Geeks Unleashed Geeks Unleashed

After last week's anti-climactic end to the original X-Men trilogy, we decided to go back to the source material. We're reading The Dark Phoenix Saga to see what could have been. But be warned, this saga is not so easily digestible for comic novices.

And here we are... The movie in this series we like to pretend doesn't exist. Now in 2024, is this film as bad as it was back in 2006? Listen in to hear what we think!

A rare occasion in film where the sequel is better than the original? We certainly think X2 fits the bill. We did get a bit sidetracked at the beginning of the episode with our discussion on Quiet On Set. Trigger warning, we do briefly mention some of the abuse that the documentary covers.

We are back this week with, arguably, the film that kicked off our higher expectations in the Superhero film genre. (2008 took that to new heights, but that's another conversation for another day...) X-Men, or as Mark calls it, The Wolverine Show, really raised the bar for comic book films! All this and more as we continue our run of all the mutant films!
