That Film Stew Podcast

Directed and co-produced by Bryan Singer, X-Men: Days of Future Past is the superhero film based on the Marvel Comics superhero team the X-Men. Luke and Nathan send their consciousnesses back to 2014 to revisit the fifth mainline installment of the X-Men film series, the sequel to X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) and X-Men: First Class (2011), a follow-up to The Wolverine (2013), and the seventh installment overall. Convinced that mutants pose a threat to humanity, Dr. Bolivar Trask (Peter Dinklage) develops the Sentinels, enormous robotic weapons that can detect a mutant gene and zero in on that person. In the 21st century, the Sentinels have evolved into highly efficient killing machines. With mutants now facing extinction, Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) volunteers to go back in time and rally the X-Men of the past to help change a pivotal moment in history and thereby save their future.
