X-Men: The Last Stand (20th Anniversary) (feat. Shy)

About this episode

The episode features a rewatchable review of 'X-Men: The Last Stand' and discusses its impact and the handling of the Phoenix Saga.

In this episode, we do a rewatchable review of the 2006 concluding film in the original live-action X-Men trilogy, X-Men: The Last Stand, starring Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, and Halle Berry. We discuss whether the film has aged well, especially as one of the early adaptations of the superhero genre, and we debate whether we liked how the Phoenix Saga with Jean Grey was handled.
