  • Summary

  • In a time before the MCU, before X-Men, before even Blade, it was the mid-90s. Comic book adaptations were ropey at best.

    One such example at trying to put superheroes on screen was this forgotten TV movie: Generation X.

    Based on the Marvel comic of the same name, this X-Men spinoff didn't quite set the world alight. In this episode, Morgan explains why.

    We discuss:

    • More dodgy accents Don Cheadle would be proud of
    • Where did the budget go?
    • The brilliance of Sweet Valley High's theme tune
    • The strange use of 'Muffin Man' as an insult
    • Why Stretch Armstrong is a better superhero than Skin
