Mutants, assemble. Now Playing Podcast charts the entire X-Men film saga, from the forgotten ’90s TV movie Generation X to the game-changing 2000 original trilogy, the time-jumping prequels, the darker detours like The New Mutants, and the R-rated chaos of the Deadpool films. Prejudice allegory, messy continuity resets, iconic casting, baffling timeline logic, and more Wolverine than anyone could reasonably expect. Our hosts revisit every mutant era to break down the highs, the misfires, the retcons, and the claw-slashing legacy of one of the longest-running comic book movie franchises ever put on screen.
