The April Movie of the Month franchise special show is here! You voted on a bunch of franchises, the X-Men won, and now we’re talking about it, that’s how this works. And boy oh boy what a franchise this is!
Jay and Richard were joined by Chris, Jeanette and the X-Men‘s chief champion Thomas to discuss all seven core X-films, digging into the timelines, surprisingly horrific deaths and ascertaining, once and for all, which film is the most delicious. Also, stick around to the very end for some fun out-takes!
