X-Men: Days of Future Past - Episode 60 Horror News Radio

X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) somehow, miraculously, manages to mix in the X-films (X-Men, X2, The Wolverine) and the First Class X-Men films together while simultaneously negating the negative entries in the franchise (X3 and X-Men Origins). The grue-crew revel in the film's accomplishments and question some of the time travel shenanigans.

 

Dave ramps up the news of the week with Hannibal Season 3, The Walking Dead and The Overlook Hotel while Santos takes on a new segment of the show, Stump the Saint, featuring horror trivia questions provided by you, the Horror News Radio listener!

 

Co-hosts Doc Rotten, Santos (The Black Saint) Ellin Jr., Dave Dreher, Thomas Mariani and Vixen are back again this week to give you the best in horror as they recap, review and obliterate all that is horror this week!  The Black Saint's Horror Trivia Contest continues this week with the winner of the Insight Editions' latest book Godzilla: The Art of Destruction.
