Where were you on the day Mike Thomas filibustered about the rebooted X-Men timeline for 15 straight minutes?
The Reel World’s podcasting empire began three years and 199 episodes ago with a review of the first X-Men movie. Now we present to you our magnum opus: a one hour argument about Dark Phoenix. Enjoy. Continue reading Mike & Matt’s X-Cellent Adventures: Episode #17 – Dark Phoenix
Jerome and Brian end their X-Men run by reviewing one of the greatest superhero films of all-time, one that may be regarded as one of the best films of the decade and received an Academy Award nomination. They also review Dark Phoenix. Continue reading The Superhero Pantheon Vol. 2 – Episode 16: Logan & Dark Phoenix
It’s been a really solid last couple weeks for the podcast. That comes to a screeching halt this week as they discuss a total of a mess of a film that features the debuting Ivan Ooze…I mean, Apocalypse. Jerome and Brian examine a movie with too many flashbacks and subplots but not enough X-Men at the mall. Is this film messy enough to be Pile of Shame worthy? Continue reading The Superhero Pantheon Vol. 2 – Episode 15: X-Men: Apocalypse
How can a movie that makes two movies disappear and retconn previous actions be good? Somehow, Days of Future Past was able to accomplish a miracle. This week, Jerome and Brian discuss an ambitious crossover that took place in 2023 before Avengers: Endgame. Will this prequel/sequel/reboot be good enough to cross over into the Pantheon?
Continue reading The Superhero Pantheon Vol. 2 – Episode 14: X-Men: Days of Future Past
Jerome and Brian discussed X-Men Origins: Wolverine about a year ago as part of a Ryan Reynolds month. Listen to this throwback before getting to the regular episode this week. The Wolverine is a much maligned film, but Jerome and Brian have different feelings. Continue reading The Superhero Pantheon Vol. 2 – Episode 13: X-Men Origins: Wolverine & The Wolverine
You may have forgotten about the 2011 X-Men team-up movie, but Jerome and Brian did not. They go back to 1963 and take a look at when the team first started. Who cares about timelines when groovy powers are being showcased and out of this world costuming is seen on every corner. The acting is stellar (minus a certain very specific actor), and maybe this will be good enough to be the second X-Men film put into the Superhero Pantheon. Continue reading The Superhero Pantheon Vol. 2 – Episode 12: X-Men: First Class
Jerome and Brian examine one of the most controversial and disappointing superhero movies of all-time, the climax of the first Marvel superhero trilogy as Brett Ratner takes over for Bryan Singer and nearly tanks an entire franchise. Is it bad enough to qualify for the pile of shame? Continue reading The Superhero Pantheon Vol. 2 – Episode 11: X-Men: The Last Stand
Jerome and Brian reviewed the first X-Men movie about a year ago, so this felt like a good time to repost that episode onto the Reel World feed (Apologies for the audio quality.)
Then it’s fresh content and the duo discuss the second X-Men film, generally regarded as one of the best superhero films ever made. Will it make the Pantheon?!
(Editor’s Note: The X2 review starts around the 55:00 mark). Continue reading The Superhero Pantheon Vol. 2 – Episode 10: X-Men & X-Men 2
In what would originally have been the second of FOUR episodes of X-Cellent Adventures had New Mutants and Dark Phoenix not been bumped to 2019, Mike & Matt return to their true calling and share their thoughts on the second season of Noah Hawley’s Legion. Just you wait until you hear how Mike Thomas experienced the season’s best episode. Continue reading Mike & Matt’s X-Cellent Adventures: Episode #16 – Legion Season 2
X-Cellent Adventures is back! Deadpool is back! Mike Thomas is back! ‘Intentionally’ crappy MS Paint show posters are back! Will our listener count be back? Prolly not! Continue reading Mike & Matt’s X-Cellent Adventures: Episode #15 – Deadpool 2
