Motion Picture Meltdown - X-Men: First Class Review

The summer of the Superheroes is upon us, and after being thoroughly impressed with Thor, I decided to keep things going by taking my talents to the theater and giving X-Men: First Class a chance. Yes. You heard me correctly. I decided to give the X-Men franchise (while still being in Fox Entertainment's mitts) another chance after X3: The Last Stand. Oh wait, I did that when I went to see the monstrosity that is X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Okay, so shoot me. I gave the franchise another "another" chance.

MPM: S02/E12 - Marvel Superzeroes

Ghost Rider | X-Men Origins: Wolverine - Hello faithful citizens, and welcome to our fantastic superzero edition of Motion Picture Meltdown! With Mark and I both being gigantic nerds and comic fans, our childhood was riddled with dreams and amazing expectations of seeing our favorite comics come to life in the cinema. Boy were we wrong. In this episode, Mark, a very emotional Cheats McGee, and Whitney Holbourn talk about Ghost Rider, and X-Men Origins: Wolverine. These two movies take some of our favorite Marvel Comics characters, and throw them into the perennial diarrhea bowl that is Fox studios, and hang them out to dry with some even more terrible CGI. Along with the movies, we also discuss Whitney's open hatred for Nicholas Cage, the humility of Sci-Fy CGI, and Cheats' blatant outrages toward storyline differences. Enjoy!
