We hit another of those Undisputed Classics, as our Wolverine-chronological trawl through the X-universe takes us onto Bryan Singer's 2003 film, X2. But does the film still hold up to modern eyes? And more importantly, what the hell is the thing called, anyway? These questions and more are settled by Joe, Seb and James, who also run through some of the big recent headlines - including Mega City One, new Hellboy and Robert Zemeckis potentially directing The Flash. But not Tom Hardy as Venom, because that broke after we recorded it.

Showtime, A-holes. The Cinematic Universe family of Joe, Seb and James are here to give our thoughts on James Gunn's newly-released Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2. As usual, there's no news section, but instead there's a quarter of an hour of spoiler-free opinions before we launch into a spoiler-filled chat - just in case any of you haven't seen the film yet. But really, would you be a Cinematic Universe listener and not have seen this film yet?

Much derided ever since its original release, does Tim Story's 2005 adaptation of Fantastic Four stand up any better since the Josh Trank one came out? Was it ever even really that bad in the first place? Find out as Joe, Seb and James look back at Chris Evans' first superhero movie. There's also some slightly out of date news (we recorded this one weeks ago, but we thought you might still want to hear what we thought of those Spidey and Justice League trailers), and after fifty episodes with the original logo, we've rebranded a bit! Hope you like the new look.

It's only taken us 50 regular episodes, but we've finally found a comic book movie directed by a woman! The movie in question is, of course, Rachel Talalay's 1995 cult classic, Tank Girl. But will newcomers Seb and Joe love it as much as James has spent the last two decades doing?
