Show Notes

Tackling our next big series, we're breaking up 20th Century Fox's X-Men in groups: we'll do X-Men 1-3, the Wolverine films, and the prequels all separately.  X-Men (2000) might just be the film that ushered in the modern era of superhero movies! It's a major milestone in cinema, so it's appropriate for it to be a 1-year milestone for Films from the Phantom Zone!  X-Men stars Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, and Sirs Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen!

Trigger Warning: On Keep or Cancel , we're discussing director Brian Singer, known pedophile and alleged rapist.  Because of the no-brainer decision, we also discuss the separation of art and artist.

X-Men (2000) is available on Disney+, in the Marvel Legacy section.
