Generation X

Episode notes

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
