Jump into the deep end of the (dead) pool with us as we dive into (get it?) the many multiverses of Wade Wilson aka Deadpool! We start by talking Deadpool's history in comics before chatting about Avenging Spider-Man #12-13 from Kevin Shinick and Aaron Kuder that sees the Merc with a Mouth and Spider-Man tangling Hyno Hustler in dreams within dreams including takes on The Breakfast Club and The Rocky Horror Show! We wrap up by talking exceptions for Deadpool & Wolverine and what other parodies we want to see Wade take on.

Ep. 133 What if Deadpool was Frank-N-Furter in the Rocky Horror Picture Show (and was also in the Breakfast Club with Peter Parker aka Spider-Man)?

This one is a silly one! As we await the release of Deadpool and Wolverine, we return to Deadpool for the second time (and the first time in three years) to talk his origin story, his connections to Harley Quinn, his presence at Comic Con, why he is a gateway character for teens and so much more. We also see Deadpool become both Judd Nelson and Tim Curry in some wacky dream sequences as Deadpool tangles with Spider-Man in hypnosis inspired dream sequences.

After many X-Men episodes, we finally do deep dive into everyone's favorite cajun: Gambit! We start by talking the debut issues for both Gambit and the twisted villain Mr. Sinister with whom Remy shares a dark secret. The secrets keep coming in the 90s aftermath of Age of Apocalypse that sees a fracture between Gambit and Rogue. For this week's alternate universe we look at a What If that sees Gambit, Rogue and Sinister battle it out to one heck of a twist ending! We end by looking at the the wedding of Colossus & Kitty, how it affected Remy & Rogue and wonder what is next for the couple on the current run of X-Men 97. It's a stacked deck!
