This week on New Release (episode #161) … baby mutants Derrick and Drew go back to a special time in superhero cinema. Before we had a 30+ film MCU there was only X2. Well, there was Superman and Batman and Spider-Man and X1 but still, seeing comic book characters on the big screen in 2003 felt more exciting, somehow. Wolverine, Prof X, Rogue, Jean, Magneto, all your faves are back … along with newcomers like Nightcrawler and Lady Deathstrike. I know it sounds crazy, but were the early aughts actually peak superhero filmmaking? From Raimi’s Spider-Man movies to Nolan’s Dark Knight? Or is that nostalgia talking? Either way, it’s blockbuster season on the podcast so search ‘New Release’ on Spotify or Apple to subscribe. Stay tuned for another huge sequel for next week.
