Ian and Iain kick X-Month off where it all began on the big screen for Marvel's merry mutants, X-Men (2000) and Iain gets a crash course in X-History as they read X-Men: Grand Design by Ed Piskor.

Also introducing a new segment for Giant-Size January; "What would MCYou do?".

Lessons learned: X-Men was written by Solid Snake, Tom Cruise was not cast as Wolverine, Magnetism is basically magic and the Podcar is coming.
