Hosted by Andrew Quinn and Darren Mooney, and this week with special guests Graham Day, Luke Dunne and Phil Bagnall, The 250 is a weekly trip through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users. New episodes are released Saturdays at 6pm GMT.
This week, Shawn Levy’s Deadpool and Wolverine.
Wade Wilson wants to “matter.” Rejected by the Avengers, he finds himself working as a car salesman. However, when agents of the Time Variance Authority show up promising to spirit the vigilante away to “the Sacred Timeline”, Wade finds himself forced to choose between fulfilling his dreams and protecting his family, with the aid of the most unlikely of heroes.
At time of recording, it was not ranked on the list of the best movies of all time on the Internet Movie Database.
