17 years ago, an unknown Aussie by the name of Hugh Jackman took on what seemed an impossible task: to breath life into the most popular X-Men character, in the franchise's very first live-action adaptation. His interpretation not only made him a star, but would go on to become one of the most beloved, iconic comic book movie performances of all time. Now, nine movies later, an era comes to a close, as Jackman plays Wolverine one last time in the brand new film LOGAN. In this episode, we give our full review. Is it a worthy swan-song for Jackman's version of the character? What about Patrick Stewart, also potentially leaving the series after this? How important is the much-discussed R rating to the film? Is the introduction of X-23 to the X-MEN franchise an effective one? And...did we cry? All this, and much more, in an in-depth discussion of the movie. Needless to say, SPOILERS abound in this episode, so approach with caution if you have not yet seen LOGAN. Also, some very quick thoughts on the pre-LOGAN teaser for DEADPOOL 2, recent casting news about the as-of-yet untitled FOX X-Men series, Simon Kinberg potentially directing the next X-MEN movie, and some new casting rumors for Cable.
