This week we dive into the first X-Men movie. Highlights: we struggle to understand the motivations of Magneto and Xavier, wade through the history of the many characters who make appearances in the flick, speculate on why Wolverine is pissy, Cyclops is dickish, and Jean Gray is maybe a little boring (in the movie), note the differences in powers between men and women in X-Men and how it affects the way they fight, discuss the many sordid relationships in X-Men history, hear Sean’s why-Xavier-is-evil argument, and talk battle room, Storm’s sex life, bubble boobs, and comics as life inspiration.
Happy birthday Audra and I love the performance by Meow marmalade.
