Films from the Phantom Zone: Failed & Forgotten Comic Book Movies

Send us a text

You remember those 90s movies where the main characters traveled to medieval times for no reason? That's this movie, but with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles time travelling to feudal Japan. Why? Who knows, but let's get into it!
On today's Keep or Cancel, we're talking about the careers of once-aspiring, and since very successful, comic book writer/artist duo Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird! Note: I mixed up Eastman for Laird for a lot of this episode. Apologies.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (2007) is available on HBO Max.

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.

4:03 - Shit We Missed in the Last One
