Last year, Fox released the final installment in its X-Men series of films. In a way, it brought the series full circle, bringing the timeline to the decade before the original X-Men is set and incorporating elements of the Phoenix saga which had also been part of X-Men: The Last Stand. In this episode we look at the movie as an end to a franchise and discuss how it rates next to the others. We also discuss the casting choices and whether we thought the script held up. We finish off discussing how we think the MCU will incorporate the X-Men and whether we want to see a third attempt at the Phoenix Saga storyline.
In this week’s five-minute controversy we discuss whether we’d like to see Macaulay Culkin play the Joker in The Batman.
This week James, Gerald, and Juliette join the cast.

We all know of examples of fandom behaving badly, and in this episode we delve into the question of whether or not fandom is “broken”. It’s a complicated issue as we examine the interaction between fans and creators and how fans relate to other fans. We talk about how things can go South, how to know if you’re the problem, and give some tips on how to avoid things escalating. We define a “broken fandom” and we each give our own opinions on whether or not it’s broken.
