34 - Enter Grant Morrison, Exit Spandex - a podcast by Trev & Joe

Few X-Men fans would deny that, as the '90s came to an end, the once fantastic comic franchise had lost its way. With the surprise mega-success of Bryan Singer's 2000 film, it was important that Marvel get the property back on track. To do so, they turned to Scottish comic-writer superstar Grant Morrison, hoping he could re-invent the X-Men. And, boy, did he, as his NEW X-MEN run delivered a bold, and controversial new take on the team, unlike anything fans had seen. In this episode, Trev & Joe x-amine his kick-off story arc, "E is for Extinction," three issues that would drastically herald a new era for Marvel's merry mutants. But first, the guys discuss the SHOCKING confirmation of a Deadpool sequel, and take a look at a recent news story concerning "real life X-Men." Also, the Vine app, Banksy's real identity, and the acting skill of Dominic Purcell are all x-plored for some reason.
