IM SO HAPPY. WE ARE BACK BABY

"up at noon and blowies you used to call it" LMAO!!

Hugh Jackman was a last minute replacement for Wolverine, that's why he's so skinny. Dugary Scott, who was the bad guy in Mission Impossible 2,(The John Woo directed one which also featured Thandie Newton of Solo and Westworld), and he played Prince Charming in Ever After with Drew Barrymore, had to go back and do reshoots for Mission Impossible 2. So at the last minute, they replaced him with Jackman who'd finished runner up in the casting. So mission impossible movies have directly affected 2 comic book movies, this situation, and Henry Cavil's mustache in Justice League. (Also if you didn't know, Cavil was the runner up to Brandon Routh in Superman Returns and Daniel Craig for James Bond. Lost to Routh because Routh favored Christopher Reeve a bit more and Craig because he was too young and they wanted rugged).

You guys forgot to mention the best line in the movie. When Wolverine comes back after fighting mystic (not sure if i spelled it right) and Scott asked if he was the real one. " How do I know you're the real one?" Wolverine response with "You're a Dick"

Y'all are forgetting about Blade. That was really the first attempt at a more serious comic book movie and for being rated R, was pretty successful.

Sir Ian McKellen was very well known in the theatre world and as a Shakespearean actor before his time with X-Men. Just thought I’d throw that out there. If anyone’s interested you guys should see the acting class him, Patrick Steward, and other famous actors teach Shakespeare with John Barton.

Remember this is the superhero flick that started it all (I mean the new age of "grounded" comic book movies that brought superheroes to the mainstream).

So stoked for this! There should be a Kinda Funny In Review for EVERYTHING. Do Studio Ghibli after this guys.

When I saw a quick thumbnail I thought Jared was in this, but nope, Just Greg in a bald wig

I love the fact this is a recurring show. GREAT WORK GUYS!

IT'S HAPPENING! I love the OG X-Men movies!

I love how the plot description takes 1 hour haha love you guys so much :)

I see X-Men, I click like. #StillWantAGambitMovie

Great podcast guys! While I've never been much of a huge fan of the X-Men films compared to the MCU series which I consider to stay more faithful to the source material, it's still fun listening to your opinions of how the films hold up now and can't wait to hear your discussion on X2: X-Men United. You might as well do an entire review for all the Spider-Man films (Sam Raimi trilogy, Marc Webb duology & Homecoming) leading up to Homecoming 2.

Nick asked if Ian McKellen had done LOTR yet. While the first film wouldn't come out until 2001, he had already completed principle photography on all three movies in the late 90s.

Man, there were some noticeable scenes where major x-men characters (Storm especially) just stood there being silent.

"X-periment with your brother or sister!" Real talk Andy might be the kinda funniest.

He’ll yeah, I missed Greg’s plots the last month or so

RAAAAAAAGUUUUU BAAAAAAAGUUUUU

The picture on the table is wrong, it's promotional for X2. And the background is artwork for Days of Future Past.

I am crazy because I first listen to the podcast then I watch the video (in full). Thank you, Tim, Nick, Greg, Kevin and Andy for creating great content. Because of MCU in Review, I started becoming a Patreon member. I am now a patreon of both Kinda Funny channel and is hopefully a best friend. Thank you

YESS YOU'RE BACK MY LIFE IS WHOLE AGAIN

Can we just address that from 2:16-2:20 Andy is still wondering wether or not that video was kinda funny related but doesn’t address it 😂

How awesome! I just randomly started watching these movies last weekend before I heard you guys had said anything about this. This worked out so well! Lol These films hold such a special place in my heart, X-Men 1 was the very first DVD I ever bought lol, so I may be very bias. But come one Tim and sometimes Nick, I love you guys but you guys were super harsh on this movie. It’s nearly 20 years old at this point so of course it’s going to be a sign of the time, and I don’t think you can really compare these to any of the MCU movies as they were nearly a decade apart, we had a quite a few superhero movies already at that point and they had plenty of time and examples to draw from to perfect that formula that X-Men really started. Thanks god Greg and Kev were there to spread the love!

I was super hyped for this until I remembered what week 3 and 4 are going to be...

Hell yeah my boy Nick sniffin' beers at 1:00

Oh man am I glad you guys chose that song for the intro

Great video, as always! I can't wait until you guys get to Logan!

Not sure I'm a fan of Kevin and the constant glasses look....but i still love him. Awesome episode! Keep up the good work @KindaFunny!

From all the best friends in Mississippi, we always enjoy the show from our tugboats. I just got my second one!

Basketball boy is my new favorite xman

"Can I have some more Fun Juice" Greg Miller. LMAO

Pleaaaase, what did he say? 44:20

So down for this. You guys going theatrical cut of The Wolverine or the (much better imo) unrated version? Same with which cut of DoFP?

Be cool to have a Disney Princesses in review. I already have an idea on how you can rank the princesses based on the first topic of the GOG show ever . . . .😉

Nick is 100% right about Hugh Jackman being a last minute addition. Dougray Scott was originally cast as Wolverine but had to drop out at the last second due to scheduling conflicts with Mission Impossible II. It was a whole thing back in the day...and I remember because I'm old, like Nick.

I remember this movie so fondly, I had an X-Men game for my GameBoy Color and I remember my parents taking me to see the OG X-Men the night it came out. I thought I had the coolest parents in the world. But GOD DAMN this movie does not hold up lol. I do appreciate it for what it did to spark the fire tho. Looking forward to the rest of XCU!

