Twenty-three years have passed since the mutants of Marvel Comics made their big-screen debut. And it's an understatement to say the cinematic landscape has itself mutated since X-Men hit theaters. So on this 23rd anniversary of the film that started it all, we're taking a look back at Fox's dearly departed mutant saga with a mega-series covering 10 X-Men films.
Brian Skutle of Sonic Cinema joins the show to kick off our X-Men retrospective with an in-depth conversation about 2000's X-Men. We'll discuss how it changed the world of superhero movies, why its themes are more relevant than ever, and what challenges Marvel Studios needs to overcome to successfully bring Professor X and company into the MCU.
