"Who is Agent X?" That was the question on the lips of at least dozens of Marvel fans back in the year 2002, when the company cancelled its low-selling title DEADPOOL (no, seriously), and replaced it with a new book called AGENT X. While the titular character seemed to share a lot of traits with everyone's favorite Merc with a mouth, the mystery of his true identity, and how it ties into Wade Wilson, was in fact a driving force of the book. Trev hasn't read the book since it first came out, but Joe just recently read it for the first time. In this episode, Trev valiantly attempts to remember the plot-twists and reveals of the story, and both guys discuss the book's place as an odd footnote in Deadpool history, and whether it was a worthy temporary replacement still worth revisiting today.
Also, more talk about the upcoming NEW MUTANTS movie, which has just announced its writers, and Bryan Singer's recent comments about the LEGION TV series tying into the movie universe. Plus, Doug Liman's exit from the GAMBIT movie is discussed in another new episode of everyone's favorite podcast-within-a-podcast, Chatting Tatum. Meanwhile, an attempt to keep this episode more on target than usual is obliterated by talk of Mac Sabbath, Crystal Pepsi, THE MATRIX, waifu's, STRANGER THINGS, THE RING, and more.
