Did you know Bryan Singer's "X-Men" was NOT the first X-Universe movie? Perhaps rightfully forgotten, Marvel's Merry Mutants made their live-action debut back in 1996, in the FOX TV movie "Generation X," an adaptation of the then mega-popular comic series about the younger generation of future X-Men. We watched it, so you don't have to, and this week we have an in-depth discussion about this unsuccessful (on so many levels) attempt at capturing the X-Universe on film. But first, we ponder Ben Hardy's potential role in "X:Men: Apocalypse," and debut a new segment, X-Tra Stupid Question of the Week, this time speculating on which X-Man would make the best retail manager. Plus, we get ready for our upcoming Age of Apocalypse episode, by looking at the lead-in story, Legion Quest.

In this special episode, Trev & Joe provide a running audio commentary for Bryan Singer's X-Men (2000), X-amining the film's highlights and lowlights. Wolverine's hair, Rogue's re-invention, Storm's questionable accent, and Magneto's clacking balls...all this and more are discussed, incuding the casting decisions that could have been, and how the movie holds up to today's glut of superhero films. NOTE: 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.
