In the year 2000, X-Men fans were given what seemed to be a special treat. Legendary writer Chris Claremont, famous for his epic run writing the X-Men from 1975-1991, finally returned to the core X-titles for the first time in nine years. It was exciting! It was much hyped! It was...a complete disaster. In this episode, Trev & Joe take a look back at this now almost-forgotten, strange blip in comic history, when the greatest X-Men writer of them all was removed from the main X-Men books after only ten disappointing months. All is X-amined - the underwhelming new villains, the abandoned plot threads, and the behind-the-scenes drama that might have just doomed Claremont from the beginning. PLUS, the guys give their Deadpool box office predictions, discuss the announced casting for the Legion TV series, and share their thoughts on the X-Files revival (hey, it's somewhat X-related). All this, and more!
