In a world where mainstream superhero movies are less political than films based on fashion dolls, it's natural to wonder whether the genre has lost its edge. But back in the early 2000s, Fox's X-Men series struck a blow for freedom, proudly standing up to defend the rights of the most dangerous people on the planet. Whether you can whip up devastating tornadoes, blow up police cars with an unending stream of fire, or suck the life out of everyone you touch — you deserve a place in society, without criticism or complaint.
That's what we're talking about this week on the Superheroes Every Day podcast, with the hilarious Stuart Gipp from the retro video games podcast Retronauts talking with me about Fox's 2003 political thriller, X2: X-Men United! Join us as we discuss evolution, beehives and the importance of caution when you tattoo your own face.
The podcast is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, YouTube, Overcast, Audible and lots of other places. Come check it out!
