Our X-MEN mini-series continues as we launch a new timeline to discuss 2011’s X-Men: First Class.

After the poor reception of the last two X-Men movies, a new direction was needed to get the franchise back on track. Enter (or re-enter, rather) Matthew Vaughn fresh off of directing Kick-Ass and ready for another swing at the mutant bat. Another prequel, First Class benefitted from a fun script and a strong ensemble cast, but while it is a very good, it still suffers from a handful of questionable decisions throughout. #JusticeForDarwin

Joining Nick and Scott to talk about groovy mutations and the swinging 60s is podcaster and X-Men academic, Joe Darowski.

Send us your X-MEN-related memories, questions, or feelings and we’ll read them in the next Betweenisode! [email protected]
