About this listen

Ever wonder if your favorite 90s comic books hold up? Are you worried nostalgia is clouding your memories? Do you want to hear a trio of dorks discuss this?

If you bothered answering those hypothetical questions at all, The 90s Never Happened is the podcast for you! Join Daniel Aegan as he drags Jude Graves and Bree Rose through a decade mired in slop. Find out if the big guns and bigger breasts of 90s comics stood the test of time. Will Jude’s comic virginity save her from a decade out to harm her mind? Will Bree be able to contain her giggles during any given episode? Will Dan be able to hold it all together when his co-hosts can’t go a minute without making things feel hot and wrong?

The 90s are back, and no one is happy about it. Join the crew and relive events like Maximum Carnage, Fatal Attractions, that time Wolverine ripped off Thing’s face, and more action than you can handle.

This will be your only warning.

    Welcome to The 90s Never Happened, your one-stop podcast for everything you wanted to know about 90s comics but are too afraid to ask!

    Happy belated Valentine's Day from Dan, Jude, and Bree. On this special holiday episode, we read 1997's Marvel Valentine Special, which includes five short lovey dovey tales featuring Spider-Man and Mary Jane, Daredevil, Venus, Absorbing Man and Titania, and Cyclops and Jean Grey! Do these five stories bring up feelings of love or trigger our collective gag reflexes?

    You may have eaten your last heart-shaped chocolate, but we're going to keep bringing you gifts in audio form! Like, subscribe, and tell your lovers. If anyone stops the coitus to ask what comic books they should read, be sure and tell them the 90s never happened!

  • Episode 9: Way Too Much Carnage
    Feb 11 2026

    Welcome to The 90s Never Happened, your one-stop podcast for everything you wanted to know about 90s comics but are too afraid to ask!

    We finally get around to finishing Maximum Carnage! Dan, Jude, and Bree read part 14 in Spider-Man Unlimited #2. They discuss how Peter was right to lock Mary Jane out of his double life, why Spider-Man has such a hardon for sparing Carnage's life, and what happens when comic book writers don't know how electric facilities operate. Also, we talk about the comic book.

    This roller coaster may be over, but this show sure isn't! Like, subscribe, and tell your friends. Go to confession while you're at it. If your priest asks what comics he should read, make sure and tell him The 90's Never Happened.

    Programming note: At the end of this episode we discuss jumping into Amazing Spider-Man 366-369 for the saga of Peter's parents. Instead, we'll be reading 1997's Marvel Valentine Special--just in time to be three entire days late for a Valentine's Day episode!

  • Episode 8: Symbiotic Plot Armor
    Feb 4 2026

    Welcome to The 90s Never Happened, your one-stop podcast for everything you wanted to know about 90s comics but are too afraid to ask!

    Jude is back from her stint in prison, so we're web-shooters deep into Maximum Carnage. This week, we've read parts 9-13. In the penultimate episode of this crossover, we get exhausted from the amount of superheroes in this thing, Captain America's forced patriotism, and Peter's gaslighting of Mary Jane. And what the hell are Morbius, Deathlok, and Iron Fist even doing here?

    As always, like and subscribe. Tell a friend. Make sure your proctologist listens. Leave a review, especially if you hate us. This thing runs on props.

    If anyone asks you what comics to read, tell them The 90s Never Happened!
