The Mutant Detour: X2: X-Men United (2003)

Hello dear listeners!

We fear that the battle for mutant and humankind is far from over.

While last week’s discussion of 2000’s X-Men film had Matt, Edgar, and the listeners enter the Xhilirating, Xciting and Xtraordinary world of mutants, it only laid the groundwork for more to come.

Yes, we’re back this week with more mutant madness, this time discussing the immediate sequel, X2: X-Men United from 2003, also directed by Bryan Singer.

No controversy there!

While last week wet our appetite with a buffet of talking points, X2 proves just as efficient at sparking conversations.

Among the legion of philosophical nuggets of gold listeners shall regale in: Huge Jacked Man, singing the movie’s main theme, feral roars while attacking: buffoonish or not?, flying the X-Men minivan, the relationship between Kurt Wagner and Orouroramorou, Bryan Singer as Colossus and vice versa, getting stabbed by a blade of lust, and drive-by reviews of two other classics: X-Men Origins Wolverine and Dark Phoenix (which we haven’t seen but who cares).

So sit back, grab a bear from the fridge, get Iceman to blow it fresh (ooh!) and check out this latest episode of The James Bond Complex.

We swear to god we’ll be talking about 007 again soon!
