Days of Future Podcast: Examining the X-Men
We're about to make a name for ourselves here! It's finally time to read and review the screenplay for the unmade Channing Tatum Gambit movie that was in the works as part of the Fox X-Men universe for oh so long. The version we have is a "Second Draft," dated August 28th, 2015, by screenwriter Joshua Zetumer. Join us as we go through the script scene by scene, offering not only a play-by-play on the story, but also our thoughts on whether or not this truly would have been a worthy solo movie debut for Tatum's version of the Ragin' Cajun.

171 - The DOFP 10th Anniversary Special!!
Days of Future Podcast: Examining the X-Men
Believe it or not, Days of Future Podcast is ten years old! That's right, a full decade of talking the weather, Richard Kind, and The Single Guy, with the occasional bit of X-Men discussion, as well. To celebrate this important milestone, we're reviewing the original "X-Men #10," from January of 1965, by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. In this issue, the original five X-Men journey for the first time to the Savage Land, as the X-Men and Marvel readers alike are introduced to Ka-Zar, the lord of the jungle, and his sabretooth tiger, Zabu.

170 - DOFP Halloween Spooktacular 2024: Dead Girl Review
Days of Future Podcast: Examining the X-Men
We're back, just in time for one of our most stressful events of the year - trying to figure out what to do for another DOFP Halloween special! This time around, we have decided to review X-Statix Presents Dead Girl, a five-issue 2006 miniseries from Peter Milligan, Nick Dragotta, and Michael & Laura Allred. Intended as a coda to Milligan and Allred's then recently-completed, critically acclaimed, cult run on X-Force/X-Statix, Dead Girl sees the titular mutant team up with Doctor Strange and a squad of (at the time) dead superheroes, to travel through the various levels of hell in an...

Days of Future Podcast: Examining the X-Men
It's September, and that means it's officially "Back to School" season! And we're in the academic spirit, reading and reviewing X-Campus, a four-issue miniseries, from 2010. "As told by some of Europe's greatest comics storytellers," including writer Francesco Artibani, X-Campus re-imagines the X-Men mythos and the origins of the team, re-casting the characters we know and love as the faculty and students of the Worthington Foundation, a special High School for gifted youth. Does this reimagining work? Which characters are best suited to this sort of approach, and which feel out of place cast...

167 - Deadpool & Wolverine: The Review
Days of Future Podcast: Examining the X-Men
Deadpool & Wolverine is finally here, breaking box-office records and generating lots of discourse. So of course we are legally and morally bound to add our voices to the mix. Our mixed feelings on Ryan Reynolds and the Deadpool franchise is well recorded, but so is our love of Hugh Jackman's portrayal of Wolverine, so what did we think of this eagerly anticipated team-up? Is it the saving grace of the MCU it was suggested to be? Is it anything more than a cameo-filled nostalgia fest? Which surprise characters did we enjoy seeing? Why did Marvel and Disney spoil some of the surprises? Were...

166 - Deadpool & Wolverine Preview & Predictions
Days of Future Podcast: Examining the X-Men
We're only days away from Deadpool & Wolverine. It's been commonly positioned as a "make or break" moment for the MCU, but is also - perhaps more importantly to our purposes - is essentially the true beginning of the MCU's "Mutant Saga." Are we excited for the movie? In this episode, we discuss our general enthusiasm (or lack thereof) levels for the film, as well as each share five predictions (cameos, storylines, etc.). Note: This episode was recorded on June 29th, before Marvel Studios and Disney announced/spoiled some additional Deadpool & Wolverine information. But hey, now...

But first, we discuss Steven Soderbergh's recent comments about superhero movies being sexless. Plus, it's the long awaited return of our podcast-within-a-podcast, "Chatting Tatum," as we look at Channing Tatum's revelations about his GAMBIT script and his disappointment about the movie never being made.
