Episode 153: THE NEW MUTANTS

The Wages of Cinema

(Please note, there were some issues with the audio recording for this episode, in part due to the air conditioner but also the placement of the mics too close to it, our apologies in advance for dip in quality, we hope you still enjoy) Finally, the movie uh... some of us were asking for(?) (One of them, Special Guest Star Matt returning for the first time since before the pandemic hit, now has been sated) A whole new start to the X-Men franchise that... ended just before it could really get to the beginning process, The New Mutants has for audiences a brand spanking new cast, and only scant (err, one) presence of any characters that we've seen or heard of before in the previous X-Men world. And this time, horror is brought into the series, not to mention the setting being an institution for the wayward teens (re: dangerous to homicidal levels, woops) who can't quite be ready for the X-Men or Xavier school, so this will have to do... but what about those demons that keep cropping up once the new girl, Danielle, has been brought into the fold? Uh oh, once again, only this time the threats are dark, sinister, and there's nowhere to run for this group of hormonal, intense youngsters. So, is it any good? Find out here! Once again, you can visit Matt at https://mattthecatani.wordpress.com for his full, in-depth reviews (and believe us, he will go spelunking into the New Mutants even more there), and [e-mail] for any questions, comments, compliments, input and/or advice.
