Description
In our first run at the Fox X-Men films proper we tackle Dark Phoenix, a film that turns one of the classic story arcs in comics that turns it into a flaccid two hours of cinematic rice cake. We explore the film's very troubled production history, the career of writer/director Simon Kinberg, and discuss the source material, how commercially oriented film production strips it of everything weird, exciting or interesting, and put two more Xs into the X-Men.
