Before X-Men hit theaters, there was Generation X — a 1996 made-for-TV movie that tried to bring Marvel’s mutants to life with neon colors, mid-’90s slang, and some very questionable CGI. Laramy is joined by Gerry D from Totally Rad Christmas to talk about this early attempt at superhero television, the changes from the comics, and why the movie still has a certain nostalgic charm.
From Emma Frost’s questionable teaching methods to Russell Tresh’s over-the-top villainy, we explore what worked, what didn’t, and how Fox eventually delivered on what this film promised.
