Episode 25- X-Men

Long debates about the best, worst, and most preferred mutant power to have (the ability to turn things to room temperature is obviously the most useful), how to get knighted, and the science behind your hair turning white from a scare. Dame June and Sir Harvy talk shit through X-Men (2002).

 

And while I have you here. I'm going to hop up on my soapbox for just one moment. This movie draws parallels between the treatment of mutants and the treatment of Jews during the Holocaust. And we have the luxury of fictionalizing this horror into entertainment because it was once unimaginable that such a thing could ever happen again, could ever happen  in America. But we now live in a time  where Nazis are lauded by NOT MY PRESIDENT, where violence is an acceptable form of expression. People are burning Nike's because a black man dared to take a stand. There are children in cages and human rights being stolen. And maybe you aren't an immigrant, or a person of color, or a member of the LGBT+ community, or a woman, or a veteran. Perhaps you do not need access to healthcare or have a child in school, or breathe air or drink water. Perhaps you are a fucking alien from another planet. In that case, stay home on Tuesday. But for the rest of us, for true Americans, for true patriots, for humans who give a shit about other humans GET OUT AND VOTE.
