Episode #70 – X-Men: The Dark Phoenix Saga
In another double-feature, X-fan Greg Dunn makes his debut appearance on the show to talk about the best adaptation of the classic X-Men story, The Dark Phoenix Saga. It wasn’t one of the movies, but the four-part story that appeared in season three of the 1992 animated series! Perry and Greg reminisce over their memories of the show, how it got them into superheroes, how it holds up today, and what they believe is truly the greatest X-Men story ever.
