The New Mutants, or X-Men, Interrupted

Marvelous! Or, the Death of Cinema

Remember that one poster you saw at the theater back in 2017 for that X-Men spin-off that you kept waiting to come out and never did, only to one day find it was playing at a movieplex near you in the middle of COVID? It's The New Mutants, the final installment in Fox's X-Men franchise victimized by both the Disney buyout and being the product of the guy who directed The Fault in Our Stars trying to make a horror movie for Freeform teenagers (among a bunch of other things). And in a shocking turn of events, Cole actually liked this one and thinks it's one of (if not the) best X-Men movies ever. Nicole and Stu thus spend significant time reacting to this unforeseen break in the ranks.
