X-MEN (2000)!
from Pop Culture Historians · host Ryan Ritter
This week, we conclude our walk through the superhero movies of the 90’s by entering the new millennium! The original X-MEN is lean and narrow in focus, but the themes it explores might be even more relevant now than they were twenty-five years ago. What music star really wanted to be Professor X? Also, who else would have wanted to see a Kathryn Bigelow directed version of this starring Bob Hoskins? Finally, is this the canonical start of the MCU now? All this AND MORE will be explored!
