'Logan' has just created two scenarios for the 2017 film year. Either 2017 will go down as the greatest year in superhero films, or 'Logan' is the best superhero film of 2017.  James Mangold and Hugh Jackman put together an amazing movie with appropriate use of the R-rating when it comes to violence and dialogue. EJ puts this film in his top three, and Matt put 'Logan' in his top 5 superhero films of all-time edging out 'Guardians of the Galaxy.' This is a spoiler free review of 'Logan.' On the first half of the show, the duo takes a look at Matt Damon's 'The Great Wall' - not good, not bad, but lots of wasted potential.  Strap yourself in buckaroos! Episode 111 of the Monkeys Fighting Robots podcast is here.

One film took the head-shot, the other gave a headache.
