Summary

Before he was Professor X, he was Charles. Before he was Magneto, he was Erik. Before these movies were bad again, this one was awesome.

This week, Nando and DJ get to rewatch the X-Men movie that got enough things right to balance out all of the things X3 and Origins Wolverine got wrong and keep the franchise alive, X-Men: First Class. They nitpick the powers, the costumes, and of course the nuclear armageddon.

the four spots remaining. We're going to do the three reboot movies. So like first class

days for your past apocalypse. And then the last spot is going to the last stand, X-Men 3. And then
