PREQUELITIS!  This week we're going back to 2009 for the Writers' Strike Special:  X-Men Origins: Wolverine.  Come see how a boy named James gets all his iconic things:  his names Logan and Wolverine, his mortal enemy, his sayings, his claws, his jacket, his belt buckle, his catchy phrases, his dubious morals, his motorcycle, and his lack of memories!  Logan forgot the events of this film, but we sure haven't! 

On Keep or Cancel, we're talking about the best hobbit, Dominic Monaghan!

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009), directed by Gavin Hood and starring Hugh Jackman, Liev Schreiber, and Ryan Reynolds is available on Disney+.
