Episode 287 of Tom Clark's 6M Podcast is a review of X-Men: Apocalypse. Tom Clark and Phil Lindsey break down the 2016 installment that brings the First Class era to its most ambitious scale yet, as Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr, face off against the ancient mutant Apocalypse. The guys dive into the film's 1980s setting, the introduction of a younger generation of X-Men including Jean Grey, Cyclops, and Nightcrawler, and Magneto's emotional turning point that reshapes his path once again. Does Apocalypse deliver on its massive scope and franchise stakes, or does it collapse under the weight of its own ambition? Dive into that and a lot more!

Thanks to technical difficulties, Tom's audio is a bit imperfect this week. But we'll be back on track next week. Enjoy the episode
