After talking about doing this episode since way back when we first started this show, the recent release of (and critical and fan acclaim for) Kelly Thompson's "Mr and Mrs X" series has finally given us the perfect time to finally take an in-depth look at one of its stars, the ragin' Cajun himself - Remy LeBeau, otherwise known as Gambit! Undeniably one of the most popular and well-known X-Men characters of the modern era, Gambit also has his fair share of haters and detractors. Where we do we fall? Do we still consider Gambit a worthy addition to the X-Universe, or an embarrassing throwback to a different, "edgier" era of comics? What do we think of his powers, backstory, and overall character traits? Do we believe he has lived up to his early potential? Tune in to hear these questions and more discussed as we delve into Channing Tatum's favorite X-Man.
But first, we ponder the potential of a future X-Men theme park (possibly for the second time), sharing our proposals for mutant themed rides and attractions. We also discuss the chances of re-casting the X-Men for the MCU. And, in another installment of "Mutant Match-Up," an original New Mutant with a unique (though often mocked) power takes on a famous X-Men daughter and on-again/off-again X-Men member, in a battle for the honor of protecting YOU. All this, and more!

The 2018 San Diego Comic Con is now officially in the rear view mirror, and while there wasn't a TON of X-related news coming out of the event, there were certainly a few big tidbits worth discussing. So join us as we offer our thoughts on the two new X-titles announced by Marvel - the relaunch of "Uncanny X-Men," and the villain-centric "X-Men: Black." Plus, we take a look at the brand new trailer for season two of Fox's THE GIFTED. Can the sophomore season maintain the momentum of last season's much improved final third? This trailer is our first potential peek at the answer.
Plus, we talk about the newly revealed (alleged) release dates for NEW MUTANTS and X-MEN: DARK PHOENIX, and once again speculate on the future of the X-Men movie franchise in its current form. And, in another installment of Mutant Match-Up, a classic X-Force member and the most famous Morlock of them all go head to head in an unexpected culinary based showdown.
