About this Episode
X-Men (2000) - Ep. 396 Mutants, magnetism, and black leather superhero suits - this week the Normies travel back to the year 2000 to revisit X‑Men, the film that launched a new era of blockbuster superhero cinema. From Hugh Jackman’s star-making turn as Wolverine to Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen’s legendary rivalry, the hosts break down the movie’s legacy, its surprising influence on everything that followed, and whether the first cinematic mutant team-up still holds up over two decades later. So pop those claws, cue up the Cerebro helmet, and join the Normies as they ask the age-old question: what happens to a toad when it gets struck by lightning?
