We started our adventure into this branch of Marvel allllllllllll the way back in March of this year! And here we are now, 21 episodes later! Thank you so much for taking this ride with us. This block has been in the works for nearly two years over here at Geeks Unleashed, and it's a little bittersweet that it's come to a close. Our "Summer of X" has lasted almost half the year and we couldn't be more thrilled to truly end on a bang with the BILLION DOLLAR film, Deadpool & Wolverine. Not only did we take it back to Generation X, we also threw some Daredevil: Director's Cut and Elektra in for good measure. From Patrick Stewart to James McAvoy and every character in between, we've had a blast. Now here's the first film of 2024 that BOTH Geeks saw in theaters!TRACKLIST:1:20 - Geek of the Week: Jasmin - Revenger (2023, Crunchyroll); Mark - Twisters (2024)9:20 - A small 2024 podcast recap!12:09 - Film summary and fun facts24:50 - Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) review1:24:57 - Mark and Jasmin have an announcement!

To completely wrap up our stint with our favorite adamantium clad anti-hero, we read Wolverine Origin (2001). This mini series was a nice change of pace from the other X-Men collections we've read during our Summer of X series. Both Geeks really enjoyed going all the way back to the late 1800s to learn more about James Howlett.

We've finished all the team driven films and are embarking on the individual characters now. We're kicking it off with the first of the Wolverine trilogy. Jasmin has seen this film more times than she can count, but this is only Mark's second viewing. Will this have any bearing on the Geek's rating?

Between reshoots, a merger, and COVID, how much sympathy are the Geeks willing to give to the circumstances surrounding this film? Can The New Mutants surprise us in spite of its doomed production?

Call it a casualty of the merger if you'd like, but Dark Phoenix is the second to last film in this age of X-Men as lead by Fox. We definitely dig into some of the behind the scenes drama with this one, but where does it fall on our ranking of X-films so far? You've got to tune in to find out!

We are joined once again by our homie, Lynk to help us get through this -- dare we say -- underrated film? That's right, our "Summer of X" continues as we tackle The Rogue Cut of X-Men Days of Future Past. And when we say this is an underrated film, you'll understand why when we talk about the absolute POWERHOUSE year for blockbuster films that was 2014.

Although neither of the Geeks saw this film in theaters, they were united in their thoughts on this entry that restarts a struggling franchise. Also, can you guess whose powers each of us would have chosen for ourselves?

After last week's anti-climactic end to the original X-Men trilogy, we decided to go back to the source material. We're reading The Dark Phoenix Saga to see what could have been. But be warned, this saga is not so easily digestible for comic novices.

And here we are... The movie in this series we like to pretend doesn't exist. Now in 2024, is this film as bad as it was back in 2006? Listen in to hear what we think!

A rare occasion in film where the sequel is better than the original? We certainly think X2 fits the bill. We did get a bit sidetracked at the beginning of the episode with our discussion on Quiet On Set. Trigger warning, we do briefly mention some of the abuse that the documentary covers.

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!
