Days of Future Podcast: Examining the X-Men

In this episode, Joe provides a full review of the original runs of Excalibur and X-Factor, which he finished mere minutes before recording! He then ranks all of the ongoing X-Men titles in the year 1998, where he currently resides in his Big X-Men Catch-Up. Plus, Trev & Joe discuss the new rumors about the potentially worrisome reason Rupert Wyatt quit the Gambit movie. Meanwhile, during all of this, the guys struggle to stay on the topic of X, as they also get into their thoughts on Diet Mountain Dew, Mean Girls Day, Trevor Noah's first week at the Daily Show, Doctor Who companions, Johnny Depp, and so much more. That's right...if you're a big fan of tangents, this is the episode of Days of Future Podcast for you!

In the second Fan Commentary episode, Trev & Joe provide a running commentary for Bryan Singer's 2003 sequel, the very loose "God Loves, Man Kills" adaptation, X2: X-MEN UNITED. Babyface Wolverine, inexplicably scarred Nightcrawler, accent-less Storm, and useless-as-all-hell Cyclops - all are discussed, as we revisit this much beloved entry in the franchise and see if it still holds up today. NOTE: Again, while it might be fun to watch the movie along with the guys during this commentary, it is certainly not a requirement.

In this mini-episode, Trev & Joe discuss some of the recent casting news regarding X-Men: Apocalypse and Deadpool, giving their opinions on the actors officially cast, and speculating on the characters mentioned in the leaked Deadpool casting sheet. But first, a brief (and completely off-topic) rememberance of the 2010 Conan/Leno Late Night War, and opinions on which X-Man would make the best Saturday Night Live host.

In this episode, Trev and Joe take an in-depth and head-scratching look at one of the oddest X-characters of all time: Madelyne Pryor, the Jean Grey clone. But first, the guys ponder why all-powerful mutants would choose to wear bright spandex costumes, and briefly discuss Night of the Sentinels, the pilot episode of the classic 1992 X-Men animated series. Plus, in the first edition of the new regular segment, X-Crement, Trev shares his frustration and confusion with Mystique's shape-shifting powers.

The year is 1980. Mount St. Helens is about to erupt, Ronald Reagan is on his way to being elected President, and over in Hollywood, megastar Bo Derek is preparing to star as Dazzler in what will be the first live-action blockbuster movie from Marvel. That's right, decades before we were all wowed by how impressive AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR was, we almost had an even more ambitious cinematic superhero spectacle - a DAZZLER movie that would have seen everyone's favorite disco-queen mutant, along with Spider-Man and the Avengers, zapped to the far future. Set to star an extremely eclectic cast including Derek, Robin Williams, Cher, KISS, The Village People, Rodney Dangerfield, and more, the DAZZLER movie obviously never actually happened. But in this episode, we take a look at the bizarre treatment written for the film (by comics legend Jim Shooter)...as well as the problematic, but perhaps more-relevant-than-ever 1984 graphic novel, "Dazzler: The Movie" (also penned by Shooter), which details Dazzler's encounters with the sleazy men of the entertainment industry.

But first, we discuss news of LEGION's third season being its swan song, ponder which X-property we'd like to see M. Night Shyamalan direct, share our thoughts on Wolverine teaming with Conan the Barbarian in the new "Savage Avengers" comic, and - bringing it back to Dazzler - take a look at the recent announcement of her and other Marvel characters receiving brand new animated series from Hulu.
