Held up as one of the best comic book adaptations, does X-Men 2 (or X2) still hold up in 2024? Listen as Ashley, Ciaran and Dylan discuss the film, talk about the new mutants introduced like Nightcrawler and question why the film had to end that way.

Here we are at the first release in the X-Men cinematic franchise and the first appearance of Hugh Jackamn as Logan. Listen as Ashley, Ciaran and Dylan discuss the film, talk about how Rogue is used in the movie and question if it could have worked with comics-accurate costumes.

Here we are revisiting the first of Hugh Jackman’s solo Wolverine films which looked to answer how Wolverine came to be an adamantium-filled amnesiac.
