our fave supercrips face their harshest saga yetâ¦a radio613 movie review! Yup, we take the hour to discuss and analyze themes of disability and Jewish identity that arise in the X-men trilogy (+ prequel): Is Professor X a liberal assimilationist? What does Mystique have to say about privilege/oppression and âpassingâ? Is Magneto a Zionist? Has Beast sold out to eugenics???? Tune-in to find out!
Did we miss a key plot line? Upset that we didnât discuss Stormâs rad-ness or Wolverineâs reformed nihlism? Feel free, as always, to comment or write us at radio613@riseup.net.
Music this week from Gogol Bordello âTo Rise Aboveâ and The Selecter âThey Make Me Madâ
