The X-Men film franchise was weird. Highs and lows and continuity just all over the place, and rather than sum it all up, Dan and Keith and special guest/X-Men enthusiast Munsi Parker-Munroe dig into its weirdest chapter: that time they took two tries at making a movie out of the Dark Phoenix saga, and hired the same writer both times. In 2006, Brett Ratner replaced Bryan Singer to wrap up the X-Men trilogy while also not doing that, then 13 years later writer Simon Kinberg managed to talk himself into a promotion to write and direct Dark Phoenix, in which the MacAvoy/Fassbender X-Men are dragged into a second attempt that half of them very clearly hate doing. Which did the Dark Phoenix dirtiest? Laugh and learn with Recovered and Munsi!
