POPULARITY
In a world where no one had ever heard of superhero fatigue, Bryan Singer's X-Men films dared to be a new breed of comic book movie that were deeply ashamed of where they came from. But are they better than Transformers? Join us this week as we also discuss the future of the Terminator franchise, ridicule the new Venom trailer, and maintain an aggressive lack of interest in Star Trek.
In this episode, Tyler and Reed discuss Ryan Coogler's Black Panther and Bryan Singer's X-Men.
This week Sean and Steven saw the newest and last entry into Hugh Jackman's Wolverine saga called Logan directed by James Mangold. Then they get into their "versus" for the week with classic comic book fare as they discuss Bryan Singer's X-Men movie and pit it against Sam Raimi's Spider-Man. Rate and review us on iTunes and enjoy!
PLEASE NOTE: The audio quality on this ep is a little sub-optimal, we were using new equipment. Our sincere apologies - we are working on it never happening again. In this ep things get a bit silly for no reason, which is probably not such a good thing considering Bryan Singer's X-MEN (2000) has one of the most serious and heavy opening scenes in CBM history. X-MEN is a really important movie in the wider canon of comic book movies: it really was the beginning of the boom, so the movie deserves respect just for that (and being probably the first actually good comic book movie since Superman II). Follow us on social media (@TCApod) and give us a good review on iTunes!
Four long years before the release of Bryan Singer's X-Men there was Generation X. Debuting on Fox in 1996 and adapted from a Marvel comic of the same name, it serves as the very first live-action X-Men movie. Join Dan and Mike as they spend 90 minutes discussing not only this made-for-TV movie, but also changes in a character's race, Night Court, The Real World, and the awesomeness that is Matt Frewer.

Did you know Bryan Singer's "X-Men" was NOT the first X-Universe movie? Perhaps rightfully forgotten, Marvel's Merry Mutants made their live-action debut back in 1996, in the FOX TV movie "Generation X," an adaptation of the then mega-popular comic series about the younger generation of future X-Men. We watched it, so you don't have to, and this week we have an in-depth discussion about this unsuccessful (on so many levels) attempt at capturing the X-Universe on film. But first, we ponder Ben Hardy's potential role in "X:Men: Apocalypse," and debut a new segment, X-Tra Stupid Question of the Week, this time speculating on which X-Man would make the best retail manager. Plus, we get ready for our upcoming Age of Apocalypse episode, by looking at the lead-in story, Legion Quest.

In this special episode, Trev & Joe provide a running audio commentary for Bryan Singer's X-Men (2000), X-amining the film's highlights and lowlights. Wolverine's hair, Rogue's re-invention, Storm's questionable accent, and Magneto's clacking balls...all this and more are discussed, incuding the casting decisions that could have been, and how the movie holds up to today's glut of superhero films. NOTE: While it might be fun to watch the movie along with the guys during this commentary, it is certainly not a requirement. Contact us: facebook.com/daysoffuturepodcast daysoffuturepodcast@gmail.com Twitter & Snapchat: @dofpodcast
