We are back this week with, arguably, the film that kicked off our higher expectations in the Superhero film genre. (2008 took that to new heights, but that's another conversation for another day...) X-Men, or as Mark calls it, The Wolverine Show, really raised the bar for comic book films! All this and more as we continue our run of all the mutant films!   TRACKLIST:1:19 - Geek of the Week: Jasmin - Dangerous Convenience Store Vol 2; Mark - Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire10:08 - Summary and fun...

And here we go! Kicking off our BIGGEST themed run EVER -- the Geeks are tackling every single X-Men film. And yes, we mean EVERY one of them.

Finishing up our time on Earth-701306, and we're grateful there weren't anymore sequels here. The year was 2005, the soundtrack is blah (compared to Daredevil two years prior), and a lot people phoned it on for this one.   TRACKLIST:1:21 - Geek of the Week: Jasmin - Buchigiri; Mark - Kin Season 210:11 - Elektra summary and fun facts19:27 - Elektra (2005) review   You can follow us on X, Facebook and Instagram or if you would like to support us you can donate to our KoFi.

Mark needed a pallet cleanser after last week's Street Fighter episode, and so Jasmin thought yet another video game adaptation would do the trick! We covered the MK reboot waaaaayyyyy back on episode 46! But we're taking it back to the OG -- Mortal Kombat (1995). Jasmin was worried that Mark would hate this film so badly that she'd need to recruit a new co-host. Did the Geeks have a falling out?
