It's week 2 of the best movie marathon we've ever embarked on, the Tom Cruise-a-thon. Two weeks, two films, two Tom Cruises (to keep or cancel)! This film also has a very tenuous comic book/superhero connection. Let's talk about it! Oblivion stars Tom Cruise, Morgan Freeman, Olga Kurylenko, and Andrew Riseborough, and it's directed by Joseph Kosinski.
On Keep or Cancel , we're talking about Tom Cruise again, but this time as a person. We spend a lot of time discussing Scientology so be prepared for that!
Oblivion (2013) is available on HBO Max!

4:40 - Initial Expectations
7:14 - Plot
1:08:36 - Analysis
1:29:51 - Keep or Cancel

Tackling our next big series, we're breaking up 20th Century Fox's X-Men in groups: we'll do X-Men 1-3, the Wolverine films, and the prequels all separately. X-Men (2000) might just be the film that ushered in the modern era of superhero movies! It's a major milestone in cinema, so it's appropriate for it to be a 1-year milestone for Films from the Phantom Zone! X-Men stars Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, and Sirs Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen!
Trigger Warning: On Keep or Cancel , we're discussing director Brian Singer, known pedophile and alleged rapist. Because of the no-brainer decision, we also discuss the separation of art and artist.
X-Men (2000) is available on Disney+, in the Marvel Legacy section.
