. I was a big fan of Jason’s from the Ringer and also a fan of Rosie’s from the old Orbital Comics podcast (great shop, RIP). Jason and Rosie bring so much enthusiasm to their topics and it’s just what I’m looking for. I appreciate that they provide valid and thoughtful criticisms of movies, tv, etc. but they’re not here to just trash stuff. They bring an optimism to their discussion that finds the good in various projects and they really seem to love what they’re doing. It’s great discussion because they are both incredibly knowledgeable about the topics, including discussion of comics.
  • M- J
    It makes me happy!
    X-ray vision will always get five stars from me! Your podcast is insightful, informative, fun, and funny! I love everything that Jason and Rosie do! Twice a week, I look forward to hearing your show! Your show makes me happy!
  • lamottskidaleeboomboom
    Coverage is weird
    I enjoy this podcast but find the selection of covered shows out of sync with what is available. Why is Succession covered but no mention of Carnival Row? Do networks fund this podcast? Seems to be a major slant toward Warner Bros material and Disney. I do enjoy the in depth coverage of comic book history and lore. Definitely get a bigger picture of Marvel and DC. And the banter.
  • Johnnyblas
    Fantastic
    Jason and Rosie are very well researched and hilarious. Love this podcast. Their love of comics has introduced me, and through me, my children to the wonderful world of comics. Thank you so very much for your commitment to excellence!
  • allisongower
    Absolutely awesome and so fun to listen to
    It’s a great way to bond with my teen son who like me is a huge comic / marvel / DC fan. We listen together and he often stops you to explain more to me. No notes ! Love you !

    Rules
    Before making a strong point about something maybe rewatch it? The judge clearly states the rules of the challenge to fire three shots in any order.

    10/10 No Notes
    X-Ray Vision is a recurring bright spot in my week. Jason and Rosie have amazing chemistry and their show / movie recaps have me laughing throughout; I almost enjoy the recap more than the content being recapped! The Mandalorian S3E4 recap may be the best yet, everyone who watches should give it a listen. Keep it up guys!!!
  • Tondi T
    Yay
    You guys are great. I wrote a long thing about how great this pod is, then felt weird and deleted it and posted this instead. 15/10 recommend

  • Lars66542488
    The best
    The only downside is sometimes I laugh too much to keep doing my chores. Truly a great time every episode
  • Maccaluv18
    Love you Jason, one suggestion
    I was not asked for an opinion but I will share anyway. Jason you are so amazing, a great and thoughtful host. Rosie, while very knowledgeable and interesting, you could make your podcast a lot more enjoyable if you would reel in your excitement and stop interrupting Jason when he is speaking. It gets tedious for the listener, to constantly hear you talk over him or interrupt him. It’s obviously from a place of joy and excitement over a topic, so I understand but it does not translate well to the listener.
  • Derrat68
    Last of Us Video Game part 3 episode
    OMG!!! I was wondering if I should take the time to listen to this episode since I’m not a player of the game. I just love the series. Thank the many gods I did! Such an awesome show! I absolutely love the insights! Jason and Rosie are just brilliant! Can’t wait for a new season and new takes! Muah! Thank you!
  • N Overton
    Just can’t take the voices
    Listening to these two hurts my ears.
  • OG Tilden
    Dr. Pershing is a Clone
    Hello & thank you for your thoughtful takes on my beloved universes. I feel seen when listening to XRV. Dude is such a clone. He’s scratching at a chip behind his ear, first off. He acts like a babe in the streets of C. He worked on Kamino, likely. His OG likely knew Omega. He’s got ghost memories of his OG which explains his drive to continue his work and yet naïveté of B&E on a starcruiser. His biscuit love is ideal to explain newer Clone lives. Rudimentary yet tasty. En masse. Dude’s super young. It even answers why probing babies is so normalized for him. Mind flaying him reminds us of how easy manipulation of the brain is in this galaxy far away. That tech is used a lot I bet. I’d be honored if you ruminated on this for our ears. Posit as you will but now that I’ve seen it I can’t unsee it. Who knows? Excelsior! -Tilden
  • Swat3737
    The most fun hosts ever!
    This podcast is so fun and hilarious and also, so insightful! Jason and Rosie have great chemistry and deeeeeep knowledge of their subjects! Look forward to the pods every week
  • Bae_venclaw
    Please let Jason finish a sentence
    Been a Jason fan since Bing Mode and I like Rosie but my goodness her near-CONSTANT interruptions are really turning me off this pod. Please let my dude get a word in edgewise.
