Ever wondered if you could turn a piece of paper into a whistle? We kick off our latest episode with a fun and quirky experiment that sets the stage for a comprehensive critique of the Marvel Universe, focusing on the Fox Marvel movies. From an in-depth look at "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" to a lively discussion about the upcoming Deadpool and Wolverine crossover, we cover it all. You'll get the scoop on the notorious work print leak of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" that led to over 10 million downloads – all thanks to Rupert Murdoch's slip-up.
Remember the thrill and disappointment of watching "X-Men Origins: Wolverine"? We do too. Join us as we share our personal experiences of watching the film, from midnight movie screenings to the complications of downloading content back in the day. We dissect the plot, performances, and execution, highlighting Hugh Jackman's standout moments and comparing them to the more successful "Logan." Our analysis tears into the film's narrative flaws, character inconsistencies, and those infamous adamantium claws, ultimately reflecting on what could have been a much stronger movie.
To wrap up, we take a critical look at Wolverine's interactions with characters like Sabretooth and Gambit, questioning the logic behind certain plot points and decisions. We break down key fight scenes, analyze Wolverine's peculiar abilities, and even dive into absurd costume choices and misguided character portrayals. Plus, we sprinkle in our thoughts on recent media hits like "Crimetastic" on YouTube and share our excitement for nostalgic upcoming films like "Bad Boys Ride or Die" and the new "Beverly Hills Cop" movie. Don't miss our teaser for next week's review of "John Carter" – it promises to be a blast!