Morphe...

Does anyone know what video they are talking about in the beginning with the girl and her dad? 1:55

Great first episode guys! Ps. Where's the after credit scene?

Up at noon and blowies... Jesus Greg I'm crying from laughter!

I totally get now why I thought Jared was in Greg’s instagram about this

Was waiting and hopping for a post credit scene

Looking forward this new series, keep it up guys :) Also an idea for the next one, DC animated universe in review??

"Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur." Seriously on point analogy.

It's crazy that everytime people do a retrospective on comic book movies, Blade gets no love on reinvigorating the genre.

Kevin looks like the bank robber who gets left behind in a heist film

When are we getting basketball boy movie though?

What's the joke at 44:20? I rewound a bunch, that shit's illegible.

Wooooh! Been watching for a couple years and this has become my new favorite show!

The villain from Mission Impossible 2 was supposed to be Wolverine but reshoots kept him from doing it. Hugh was skinny because he had almost no prep time. Also, he thought Wolverine was another word for wolf and had to be told to stop doing wolf things by the director...Australians...

Hugh Jackman was a last minute replacement for Dougray Scott who was forced out of playing Wolverine because shooting Mission Impossible 2 as the villain ran over schedule and he was forced out. Poor bastard. Also the actor playing Senator Kelly was NOT the actor from Harry and the Hendersons, thats John Lithgow, Sen Kelly is played by Bruce Davison. As always, love the podcast guys, especially when the films suck, like most of the X films do. Cheers Boys!

Please do a react for ant man and the wasp, and do a proper mcu in review when the bluray is out. I really dont like when you skip gregs narration

For a split second, I looked back at the screen and thought I saw Jared. But it was just Greg in a bald cap 😂

Tim's fucking commitment to the ender is fantastic

Who is the character/actor behind Mystique in the background it looks like Chris D'Elia

Isn't Josh Tranks Fantastic Four part of the same universe? Can we get a review and ranking of that as well?

Are you guys going to cover Days of Future Past: The Rogue Cut or Once Upon A Deadpool?

Man the noise of Rogue chewing in the car with wolverine drove me insane.

Holy fuck Andy's ending line lmao

I cackled when Andy dropped the 1:26:42 bombshell

Greg, great shirt.

Hey guys why dont you just put up a image of the Rad Guys Bad Guys rankings so Greg doesnt read them all? Then you just edit it like you do for the movies rankings

After this you guys should do "Every James Cameron movie reviewed and ranked".

Rewatching after Deadpool & Wolverine… 😂😂😂 the tiny studio is throwing me off

You guys should review Incredibles 2

OMMFG THAT INTRO!!!

At 13:00 Andy Kevin and Tim all grab a drink lol

As far as I remember Dougray Scott was supposed to be Wolverine, but had to pull out because he was filming Mission Impossible 2 at the same time.

Looking forward to the Days of Future Past and Logan reviews

First time I've heard a shout out to Mississippi listeners, and it was perfect!

Vision from solo got me cracking up

music kicks in...oh Jesus yes

I've publicly asked Nick to make a Bond in Review happen. Now we just need the fans to cry out for it!! Show 007 some love folks!

Love the XFL shirt Greg. U think itll be good???

Greg’s reaction at the end!! XD Tim: “Until next time...” Andy: “eX-periment with your brother or sister!” Kevin: “What?! No!” Greg: “JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!!!” Nick: “No, no, no, no, no, no...”

gotta do all the batman movies from batman to bvs (or jusice league?)

After this, you should review the Blade movies.

I'm so glad to see so many people are giving Blade the credit it deserves in the comments here for starting the CBM revolution.

Nick reminds me of John Lovitz from "The Critic" his tag line could be "It stinks"

HERE WE GO BOYS!!!!!!!!!! LET'S GO!!!

Near the beginning, when Tim mentions the '89 Batman movie as an early comic book movie, I think it's a little different. The early '90s Batman movies are like movies that are based on comics, but made as movies. X-Men, in my opinion, tried to be a comic book movie that gave you the feeling of the comics. That's just my opinion though.

Is there a reason Kevin is wearing sunglasses? Lasik or something?

The natural punchline to Storm's line at the end is "they croak" so it just winds up feeling like Storm doesn't know how jokes work to me.

I see Greg using a Sasha Banks cup I guess its BOSS TIME

No post credit scene?! :(

Not sure if Kevin is hung over or Paula finally got annoyed and smacked him.

Yes!!! Let’s Go!!!

Waiting for Nick Cage's Ghost Rider in Review

Can someone please photoshop Nick's face on Alex Jones, screaming about wigs? Thanks

guys! just killing it :)

Guys guys... Nick saw the accent but heard the wig

I think we missed the mystique abs, she is looking good

Love the podcast, but damn... no post credit?

I keep coming back to this just to listen to Andy close out the show

I like that neither of the images on the monitors are from the X-men movie they're reviewing.

BABY WE DID IT, IN REVIEW LIVES

Wolverine controlling his claws are canon.

Is there any hope of you guys ever re reviewing Black Panther or Infinity War? I really liked Black panther more upon a more recent viewing

dougary scott was in line for the wolverine role... but delays on mission impossible 2 meant the role was recast with an australian. if curious about his other film work (besides a movie with drew barrymore), twin town is a welsh crime flick..... SPOILERS..... Also with Rhys Ifans pre- notting hill fame
