"CHECK OUT THOSE SUITS-- AAAND THEY'RE GONE."

Months before Days of Future Past released, the third film in the trilogy was set for May 2016 -- and confirmed to center around Apocalypse, the oldest and most powerful mutant. After DOFP's massive success, reports that this would be the biggest and most destructive X-Men movie yet, a whole new slate of spin-off films on the horizon, and beloved characters finally getting time to shine, how could this go wrong? The answer is, of course, a lot of ways -- but is it truly as bad as people have insisted it is? Join Brian and Alec to find out as they continue the X-MENATHON by revisiting the pot-and-kettle of the prequel trilogy -- X-MEN: APOCALYPSE!

"WE NEED YOU TO HOPE AGAIN."

After the success of First Class, Matthew Vaughn and Fox reached an impasse in regards to adapting one of the most iconic X-Men stories of all time: Days of Future Past. While he wanted to wait and do it in the third movie, Fox wanted to fast-track it for the second, resulting in him walking. Sure enough, as they wanted, the movie got made -- to mass acclaim and success. This movie was arguably Endgame before Endgame, a culmination of two eras that many -- to this day -- argue should've been the end of Fox's run of X-Men films. Well, ten whole years later (god, I hate saying that), how does it hold up? Come join Brian and Alec to find out as they continue the X-MENATHON by revisiting what many consider to be the Children of the Atom's best film -- X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST!

AKA "X-MEN ORIGINS: WEABOO."

Despite the historical failure of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, 20th Century Fox had a plan in their back pocket -- taking what was supposed to be the original film and producing it as a sequel. This film had its own developmental hell, for a while it was going to be helmed by auteur Darren Aronofsky, while still being yet another prequel. However, once the ball got rolling with director James Mangold, the movie finally got made -- as a continuation of The Last Stand. And while this movie had so much more going for it, the third act unfortunately fell victim to the bad case of "Exec throws a bowling ball onto the chess table during the endgame" its predecessor did. Despite all of this, how does the movie hold up eleven years later? Come join Brian and Alec to find out as they revisit the less-talked about and highly-underrated middle child of Logan's trilogy -- THE WOLVERINE!
