Days of Future Podcast: Examining the X-Men

Trev and Joe hit their 10th anniversary in January 2025, which makes Days of Future Podcast one of the longest-running X-Men shows still in production. Their scope is broad: comics, movies, cartoons, and anything else that falls under the mutant umbrella. The dynamic between the two hosts is what keeps things interesting. Trev is the deep-cut comics guy who has been reading X-Men for decades, while Joe came to the franchise more recently and offers a perspective that longtime fans sometimes forget exists. They bounce off each other well, and the disagreements feel genuine rather than performative. With 179 episodes, the pace is more relaxed than some weekly shows, landing somewhere between biweekly and monthly. Recent episodes have branched out to cover Superman and Fantastic Four alongside their X-Men core, which reflects the broader interests of the hosts. The 4.7 rating from 75 reviews shows consistent listener satisfaction over the years. Episodes carry an explicit rating, mostly for language. Trev also hosts a separate podcast called Failure to Franchise, and occasional crossover episodes bring in those listeners too. If you want a show that treats X-Men as part of a larger pop culture conversation rather than in isolation, this is a solid choice with a deep back catalog.
