Welcome true believers to X-Men Horoscopes where each week our host Lodro Rinzler is in conversation with a special guest to discuss the X-Men issue that aligns with a significant month and year from their life and what that issue reveals about their future.

This week we have cosplay couple Bridgett and Stephen Farruggia on the show to discuss their wedding anniversary issue (X-Men Gold 3) where a weird team of X-Men have to fight an even weirder team of Brotherhood of Evil Mutants to rescue Bill de Blasio.

We also play the X-Newlywed Game! How do they measure up to current champions Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly? Not great!

Also in this episode:

• Don’t put two fire guys on your team!
• Magma is hot Johnny Storm
• Rockslide and Armor are great…at not getting hurt
• Angel is a negligent billionaire and there should be a repercussion for not giving a f*ck
• Just let Rachel Summers be Rachel Summers
• Villains have to ask whether Shadowcat is spelling her name with a K in order to know how seriously they have to take her
• Nightcrawler drives like Jamie Lee Curtis on The Bear

What does any of this mean for the future of their relationship? Tune in to find out!
