What if the X-Men movies you've skipped over actually held some surprising gems? In our milestone 90th episode of Project Geekology, we promise to change your perspective on "Dark Phoenix," a film often dismissed but ripe for rediscovery. Anthony and Dakota dive into Dakota's fresh viewing experience and explore how this movie fits into the broader X-Men franchise tapestry, especially against the backdrop of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's dominance.
You'll gain a newfound appreciation for Jean Grey as we unravel her complex powers and traumatic origins. From her formative car accident in 1975 to the pivotal reveals orchestrated by Professor Xavier, we walk you through the emotional and narrative highs and lows.
