Hello and welcome to Bill vs the MCU! Each month your hosts⁠⁠ Pop Break Podcasting Director Alex Marcus⁠⁠ and⁠⁠ Pop Break Editor in Chief Bill Bodkin⁠⁠ are taking another step into the wider Marvel Multiverse as the MCU dives deeper into their Multiverse Saga.

Bill & Alex spent all of 2022 rewatching the first four phases of the MCU, and they just spent 2023 covering the first phase of Netflix’s The Defenders Saga and the first four seasons of ABC’s Agents of SHIELD. This season, they are journeying into Fox’s X-Verse with their X-Treme X-Watch as they prepare for Deadpool & Wolverine this July.

Last week, they took a break from X-Men to give you a sneak peak at all the Phase 5 and Phase 6 projects in the works for the MCU. Now, they are closing out their coverage of X-Team related films by shining a lot on those forgotten Fox films Disney reluctantly released post merger. That’s right, they will finally discuss 2019’s Dark Phoenix and 2020’s The New Mutants. Are these overlooked masterpieces? The worst of the X-Universe? Something in between? Tune in to find out!

Watch along with us! Next month's titles are X-Men Origins: Wolverine, The Wolverine, and Logan (available to stream on⁠ ⁠Disney+⁠⁠).
