X-Men Stories Future Films Should Adapt
Logan marks the tenth X-Men film--a landmark that many far older franchises never reach. To date, it is the second superhero franchise to reach ten straight entries (the only other being the Marvel Cinematic Universe). With 4 films on the horizon (Deadpool 2,X-Men New Mutants, X-Men Supernova, and X-Force) and that Gambit movie forevermore in development, the future looks bright for these mutants.

Movie Review: I Called Him Morgan
Rock ’n’ roll makes a pretty flashy claim on the title when it comes to live-fast, die-young stars, to the point that they’re sortable by age, with 27 alone accounting for the losses of Jimi, Jim, Janis, and Kurt. But the more sublime world of jazz has its own tabloid-worthy roster of geniuses taken before their time. Seminal jazz age cornetist and Louis Armstrong contemporary Bix Beiderbecke drank himself to death at 28 in 1931. Charlie Parker dragged his heroin habit across his 15-year career before succumbing in 1955 at 34 (a coroner took a look at his corpse and adjudged it to be closer to 60). Clean-living hard-bop trumpeter Clifford Brown, who had already laid claim to being one of the all-time greats, died a year later in a car accident at the tender age of 25.

Must-Listen Podcasts To Match Your Vibe
